Trend: Summer Nauticals

The nautical trend was seen across the resort catwalks at Chloé, Chanel and Rachel Zoe for 2014. It's a timeless trend which works with a multitude of outfits - in our eyes you simply can't go wrong with navy and white, along with some stripes!

With a nod to the trend, we've created some nautical inspired pieces for Spring/Summer 14. Our Francesca Shoulder Bag, is a classic with tan double handles and a cream and navy surround. For a cross body option, our Perry Shoulder mixes tan and navy with a quirky striped detachable purse and striped interior.

Prefer a one-tone nautical feel? Choose our Harper Mini in Patent Navy for perfect day to evening style, with optional shoulder strap.  Or how about our bright white Harper Purse, with a navy striped interior - it's a gorgeous statement piece. These would be perfect paired with sailor-style pieces as seen at Caroline Herrera.

Choosing the Perfect Purse

Picking the perfect purse is potentially precarious for even the most savvy purveyor of fashion. Alliteration aside, making sure you’ve matched your purse with your outfit is key to any Spring/Summer look. 

Whether you’re colour blocking with the rest of your accessories or going for the subtle monochrome look, it can make or break any outfit. Fortunately, we have the solution for every conceivable combination.

Harper Large Dropdown Purse

With the sun starting to make an appearance, there’s never been a better time to bring out the (faux) animal skin with our Harper Dropdown Purse. Perfect for taking on a night out or just relaxing in the park with friends, the Harper adds some texture to your outfit without being too loud about it.

An essential summer companion with full zip around detail, this elegant piece makes a statement wherever it goes.

Adele Large Purse

In a world always looking for the new black, we’re quite happy with the original. The Adele purse is a blend of classic style with modern design making it the ideal everyday purse.

A suitable addition to any outfit the Adele will work with anything you throw at it - making it not just a smart decision but a staple inclusion to any handbag.

Neema Medium Trifold Purse
