Spring 2013 is going to be all about colour! I was catching up recently with reading all the Fashion trade magazines that I get on a regular basis and I came across a double page spread in WWB (Womenswear Buyer) magazine. The article was discussing and reviewing the key trends in Womenswear for Spring/Summer 2013….

And the Winners are: Very different.
Last week I set up a competition to win an Olympic handbag. The entries to write a caption for my photograph of 5 handbags set out as the Olympic rings were all fabulous and deciding on the winners was a hard task. In the end I delegated that to my assistant and I’m very pleased…

Famous Handbags: The Fendi Baguette
I can’t believe that the Fendi Baguette bag is 15 years old this year! This small but perfectly formed underarm handbag was released in 1997 and was an instant hit. Out of the designer ‘it’ bags, this has to be my favourite. It is called the ‘baguette’ because of its shape and for the fact…

New Video: Handbag Organiser
Here’s a video made during my YouTube training day in Guildford with Nicky Kriel and Chris Towndrow. I loved the course and I learned such a lot. I was really nervous during the filming though! Next time – I will remember to smile I’d love to hear what you think. Thanks Shona
New Design: if you like a big bright bag, this is for you.
Following the sucess of the bright coloured leather shoppers in the medium size and large round size, we’ve decided to go even bigger and try a large square shopper shape. This bag really is a carry-all! So far, we have just one colour in stock. This bright orange bag comes with shoulder length handles so…
One Design Doesn’t Fit All.
Since I’ve been in Doha, a very important design issue has been made clear to me. One design doesn’t fit all! It didn’t hit me at first, mainly because I was using one of my ‘Billy’ purses but now I know that one design doesn’t suit all. The Billy purse is a long slim zip…
