Emerging Fervour

And we’re so happy as we can now show you her full collection!!

Debs, who’s been writing the diary as well as creating her first line under her label ‘Clements’ has been an extremely busy lady over the last few month and it has been amazing to follow her dream. Looking at the end result, we are chuffed and so so proud of her as each and every bag of her collection is stunning (and no, we’re not just saying this because we’re slightly biased).

Myself, I’m the proud owner of the pony bag, made of midnight blue calf suede, which as soon as I laid eyes on it was mine and it goes pretty much with everything I own.

Since finishing my first collection and pulling together a shoot for my website I was hastily preparing a long trip to Cape Town with my little boy Finn, and in the manic rush I never got round to concluding my diary. So I apologise to any readers about the abrupt end to my blog – Secret Diary of a Handbag Designer.

The shoot for my website went fantastically and resulted in strong images to promote the collection. With thanks to a fantastic team including photographer James Champion, the perfect clothes borrowed from up and coming London designer Natascha Stolle – collections and hair and make up by Allison.

My website can be viewed here: www.deborahclements.com.

The response to the collection was very positive and a lot of interest has been generated. However being away for such a long period has hindered progress, but I’m now ready to pick things up again and get back to the drawing board to begin my next line.
