TIPS FOR BUYING HANDBAGS FOR XMAS

A brand new handbag is a great Xmas present for the woman in your life. If you do a teeny bit of research before you buy it can be a perfect, personalised gift. Here are some tips from us at Caidia to help you choose the right handbag this Christmas:

• Take a look at their current handbag and stick to the general style - is it a small or large handbag, a clutch purse or a long-strapped shoulder bag?
• Does she carry her life in her handbag? Some Caidia handbags are deceptively roomy like the saddle bag, the hobo bag or the iron shoulder bag.
• Does she use her bag for work or study? Our shopper bags in steel or olive or any of the messenger bags are ideal.
• Try to stick to the colour range of her current handbag. If she goes for muted colours try the sand swirl handbag or the shoulder latte, if she likes blacks check out the black multi-purpose bag or the black messenger bags but if she is a bit more outgoing and loves a splash of colour she might like the purple shoulder bag, the black snakeskin or the red messenger bag (above right).

Organise a Caidia handbag party to do your Xmas shopping this year.

From all of us at Caidia, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

HANDBAGS FOR THE SPRING RACING CARNIVAL

Spring is here and for us Victorians that means Spring Racing Carnival. When it comes to Spring Racing Carnival fashion the focus is often on fascinators and footwear and the little area of handbags is neglected. Your handbag for such an event not only needs to match your outfit but needs to be roomy enough hold all of the essentials to keep you looking fresh and fabulous throughout the day.

Things to Pop in your Handbag for a Day at the Races

• Make up for little touch-ups - lip gloss, blush, translucent powder or mineral make up for shiny spots
• A pair of flats for the walk home and room in your bag for the heels
• Band aids for blisters
• Safety pins for dress mishaps
• Sunglasses
• Spare hair pins and clips
• Bottle of water
• Mints - for the minty freshness

Some perfect handbags for the races from the Caidia Spring Collection are the Voilet 1011, Shoulder Latte and the Sand Swirl Handbag. With your Caidia handbag stocked with all the essentials you should be ready for any disasters at the races. Now get out there and enjoy the sunshine!

BUTTERSCOTCH KIDS BY CAIDIA

Caidia owner, Kate Skinner, has just launched the exciting new range of kids bags designed by her 8 year old daughter, India Skinner - Butterscotch Kids. Inspired by her Mum's range of designer handbags, India has designed her very own range of messenger bags, tote bags and wallets to suit the fashion conscious 6-12 year old.

After working on the project for nine months including costings, design and selecting fabrics in China, India has produced a fabulous range with practical design features, gorgeous bright colours and bold designs. Take a look at the collection online, the Butterscotch Kids Collection is exclusively available through Caidia.

Recently featured in the media including the Herald Sun, Butterscoth Kids is set to become a popular range for Caidia. Watch this space! India so enjoyed the design process that she is currently working on her next kids bag collection - Buttons and Bows.

MESSENGER BAG BY CAIDIA

A messenger bag was originally used as a mail bag and our trusted posties would ride their bicycles miles delivering our mail. The messenger bag is back and in the Caidia spring summer fashion accessories.

This messenger bag from Caidia comes in a few different colours and the texture of the bag is awesome, super soft with a great patterned fabric on the flap of the bag, the strap is adjustable and really long.

We have oooohed and ahhhhed over this messenger bag and of course tried on every color available. The bag has been made by an Australian label called Caidia. Have you heard of Caidia? If not where have you been? This great Australian designer has been around for 3 years. Caidia's bags are a guilt free purchase, they don't believe in cruelty to animals, so they use only the best of quality synthetic product and their entire range RRP price is under $100.00 Australian dollars.

Caidia's messenger bags are a beautiful mix of absolutely gorgeous colours and printed fabrics. It comes in 2 sizes, the larger bag is big enough to hold a lap top and has a great flap over the top of the bag that comes down over the front to protect your precious treasures inside, and the strap is super long making this bag a great choice for anyone.

I really love this new bag by Caidia and recommend you check out their other spring fashion bags on line.
