Fledgling luxury handbag brand set to launch new collection for Christmas – but just what is it that makes DBR stand out from the crowd?
As the saying goes, a woman can never have too many handbags – and the more luxurious, the better. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of stepping out with your latest quality investment for the very first time, and a truly unique piece makes for an even more exciting experience.
But while money is no object for many when it comes to securing quality items, it is not always necessary to part with quite so much cash, and up-and-coming luxury handbag brand, DBR Bags, is a shining example of why.
Combining the coveted on-trend designs seen on the catwalks of LFW with the high-quality craftsmanship you’d associate with renowned, high-profile designers, DBR bags are topping fashionista wishlists across the country, but at prices less eye-watering than your typical designer must-have, stylish women with a penchant for eye-catching accessories need look no further for their next big ‘fling’.
Designed right here in Britain, the brand’s beautiful handbags are ethically produced with great attention to detail, and the utmost respect to the environment. And, crafted with the finest Italian leather, it would be impossible for one not to catch your eye.
It’s an exciting time for the fledgling brand, with a stunning Christmas collection in the pipeline and a pop-up store set to run throughout the festive season in Glasgow with partner, fashion store Wear Eponymous.
Founded just this year by creative designer Diana Rennie, the British luxury women’s leather handbag brand is already making waves in the fashion world, climbing its way to the dizzying heights of handbag holy grail – and with no signs of slowing down any time soon, the brand continues to go from strength to strength. For the stylish, cosmopolitan and socially conscious woman, temptation is too much to bear, with DBR bags flying off the shelves at record speed for a brand so young in its journey.
If the first collection is anything to go by, then DBR’s Christmas offerings are set to be something very special indeed. Featuring bold colours, unique designs and the fashion-forward details that one would expect of an esteemed designer, each bag is adorned with on-trend tassels, floral motifs and chains – making for a range of stand-out pieces that any woman would be proud to wear on her arm. Contemporary and modern, with a functional and practical edge, each bag is made in the smallest of numbers – so those who like to stand out from the crowd with minimal fear of being matched or copied are simultaneously safe and stylish.
An eclectic mix of aesthetics, the capsule range includes shoulder and tote bags ideal for work, with hobo and backpack designs to complete a casual outfit and clutches with detachable straps for day to night.
But, we have to ask. Just what is it about DBR that has got the fashion set feeling a little hot under the collar?
For starters, Diana says that her range of beautiful bags is perfect for a variety of occasions, and we certainly can’t argue with that.
“The strong and bold feel of our designs are ideal for adding a stylish touch to any outfit, perfect for heading to the office on a Monday morning and transitioning to the bar on Friday evening,” she explained.
But it’s the brand’s ethos – driven by core values of elegance, quality and integrity – that gives it an extra dimension, and makes it a breath of fresh air compared to many esteemed competitors.
“Our designs are trend-led and stylish. As we consider our handbags to be more than just an accessory, we’ve focused not only on crafting luxurious items, but also being mindful of cost, sustainability and the environment,” Diana continues.
With more than half of UK shoppers now taking a company’s ethical decisions into account when choosing where to spend their hard-earned cash, it has never been important for designers to take a closer look at environmental impact – and it is clear that DBR is gaining a legion of loyal fans for its willingness to do so.
Diana says: “Our bags combine all of these aspects, and that’s why our motto is ‘Your handbag, your perfect companion’.”
