Unnurwear Bags

One of my favourite things about being a blogger (after the great people I get to know) is finding out about new companies! We recently discovered Unnurwear Accessories and love how unique its pieces are.

Unnurwear has launched its Spring/Summer 2010 collection. Heres a bit of a background on the compnay, in case you haven't heard of them before: The company was founded in Iceland, by Unnur Fridriksdottir, in 2006, and specialises in gorgeous handbags and accessories.

(This bag is called Embla, and is my favourite from their collection)

The very cool thing about Unnur is that they use sea-leather in the bags...in other words: FISH! In Icelandic, Unnur means 'the waves of the ocean' (what a beautiful meaning!). The fish thats used is farm grown Salmon and African Perch.
Using sea leather means the Unnurwear contributes to sustainable fashion and is very conscious of culture, nature and comfort!

I've never used sea-leather before, but apparently, its just like normal leather, but the more its worn, the better it looks.

(This is the Elisabet bag)

I've had a look at some of the bags online, and gosh, do they look spectactular. The material really does look like its something special!

Anyway, Unnurwear has added 2 new bags to the collection, and both look really cool.

This is the Kristin Bag. Its a tote and is very versatile and looks like you can fit quite a bit in it.





This is the Stina bag. Its a small clutch, that can also double up as a cosmetics bag.

For more information about Unnurwear, check out their Facebook or Twitter.

Also, if you remember, on Friday, we mentioned that Eclectic Eccentricity Jewellery were doing promotions in honour of London Fashion Week. I thought I'd update you on what is going on this week. For today, they've designed an one off necklace, which you get to name! The entry with the best name wins it as well.
Tomorrow, they will be running a poll of some of their pieces. Whichever one recieves the most votes will be discounted by 50% for a day!
And finally, on Wednesday, they will be giving clues that will lead you on a treasure hunt across the website! If you get the answer right, you will be entered in a draw to win a goody bag worth £100!!

Good Luck! I'm definitely taking part in these!!

Finally, Benetton are doing a 'IT'S:MY:TIME' global casting competition. They are looking for 100 finalists to publish in a book they're doing, and you also get to go on a 200 Euro shopping spree if you're one of them. re are also going to be 20 finalists, who will go one to become the face of the brand. They get flown out to New York to take part in Benetton's F/W2010 Campaign. The campaign will be shot by top photographer, Josh Olins.

They're hosting a global casting and are encouraging everyone to enter! They don't want your typical models, but are looking for more creative individuals. They are looking for something different and something real.

All you need to do is create a lookbook and build a profile that expresses your style. Check out the website for more details.
