Leather Collection launches the Trend Collection

Look down at your feet and it says everything about you. Karl Lagerfeld, passionate designer very seriously believes that ‘Personality begins where comparison ends’, which means, accessories do ‘make’ a woman (or man for that matter). Once again Leather Collection focuses on bringing international trends to Sri Lanka. Inspired by ‘Shoe Icons’, those who have proven beyond doubt that shoes and accessories shape the individuality and style prowess in everyone. Leather Collection places shoes and accessories on that lofty pedestal, with a brand new range of embellished and strappy minimal sandals as well as trendy cork wedges and block heels in a palette of muted, bright and even metallic hues as well as in snake prints, woven leather and suede, some embellished in handcrafted beads for a touch of the esoteric.

Taking Christian Louboutin’s axiom of, ‘A woman can carry a bag but it’s the shoes that carry the woman’, to heart, LC’s new Collection introduces a range of fashionable bags that surely give ladies an excuse to carry either the latest snakeskin bags teamed up with snakeskin sandals, stylish patent leather structured bags or structured totes with swanky cork wedges or even fringed and woven shoppers with fun beaded sandals, surely giving that feeling of being on top of the world. Dressing for work need not be boring either, team up a structured bag with any of these amazing shoes and ‘Walk like you have three men walking behind you’, as famed designer Oscar De La Renta said. Simply combine the unique elegance of Kokkomo handcrafted ethnic jewellery or trendsetting clutches or handbags for an evening out and ladies, you are ready to make a bold fashion statement that is simply about being you.

Today’s trendy man doesn’t like sitting around watching only the ladies being featured in the style files. Today’s man enjoys the prominent spot under the fashion spotlight and LC’s Summer Collection introduces debonair buck shoes and natty woven pointed loafers with a range of jaunty cross body slings, messengers, structured bags and Asia’s prominent leathercraft brand Hidesign’s cross body bags, satchels, wallets and belts to add that dash of oomph to the ‘Metrosexual’ man about town. Indulge in the new gift range where some unique fashionable gift options hit the shelves; Hidesign key chains, passport and credit card holders present ideal gift choices for those who value quality leather craftsmanship or maybe, pay a compliment to a special someone by presenting the unique combination of a beautifully packaged gift pack, teaming a set comprising a wallet and belt. When Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw boldly stated that, “Men are like shoes; we love the ones that hurt us the most,” she definitely did not have an inkling that the romantic interludes women have with shoes, really need not have that dose of ‘hurt’. She was after all a woman of the world, knowing full well how irresistible women’s feet are, when ensconced in beautiful shoes. The love affair can now certainly be even more passionate as LC adds an extensive array of shoe care products including gel pads, giving a new meaning to walking on air, no matter how high your heels. Leather Collection Managing Director Niloufer Anverally added, “This new collection is a true celebration of International Trends. The latest in international accessory trends of Spring Summer 2014 seen on the European catwalks are now available in-store. We have included a wide array of styles that embody the trends projected by Jimmy Choo, Ralph Lauren and Tory Burch to name a few.”
