Anaphora Handbags in Fashion Show at Preshaw House














We took part in a lovely fashion show at the beautiful Preshaw House in Hampshire on Wednesday 25th March.It was a charity fashion show in aid of Canine Partners and Spinal Research, two wonderful charities. All the gorgeous clothing had been provided by Butterfly in Bishops Waltham. It was a well organised and fun event that included a make-up demonstration and even a fantastic demonstration from the dogs that are trained by the people at Canine Partners!!! Anaphora Handbags had a table at the show and also showed a couple of bags in the fashion show, we also donated an Angelica handbag as a prize for the raffle. What was really great was that it was won by one of the ladies who train the dogs!! In the pictures you can see Saffi one of the cute Canine Partners dogs holding our bag! All in all a great evening for us and Anaphora Handbags!!

The Alysha Bag by Anaphora Handbags





This gorgeous bag is called Alysha and is designed by the Anaphora UK Designers.
It is made of superior smooth grain black leather and is lined with a beige soft touch suedette fabric.

We chose the colour beige for our linings due to our research, when we spoke to people about handbag design they told us that bags with dark linings are not always best as you can never find anything in them!!!

The suedette fabric was because we wanted a very luxurious feel when you put you hand into the handbag, it enhances the quality of the Anaphora Handbag range and the comments we have received are really positive.

The bag is padded on the front, this was inspired by the famous Chanel style padding, we have used this principle in our own unique way, the purse that sits comfortably on the front of the bag is held in place by a magnet hidden away in the leather!! If it comes away from the magnet it then hangs freely on the chain.

The metal zips give a chunky look to the bag and add a little bit of bling, along with the gold rings and buckles that attach the handles to the bag, the tassles on the zip pulls give a solid feel when undoing the bag.

All in all this is a real show stopping handbag, I have used one of these when out at fashion events and everytime without fail I have been asked AT LEAST twice where I got my bag from! Obviously I tell everyone who asks that is is one of my very own designs for Anaphora Handbags!!!

This bag is for sale on our website currently for £219.00, go on, treat yourself, you will love this bag for years to come!! www.anaphora.co.uk
