Florian is a luxury bag maker based out of London, UK. What caught my eye, as I read the news of Florian being on Kickstarter for crowd sourced funds, was its tagline – ‘Where Design Meets Practicality’. The firm has a special focus on helping the modern woman stay organized, by designing bags with dedicated compartments for everyday essentials – such as laptop, tablet, phone, stationery, keys etc. They have already had a successful run of their debut collection last year. They are seeking funds for their second season. This doesn’t seem too difficult to achieve, given their efforts to bring practicality and fashion on the same platform.

Now, I get drawn to functionally relevant bags, like iron to magnet. It was eye candy to watch a few samples of their bags, which I reproduce below:

Florian proudly explains that the metal clasp you see on some of their bags, is inspired by old English Castle gates ensuring superior security. In fact, the clasp is named Florian London Gate Catch.

Truly, it is these small stories behind bags that make them interesting, desirable and infused with life. Head straight over to Kickstarter if you want these smart organizers to see the light of the day soon! There are plenty of discounts and gifts for those who do.

Mother to three lovely boys and wife of a banking professional, I am extremely passionate about a host of topics, bags being one of them. For the record, the others are - makeup, travel, photography, in no particular order. Here I share my perspective on the Indian as well as the international bag-scene. As a youngster I would spend most of my money on bags and carry one according to my outfit. It is this love that I express through this blog. Needless to say, any suggestions for improvement, even healthy criticisms, are highly encouraged. Hope you enjoy your stay here and find something useful to help you on your next bag purchase!
