by Christiane's hands ...

Sophisticated, minimal, chic, elegant are some of the strong characteristics of these handmade leather bags made by the Dutch Christiane Smit. She is graduated from the University of Arts in London, she worked with some of the most famous brands in fashion like Comme de Carçons, Armani, Yohji Yamamoto  and currently lives and works in Paros-Greece. 

A rare quality leather, soft like the butter with which she fell in love in one of her trips in Turkey was the reason to create an evening clutch bag and start up her label Petite Maison Christiane.  

All her handbags are hand stitched, as she wants to keep the old traditional way of making handbags combining it  with the minimal and modern look of her handbags.  

Unique bespoke bags for every woman who loves the simplicity and the practicality, for every woman who wants to add a unique touch in her style. Easy to wear them, for day and night, teaming with an ease their lovely colours and designs with every outfit.

Viktor & Rolf Haute Couture F/W 2016

Fashion meets Art once again. Viktor & Rolf presented yesterday their new haute couture collection Fall / Winter 2016 in Paris fashion week and left the fashion world speechless. Inspired from Art, they created hinged frames on dresses, coats, and high-waist skirts. Cracked canvases cloth beautifully the female body. They managed to transform the designs from outfits into artwork. Abstract and very conceptual eye-catching creations. Moving art pieces.  Impressive, masterly and aesthetically nice result.
 ''Art for art's sake'', the pure beauty of Art and Fashion.

Bohemian style!

For those they love freedom, individuality and self expression ... get inspired and try the boho look for this summer!

 Airy maxi dresses and shirts in soft textiles, leather Amazon gladiator sandals and stunning jewels!
