Golden Lane. Label.

Created by previous design consultants for Burberry Prorsum, Londoners Chris Lim and Tibor Matyas launched their women's line Golden Lane in Spring 2013, following the success with their Men's Accessories line Chris and Tibor in 2003 which saw the duo collaborate with the likes of Walter Van Beirendonck, Veronique Branquinho, Juun J ad Romain Kremer. 

Inspiration originating from the architecture and social buzz around London's Barbican and the Golden Lane area is visibly apparent, that along with the Fall 2013 'Beneath the Sea' hinting at the vibrant life of an underwater world, which reflects  a sense of calm that only this environment can exude, creates flawlessness in its entirety.

Encompassing versatility, classicism and functionality, the signature 2-split compartment satchel is their most popular piece and now trademark. With S/S14 being their third season the men are opening up a whole new era for satchels.

Just Female. Label.

Basically the amount of love I have for First Female is CRAZY, so I thought I'd share it with you all in a little feature on my fave chic pieces.

Here are some of what is causing my mouth to drool over at this very moment:

 

All of these are available on their website, and they currently have a sale on some of their other items. I advise you get on it ASAP and grab a bargain, these are investment pieces for sure.

So many outstanding pieces I don't know what to do with myself. Ahhhhhh!
