Emerging Fervour

Sushi? Slippery little f****rs? Or handbags?

Well, we think handbags of course!! This might be a bit mean as we’re showing you bags you can’t get your hands on until next Spring/Summer 2010, but they are just too pretty to be tucked away until next year.

These are the creation of Heidi Mottram, a graduate from St Martin’s who’s worked for Vivienne Westwood and Matthew Williamson before she became a specialist in eel skin as a textile.

Her new collection is a celebration of the beautiful eel skin material. The stunning bags and purses show off her unique techniques and with its bright colours they will be a must have!

Choose between bright coral, teal, mustard, rich purple, deep grey and marron, or get one of each. They make me feel like a kid in a candy store!

If you can’t wait, you can purchased some designs at the Hidden Art Pop Up Shop as part of The Dock which takes place during the London Design Festival, 21st – 27th September 2009.
