Lulu Guinness is famous for her exquisite, witty handbags and accessories. We have selected our favourite pieces from her Spring Summer 2012 Collection.

Started in 1989 the label became an immediate success stocking stores worldwide, including Harrods, Selfridges and Fortnum and Mason.

Lulu has bags included in the permanent fashion collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum and has had designs shown in Sotheby’s.

Her bags have been seen on the arms of celebrities including Dita Von Teese, Sienna Miller, Agyness Deyn, Sophie Dahl, Keira Knightley and Alexia Chung.

In 2009 Lulu Guinness was awarded The Independent Handbag Designer Awards Iconoclast Award for Lifetime Achievement in Handbag Design.

Fashion video ad campaigns are being used ever increasingly of late. With fashion houses creating short mini epics with some of the hottest Hollywood actors and directors. Vanessa Bruno is no exception, creating her beautiful ethereal magic for Spring/Summer 2012 with director Stephanie Di Gusto and staring actress Kate Bosworth.

We first met  Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi back in 1996 when they presented their Preen debut collection to myself and Talita in our Koh Samui store.

The collection consisted of Victorian inspired beautiful dresses and jackets which we loved and immediately placed an order.

Since those early days, Justin and Thea have made Preen into an Internationally recognized fashion brand.

We love Preen’s Pre Autumn/Winter 2012 collection fashion film, we also love Yasmin of Pandora’s Jukebox  Fame who used to work with us many years ago at Koh Samui. Yasmin produced the soundtrack for the film and also for Preens catwalks x
