The Story Behind the Design: Yellow and White Roses

At Blue Button Bags it is extremely important to us that we use designs which have a meaning and that are a reflection of our own memories and ideas, and therefore it is also important to us to share this inspiration with our customers to provide them with a bit more insight into what we do and why we do it.  This week we’ve decided to share the inspiration behind the yellow and white roses which feature heavily as part of our original collection as well as give you some tips on the best looks to pair our outfits with.

Yellow and White Roses

We didn’t just choose yellow and white roses for their beauty, there is some meaning there too.  Those of you who are familiar with Hampshire will know that these are the Hampshire Roses which reflects the county where our founder Subhashini, is from.  Many Hampshire based businesses had expressed their desire to use the Hampshire rose as its logo, but were rejected because of copyright breaches.  Instead, companies have opted to create their own rose design and now we can see several variations of the same theme at work all over Hampshire, from the single red rose to the double red rose, and even the Tudor Rose, representing our county’s emblem.

As for the colours – yellow roses symbolise new beginnings, and any new business venture is a new beginning.  White on the other hand is fresh and pure, and is reflective of the gorgeous thatched cottages that Hampshire is known for, as well as of course being symbolic of a traditional English country garden.

It is important to us that our designs are meaningful and feature real-life inspiration.  We only make a limited number of items to keep them truly unique, giving you quality assurance and original items that will become a part of your signature style.

Get 2015 Off to a More Organised Start With a Blue Button Bags Organiser

Whether it was your New Year’s Resolution or not, taking steps to be more organised can truly improve both your work and personal life – making sure that you have everything you need and being able to find it easily.  A handbag organiser is one of the best ways to do this, allowing you to have everything you need in one place and move it according to whatever bag you use that day.  No longer will you have to worry about fishing out your essential products and moving them from bag to bag – a bag organiser will easily do the job.  

Blue Button Bags have some great handmade handbag organisers in stock, and we take a look at them in more detail below.

What is a handbag organiser?

Essentially a handbag organiser is a portable storage system for your handbag, allowing you to organise your typical handbag items (phone, keys, makeup, diary, purse, etc) into allocated departments to make them easier to find.  The aim is to eliminate that frustration of scrambling around for your keys and to enable you to move items between your various handbags easier by just having one inset to move.

What are the benefits of a handbag organiser?

Almost too many to name!  A handbag organiser will allow you to keep all of your things in order, making sure that you can find what you’re looking for as well as help to eliminate spills and damage that can be caused by products knocking in to each other (keys and phones for example!). Handbag organisers make the process of changing bags much simpler too so if you usually restrict yourself to using the same handbag day after day because of the inconvenience, this will open you up to many more fashion possibilities by being able to easily change your handbag according to your outfit.
