Lie Down I Think I Love You Bags



Lie Down I Think I Love You’s bubble bags have huge, vintage appeal due to the massive scarf bows in beautiful and immaculate silk, tied lovingly around the top of the squashy leather in a rich, bright hue or glossy black. The patterned scarf offers perfect contrast, just below a stunningly sturdy 1950’s style ball clasp. Yet because these accessories are all shiny and new there’s no thrift store stained lining or cracked leather to be found, just a pristine thing of beauty ready for you to wear in, in your own sweet time.

Although perfect for daytime or to add a little feminine chic to office wear, any of the pieces seamlessly saunter into evening with you.

Designer Emily began “Lie down I think I love you” with business partner Lisa three years ago and they have found the marriage of Emily’s love of all things vintage with Lisa’s dislike of the ubiquitous ‘rip-off’ to be a happy one. The two girls formed a desire to create accessories that value longevity and beautiful design with a nostalgic element rather than a disposable fashion ‘moment’.

It goes without saying that these timeless fine leather bags compliment perfectly CollardManson’s French boutique aesthetic but who knew the striking, off kilter colours would compliment the clothing so perfectly as well? Well, we did of course but we don’t like to blow our own trumpet….

Johnny Loves Rosie Jewellery & Hair Accessories

Johnny, how did you know that Rosie was the one for you?
'I hesitate to offer such a trite answer but in it lies the truth: I just knew. I remember saying to myself as I drove home the night I met Rosie, that is the girl I will marry'.

It’s this romantic sentiment, based on the lifetime love affair shared by the creators mother and father whose namesakes Johnny loves Rosie are built upon. It’s the theme which runs through every object they create. Each item is made to make the wearer beautiful in the most classic sense of the word, with screen siren glamour in mind girls are showered in perfect corsages in shades taken straight from nature, accessories which have antique inspired designs and finishes to give an authentic appeal to any satin evening purse or boudoir dressing table.
Elegant hair decorations such as oversized bows or a burst or flowers on a slim gold headband are the epitome of accessories to make the wearer feel special and make the ultimate entrance.

Delicate diamante hairclips in art deco designs, feather shapes and bows insist the mood runs through into everyday chic.
Playful jewellery designs inject a burst of colour, this summer sees flowers in porcelain white or fuschia pink and a collection of Indian filigree inspired charms.

The brand appeals to CollardManson’s girlish tendencies - there’s nothing like a great big flower to add a special something to an summer jacket and their lambskin leather clutches make fantastic presents.
