TLC Handbags Terry Tote Have you seen TLC Handbags? No, I’m not talking about the 90s hip hop group. I’m referring to a brand of special handmade handbags made from woven reeds.

TLC Handbags are made in a remote village on the island of Bali. They are made to look like woven baskets reminiscent of Nantucket baskets. Each piece is handmade from a special reed that grows on the riverbanks called “ata”. Because each piece is handwoven, there are slight TLC Handbags Aruba Pursevariations in style and size that give each piece its own character.

These bags are perfect for spring and summer when the natural look of straw handbags is in style. They’re perfect with anything from jeans and T-shirt to a lovely summer dress.

Paris, LA & Toronto Fashion Weeks, the tour continues!!

 Paris, LA & Toronto Fashion Week!! Spring/Summer 2010

Traveling between many cities and getting people from different worlds to review the eenamaria collection, provides an amazing outlook on peoples’ tastes and ideas of style - worldwide. Talking of which, let’s start with Paris and how they present fashion……

the-box-paris.jpg

The Box in Paris…Accessories on Hair…hmmm…

the-box-paris-2.jpg

I was pretty amazed at the work that was being shown. Not only that, but the space is gorgeous. The Tuileries were also quite stunning in the level of work that was shown, however, nothing beats the energy that surrounds the catwalk shows…..

 

Remember the scene from The Devil Wears Prada when she throws out her cell phone?

devil-wears-prada.jpg

 The three car deep line of taxis outside the Paris Fashion shows, I managed to get through three separate tents, one palais and one petite chateau…..of clothes, handbags and TONS of shoes bliss…..& blisters!!! A bientot a fevrier!!

fashion-week-cars.jpg

 My last night in Paris…eating dinner with two very fabulous artists, talking Politics, Religion and the place of Art in Capitalism….how much more Moulin Rouge can you get!!

moulin-rouge.jpg

And then, because I am in the business of self inflicted pain, I flew straight to Los Angeles Fashion Week, because going from NY to London to Madrid to A Coruna to Alicante to Milan to Paris in three weeks, just isn’t enough…..

Directives West featured the latest collection in their trend forecasting Fashion Show….look how pretty our bag looks!!!

la-fashion-week.jpg 

Oh! and of course, I was able to squeeze in some surfing in Malibu…always important!!

malibu-surf.jpg

Malibu surfing kicked my ass!!

Made my paddling look like a little girl’s and made me pearl like an oyster!!

 

Finally, Toronto Fashion Week!!

WOW!!!

First of all, check out our bags, although they look a little exhausted from all the traveling, here they are, featured in our new Milan Showroom,  Gotham…yay!! They represent many different brands, but of course, most important, is eenamaria!!

gotham-showroom.jpg

Hmmmm…..and look at what Moschino (below) was showing in Milan this Fashion Week!!

Perhaps they’ve been looking at the eenamaria website:

Does it make you want to………………..

And then, even though at eenamaria, we’re all about color, Cavalli and Prada, who are normally excellent, had a heavy weighted, black and white selection of clothing…..

 And then, of course, there was fashion on the street….at the top Department Store in Milan, Coin:

As I was boarding the Fashion Plane headed for Paris, after dodging the mass exodus leaving Milan to get to Paris to catch the first show, I knew I was in a city all about Fashion:

Fashion Week at Somerset House

London Fashion Week…..was AWESOME!!

Of course, there was Mark Fast and his Pre-Raphaelite models:

My feminist side embraces, my fashion side says ‘NO’. Not sure where I should sit on this one, brave, nonetheless!! Then of course, there was the designer of my heart…Vivienne Westwood, in what was a very drapey collection, one that I don’t think was her best, but given the economic times, fun and frantic……

 Vivienne Westwood’s drapey collection

Given that I make solid items, and am really an Industrial Designer at heart, I was excited by the booths that surrounded the shows, perhaps the most exciting booth there, was the Surf Board company, Swami.

 Yummy surfboards by Swami!!!!

Of course, in case you didn’t already know, we are currently selling in Allders department store, London and if you have some time to make your way there, just remember that it was the great Sarah Mower and Harold Tillman that announced the launch and helped celebrate the arrival of the eenamaria brand on UK soil.

allderslogoltbl.gif

Allders is the 6th largest department store in the UK and is home to the new Boutique - Fashion Capital.

At a star studded and designer clad event, Fashion Capital welcomed its new merchandise and eclectic group of entrepreneurs into its new home. I was thrilled to be invited and arrived in London from New York, but 6 hours before the event and managed to squeeze in a meeting on my way there, which will

Two of UK’s biggest fashion connoisseurs were present to tip their hat at all of the brands’ that made the cut!

harold-tillman.jpg

Harold Tillman (President of the British Fashion Council, owner of Jaeger and Allders) with Designer Sarah Morgan, liked the bags, but wanted to know, do they sell?

sarah-mower.JPG

Sarah Mower (Fashion Editor at the Daily Telegraph) with Designer Sarah Morgan, wanted to know, how do they feel?

 

Thanks to the customers at QVC, our varying retail locations around the US, Germany and Japan, I can safely say to each of their questions YES and AMAZING!

Don’t believe me, read what our customers say:

‘Whow, the stuff is really cool for our museum stores.’ - Jörg Klambt, Guggenheim Museum, Berlin

‘The bags are receiving lots of attention here. - Lorri Wright, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth

‘Look at these handbags! The multicolor red, orange, pink with white lined is the one that I like. Bright colors are definitely the new trend for spring. Last week my aunt bought one with brown, green, and orange. I never would have thought that these colors would go well together. They really look nice.’ - Dealio.com, www.splendicity.com

‘I LOVE the “take a walk on the wild side” bag. It’s roomy enough to be my every day bag for work yet super chic enough to be stylish. I usually carry a plain big black leather bag, but that one would be so much more fun!’ - Elita, www.mamanista.com

‘One of my favorite bag styles on eBags from Eenamaria has to be the “I Mean Bizniss Travel Tote”. The green and white contrasting designs really pop out. This is one of those statement bags that I would wear to with everything! It would definitely perk up my work outfits (and all my coworkers at the fashion website I work at will be so jealous!)’ - Fufu, www.mamanista.com

‘I chose the Workin’ Weekend Baby Tote in White/Black/Yellow/Red. In 2009 I vow not to be a wallflower anymore and who could be one with this stand-out, look-at-me, purse? All my life, I’ve gravitated toward the solid “earth” colors..brown, tan, black. I can honestly say I’ve never had a bright or colorful purse. This purse says “Hey, look at ME!”, which is how I’m planning on 2009 going…look at ME!’ - Michelle, ww.LI-reviews.com

I came across her bags a few months back, & fell in love with them. Thank you for such a thoughtful and interesting interview with her! - Ashe Mischief,
