The Fiorelli girls show off their bags!

There’s nothing us girls at Fiorelli HQ like more than proudly wearing our bags on a daily basis! As the high summer collection kicks in and the summer sunshine falls upon us, we thought it would be nice to show you how we wear our bags!

So, Holly and Georgie, our Marketing Manager and Ecommerce Editor, chose their favourite Fiorelli bags from their personal collection and went on a tour around London to show them off!

According to Holly and Georgie, the hardest part of the day was limiting the number of bags they chose to take with them. Both openly admitting to a serious handbag addiction, the girls have built up an enviable collection over the years!

Take a look through the photo’s below, and let us know which is your favourite bag and shot! Do you have any of the bags featured? How would you work your bag?

Spitalfields Market - Georgie wears her Portobello Shopper in Indigo and Tan.
"This is the ultimate summer bag! Big enough to fit in a number out outfit changes, I am prepared for anything! Its woven pattern is also right on trend this season. I can't wait to take it away with me on holiday, it will look fab on the beach"

Just off Brick Lane - Holly wears her Bermondsey Large Shopper in cream and indigo, and Georgie wears her Portobello Shopper in indigo and tan.
Holly - "My Bermondsey shopper is the perfect size for carrying all my vintage finds in the markets"

"The ultimate smmer trend - Nautical is the perfect way to get in a summery mood. I love this striking canvas bag - I just need to find a boat now to complete the look!"

South Molten Street W1 - Holly wears her Wimbledon shoulder bag in White.
"There's a reason this has been a best-seller for us, it's just a great everyday bag. The perfect size for work or play, it suits any occassion! I love the bright white colour option, it looks amazing in the summer sunshine."

Hyde Park - Georgie wears her Portobello Crossbody in tan and Holly wears her Virginia satchel in soft white.

Holly - "People always comment on my Virginia satchel. The quilting is amazing and the satchel shape is set to remain the must have shape!"

Jaks Bar - Walton Street SW3. Georgie wears her Ruby Lane clutch bag in indigo.
"I couldn't resist this little clutch when it first came in! I love wearing it to brighten up an outfit, or clashing it with other bright blues to fit in with the amazing colour blocking trend. I have a few weddings coming up this season, I can't wait to brighten up pretty dresses with it!"

Behind the scenes of a Fiorelli photo shoot…

It’s almost time for our amazing high summer collection to launch online and in stores, and in anticipation of its arrival we thought we would whet your appetite with some exclusive behind the scenes footage of our SS11 campaign shoot! Way back in September (doesn’t that feel like a million years ago?!) we packed up our favourite samples of the collection, and along with a team of hair stylists, makeup artists, stylists and of course our amazing photographer Theo Cohen we headed to a garden in  Earls Court, London. A little dubious about this “amazing garden” in the middle of Earls Court we arrived and with some trepidation unpacked all our props from the van and went to set up. How wrong we were about the set! There was only one word to describe it – WOW! I couldn’t believe that this amazing house and garden was really situated in the heart of London. It just didn’t make sense! With a huge swimming pool (which, thank goodness, was heated) and a gorgeous traditional hammock it was the perfect scene to show off our High Summer collection.

The inspiration for the shoot was a combination of 70’s icons, block colour, underwater  and poolside glamour. With the collection featuring some gorgeous bright hues, from turquoise to orange, it was all about creating a truly glamorous summery feeling. Having put a lot of time and effort into researching the exact look we wanted to achieve it was all hands on deck to ensure that we pulled it off. Everything had to be perfect! With hair and makeup done, and our lovely model looking stunning (we weren’t jealous at all…) it was time to start playing around with positions and poses that showed off our Fiorelli bags to their full potential.

Much to her dismay our poor model pulled off some incredible poses in and around the pool, despite the temperature plummeting! Our job was to try and keep her warm enough so that her goose-bumps didn’t show up on camera! The price we pay for fashion…

After a long day and numerous bets on who would be the first one to fall in the pool, we eventually wrapped up, both in terms of the shoot and ourselves! Rushing home to get a good night’s sleep was essential, so that all fresh faced in the morning we could start to go through all the shots and choose the strongest ones. After a big debate in Fiorelli HQ (we really struggled to come to a unanimous decision!) we chose the following six images. Enjoy your sneak peak of the new collection! We’d love to know your thoughts, which is your favourite shot?
