The Leather Satchel Co - Shop The Rainbow

The Leather Satchel Co is an infamous British heritage brand and the oldest existing Satchel maker that was established in 1966. The Leather Satchel Co was founded by Stephen Hanshaw who travelled around the world to enhance his creativity in bag designing.

In the summer of 1966 he was approached to design his first Satchel based from the era of the 1920s and since then he has successfully continued to do so. Stephen Hanshaw designed his first two colours in Charcoal and Chestnut  Brown which is what you see today.

During the latter part of the year, Stephen was approached again by a headmaster of a private school and was asked to design Leather Satchels for the pupils that attended - which gracefully launched his business in Liverpool. Now, fast-forward and press-play to 2013 The Leather Satchel Co has over 30 colours to choose from - just think of it like a bag of Skittles “shop the rainbow”.

Yes, Satchels are a bit pricey but think about the craftsmanship, uniqueness and the real leatherness (my own word) for a fashion accessory that will last a lifetime. However, if you don’t think your purse strings can stretch that far write it on your “wish list” for someone to buy for you.

Anna’s jewelry is artistically handmade and can be specifically designed for women to reflect their diverse characters and femininity. “All of my jewels are one-of-a-kind pieces, so there will be no-one else in the world wearing the same piece you are going to wear”.

Anna’s designs are made from simple materials such as metal, wood, glass, clay and paint that leaves a unique finish with colour palettes of the Gold’s, Blues and Whites.

In the later years, Anna expressed that she loves colour and light which also comes from the inspiration of the Aegean Islands and Sea as she travels there often and is enticed by the diversity of Greens and Blue skies.

Sweet & Co Jewelry

Sugary cupcakes are the best remedies for any relationship brake-up or for when you have the craving to eat something sweet and mouth-watering tasty.

Cupcakes are even better when you find them not just in sweets or cake shops but in the world of fashion - the jewelry realm and I have found the perfect brand ‘Sweet & Co’.

Sweet & Co designs have been around since 2005 (that’s eight years) and it’s only now I and some of you have discovered this sweet-tastic brand. Sweet & Co’s concept is “Sweet + Fun + Girly” which equals the sweetest females to be spoiled by delicious jewelry choices of cupcakes, ice-creams and donuts.

All of their designs are fun and girly but my favourite is the Mini Cupcake and Slice Cake Crystal Charm Bracelet at £26.99 sold on the Cityblis Webstore. Apart from the fact that it’s girly – I have always wanted a charm bracelet and so I will make it my mission to bag this one.

If you’re looking to get you jewelry sugar-fix then you can hit-them-up (contact) at info@sweetandco.it to sign up to their newsletters for info on accessories trends, promos, special request, questions or comments.
