Brand Focus: t-bags dresses
When Shadi Askari and Su-Lyn Tay met at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles in 2001, they recognised they shared a love for vintage fabrics and modern silhouettes that wasn't then catered for by the market. It wasn’t an unreasonable demand, they thought, so why not set about creating it for themselves? As Shadi notes, “We create clothes that we wish we had hanging in our closets.”
The pair made their first line of luxury handbags out of vintage fabrics, suede and upholstery while still in Higher Education. They were an instant hit with the boutiques in the city and from there, the range grew into the t-bags brand we see today, selling some of the most gorgeous and innovative day and evening-wear for women that money can buy.
t-bags dresses don’t just meld contradictions; they embrace them. Adopting the psychedelic colour palette of the 60s and updating it for the 21st century, t-bags has been a hit with the young and fashionable crowd. And it’s no wonder: bold prints, straight lines and luxurious fabrics, all contained within stylish cuts that accentuate the figure, are bound to be a hit.
Amazingly, t-bags manages to pull off the seemingly impossible feat of being a playful yet sophisticated range. It’s not everyday that the impossible happens in fashion, so make sure you don’t miss this amazing range at Seasons Clothing!
