How incredibly chic are these Tanner Kroelle bags and clutches? I love mixing metallics, silver and bronze provide a modern contrast to exotic python skin. The heels are also sleek and sexy compared to all the chunky platform we’ve been seeing. Manuela Morin (of Bottega Veneta fame in the ‘90s) was appointed Tanner Krolle’s latest creative director last December and the partnership is proving to be a smashing success. Tanner Kroelle was originally founded in London in 1856 to create luxury leather trunks designed specifically for travel on ships and trains, the brand expanded its offerings 10 years ago to include small leather goods, handbags, and women’s shoes. Not surprisingly, handbags now comprising 75% of sales. In the first complete collection, for a/w ”07-08, Morin focused on Tanner Krolle’s heritage as a luggage brand, while introducing modern ideas of exaggerated proportion, mixed material textures, and day-to-day functionality. The Nomad range, in particular, has strong links to luggage lines of the past, with the brand’s signature luggage lock used as a closure on all pieces for men and women. The polished style of Tanner Kroelle will make the brand a hit with global fashion trotters. To purchase, call London Boutique: 5 Sloane Street Knightsbridge,Tel: 020 7823 1688
