Diane Von Furstenberg - The Brand

American-Belgian brand Diane Von Furstenberg has become unanimous with luxury and passion over the past few decades. Charismatic and ambitious, Diane, has designed pieces which promote and independence and strength for woman, illustrated by the striking designs and bold colours.

History

After marrying into German royalty in the early Seventies, Belgian born Diane decided she wanted a career of her own – she chose fashion. She found success in 1973 after her introduction of the jersey wrap dress which sold 5 million copies worldwide. Despite branching out to footwear, accessories and handbags her motto has remained “Feel like a woman – wear a dress”.

Style

Although Diane has clearly had a lot of fun creating her designs, they’re surprisingly practical and roomy. Her Bucket bags are great for busy women who need plenty of space – busy mums, the multi-taskers and the students – they even have a choice of straps. Bestseller, the Harper comes in a variety of fun colours. Its elegant detail, such as chain and clasp make it a great laid-back choice for a spontaneous dinner out.

Perfect For

Women who like their bags to show a bit of personality. There’s no escaping the character hidden in each of these designs, from the tassels to the abstract stripes they go against everything basic.
