Danier Fall Winter 2010 Collection Preview

What blew me away the most at the Danier Fall preview were the ladies accessories. The quality of the design has drastically improved from what you’d usually see at Danier. This year it’s all about pairing up different textures of leather with the latest trends in handbag design: ruching, pleating, worn-out edges, knots/twists, studs, nickel finishes…

This cross body studded drawstring bag was my favourite of all, I can’t wait until Fall to get my hands on one of these ($149)! Most of the merchandise below will be available at Danier stores in August and September this year.

note the "coin" studs. the stud has evolved :) - $149

Gloomy fall weather does not mean you have to wear gloomy clothes. This year Danier’s bringing back their best selling cross body bag in 7 different colours:

the cross body (messenger) style is definitely sticking around for another season

Their new scarves are all 100% wool, and the prices range from $39 to $49.

The two-tone messenger (below, $129) is really gorgeous as well, something I could also see myself wearing. I love a bag with heavy hardware and exposed zippers.

Notice the little fingerless Ugg-like gloves (I know Danier ppl will hate me for calling them that, lol). They’re coming up with a whole array of these babies, in suede and leather.

Knots, pretty scarves and foldable minis…

I bet this little studded cross body bag will be one of their new bestsellers. Again, notice how the studs have become “quiter”, we’ll be seeing more of a disk/coin shape trend for fall. $149

$149

Menswear

Danier’s classic men’s jackets have gotten a mini facelift this season. You’ll be seeing some cute details, such as leather covered studs (my fave and pictured below), lots of zippers, exposed stitching, cable-knit detachable scarves, rugged textures… They’re also introducing wool coats with leather trims.

This photo doesn’t really do the jacket justice… It’s your classic quilted jacket, except it’s made of soft leather. The flash made it look shiny, but it’s quite matte actually. $499

Love the colour of this bag,  and the worn our edges really give it character. $249

And no, Danier did not pay me to write this review :) I was honestly surprised with how much the brand has evolved, and happy to see that they’re targeting young audience.
