Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from the team at Sarah Conners.

This will be our last blog post of the 2011 and we wanted to wish all of our lovely customers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Our greatest thanks go out to all the people that bought a Sarah Conners handbag for the first time as well as all our loyal customers that come back and join us every season. We have had an amazing year of handbags and have been honoured you were all part of it.

Sarah Conners - Python Shoot

The new video for our new Sarah Conners Python range is gorgeous and it was a lot of fun to make. Sally McKinnon not only did an amazing job of styling the shoot but also managed to find time to take some very gorgeous behind the scenes shots - that girl is a talent!

Theodore, the hardest working Chihuahua
in the business

Lots of people have asked where we shot our video, the lovely Cavellero in Melbourne (Collingwood) was the location and along with a fabulous crew is one of the reasons it looks so beautiful.

Sarah Conners - New Video

Sarah Conners is now on film! To coincide with the release of or new Python Range we have made an exciting video with wonderful help of the team at Airbag Productions. Director Aaron Wilson has captured the fun and sophistication of the Sarah Conners customer and with a great deal of wit has showcased our latest range of ever so slightly dangerous accessories.

Thankyou to the whole team involved in what was a very exciting and funny shoot. Sally Mackinnon from Styled by Sally did a great job of pulling together the wardrobe for the shoot, we also have to thank great fashion blogger Cecylia for letting her gorgeous dog Theodore be part of the day. That little dog worked mighty hard.

Colour Capture - Green and Black

We love black for Summer evenings and the combination of verdant greens with black is the perfect mix for an exotic night time look.

Sarah Conners @ The Shoot

This week at Sarah Conners we wanted to show you a little glimpse behind the scenes and share some pictures from one of our photo shoots. This shoot featured the gorgeous Alice and like all our shoots behind the camera was Andrew Wuttke. The end results are so glamorous but poor Alice spent hours standing in odd positions trying to look like she was moving....without actually moving. The things you do for the perfect shot!

Sarah Conners @ What Would Karl Do

You may have heard that we collaborated with Sydney Photographer Lee Oliveira to shoot our newest range - the gorgeous Pythons. Also part of the shoot were some great Melbourne Fashion Bloggers, this week we are featuring Jess from What Would Karl Do.

Styling a photoshoot is always fun, but we really love seeing how people interpret our bags and incorporate them into their own style. That's what this shoot was all about, we showed the bloggers the bags and the girls pulled the rest together. As you can see the results are stunning.

You can read Jess's blog on the shoot here and over the next few weeks we will be sharing images from our two other bloggers Jasmine from Friend in Fashion and Bianca from Il etait un fois.

The List - Summer Clutches

This is the Summer of the Clutch. They are the perfect bag for any occasion and can take you easily from work to cocktails.

A few of our Sarah Conners favourites at the moment are the exotic Jasmine clutch in Python skin, the witty Camille clutch covered in leather buttons and the simply stylish Splash wallet. We've also chosen the ever practical Carmella wallet with wrist strap and and the Racing Clutch.
