Shh... Shop's open!

Click here to buy Bell Street bags!
The store isn't exactly fully stocked at the moment but I needed to just stop procrastinating and get it all online so I can start moving some of these bags out of here!




The Convertible Pretzel Bag


The Convertible Pretzel Bag converts from a shoulder bag to a backpack in seconds. No clips, zips, buttons or fussy straps! Perfect for school/uni/college or travelling. Carry it over one shoulder for easy access and wear it as a backpack when you've got a long walk or your bag gets too heavy.

Available in yellow, orange and grey. Blue and green coming soon!

Get your raincoats here!

NOTE (added November 2012): I am no longer doing custom raincoats. I will leave this post up but please be aware that the links to order a raincoat have been taken down. Thanks for your interest!

The raincoat is made from clear PVC with cotton binding on the seams. It fastens with invisible plastic snaps down the front and has two large pockets. The coat is fitted around the shoulders and flares out into an awesome swinging A-line shape!

Please note that the coat in the photo above has wool binding - this gives the seams a raised fuzzy look, while the cotton sits flat. The coat you order will have cotton binding like the coat in the pictures below. This keeps the costs down and is quicker to produce, meaning you'll get your coat faster!

Here's how it works:

1. You email me with your measurements and preferred binding colour. The best way to get the right measurements is to find a (non-stretch) jacket that fits you well, and measure the width of the back between the shoulders. This is the most important measurement for me as this is where the jacket is most fitted. I'll also need your sleeve length and a bust measurement.

2. I'll find the binding in your preferred colour and email you a photo, as well as a time frame for production. This will usually be around two weeks, but may be slightly more or less depending on how many other orders I have and how busy my other job is.

3. You approve the binding colour, confirm your order and pay for the coat with Paypal. The cost of each coat is $110 (Australian dollars) + $15 shipping for Australian customers, or $25 shipping for international orders.

When the coat is finished, I'll take a photo and email you to let you know it's on it's way!

If you have any more questions, feel free to email me or ask in the comments.

Look four

The countdown to the show is ON! It's happening this Wednesday night, and I couldn't be more excited! I just found out the other day that I'm also being included in the Preview Show, which is where the uni selects 16 designers (out of 42 in my year group) to present to the media and fashion industry people. Yay!

I also had my presentation for the business grant on Tuesday, I had to present to a panel of ten people and it went for 45 minutes! I was told to prepare for about 15-20 minutes. I think it went pretty well though. My mum and I took some photos of the clothes the morning before, they're not great as we had rain all of last week so we didn't have much light.

Yes, due to popular demand, the rain coat will be part of the new range! Who wants one?

A more ready-to-wear version of the yellow coat from my grad collection

The panel LOVED this bag. It's a satchel that can be worn as a backpack while you walk to uni or when your shoulder needs a break.

I love this bag too. I have a bit of an obsession with big tote bags but I'm sick of losing little things like my sunnies and phone. Plastic pockets to the rescue!

Look Three

Another look from the collection! I clearly have nothing else to post about. I've been working on some new samples for Bell Street to show in my interview for a business grant on Tuesday!



Yep, that's a pretzel print. The collection is inspired by the Tiergarten in Berlin.

Look Two

The second look from my graduate collection. This collection already feels 'done' to me, even though we haven't even had the show yet!

That may be because I've already launched myself head first into the next collection! I was selected as one of four finalists to receive a business grant from uni, and I need to do a presentation next week so I've been very busy whipping up samples. I should say my mum has been very busy, she's been helping me a lot while I've been working. I'll take some photos when I have more made up.
