Spotted! Pink Velvet Bag
Pink Velvet designers Lin and Rachel have created a selection of purses with plenty of girly charm and a little extra pizazz, including the little number in the photograph, which I picked up over the week-end.
Their creations are full of vintage glamour mixed with a contemporary edge, featuring diamante details, lace, suede ribbons and flowing fabrics from silk, to wool, and even upholstery material. Each piece maintains its own amalgamation of colour and design and of course, has its own story. “The material is deconstructed and re-worked and combined to produce the unexpected.” Rachel explains. ”Our inspiration comes from all sources – interior design, high fashion, Japanese handicrafts, paper crafts … things we see everyday or chance upon.”
Each item is hand crafted from beginning to end. “We just like creating things. We’ve always been sewing and crafting things for ourselves because we enjoy the process of making things. And because it’s all handmade, no pieces are exactly alike.”
Drop by DIS to pick up one of Pink Velvet’s sweet handcrafted purses.
