A love for the flora of Southern Africa, coupled with impeccable British craftsmanship has resulted in a luxury range of handbags for the modern stylish woman who appreciates the value of timeless elegance. British based accessories label Loren Taylor embodies authentic, detailed and versatile luxury; qualities portrayed throughout a range of beautifully crafted handbags and hand luggage. Established in 2008 by sisters Loren and Kelly Taylor who grew up in South Africa, the bags are designed with the urban traveller in mind; inspired by the sisters’ love of travelling and the need to pack light whilst still remaining stylish.

For me it is the unusual palette of vivid complementary colours that singles out the current collection. A collection that takes its inspiration from the vivid colours of indigenous Southern African Flora, most notably the ‘Strelizia’; one of the sisters’ favourite flowers. A distinct flower comprised of bold purple, orange, yellow and white plumes highlighted with a hint of fuchsia, the Sterlizia is also known as the ‘Bird of Paradise’; and proved an ideal colour palette for the collection.

Designed to become timeless classics that can be passed down through the generations without losing their appeal, the luxurious line of bags are versatile and durable lending themselves to the demands of work and play that make up current busy lifestyles. In a deliberate attempt to bypass mass production, all Loren Taylor bags are handcrafted and produced in limited numbers; paying attention to every last detail and ensuring exclusivity. High-quality natural leathers are hand-cut and hand-stitched in the UK by skilled master craftsmen.
