1940's Photoshoot

Here are a few pictures from a photo shoot I styled a few weeks ago to promote my beautiful friend Lottie Ryan's new website which you can find at http://lottieloves.com/

To fit in with her love for vintage dressing we themed the shoot around the the 1940's and pin up girls. This was the perfect setting to use some of our bags to accessorise the outfits, and I can't think of a better model to do them justice.

To find more amazing photographs from the shoot visit the photographers page at http://www.urbanvox.net/ or go to http://lottieloves.com

Enjoy!

Summer in the City

Now that the weather is hotting up, we have found some fantastic bags to compliment your summer wardrobe. Turn to softer fabrics during the summer months including crochet, knits, and cloth. Stay ahead of the game by choosing wooden framed bags for an edgier look.

Wooden Box Bag

This unusual wooden box bag is a must have for the summer, and produces a more individual alternative to the classic basket. The design is very intricate, with lots of wooden strips that intertwine at the sides to help it to collapse down. Price; £35.

Crochet Bag

A crochet envelope bag is a nice feminine addition to your look, and being lightweight it is perfect for the summer. Complete with two wooden handle poles and a wooden button, this is the perfect accessory to fit in with the crochet trends this season. Price: £28.

Satchel Bags

One of our favourites: this hand held leather satchel bag provides a mini alternative to the classic satchel style. It is an extremely cute accessory for summer days, and can also be used as an unique alternative to a clutch in the evening. It has a very unusual clasp that twists open to a small box shaped interior. If desired a strap can be added, by attaching it to the rings on the sides of the bag. Price: £35.



On trend chocolate brown, satchel bag from the 1970's. The inside of the bag is separated in to three compartments, and has an additional 3 pockets. The long shoulder strap is adjustable, and it has an unusual metal turn clasp to open up the bag. Price: £35.
