A lot of brands come with an interesting back story these days; none more so than Torula Bags.
Founded in 2008 by Anglo-French designer Emeline Coates, Torula Bags started small at London’s Portobello Road Market before spreading its metaphorical wings and conquering Parisian boutiques over the next few years. However, the label is coming home, and it’s going to be bigger, better and more British than ever.
To coincide with the “embracing its roots” mantra, the new Torula Bags collections are all named after some of the most well-known and stylish areas in London; Bond Street, Hyde Park, and even world-famous bell tower Big Ben himself – it’s all in there!
So the label really is the best of both worlds as it’s the perfect, multi-cultural blend of Parisian chic meets British finery. Check out five of the hottest handbags currently on the website – oh, and did we mention they’re all on sale, too?
