HUNT OF THE WEEK 19.11.14

HELLO THERE AND WELCOME BACK TO HUNT OF THE WEEK!

MY HUNT HAS TAKEN ME TO THREE OF MY FAVOURITE HIGH STREET BRANDS, PRIMARK, RIVER ISLAND AND TOPSHOP. MY HUNT IS GOING TO FOCUS ON FAUX FUR ACCESSORIES THAT I'VE FOUND ON THE HIGH STREET.
FAUX FUR HAS BEEN EMERGING RECENTLY IN THE HIGH STREET BRANDS AND WHETHER ITS  A FURRY STOLE OR THE FAMOUS TOPSHOP ROLL CLUTCH, FAUX FUR IS DEFINITELY HERE FOR THE WINTER AND I AM VERY EXCITED.

I WANTED TO START OF WITH A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE FUR STOLES AND ALL OF THESE ARE UNDER £30 WHICH I THINK IS A BARGAIN!

I FIRST SAW THIS STOLE AT THE COMPANY BSHS EVENT AND WAS OBSESSED, THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW ME WON'T KNOW I HAVE A THING FOR THE COLOUR BLACK AND I LOVE A STOLE

SO THIS FOR ME WAS A COMPLETE STEAL, IT WOULD LOOK PERFECT WITH A BLACK LEATHER JACKET OR AN OVERSIZED COAT.

PRIMARK | LIMITED EDITION STOLE | £10

AND FOR THOSE WHO DON'T JUST WANT A BLACK AND WHITE STOLE, THIS ONE FROM RIVER ISLAND IS IDEAL.

RIVER ISLAND | CREAM COLOUR BLOCK FAUX FUR TIPPET | £25

AND FOR THOSE THAT WANT A SLIGHTLY LONGER STOLE, TOPSHOP THROWS UP THIS LONG STOLE.

TOPSHOP | FAUX FOX FUR LONG STOLE | £28

RIVER ISLAND HAVE A COLLECTION OF FUR POM POMS REASONABLY PRICED AT £6, THESE ARE PERFECT FOR THOSE WHO DON'T WANT TO PAY HUNDREDS OF POUNDS FOR A BAG CHARM AND STILL WANT TO BE ON TREND.

RIVER ISLAND | PINK FAUX FUR POM POM KEYRING |£6

AND MY FAVOURITE OF ALL OF THE ACCESSORIES IS THE FUR CLUTCH BAGS, I LOVE THE OVERSIZED CLUTCH AND I THINK ANY FAUX FUR CLUTCH WOULD BE A PERFECT PARTNER TO A WINTER OUTFIT. I KNOW I'LL BE TAKING MINE WITH ME TO PARIS IN DECEMBER !

TOPSHOP | FAUX FUR ROLL TOP CLUTCH | £32

TOPSHOP RELEASED THESE ROLL TOP CLUTCHES IN A VARIETY OF COLOURS, THEY WERE SO POPULAR THAT THEY WERE OUT OF STOCK FOR WEEKS BUT THE BLACK AND THE PINK ARE NOW BACK IN STOCK ON THE WEBSITE.

THESE CLUTCHES ARE HUGE! IT'S LITERALLY LIKE A BLACK HOLE IN HERE BUT THIS IS HONESTLY THE BEST THING I'VE EVER BROUGHT! TOPSHOP HAVE MET THE OVERSIZED CLUTCH TREND VERY WELL WITH THESE ROLL TOP CLUTCHES.

                                                 
                                                END

TO ACCOMPANY THESE LOVELY PIECES IS THE ULTIMATE MUST HAVE – A STUDDED BLACK LEATHER BUCKET BAG THAT OOZES DRAMATIC EDGINESS. 

FROM RIVER ISLAND, MY EYE CAUGHT SIGHT OF A BEAUTIFUL STRUCTURED, ONYX BLUE BLAZER ADORNED IN WHITE FLORAL PRINT.  THIS PIECE WOULD CERTAINLY ADD A HINT OF GLAMOUR TO A CLASSICALLY TAILORED, BLACK PANT AND A MULE HEEL.  

BRITISH BRAND HOBBS PRESENTED A VERY CLASSIC, BRITISH SERIES THIS WEEK FOR THEIR NEW RELEASES, BUT IT WAS AN ITEM IN THEIR ACCESSORIES THAT PUTS THEM ON MY LIST THIS WEEK – A SLEEK PAIR OF LEOPARD PRINT GLOVES.

BAMBIE & BUTLER - A UNIQUE HERITAGE BRAND

Bambie & Butler

Here at Sartorial Hunter we love brands that are not only luxurious but are also wearable pieces, this is when we were introduced to a new UK based luxury brand Bambie & Butler. 

Louise Caplan who founded Bambie & Butler describes the company as a ‘unique heritage brand that is eccentrically British’.  Louise's inspiration for the bambie & butler emerged from dreamy imaginations of childhood memories from inside her grandmother’s rosewood cottage.

Unlike most brands available on the market today, the products that are offered up by LOUISE are all made using traditional techniques within the UK. The designs that have emerged from their recent A/W look are ones of opulence and take on forms of British country characteristics.

although relatively new, bambie & butler have managed to strike the balance as a brand that not only has elements of refined elegance but is also a company that uses sustainable textile development.

Going with the current trend of large North-West clutches, Bambie & Butler have given us a first look at some of their A/W accessories, which envelop this stylE.

BELOW ARE SOME OF THE GORGEOUS CLUTCHES FROM THE COLLECTION.

The ‘madame pompadour’ is a fantastic clutch for those who don’t want to colour block and just want SIMPLICITY. this nude clutch will compliment any outfit.

The ‘madame dauphine’ clutch is a gloriously nude and mushroom coloured bag with a plum shearling panel. this is a fan with both of us here at sartorial hunter! we do love the tones of a good mushroom colour.

next is the amazingly shearling covered ‘mademoiselle de clermot’. this clutch is a textile overload and its perfect for the upcoming cold months we are going to be having (we think it will be gorgeous  with a big coat and a pair of winter boots)

however my favourite clutch has to be ‘Mademoiselle Lisette’, I love the colour variation here and think that this distinct teal panel makes this clutch stand out .I feel this would work well with an evening look or on a date night.

BELOW ARE SOME LOOKS THAT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN FROM THEIR 'MIDNIGHT EXPRESS' CAMPAIGN.

To celebrate this fabulous brand and their launch which is on 14.11.2014 , we are hosting a giveaway of one of their clutches from their midnight express collection, in order to be in for a chance to win this clutch please see the rules below:
