Modalu Handbags

Norwegian-born designer Marion Muhonen Nilsen established Modalu in 2004 to offer high quality, wearable leather handbags with a strong identity.

These beautiful bags blend vintage sensibility and modern touches and they truly are a pleasure to carry. They're pretty well-priced too at around £140.

Daily Inspiration

After 14 years as a senior designer for Australian labels including Saba and Charlie Brown, the super-talented Yeojin Bae unveiled her eponymous label just over a year ago, and the hype was such that it was quickly snapped up by stockists worldwide, including Barneys, Liberty and Matches.

Yeojin's beautiful designs are wearable and desirable and reflect her passion for refined tailoring & meticulously detailed dresses...




New Day - Birger et Mikkelsen

I am love-love-loving the Day - Birger et Mikkelsen A/W 08 look book that I came across today. Classic, easy pieces with a twist, perfect for Winter layers...and just look at the beauty of the detail in the coat!

New Season Looks

Schumacher's A/W 08 collection is beautifully tailored with classic couture details & a modern spirit. I'm loving the use of colour in the second look & the beading on these tunics...

Cute New Website from Odd Molly

Swedish fashion company Odd Molly* have come up with a truly amazing new website to showcase their quirky, fun collection.

The new oddmolly.com is created entirely from Odd Molly designed fabrics. You really have to go on the website to appreciate it - I definitely think they've succeeded in their aim of making the Net a more attractive and cosy place. Maybe because it's raining outside (again!), but the Odd Molly site just makes me want to snuggle up under a big pile of their fabrics with a good book and a cup of tea and maybe even a cat - which is weird because I'm not really a cat person!





* Odd Molly is a Swedish company that designs, markets and sells women’s fashion worldwide through external retailers. The company is represented in around 1600 shops in 38 countries including:
Chica Ho, Oxfordshire
Franc, Bakewell
Katharine Jayne, Newbury
