Behind the scenes

I have just returned from beautiful Paris seeing a show and getting inspiration for our new BoBelle London collection which is set to launch very, very soon......

Whilst I was there I couldn't miss the Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs event at Les Arts Decoratifs. What I loved about that exhibition was the attention to detail. For BoBelle's new collection we have spent the equivalent of weeks, if not months, researching, testing, amending and then reverting back to the drawing board to bring our customers the best in British design and manufacturing. I was of course thrilled to see that at LV they too do the same:

The above image is an example of just that; an idea is first thought of, sketches are drawn, patterns are then made, canvas prototypes are produced, leather prototypes are then produced, amendments are made before the final sign off for production. This is a very long process and one that BoBelle is too heavily involved in. Here are a few images of one sample being hand made right here in London for our new collection:

Above: patterns are being cut to scale by hand


Above: finished patterns hang in place


Above: example of the leather that we have selected for this particular bag style - it is oh-so-soft and tailored for this particular style



Above: just one of the many machines used for stitching


Above: our sample is almost ready to be assembled and finished


Above: an up-close shot showing the attention to detail on one of BoBelle London's new handbags


As you can see, an awful lot of detail goes into hand crafting each and every one of our BoBelle London handbags. Only the finest leathers are used, the most exquisite fittings and the most sumptuous finishings. This really is UK handbag manufacturing at its best. Register HERE to be the first to know of our launch.
