Your bag is a statement, Make it a good one. Or at least a little bit witty...




Hand printed and locally produced in East London. 'Its Not Me Its You London' is  INMIY was set up in late 2012 all because Billi needed a new purse and Kitty speaks only in slogans and proverbs.




Their signature style is simple focusing on high quality leather, fine craftsmanship and of course their waggish foil-embossed slogans. Featured here are some of my favourite slogans and colourways but there really is something for everyone (spot the obligatory mean girls reference fans). especially now that the girls have branched out into a multitude of products including pencil (or makeup brush) cases, an "OI! ster" card cover, satchels and a selections of My Pad or Yours? tablet cases.



The ironic slogans such as on the makeup bag below are cheeky, especially on the styles that contrast with a more feminine shape, such as the Go Hard or Go Home coin purse above and the You Can't Airbrush Personality makeup bag, there are also whimsical slogans for you unicorn fanatics (seriously when did unicorns become such a thing?)

Available to buy on their stand alone eshop and at Topshop's London Flagship at Oxford Circus.

This is everything! Versace X Tristan Eaton Street Art



In honour of the opening of the Versace Honolulu store the brand channelled their rich history of artistic print into this piece of public art, conceived by super talented street artist Tristan Eaton. Incorporating signature Versace prints the iconic Medusa logo is realised in the artist's dynamic highly saturated style. The work was executed at Pow! Wow! In the Kaka’ako district of Honolulu, an event that brings over a hundred international and local artist together to create murals and other forms of art. 

Don't know about you but I NEED this print in my life and would love to see it appear as a placement or repeat across tshirts, bags and anything else a print can be applied to, and in this the hey day of printed fashion that could be anything! 

See the time lapse video of Eaton at work here.
