Trick or Treat with Anya Hindmarch err Hindwitch

coutorture — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 10:40:18 -0700

Holiday marketing ploys are something we usually view with suspicion but Anya Hindmarch has found a charming way to celebrate Halloween. Customers will be invited to pick a sweet (toffee candy) from Anya Hindwitch’s Trick or Treat bag (no purchase necessary).

Those who pull out a Treat may win an Anya Hindmarch bag, clutch, purse or key ring from the Autumn/Winter 2008 collection or be asked to perform funny forfeits such as Balance a bag on your head or walking from one end of the shop to the other cackling like a witch as a trick. And of course there will be plenty of treats on hand such as sinister stickers and spooky sweets like jelly brains, skullcrushers and lucky bones to keep children of all ages happy.

This "Maggie" clutch is one potential treat!

Dior's Tribal Chic Spring 2009 Accessories

coutorture — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 13:12:14 -0700

Most of the fervent obsessing that occurs among consumers, buyers, and press has little to do with the actual clothing that is shown on the catwalk, no it is squarely focused on the much more lucrative, and these days, incredibly dynamic accessories department.

John Galliano's "Tribal Chic" Spring 2009 accessories thankfully did not manifest in masks or prints, but in fertility goddess heel figurines, vibrant earthy red crocodile platforms, and exotic hobos.

What's Haute Shoutout: Woven Wonders

coutorture — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 12:11:58 -0700

Its not just about Bottega Veneta's intrecciato anymore when it comes to woven bags. What's Haute has found this delightful white Botkier Marysia Clutch. She is more excited about it as a summer clutch but the woven snakeskin is what caught our eye. Most of the time doing a woven bag is like asking to be compared to the classic Bottega intrecciato but we are discovering that other bag designers are finding ways to make the weave their own. We particularly like the Elliott Lucca 'Pascale' Hobo Bag and Prada's Tessuto Weave

Elliott Lucca 'Pascale' Hobo Bag - $198.90	Anne Marie Shoulder Bag - $149.95
Prada Tessuto Weave Tote - $995.00	PRADA Tessuto Multi Weave Tote - $1,650.00
Nook & Willow Leather Weave Slouch Bag - $908.46	Elisa Atheniense Medium Weave Bag - $755.00
