It racing season! Apart from the horse racing and betting, the ladies get really competitive about standing out from the crowd. Society events such as the Royal Ascot are a perfect opportunity to show your best assets and become “Belle of the ball”. To steal the spotlight, one must be a picture of elegance and sophistication.

The Great British Drama of Royal Ascot is famous for its dress code.  The underline component is, of course, the hat. Well, let’s not make it all about the hats this year and give an element of intrigue to the outfit by emphasizing another essential accessory – our beloved handbags. Standing out from the fashion pack is what we believe we do best. This is how we intent on bringing glamour and a bit of avant-garde rock to the occasion.

This summer, we are thinking bright colours as well as shiny fabrics will add flair to the picture.

The Severina Cream Handbag and Maxi Severina in Sky Blue

The Maxi Severina in sky blue perfectly complements a dress or suit in almost any print. It will be in its best element accompanying white, nude, rose pink and even grass green colours.

On the other hand, one of our favourites – The Modern Extravaganza in Black Patent – will add true sensation to any single choice of wear you make. With its colour and patent glossy finish, it speaks of impeccable style and promises center stage.

If you opt for something more classic and refined, you can pick The Severina Handbag in Rose Red. The quintessence of radiance is hidden in a basic and easy style with a celebration of splash and emotion. You give polish to an outfit with that bag, which the French would define as ‘savoir faire’.

Don’t forget the hat, but after all make it in an air of sophistication and confidence. Even our Creative Director Anya Sushko tried on hats last week during a report she was doing in central London.

Remember, the perfect handbag can do more than people think, just show them you know how.

As promised, we kept our word and hereby present to you the final part of our ‘Bespoke Bag Project” series.  In this chapter, we reveal how the very last adjustments create the finalised handbag for our client Lenka Gourdie of Bag Servant. We invite you to cross the finish line with us!

The interior of a handbag is as important to us as the exterior. In the first picture you can see our design team engrossed into working on the inside of Lenka’s Maxi Karolina. It reveals how we line the pockets and adjust every single part before putting them all together.

Lining of pockets

Have you ever wondered how the zip is attached? On the left you can see how the leather zip collar is being glued on the inside, followed by dropping in the lining. Once that’s done, you can see how the final bag is being built, on the right. This is done by inserting the gussets in and gluing the entire bag together before top stitching every single part.

One of our favourite shots is this one – where the bag has been stitched and is ready to go to its owner. We are very much excited about it and can’t wait to hear from Lenka once she receives her brand new Karolina. With its beautiful colours and sophisticated design, there is no doubt it will suit our stylish client very well.

On the last picture, we have to say goodbye to Karolina and wish it is welcomed with great enthusiasm and eagerness. The bag is packed and ready to go, waiting to be picked up by the courier any moment. Suffice to say that we are beyond excited to have created something that special from scratch.
