Bags in film: The Spirit of Adventure.

11/26/2012 08:24:00 pm

The Sheltering Sky- Bernardo Bertolucci Pans Labyrinth- Guillermo Del Toro Moonrise Kingdom- Wes Anderson The Darjeeling Limited- Wes Anderson. Costume plays such an important part in films, a character can be given meaning by their attire, but what of a character's bag? It is something I have been thinking about, as I love the subtleties of what a person may (or may not)...

A Girls World.

11/09/2012 05:32:00 pm

by Will McBride Sofia Coppola Los Angeles, 1949 by Ida Wyman Last Friday I went to the V'n'A Museum to see Bella Freud in conversation with Hadley Freeman. Such an engaging interviewee, Bella told the story of her love of men's clothing, but most specifically masculine clothing, as worn by women. In a world with increasingly complex approaches to design, Freud remains true...

Our newest stockist...

11/05/2012 11:53:00 am

Late last week I found myself on Marylebone Lane and popped into one of M.Hulot's newest stockists- the awarding winning KJ's Laundry. Founded in 2006 by Jane Ellis and Kate Allden, the store is perfectly curated with hard to find labels, but also wardrobe basics with a lux edge. As if in responses to the cold weather, the shop's atmosphere is cosy and...

Ode to Red

10/25/2012 08:09:00 pm

M.Hulot SS13- Strapped Howe and Cona Bowling bag It has occurred to me that despite my love of all colours tonal, earthy and subtle, I have a huge obssession with the most bold and subversive of them all- RED! Collecting inspiration I cannot help being drawn to this hue; whether it's tomato, coral, pillar box or burgundy it is just so joyful and...

M.Hulot Prussia Satchel on Minna May blog. Minna May's hand drawn type. Minna So Tumbr I just discovered the M.Hulot Prussia satchel was featured on illustrator Minna May's blog at the end of September. Not only is it great seeing our product as part of a selection, and how an individual perceives and curates the style, but it also opens us up to...

Up and Away.

10/12/2012 12:46:00 pm

The Red Balloon (Film Still) Research for AW13 is well under way, and loosing myself in all the wonderful images available at my finger tips, I came across this striking picture and fell in love! The stark contrast of the balloons alongside the ageing cityscape encapsulates two sides of M.Hulot: earthy, natural, antiqued versus bright, clean and modern. Further researching the image I...

Leather Letch!

10/09/2012 04:54:00 pm

Here at M.Hulot, we're about to start one of our favourite parts of the design and development process; sourcing and selecting the leathers. The romantic side of me would love to travel to the international leather fairs or even better, direct to the tannery, but as a small brand we tend to work closely with UK agents for our Italian and Turkish...

At the SS13 M.Hulot stand Capsule, Paris The brand new Cona bowling bags Nova flap Shoppers and Strapped Howe bags Exhibiting at a trade show can be a daunting prospect; so much love and attention has gone into each range that exposing yourself to fashion buyers and press is as nerve racking as it is exciting.

A blog to fall in love with...

9/19/2012 04:29:00 pm

One of my favourite blogs is www.ruthannacoss.com It's a beautifully curated site featuring the stylists own photographic and styling work, as well as carefully selected posts, all in keeping with Ruth's entirely unique take on the world around her. Ruth is based in Dublin, and even as a Londoner looking in, I cannot help but feel envious of her exploration of Ireland and...

Made in (northern) England

9/19/2012 01:05:00 pm

Although far from London, when I found a factory in greater Manchester willing and able to make my bags and leather goods, I was over the moon. For part of my childhood I lived in Warrington, so just the idea of journeys up North was enough to fill me with excitable nostalgia. Now manufacturing in England is no mean feat, but to find...
