This year Sherene Smith our designer has launched four new beautiful handbags - one of which has been made especially with the contemporary working woman in mind - the Portfolio Tote Bag.
At Sherene Melinda there is great attention taken to incoporating the functionality and long lasting use of a handbag with up to date style and design features.
The Multiway Bag is just one of the four new handbags that Sherene Melinda launched within the 2019 Collection at the beginning of the year.
Between the 5th to 8th September Sherene Melinda will be exhibiting at The Burghley Horse Trials held in the estate of sixteenth century Burghley House close to Stamford.
The Shopping area is course one of the big attractions of the event. So if you love the country lifestyle or high quality and authentic clothing and accessories, then there will definitely be something there for you to browse.
As we enter the summer months like most uk dwellers we wish for a summer just like last year full of glorious sunshine and a chance to fully enjoy the British countryside!
At SHERENE MELINDA we are now entering another busy period of the year when we travel around the country to enjoy the various events that the countryside has to offer and to meet up with customers old and new
With the new Sherene Melinda 2019 handbag collection now in stock there is a buzz of excitement as our four new designs are now on sale both in shops and online.
One of our favourites (it's hard to choose just one!) is the Hobo.
At Sherene Melinda we are all busy preparing for the launch of the 2019 Collection of ethically sourced Springbok Hair-on-hide handbags.
This collection will include four stunning new designs by Sherene Melinda Smith our Designer and Director at SHERENE MELINDA. Each style has its own specific size and shape and is of course available in a range of beautiful colours.
On Friday 8th March, Women will be celebrated around the worls during International Women's Day.
This is a global day in which recognition is made of the talents and achievements of women from all over the world and in all aspects of society, at the same time promoting gender balance worldwide.
The end of a season and the beginning of the next is always a busy and exciting time at Sherene Melinda as the final touches are made to a whole new creation of designer handbags.
The 2019 Collection is as creative and refined as ever, offering a beautiful range of different sizes and styles incorporating the signature springbok hair-on-hide feature accompanied by soft Italian nappa leather on the outside and soft natural leather on the inside.
The smallest and no doubt the cutest of the SS18 collection is the Lou Lou Pouch - a mini bucket bag.
Dating back to the 1900's the bucket bag originates from the original drawstring pouches for ladies to carry their essentials delicately in this pouch style handbag.
After the release of this collection last summer and an amazing response from both our trade customers in the UK and internationally as well as our online stores we are very happy that our stockists both at home and abroad are enjoying being able to share these new designs with both customers old and new.
Our versatile Sophy Clutch (and Shoulder Bag)
The Sophy Clutch was originally designed in 2016 to both accompany and be a small alternative to the larger styles within the collection.
We have eagerly awaited the release of our new collection of handbags. Our Smith Bag is a classic top-handled tote bag and adds a suitable wow-factor to the work-ready wardrobe of the contemporary woman.
Last summer we were lucky enough to experience the beauty of Calala Island. A tiny idyllic private island in the Caribbean. It was an adventurous experience, an 8 seater plane journey from the capital of Nicargua Managua to Bluefields on the east coast.
SHERENE MELINDA’s latest international trip was to the British Fashion Event in Bilbao.
Described by Creative Director Sherene as 'the world's most perfect working space' the landmark Starrett Lehigh Building, in New York's Chelsea neighbourhood was the setting for yet another successful international show for SHERENE MELINDA.
To promote the launch of the upcoming collection, SHERENE MELINDA attended Scoop in the Summer at London’s Saatchi Gallery from the 16th to the 18th July.
Surely there is nothing more exciting for Sherene Melinda than to have a new collection for trade buyers to view and for customers to look forward to. Having already had excellent shows and reviews in Los Angles and Paris this year it seemed only fitting to find a perfect summer event for London.
Shades of pink, yellow, lime green, apple green and orange were selected for the industry’s biggest catwalks showing this season’s staples. Mixing these bright tones with earthier browns, greys and neutrals set the trend for this summer.
The
New Collection launched online last November with an inspirational focus of universality and a cosmopolitan lifestyle.
The Satchel bag is one of three in the collection and fully embodies the designer’s concept and vision of creating something that will find a place in the varied styles and cultures of international fashion.
In the wake of fashion’s newest season
SHERENE MELINDA have been exhibiting at various international trade shows. After finishing
Premiere Classe in Paris, we set off for the hills of Hollywood and the California Market Centre to exhibit the New Collection in the U.S for the first time.
SHERENE MELINDA travelled to Paris this month in preparation for international trade show Premiere Classe. The prestigious event took place at the symbolic Jardin des Tuileries over four days, attracting some of the fashion industry’s biggest buyers from across the world.
This week Creative Director Sherene answered several questions about the New Collection in the lead up to it’s appearance at international trade shows Premiere Classe in Paris and Source British in Los Angeles.
In the summer of 2015, SHERENE MELINDA attended our first trade show in London. This March we are embarking to the west coast of America to exhibit at the brand new trade show Source British.
The beginning of the year was like the calm before the storm, as we finalised the designs of our
New Collection and prepared ourselves for an eventful summer and rest of the year. We kicked off proceedings with a welcomed invitation to the
Queen’s 90th Birthday, a special perk for exhibiting at The Royal Windsor Horse Show.
The
New Collection at
SHERENE MELINDA is now available for sale on the website and we’ve already received several orders following the highly anticipated release. At SHERENE MELINDA, one of our main goals is to design handbags that are universally appealing and because of this, the New Collection features the brand’s first unisex bag – the
Leather Backpack.
The satchel’s simple shape makes it an ideal accessory for carrying items and this has made it useful throughout history for a variety of purposes. Its generally small shape make it ideal for travelling long distances alongside the comfort of the strap, which can either be worn across the body or over the shoulder.
Being at The Spirit of Christmas Fair last week has got us in the festive mood and with the season of giving approaching we thought it time to share with you five
SHERENE MELINDA handbags that would make for an ideal present.
