Net-a-porter Hosts Dinner in Honour of Reed Krakoff

Natalie Massenet, Founder and Chairman of Net-a-Porter.com, hosted an exclusive dinner at the Haunch of Venison on Tuesday 19th October 2010 in London in honour of Reed Krakoff, who launched his first collection in February. Surrounded by fashion editors and Net-a-Porter VIPs, Krakoff - who is the talent behind the immense growth of the Coach brand - was toasted by the assembled guests before the dinner of wild thistle and chestnut salad, seabass with buttered spinach or beef with roasted shallots, before a pudding of damson poached blackberries.

Guests spent time trying on Krakoff's covetable bags and were given 15-minute private tours of the galleries on either side of the dining room before dinner.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in Miu Miu Boutiques throughout our region.
