Q’s line of Caslee python bags and small goods will increase in price by 10-20 per cent across all designs and styles come February 2012 due to overwhelming international market demand and limited supplies. Good news…we have managed to stave off this price hike till February 1^st.

So, if you have been deliberating ordering a bespoke Caslee product or buying one of the more than 100 styles we have stocked at Q…procrastinate no more. See you at Q!

Lee Belle the beautiful talent behind the Johnny Swain label has just launched her first collection of bags that maintain her feminine with an edge sensibility. The line not only travels seamlessly from day to night (the chain handles can be tucked within each bag to transform into a clutch), they are crafted from high performance luxury microfibres over-printed with chrysanthemums in gold, silver or red or very simply sport the word “love” executed in a flowing cursive script.

What a wonderful way to usher in 2012.

 

LA-based CC embraces “It” girl style with her gleaming gold hardware and fashion forward sensibility that has made her brand a staple in the accessory wardrobes of super stylish young Hollywood. She consistently creates the season’s must-have pieces that fuse uptown elegance – sparkly cocktail rings and bangles - with a downtown edge – leather wraps in all colours and styles.

 

Nicole Richie’s Holiday 2011 just docked at Q and it has the normal sprinkling of oversized rings, chevron styles and feather necklaces.

The team behind the Ottoman-inspired Gypsy line aims to unite passion with fashion in their jewellery. Inspired by one of history’s greatest empires – the Ottoman dynasty – the line is handcrafted in Istanbul by skilled artisans using centuries-old techniques. The necklaces are magnificent and will connect you to a culture and tradition that was and is rich and timeless. Feast your eyes….

Kenny Ma’s understated and elegantly handcrafted bags are made from nickel-free brass which is aged and then overlaid with gold or silver to give it an antiqued look. The finished product is then enhanced with Swarovski crystals to give it a flash of fire and modernity. Apart from a range of evening purses and clutches we also brought in Kenny’s range of subtly bejeweled bobby pins. 

The brand and the man behind it are so confident of the quality of the work that they back each Kenny Ma piece with a Lifetime Guarantee.

 

Super lightweight, easy-on-the-pocket and shoulder Thursday Friday are the handiest bags we have in-store and are this season’s anti-status symbol…or are they ? Straddling the line between designer and NOT – with the clever positioning of a designer bag on the back and front (and bottom) of each canvas tote, Thursday Friday’s All Together bags are the perfect masstige product. And by the way, the line is a big hit with LA fashionistas who have sparked a fan frenzy making it difficult to keep the line in stock.
