We love the Lia

At CULTSTATUS we love bags that are versatile, wearable, and have feature details. Alexander Wang’s Lia bag ticks all these boxes.

The Lia offers wearers a chic update to the slouchy messenger bag, with its iconic base stud detailing, adjustable strap and thick pebbled leather.

Brooches! Get the bug…

Brooches are the unsung hero of the accessory world. The versatility of a brooch means it can last for years and is trans-seasonal. Use a brooch to dress up a casual T-shirt, add to a piece of grosgrain ribbon or chain for an instant necklace, or inject an element of fun into a formal coat or gown (as shown below by Blake Lively).

BALENCIAGA FW11 - METALLICS



We have just received a new drop of FW11 bags, the colours are drool worthy and definitely worth of visit to see in person. Poppy, Cylcamen, Blue Lavender and Papryus are all amazing colours.

We also received a very limited number of the new metallics. I think the last time that Balenciaga made these would have been in 2005?! We have the City in the Silver and the Slate - both are beautiful and very versatile colours. They are already a favourite with us at the store.

We will post more combinations of the new colours in the next day.

Alexander McQueen FW11 Scarves

 

I decided to dedicate a post to these beautiful works of art.  They really need to be held up in full span to be fully appreciated, something which is always difficult to present in a store environment. 

Our talented part-time store photographer Tracy Mortimer from FOCO photography , managed to capture most of the prints so that our customers can view them in their entirety.   This was no small feat given that she took them in a room the size of a cupboard and without a studio set up….with just a light, some fishing wire and our basic model work camera.

Here they are, but you also need to come in store to feel and try!
