Mandarina Duck : When Function strikes first

We recently came across this article, by Lertkit, about one of our favourite Italian brands, Mandarina Duck. He suggests that Mandarina Duck products not only look great, but they are practical too. At caseluggage.com we stock Mandarina Duck in the Isi, Tank & Work ranges.

Last year, Lulu Guinness released her debut luggage collection. According to the lady herself, "My luggage line is a collection of chic, feminine suitcases," Guinness reveals. "I especially designed them for women who travel a lot with work. I feel there is a lack of stylish, inexpensive suitcases for women. I felt luggage was a natural progression for me. I have had a long standing relationship with Pelham, who we are partnering with on the luggage – which they are producing to a very high standard. I am delighted to be working with them on the first Lulu Guinness travel collection."

Lulu Guinness teamed up with the award winning director, Vicky Mather to create this fantastic video to celebrate the launch.

 

2012 sees the launch of the Lulu Guinness suitcases in pink and we are pleased to announce that they are available for pre-order now. The cases are available in 3 sizes: a 55cm carry on trolley, a 61cm spinner and a 71cm spinner.

Simply visit caseluggage.com to order your new Lulu Guinness hot pink cases.

Company History
Lulu Guinness OBE famous for exquisite, witty handbags and accessories, launched her company in 1989 and instantly became a “must” in every fashion aficionado’s international address book. Wild praise in the fashion media paved the way for Lulu Guinness shops in London, New York and Tokyo, including her new store that opened in Burlington Arcade this week. Her handbags and travel pieces are sold in Case Luggage Stores including Harvey Nichols Leeds, Bluewater and Guildford. caseluggage.com features her Travel Collection as well as these new shoppers.

Last week we set our sights on 1000 followers on Twitter, and by the middle of the week we had achieved our goal. This week we thought we would aim high, again. We want to hit 2000 followers, and in celebration of this, one of our followers will win a £350 voucher to spend at Case Luggage. That would put a smile on your face wouldn’t it?

Just think what you could spend it on:

• A Lulu Guinness Lips Case

• A Knomo Bloomsbury Trolley

• A Tumi Travel Satchel

 Lulu Guinness, who is famous for her witty, exquisite handbags and accessories, is taking the celebrity world by storm with her iconic lip clutch bags, that many liken to Salvador Dali’s striking "The Mae West Lips Sofa" of 1937.

 

 

Dali, who shocked the world with his wonderful surrealist masterpieces, can in many ways be likened to the British fashion designer as she too has earned herself a reputation of creating unique works of art in the form of fashion.  Since launching her company in 1989, Guinness has gained an OBE, opened stores worldwide in London, New York and Tokyo and has become a favourite with numerous celebrities including Dita von Teese, Helena Bonham Carter, Katy Perry, Florence Welch, Christina Aguilera, Rachel Weisz, Agyness Deyn, and Alexa Chung.

 

If celebrity fans weren’t enough, Lulu’s pieces are now being snapped up by museums! Described as “tomorrow’s treasures”, her work has become permanent fixtures in many museums including the Victoria and Albert Museum London.  There have also been two Sotheby’s exhibitions showing her collections.

Lulu’s work definitely represents her strong personal style and her original ideas are one of the reasons why she is so popular with so many.  Her retro glamour bags would stand out and appear striking in any situation and it is therefore no surprise that so many celebrities choose her bags when stepping out on to the red carpet, in front of the flashing paparazzi.

Perhaps what is most astounding of all, is that Guinness actually never partook in any formal design training, apart from a year’s foundation course at an art school and that it is simply her passion for fashion that has deservedly brought her so much success. Her story of hard work and determination can be an inspiration to any one wanting to succeed in any way of life.

Here at Case, we are certainly fans of Lulu’s work and due to this you can be sure to find her infamous lip clutch bags and many other pieces at our branches in Guildford (handbags), Bluewater and Harvey Nichols Leeds, and with news that Lulu is currently in the process of designing luggage we are all (and you should be too!) very excited to see what will be coming out…watch this space!
