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


RosesWe 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.
