I love a good classic bag, so I am excited to share with you the launch of our Mimi & Thomas tote bag.

For everyday use, nothing beats a basic tote. You can use it for work or for play. A basic tote can literally take you anywhere. Now you may be thinking to yourself that basic totes are a little boring. Well, sometimes they can be. That is why I like it when they have some minor details that bring a little interest to the playing field. That is exactly what we add, a bit of girly fun with scallop edge and making it with the dual face contrasting cross hatched synthetic leather material that is both durable and waterproof. Introducing the Mimi & Thomas scalloped tote bag!

What isn’t there to love about this tote? It is practical, elegant yet whimsy, comes in 4 great versatile colours and durable. It even has little feet to protect the bottom. It features a hooped hanging bag charm and also a detachable linked flat pouch large enough to store your Iphone 6 and small items.

This large tote has a soft hand feel, it has got a main compartment with bridge magnetic closure. It comes with two flat shoulder handles and can be worn over the shoulder or in the nook of the arm, ideal for the grab and go lifestyle!

This tote is perfect for just about any occasion. It is roomy enough for work, yet not too serious for more casual affairs or take it to the beach with you!

Love,

Janet Carlisle

• Choose a clutch that will match with your shoes and contrast with your dress. If you are wearing a light coloured dress, pick a deep coloured clutch and shoes and vice versa.

• To complement your multi coloured dress, pick one colour from your multi coloured print and accessorize with that chosen color.

• Colour block- A clutch bag is a fantastic way to bring your entire look togeher. It is all about stylish and simplicity. Try with 2 colours: Bold and Neutral (black, silver, beige, nude, white, taupe) 

• Some like it understated elegance, some like it blingy and sparkly. I'd say go with your mood and the occasion.

• Look for details like metal edging or a gem fastening for instant luxe.

• Try something new. Tassles, metallics, exotic animal embossed textures, luxe smooth satin, jewels embellishments, beads, citrus pop, pastel colours, watercolour prints, glitter and crystals and so on. Have fun styling!

• Be realistic. If you carry everything but the kitchen sink, buy a larger style like envelope clutch bag. If you travel light, try a petite box clutch.

• Remember clutches are meant for special occassions like formal events, parties and dinners. Never stuff your clutches and make them bulgy and heavy.

• Finally, as Annie said, You're never fully dressed without a smile!

• Store your clutch bag in a dust bag to keep it in good condition for longer.

• Avoid hand lotion when using a satin clutch- the oils stain the fabric.

• Avoid leaving your clutch laying on grass, flooring, or even on a table where wine or food can easily spill or splash on it.

• Polish the metal frame on the bag with wool in small circular motion then wipe it with dampened cloth to give maximum shine.

• Gently brush the dirt away from glass beads, sequins embellishments with a soft bristled toothbrush.

• To remove stain on fabric, add a few drops of white wine vingar to a clean dampened sponge, dab on the area and rub it gently to remove the stain.

• Allow time for it to air dry day before the event.
