Lulu Guinness AW11 collection goes Parisian Chic

As if  Lulu Guinness bags aren't chic enough, for AW11 the inspiration was from the 1950's Parisian Couture era, reinterpreting the allure of chic feminine fashion, featuring a mix of heavy thread work and elegant applique on soft leather..

This means lots of studs as in their hero bag -the Studded Bow Wanda. Here the studs just give a hard edginess to an adorable large leather bow.

The season's florals go darker and more sensuous with deep red roses as seen on this Leona clutch bag.

And this deep cherry red colour can be seen in patent on the Eliza doll face bag, transforming Eliza from a brunette in to a glamorous and vivacious redhead. The studded detailing is carried out on to her hair bow.

Lulu's lips clutches also get an edgy make over with the studs.. There is the classic black and who doesn't want cherry lips? The bright red quilted lips patent bag of last season smoulders over in to a deeper burgundy colour..

And through the windows of Lulu's black Couture shop bag, can be seen a cherry red dress and leopard print coat.
