Love Handbags for life...

An Austrian fashion label – Fiorelli were originally the brainchild of the Marketing guru for Dunlop. Fiorelli was first launched in the UK in 1990 with the ambition was to make Fiorelli a leading accessory brand in the UK.

Along with handbags, Fiorelli now specialises in luggage, belts, small leather goods and sunglasses. The brand has four standalone stores in the UK and operates a thriving wholesale business to some of Great Britain’s largest department stores as well as independent retailers. The label has now begun to branch further into the European market, with accounts in Germany, Sweden and Holland.

Their handbags are fashion-led yet functional and designed by a young team of designers in London who try to incorporate both the worldwide stage and the catwalks of Europe. The 2008 handbag range incorporates handbags that to me look like they have strong designer influences – for example the leather weave from the Cole Haan collection… What do you think?
