The trench story

Posted on: March 6th, 2012 by Carmen 1 Comment

I’ve always wanted to tell you the full story to my skinny trench collection… so here it comes. I had this runway picture from an old ELLE magazine in my purse for – well – don’t know exactly how long but it was a looooooong time. The detail on this trench coat planted a seed in my brain and it started turning all around it. So now and then I’d let it out of my purse for a bit and off it went, back in. And there it sat and made me start.

After the first sample run we realized there needed to be some oumph in the bag. My friend came along wearing this g-star trench coat – so. The ingredients were set.

The last mockup was done before the real run.

The flap symbolizes the belt of the coat.

I had hoped to find the photo of the first serious sample but I’m afraid I deleted it. It looked shocking and I dug my head in the sand. But I’ve learnt it always is like that. Imagination takes some time to correspond with reality. Though, I have truly fallen in love with the colours we’ve settled in for.

The new collection is available in our internet shop to date. The clutch bag and the purse will be posted in the shop soonest. If you can’t wait. Please contact me anytime.

Trench Coating !

Below is a little mood board I put together for my 2012 collection.

I fell in love with the detail of the trench coat in the middle of the picture and thought it would be a great shape for outside pockets of a bag.

Took it from there and started trench coating !
