New Online Store to check out: NV London Calcutta

NV It’s not always a Deadly Sin.  Introducing NV London Calcutta - a heavenly range of beautifully designed bags and accessories created with sumptious materials including buttersoft buffalo hides and rich hand-spun silks.

Ethically produced in Calcutta, one of India’s most poverty stricken cities, by a ‘not for profit’, World Fair Trade Organisation (IFAT) member manufacturer, NV London Calcutta brings innovative design and high quality production to the ethical accessories fashion fore, filling the gap between the standard, ethical offerings and high fashion.

The diverse collection provides a bag for every woman and, in these times of tightened purse-strings, their signature ‘Coco’ and ‘Virginia’ handbags, give wearers endless opportunities for matching their bag to their mood thanks to interchangeable leather and silk handles – and naturally, both can be separated to provide a timeless, classic handbag and an elegant silk scarf.

The complete range takes women from work – with NV’s stylish ‘Anita’ all leather, or leather and canvas laptop bags, to play via their wonderful ‘Ayesha’ make-up purse, which doubles as a clutch for the evening and features a unique, removable silk tassle.  For the more active owner, there is the ‘Katherine’ canvas and leather, cylindrical yoga/gym bag.  Also included in the range are patterned canvas and ‘Florence’ weekenders, ‘Charlotte’ totes, ‘Oscar’ document cases the casual chic ‘Germaine’ leather satchel.

Founder Naomi Cornelius-Reid says “We are incredibly proud to launch NV London Calcutta’s first Classic Collection.  We’ve worked extremely hard to fuse the best of rising British design talent with fair, sustainable business practice and the promotion of Indian artisan craftsmanship and skills at a price point that won’t break the bank.  Our emphasis is on highest quality materials, fittings and finishing and finding the right partners to work with where we can really make a difference to their employees’ lives while at the same time producing bags and accessories that will excite the buyer long before they know the products’ heritage.  Fashion should be about style first and foremost, but style that comes at no cost to others”.
