With the tagline “beautiful bags for glamourous girls” Danielle and Damon the dynamic duo behind London-based Miss Budd make individually screen-printed small and big purses to fit all your purse-like needs. Featuring cherries, love birds, roses, butterflies and shoes set against different backgrounds, the bags are totally charming and delightful. Trivia note: the business received its initial boost when Paul Smith placed a big order for sale at his stores!

Buttons and Bows from Keira

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Our latest design find is Glasgow-born and Edinburgh-based by way of Central St Martin (I can not resist saying so but I really, really love Glasgow and Edinburgh – great memories!) Ms Keira Thorley, who simply put, just loves a bow. She has adopted the bow as her design signature and fashions it into crazily cute and slightly dangerous weapons of mass distraction… imaginative XXL leather cuffs, wonderfully over-the-top clutch bags and anklet bows. Is this the new ankle chain….c’mon we dare you. As Starfleet Commander Jean Luc Picard said …”make it so”.
