Commenting on the alliance, French and Lawless co founder, Clare Lawless said "Sarah French and I set up our company to provide affordable but highly fashionable accessories, that are both pretty and practical that appeal to Dubai's fashion conscious contingent. We immediately fell in love with Nadia Minkoff's collection and very much identified with her ethos for quality goods that ladies would enjoy and treasure.
Nadia Minkoff is particularly known for her silk purses and clutch bags - the perfect little bag for an elegant night out, or to match a specific outfit. They are updated each season with new colours and clasp designs. The latest bags feature a flower brooch fastening safety lock, the brand emblem, set with coloured crystals. Measuring 26cm wide and 11cm high, this elegant sized bag also has a discreet, fold away chain so it can be worn as a shoulder bag. The collection is available in 12 colours including rose and claret.
When asked, Nadia Minkoff declared that one of her favourite bags is the red patent clutch, which remains perennially popular with fashionistas. Made of super soft patent leather, it gently gathers along the centre of the top flap with a lovely curved body, and pretty wristlet chain and Nadia's signature flower. The clasp is a secure magnet and the interior is lined with suede. Measuring 24cm wide and 15cm high, it can carry a girl's party essentials. It also comes in hot pink and zesty lemon for the summer.
Ensuring that the British theme remains to the fore, Nadia has named her summer range after popular districts of London, such as the "hot white" Knightsbridge Tote, the silvery grey Primrose Hill Grab, the Kensington, Hampstead, Camden, Belgravia and Sloane minis. Her wallets are aptly named after the shopping district Oxford Street and Threatreland's Piccadilly.
