Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Melbourne graphic designer turned accessories designer Elise Caarels has realised that her humble Australian handbag and wallet label ‘ELISE CAARELS’ has the ability to mature to brand status!

Continuing to grow from the launch in season 03/04, the label now has a high-end home in lifestyle boutiques nationally! (including Brimelows)

Highlighted by her sublime leather handbag and wallet pieces, Caarels quiet determination is evident as she continues to evolve her collections, stamping her mark in the accessories platform of Australia and New Zealand. And the rest of the world awaits her arrival…

OiOi have a stella range of baby bags for their 2010 Autumn/Winter collection, jacquards, mock croc, lamb leather and quilted metallics are just a few of the many materials and patterns for the season. Gone are days of nappy bags that designed for practicality alone, nowadays they have to practical and super stylish.

Ubercircle necklace from Uber Kate

Rectangle pendant necklace from Koolaman

Bird Pendant (also want this in a keyring) from Polka-dot magpies
