Glitter Black Bow Tie

This bespoke glitter bow tie was made recently for a very important wedding. See important wedding in the New York Times here. 

Lined in silk with a double bow and silk band, this bow tie has a traditional shape with the added matte sparkle creating an elegant textured alternative to the standard satin design.

Malibu Glitterati Collection

Malibu Glitter Purses - Tropical pinks, oranges and yellows scream of fresh hot summers. We designed three new pieces that bought out the Summer fun in our favourite glittering fabric.

The Malibu Ray purse is a slice of modern deco design, lined in yellow silk with a heavy-metal zip. Our Candy Heart key-ring will ensure your lover always 'holds a key to your heart' (would you like a slice of Cheddar with that?).
And finally my personal favourite gracing my hand this summer is the Malibu Stripes purse with its refresher lines of glitter, chic and glitzy in one.

Get Your Glitter On - New Collection

Today I'm very excited about our new glitter accessories collection. I fell in love with this glitter fabric a while ago when the wonderful Janine Basil sent me some snippets. It had stayed in my sketchbook for nearly a year until the lovely Caroline (a fabulous bride) and Kurt Geiger collided with the silver glitter bow pumps that will forever be one of my favourite shoe styles. You can check out all the current glitter shoes that we'll be matching our accessories too here.

So then we made the bag to match for Caroline (above) ......

And then the bag was so gorgeous I decided that every accessory must be designed in glitter ......
And then in every colour. Yes there is a dress involved too!

The first collections in Pumpkin Spice, Ruby Reds and Sparkling Silver will be available online on Monday.

The Week That Was ...... Mainly Glitter and Bows

The  most perfect shoes to go with our dresses we have ever seen ..... and their name is Anna at Kurt Geiger. Anything that sparkles and we're happy!

And we made a bow clutch bag to match which will be coming to the shop very soon!

A whole layered cake of petticoats went to new owners ...............

......... along with a little black dress to Canada for a 'CHANEL' themed hen party!

We made matching accessories to this gorgeous Sheena Holland hair band for a bride.

The Week That Was

This week we have cut and made and said goodbye to a few dresses for various exciting occasions. The leopard print is my favourite of the week complete with it's bright flashy underskirt. I really can't wait to share the story of this dress!

 The underskirt to go with, full of ruffles!

The Liberty Claire-Aude Tana Lawn fabric we are making the prettiest bridesmaids dresses from. You should see what's going with them below in the form of glitter!

The delicate vintage lace of a secret dress that has the ultimate twirl factor of a dress we have ever made.

Anna jet-setted over to Barcelona for a beautiful Art Nouveau garden wedding of friends. Check out her new blue dress made in a vintage scarf print.

 And ........ THE GLITTER. It's coming very soon and boy is it going to be special. Sorry it's not a dress!

That was the week that was. I also went for a great Sunday walk in Langport Somerset and I have quite an exciting pink bundle arriving soon that is the best treat ever. Watch this space, next week is going to be soooo exciting!
