Celebrating International Womens Day Friday 8th March 2019

On Friday 8th March, Women will be celebrated around the world 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 first International Women's Day celebration (IWD) was in 1911 when a gathering of over a million people from Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Denmark took place in support of this celebration.

This year's theme is: Better the balance, better the world , #balanceforbetter which is not just a theme to last for the day, but a continuing campaign for the whole year to help towards bringing greater gender-balance to our world.

As well as the many different IWD events that you can attend in support of this, there is also a very creative way to get involved through the IWD Photo Competition. A perfect way to capture the essence and strength of women in their diverse roles and cultures.

However you decide to celebrate this special day - we wish you a wonderful International Womens Day.

Lets get the balance right!

Interviews with Sherene

SHERENE MELINDA is a British South African designer brand that offers vibrant and sophisticated yet playful, ethical luxury handbags. We asked Sherene how she goes about creating her handbag collection. She gave some insight into the process from a business perspective.

The All New Studded Collection

One of our exciting developments this year has been the introduction of our Studded Collection. We have launched the entire collection of our distinctive handbags with a striking studded feature. These designs reflect the exceptional quality of both workmanship and materials that we have become known for, offering something new whilst maintaining the contemporary styling by way of a silver cone shaped stud design feature.

My life during lockdown

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.
