The Underground Chic Fashionable {Recycled} Handbags

Have you ever considered purchasing a handbag that’s created from recycled plastic bottles?  Well if you’re fashionista that’s environmentally conscious this is the post for you!  The Underground Chic handbag collection’s one of the hotest “birkin inspired” handbags that any girl can have for a reasonable price.

According to the site, “at first glance, the bag appears to be real leather with metal hardware” but in actuality this polyester based handbag’s made from recycled plastic bottles.  Talk about innovative and eco-friendly!

The Underground Chic handbags also come in a variety of “girly” colors such as pink, citrus, green, orange crush, and nautical blue.  And if you’re searching for a fashionable cosmetics bag (to keep all of your favorite lipsticks) you can find one on the site as well.

I was super excited to receive my Nautical Blue (gifted) handbag.  In my opinion, this color will look great for the upcoming season (fall) and coordinate with several items in my wardrobe.

Again, prices for this collection are reasonable (so you can’t go wrong) and don’t forget to join their newsletter for brand updates.  Happy shopping fashionistas from SLF!

Nina Ricci Presents “LA RUE” with “GIF Art”

Nina Ricci launches “LA RUE” with “GIF Art”

 

To mark the launch of the “La Rue” handbag, Nina Ricci is pleased to announce its collaboration with English artist Jo Ratcliffe and the creation of its first “GIF Art” campaign.

For the Autumn-Winter 2012-13 collection, artistic director Peter Copping created the “La Rue” handbag, a freestyle interpretation of the bowling bag, recast in a sophisticated way. Its slightly rounded volume and gathered details accentuate its unique shape and lend it a chic, relaxed elegance.

 

 

Created with a multi-faceted clientele in mind, the “La Rue” bag reflects a certain urban lifestyle blended with the feminine refinement that is the house’s hallmark.

The campaign highlights this by showing the bag in four symbolic Parisian settings that by turns illustrate its character. Set within the Promenade Plantée – Paris’s answer to the High Line – it appears soft and romantic, while on the Rue de Verneuil on the Left Bank, it is bewitching and bold.

Chic and charismatic on the Avenue Montaigne, it becomes mysterious and elusive at Pigalle.

English artist Jo Ratcliffe lends her signature contemporary, arty touch to these images by reworking them as a serious of modern, poetic illustrations. While remaining faithful to the universe of the Maison Nina Ricci, she infuses them with a communication savvy that is native to the digital world and helps to being this truly original project to life.

GIF Art is to the internet what Street Art is to the STREET. A true artistic crossroads between photography and illustration, these four animated GIFs embody the perpetual movement of the street, of life, of fashion and the pioneering talent of the house.
