Yana Evans of YANA Handbags and her talented staff had any number of the usual events they could have planned for this year’s Fashion Week; a fashion show, a party, a pop-up store or a press event. They decided to do it all in one fun filled night. YANA Handbags took over Fat Baby lounge on 112 Rivington Street in New York on Tuesday September 14, 2010 and turned it into their den of fashion.
Upon entering you were greeted by the sweet taste of cupcakes sponsored by Cravingforcupcakes.com and Veev Spirits sponsored drinks to one side of you. On the other a display of the sumptuous accessories that are, YANA Handbags. Yana and her team decided the best time to sell their product is when their loyal customers and fans come out to party, meet the designer, and ask questions first hand about Yana’s beautiful bag collection. I couldn’t agree more. Male models served cupcakes and wore the same fanny-pack inspired purse as the designer herself, hypnotizing the crowd with smiles and photo ops while the designer and her team made the rounds to make sure the patrons of her beautiful bags were carefully attended. While DJ Double-O from Kidz in the Hall handled the sick beats.
When you see a full range of Yana’s work you begin to understand the talent that she possesses.
Yana has an unmistakable ability to make bags made with varying levels of intricacy, size, color and vibrancy mesh coherently together. Using her eclectic style she takes you to the past while simultaneously pulling you into the future in almost every bag. Each bag seems familiar but you know you’ve never really seen it done Yana’s way. These bags are worth a look up close and that is exactly what Yana and her team provided and threw a marvelous shin-dig in the process. If it was your first time meeting Ms. Yana and her bags, I bet you think it was well worth the wait!

A while back we did a post on de*nada, looking forward to their Autumn/Winter 2010 Lookbook. Well, here it is, and it exceeds expectations. Take a peek below for more beautiful pics and where to purchase.
During my travels through South Australia I’ve come across a line of handmade jewellery, Urban Turtle, that I’ve found unique and a bit nostalgic of the nights my mother would ask me if her necklace went with her shoes before a big night out; I reckon she needed a man’s seal of approval. Urban Turtle with their excellent arrangement of colors and shapes brings me back to the African jewellery most women in my family adorn; it’s a real treat to find this style of neckwear making its way in the land down under.
Although the originator, Ellenor “Ziggy” Day, calls the outback of Broken Hill, NSW her hometown, her jewellery speaks of her desert shrubs and red dirt landscapes that span for as far as the eye can see. Ellenor’s handmade works of art not only embody the majesty of Australia’s beautiful outback, but can deliver with style capturing an urban essence.
Urban Turtle’s focus will always be on neckwear, but also offers an assortment of ready made accessories such as clutch bags and belts hand picked to compliment Ellenor’s designs.
Keeping in tune with our ever changing environment Urban Turtle has established the junk2funk program whereby anyone with old, forgotten pieces of jewellery can make a donation to Ellenor; giving her the chance to breath life into new works of handmade art. You can find more information about the program here.
Ellenor’s fine neckwear is available from Western Australia to Vancouver, Canada so fear not US, for Urban turtle is ready for overseas delivery. You can purchase and continue to browse more of Urban Turtle at www.UrbanTurtle.com.au .
