Bright Trends Women's Wear F/W 2012/13

Styling Trends Women‘s Wear F/W 2012/13
Bright Messages
Sippo Fashion Trends

The theme is based on clear shapes, colour contrasts and

geometry. The sixties and seventies spur on the fashion
business with characteristic attitudes such as clear shapes
and bright, clear colours, as well as glamorous Bohemian
reminiscences.
Clear shapes, large surfaces as colourful
contrasts to darks and colour blockings play an important
role in this sense. Silhouettes tend to plain and clean styles.
Flared designs are combined with slim, narrow garments,
alienated classics in layerings of different colours and
proportions
with graphic contrasts, trimmings and striking,
even girlish accessories. Fabrics are compact, such as
double cloth or double jersey, bouclés, masculine singlecoloured
garments combined with nappa leather, striking and
colourful checks, block stripes, geometric prints. The theme
is brightly coloured, in combination with dark and neutral
tones.






Designs
Severe stripes, block stripes, window and tweed checks, dots,
geometric patterns - also as XL shapes, colour blockings, stains,
dog’s tooth pattern, striking, poster-like designs, raw prints,
colourful Prince-of-Wales and Pied de Poule.

Style
Boxy wool coats, wrap-around, double-breasted and stand-up
collars with padded shoulders and wide sleeves. Cabans, oversized
blazers, flared short jackets, plain tunics and mini-dresses
with belts and button facings, mini and balloon skirts, slim stretch
pants. Knits as oversized cardigans, tunics and mini-dresses.


Colours
Ecru, red, orange, green, cobalt blue. As combination colours, the
theme resorts to beige, grey, navy and black.
Fabrics
Noble hairy wool types as reversibles, double cloth, bondings in
colour and materials’ mixtures, stretch and crêpes, dense silk

Canadian Handmade Leather Bags

Handcrafted Leather Bags Made in Canada


Tote and fold-over bag


The right bag can really create the perfect finishing look to any outfit. It can add style, sophistication and even flair to your look. However, finding the right bag to correspond with your outfit can be a challenge. Many local stores offer a very limited selection of sizes, colours and styles, and finding the right bag for your needs can seem close to impossible if you shop at these local stores. Just as you wouldn't wear just any pair of shoes with your outfit, you also should not settle for a less-than-perfect bag.


Tote with contrast detailing



Many people are looking for handmade leather bags rather than some of the machine-made bags found in many local stores. Handcrafted leather bags often have that extra touch of detail and flair that machine-made bags simply do not offer. Further, they may be more durable and higher in quality than other options available.

Ruffle shoulder bag with beads



So where can you find the perfect handmade leather bags for your needs? One option to consider is to look online. When you shop online, you do want to make sure you order from a trusted retailer. You don't want to order a bag that you believe is true leather only to find out later that it is made of imitation leather.


Leather shopper with crocodile stripe


Handcrafted leather bags can most easily be found online in a wide range of colours, styles and sizes. Shopping online can be a more convenient way for you to find the right bag to complete your look, but take time to ensure that the bag you are ordering is made from true leather.

Leather Bags for Cycling

How to Carry Items on Your Bike

Mayfair cross body bag
If you're new to the world of biking, you probably have a lot of enthusiasm. Many new bikers are excited to dive into a fresh and exciting mode of transportation. You may want to take your bike everywhere. But what do you do when you need to carry a bunch of stuff with you? There's plenty of options: baskets, panniers, messenger bags and messenger backpacks. But which is the best one to use?

If you're lucky enough to have a bike with a basket, the answer is easy. You'll be able to carry almost any items with you in your basket. If you need to take something that's especially heavy or delicate, you can secure it in place with some bungee cords.

If your bike doesn't come with a basket, you're going to have to decide for yourself which containers to use. As you decide, consider how much you have to carry, the size and weight of the items and how fragile your items are. You also need to take into account the weight and build of your bike. In general, panniers are good for when you have a lot of items. If your main concern is speed, messenger bags are usually the best bet. If you want to balance between speed and capacity, look into messenger backpacks.

Many people will also want to take aesthetics into consideration. You should be able to find containers that match your personal color preferences. If you're having trouble finding them locally, consider shopping online.
