newFLORA, the flower-inspired

newFlora - the flower-inspired

Here's the new version of the much acclaimed FLORA, the flower-inspired shoulder bag.
Entirely made of tough rose-printed cotton fabric on the outside and coated on the inside with a beige-coloured lining, this pretty shoulder bag is suitable both for your daily routine and for special occasions.

Coordinated to the print, there are a particular old rose decorative plastic button on the front and a functional zipper on the inside. Innovation point of the new Flora is the metal chain shoulder strap embellished with two interwoven old rose and olive green satin ribbons, a chic and functional touch to the previous version.

Let yourself be inspired by Spring's colors and patterns, wear the newFLORA!

August's special - 1st part: Wooden Swirls

Wooden Swirls - August's Special's first item

As promised, it's saturday and the first part of August's Special marches out: here's Wooden Swirls, the sylvan hand-tote.

Made in a very fine and soft to the touch cotton, the small hand-tote is wavy-shaped to usher your eyes through the serially embroidered floral swirls which in a temperate capriccio tangle themselves to an aery lacteous whimsical space. 

The distinctive two wooden handles are fastened to the tote body with a spicate beige ribbon, stitched with natural earth coloured threads. The practical aspect hasn't been left aside; a discreet velcro strap positioned on the inside cream-coloured lining ensures a safe and practical closure.

Let yourself wear the tangling swirls of a sylvan fancy, make Wooden Swirls yours!

Inspiring Flowers (3) - Done!

Flowerly inspired by Zara's TRF S/S '10 collection colors and patterns, this pretty shoulder bag is suitable both for your daily routine and for special occasions. Nice would result matching it with a beige dress or coat, and even better would be a flower-themed hair slide!

The outer part is made entirely of tough printed cotton fabric, while the lining is made of a gentle beige-colored synthetic material. 

Coordinated to the print, there are a particular old rose decorative plastic button on the front and a functional zipper on the inside. The shoulder strap in hardware is adjustable, as you can easily take how many bows you want off the chain.

Soon loads of pictures and further details of the item!

Looking at Zara's TRF Spring/Summer Collection 2010, I noticed flowers over flowers. Soon my mind recall that rectangle of flowered fabric in one of my bags full of materials: "It would be perfect!"

So, if you are a huge Zara's TRF fan and have recently flowered up your wardrobe, or you if just love the peaceful tones of roses prints, seek my next posts about my new bag, flowerly inspired by this collection.
