new prints by kim gledhill and inigo elizalde

Inigo Our designers have done an incredible job of creating amazing prints for this fall/winter season.  Hitting on some of the hottest trends like romantic gothic and edgy plaid, IKim_1 haven't seen much on the market to rival their work.  Kim's zigzag print has a very Missoni-esque quality to it and Inigo's animal/plaid combinations immediately made me think of Gwen Stefani and the preppy/sexy mood of a Catholic school uniform.  Inigo's dark and romantic birds will carry you well into next spring where the aviary Fm trend is going to stay strong.  I'm also quite fond of my peacock print as well, it's subtle, fun and sexy.

New Designer Arrives!

SusiebagsAs a Graphic Design Communications graduate from Philadelphia
Textiles and Science, Susie Ulsh brings the perfect eccentric mix of practicallity and whimsy to her designs.  She's known in Philadelphia for driving a car that matches her hair color and accessorising accordingly.  Her sense of style shows whether she’s freelance package designing or planning an outfit for Saturday night. It's no wonder she jumped at the chance to contribute to such a stylish project.  To find her work, sort by designer, Susie Ulsh.

my new favorite print

Pods_pumkin_groundIn case you didn't know, we're launching the site with well over 250 original prints for you to choose from.  This one comes to us from the "Philadelphia Social Club" which is a print source home grown in Philadelphia, PA run by fashion industry survivor who takes her inspiration from the City of Brotherly Love itself and secondly, from vintage prints.  I can promise that you're going to have a tough time deciding which bag and print you want to buy first -- every single one of them is different, beautiful and unique.

Meet Kelly

Pict0436When launching a new hot handbag company, it never hurts to be friends with a new hot model.  Lucky for me, I knew Kelly before she realized her knockout potential, when we were both slaving away in designer retail hell.  She came over for a long overdue visit and we ended up having a full on impromtu photoshoot.  You can check out all of the results in our Photo Album.  Isn't she just fabulous?  She really looks that way, barely a trace of gloss and she's gorgeous even in this hideous lighting --- one thing's for sure --- you're all going to L-O-V-E these bags!!!

more prints!

people keep asking us to see more of our prints so here are some pics of our new style rendered with prints from Inigo Elizalde.  Enjoy.
