The British Fashion Awards took place recently and saw glamorous models, designers, journalists and socialites descend on the Royal Court of Justice in London to toast the cream of the fashion world.
As this was the 25th British Fashion Awards it was a glittering occasion which included a sensational line up of favourite fashionistas such as Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, Claudia Schiffer and Vivienne Westwood and fashion favourites such as John Galliano, Burberry and Dunhill all won awards.
At Handbags and Gladrags we would like to show our appreciation for some of our best selling handbags of the year and toast the designers who had the creativity to turn ideas into must have accessories with our very own fashion awards...
And the award for best work handbag goes to...
Penelope and Parker
Penelope and Parker specialise in crafting handmade stylish leather laptop handbags which look as chic and elegant as any shoulder bag but have the added bonus of being large enough to carry all your office essentials.
Penelope and Parker are experts at mixing practicality with fashion and two of their ranges of laptop handbags have been best sellers at Handbags and Gladrags this year. The Roxy Croc Leather Laptop Handbag and the Lizi Bordeaux Leather Laptop Handbag have been runaway hits as they showcase the brand's ability to encapsulate current handbag trends whilst still creating timeless classics which are perfectly suited to the office.
And the award for best evening handbag goes to...
Aksuona
Aksuona was founded on the philosophy that every handbag should define a woman's personal style and individuality and it is the uniqueness of Aksuona handbags which have made them one of the most popular choices of the year.
Aksuona handbags appeal to girls who prefer a quirky touch to their handbags and are prepared to make a style statement with bold colours, luxurious fabrics and eclectic designs.
The Aksuona Pink Satin and Gold Karma Clutch has been hugely popular this year thanks to the beautiful woven design, sumptuous fabrics and affordable price tag of less than £80. Although currently sold out, new colours are now available in baby pink and silver and white and gold.
And the award for the most practical handbag goes to...
Pink Lining
For almost 10 years now husband and wife team Rufus and Charlotte Pearl have been crafting beautiful handbags designed to make busy mums' lives easier.
These luxury baby changing bags come in a range of styles which feature cute pictures of cupcakes, flowers and tiny prams on the outside pockets and a stunning pink lining on the inside. Three of these baby changing bags have made it into our top sellers of 2009 including the gorgeous Pink Lining Yummy Mummy Bottom of the Garden Bag which proves that Pink Lining are a hit with mums.
