Hip Products: Violetto bags

Wow, check out the amazing bags from Sydney-based accessories label Violetto, launched in 2007. Combining their experience with surface print design and fashion, the designers Jenny and Julianne have created a range of shoppers, totes, clutches and purses that transport you to far-away places.

Key pieces are created with hand-printed fabrics and soft leather. These pieces are decidedly modern with a generous dash of retro inspiration. Now there's no excuse to reach for those department-store brands, when there is Aussie design as gorgeous as this.

You can find Violetto bags at stockists throughout Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia.
