I managed to speak to Quentin Mackay and he was really interesting and knowledgable about the bags. He went through each collection bag by bag, and I learnt a lot about the bags and the brand.
The bags aren't mass produced items and each one has a unique code to it.The inside lining is red, and like with all the other bags, each one is individually branded and numbered on the inside, making each one unique.
It is evident to see that the bags are madereally well: Quentin Mackay said that he has a passion about quality and hardware, so you can see that no corners were cut when making each bag. You can also the quality of the brass hardware of the Ball and Claw on each bag. The Ball & Claw is either brass with platinum (silver) or brass with gold plating (gold). Quentin explained the process of making the Ball & Chain and it's a very delicate and intricate process: exactly like how jewellery is made.
These bags were all gorgeous. They are large-ish shoulder bags, which is a perfect day bag.
It is clear the Quentin really thought about functionality when designing this. Each bag has a key leash on it, and it can also be used as a safety clasp, so that you can attach it to your arm or chair.
While talking to Mackay, I also learnt a bit about the designing world. One particular skin, called Porosus Crocodile, is very hard to come by and a very small amount gets allocated to designers.
Jeannie Bag

This is a more casual bag, and is quite slouchy, that you can put it on your shoulder.
Again, it's clear to see that Quentin thought about functionality. The strap can be extended, so that you have it as a shoulder bag, and it can also be made a lot smaller, so that it's more of a handbag. I felt the Python one in this collection and it felt really good.
Daphne and Delphine:

Both these bag's are more of an evening style. Both have really light chains, making them easier to carry in the evening. Daphne is very soft leather, made from Sugar Wool.
The other collection is the 'Showgirl' one. I loved how Quentin
The bags also come with a 'B-Tag'. Basically, you take a picture of the tag, on your phone, and it will automatically direct you to the website, giving you more information about the product and the brand.
For more information, check out the website.

P.S. I have two very interesting events next week as well, so yay!
P.P.S: I may be lacking in outfit posts over the coming weeks. from the end of next week, I will officially be out on the campaign trail for a politician in the run up to the Election. That means that I'm going to constantly be in jeans and sneakers.

Wow. I am such a bag person... I'll wear cheap shoes any day if I have to choose between expensive bags and expensive footwear. The Showgirl is fantastic - I have to check out the website now... xoxox.
I love those evening bags and I'm glad that he does not mass-produce his bags. That's good news. xoxo
Gorgeous bags! I appreciate the amount of care and attention he put into these bags, and I love the idea of the claws.
