The Jas M.B. questions can stop…

Last time I talked up Jas M.B.’s collaboration with Simeon Farrar, many commented and emailed enquiring about how to get their mitts on Jas M.B. period.  Despite having an international fanbase, particularly in Japan where Jas M.B. is stocked widely, they still aren’t the easiest bags to buy.  However, unbeknownst to me (and pardon my tardiness if you already know about this), during London Fashion Week in February, Jas M.B. launched an online store.  I have already harped on about the reasons why Jas M.B. bags are the way to go but basically, they are beautiful bags that don’t have a million bells and whistles on them (not that there is nothing wrong with bells and whistles….).  Despite their deceptively unfussy design, you can still pick out certain Jas M.B. quirks which makes them more interesting than a similarly good quality leather bag from say Mulberry. 

The store is also impressive in that people worldwide can have a similar selection to the store on Ganton Street in London.  Once you have narrowed your choices down to a style of bag (it’s painfully difficult…. they all have varying levels of usefulness/loveliness), you can then pick from over 30 leathers that are quite tasty sounding.  I’m not sure how leather finishes can be tasty sounding…. but there you go…’ivory with blue crack, ‘cheese beige’, ‘grease grey’, ‘antique gold’, ‘soft cream’, ‘pull up black’.  Some of their more popular finishes…

Cheese Beige // Grease Brown // Old USA Brown

Teak // White Crack // White Pony

As for me, I’ve been quite in love with this baby blue small shoulder bag.  Yes, a useful big slouchy tote would be practical but I love this for the pure fact that it makes the colour baby blue actually appealing. 

P.S. If you are a Londoner, Jas M.B. are having a Spring Clean Sale at the Ganton Street store.  Click to the right to find out more!
