First details of the New Sherene Melinda Handbag Collection
As trees gain their leaves, the sun sets later and the streets of London are filled with the sights of quickly melting ice cream, we know that summer has truly arrived. In the fashion world, the change in seasons doesn’t just welcome a change in what people do but also what they wear. It’s a ticking clock for designers to have their new collections ready.
Creative Director, Sherene, has been hard at work over the past six months sketching, measuring, sculpting and preparing for the release of the latest collection here at SHERENE MELINDA. With final stitches being sewn we thought it was time to let you, our faithful customers and fans, know of its upcoming arrival and give you a little teaser on what to expect.
We are happy to announce the offering of our first-ever unisex bag, a cosmopolitan rucksack with a clean silhouette that will compliment the body shape of both genders. This also includes an optional laptop case.
Next in the line-up is a conventional satchel with a leather top handle as well as a detachable silver chain and leather strap that allows this compact handbag to be worn over the shoulder or held in the hand.
The third addition is a unique square-shaped handbag using unstructured and supple leather, providing ample room to store even larger belongings such as a camera or tablet. The ‘box bag’ is also offered with a detachable silver chain and leather strap, making it an ideal accessory for day-to-day wear or for travel.
The New Collection is made with signature authentic springbok hair-on-hide and offered in a range of sixteen seasonal colours; including new shades of green and grey along with classic red, orange, yellow, olive, lime, taupe, pink, baby blue, purple, royal blue, burgundy and neutrals. All handbags are fully leather lined with the softest natural ecofriendly leather.

2020 has certainly had many ups and downs so far. Focusing on the positive, one of our exciting developments this year has been the introduction of our Studded Collection.
In the first few days of lockdown it really started to dawn on me - the true enormity of what was happening, in a way that I would wake up and the first thing I would think is about this situation and how my usually busy day ahead is so altered from normal.
Sherene Melinda was delighted to be invited as one of the nine designers that were part of the Jaded Life Collective Official British Fashion CouncilLondon Fashion Week event at The Mandrake Hotel, London on February 16th 2020.

MATERIALS
Our handbags are made using leather both inside and out. We use nappa leather on the outside and the handbags are lined with an ecofriendly (using no harmful chemicals or dyes) natural pigskin leather in the inside. This helps to make our bags incredibly soft and luxurious but also durable and longlasting.
For our signature feature that we have become known for we use genuine Springbok hair-on-hide leather. The ethical source of the materials is very important to us. Springbok are classified as non-cites (which means there is no threat to the survival of the species) and the animals live freely in abundance in South Africa. The sustainability of the species is carefully managed and the population is culled to keep the ecosystem in balance. The local food industry benefits from this and the by-products are also utilised in decorative ways in interiors, furniture and fashion.
All our leathers are a by-product of the food-industry.
We use only high quality YKK zips and silver-coloured metal chains, studs and handbag hardware.
All our handbags are offered with a white cotton dustbag to keep them clean.
