Miche November 2012 Shells Preview! Get Your Winter Style On!

Miche’s newest collection is out – and it is gorgeous!  November 2012 brings sophisticated colors, chic patterns and intricate detailing, wonderful textures and take-charge attitude!November 2012 Miche Demis Tara Kara

We can look forward to 2 new Petite shells, 3 Classics, 7 Demis and 2 Primas with fabulous style!  Plus 1 new Hip Bag, 2 new fashion handles, and 2 wristlet evening bags!  This is quite a wonderful collection!  I will be reviewing each piece in detail over the coming days, so let’s get started!

November 2012 Miche Petite ArianaThe newest Petite for winter is Ariana, in a faux croc texture marbled in lush tones of plum and Merlot purple.  Dashing black strap detailing makes this little beauty big on impact.

Easy to dress up or down, Miche Petite Ariana will look just as great with jeans and a tee-shirt as with a cute little black dress.   I know you think I am crazy – except for those who have tried it! – But Ariana will look fabulous with the Black Rope Fashion HandleClick here to see another Petite sporting the rope handle.  The lovely Miche Petite Ariana will be available to order November 1st.  Please return here to place your order - I so appreciate your business!

November 2012 Miche Classic BeckyJust how fabulous can you be?  This is the question I imagine Jayma, Miche’s designer, asked herself when she created this shell.   Deepest pine green is the backdrop for a fanciful leopard print that makes such a dramatic statement.  Three black buttons and piping set in at a diagonal across the front make the chic factor soar off the charts.

Miche Classic Becky is a spectacular choice for outfits all in black, but also makes a fantastic statement with tans, greens, greys and browns – but also burgundy and purple!  Believe it! :)  Miche Classic Becky will be available to order November 1st.  I hope you will return here to place your order – it means so much to me!

November 2012 Miche Demi TaraMiche Demi Tara is going to become your new go-to bag for any occasion when you want to fit in while standing out.  A wonderful faux lizard texture rolls from copper to bronze nd back again.  Rich brown accents finish the top of the shell and trims the end pockets for a finished flair.

Metallics are once again a hot trend for this season(and when are they not?).  This beauty will be perfect all the year round.  Running errands to ready for the party will be more fashionable and fun with Tara at your side.  Then that night, with you in your cute little red dress and Tara carelessly draped over your shoulder – you two will be a hit!  Miche Demi Tara will be available to order November 1st.  Please return here to place your order through my online store.  Thank you for your business!

November 2012 Miche Demi Monica

‘Tis the Season to celebrate RED, and Miche Demi Monica is all about making every day a party!  Bright, candy apple red in a shiny patent finish and sophisticated marbled texture is just the beginning of the story.  Several pleated tucks create beautiful detailing that captures light and shadows in this super soft faux leather.

For a dressier, more elegant look, there are no end pockets, but a zippered pocket in the back is perfect for storing your cell phone while keeping the lines slim and sleek.  Miche Demi Monica is first available to order November 1st.  Please check back here to place your order.  Thanks so much!

Is this enough to pique your curiosity about the rest of the collection?  I promise – there are some stellar entries still waiting to be introduced to you.  Check back tomorrow to learn more…

Miche Bags ~ So Simple…  So Chic…  So You

Fall 2012 ~ Fun and Fabulous w/ Miche Bags and Accessories!

Miche knows that fashion should make you look and feel your best!  Use it to emphasize your best features and express your personality.  It is not a competition, nor a standard against which to measure yourself.  Fashion can – and should – help you to find and express your best you! August 2012 Miche Demi Joella Jayma

The easiest way to make fashion work for you, rather than the other way around, is to start with pieces you like, that flatter your figure and coloring, and then play with the latest trends through fashion accessories.  August 2012 Miche Demi Myranda

Miche bags are my favorite fashion accessory (big surprise!) for many reasons.  I love the way one purse can quickly and easily be changed to a completely different look and style by changing the outer “shells”.  This enables me to keep my one purse organized – never at a loss for which purse has my checkbook! – but always stay stylish by complimenting or providing an accent to my outfit.  And I love playing with the different looks this one fashion accessory can give me.  Not just the interchangeable shells, but all of the ways to customize by using different handles, incorporating charms, etc.  In this post, we are going to look at some of the many looks of the Cinderella-sized Miche bag – the Demi.

Miche Demi Joella (top) playful and on trend with a bold print and vivid red accents.  We will see a lot of both this fall season.  Miche Demi Myranda (above) is more quietly sophisticated, with marbled faux leather in plum tones and heavy pleating details.  The same purse – totally different looks!

August 2012 Miche Demi Tina Red leopard animal print

Miche Demi Tina (right) perfectly illustrates my point about using your accessories to keep your look fresh and current, while staying true to your own best look and style.  Is there anything more timeless than jeans and a white shirt?  But with red in the patterned heels, at her throat and wrist, and then a bold, beautiful red print bag, there is no doubt this is today’s woman on the go. 

Stylish, now, yet classic.

August 2012 Miche Demi Eve black

Sexy and sophisticated, the glamor of black will never go out of style.  But to keep it looking chic, and flattering to you, be sure it is cut well, and flatters your figure.  If the color appeals to you, but does not complement your skin tones, wear a colorful scarf at your neck to draw the eye to your face, and use the color of the scarf to bring out your own coloring. 

Anything but dull, the lovely Miche Demi Eve in black has wonderful texture from the intricate weaving of black cord and the fabulously soft faux leather.  Gathers at either side of the woven panel give a soft and alluring appeal.

September 2012 Miche Luxe Demi Lincoln

There are times when the sultry look of black fits my mood perfectly, but then there are those when I just revel in luscious color!   Above, the Miche Luxe Demi Lincoln is pure whimsical chic.  Perfect for any season, its color and sparkle add personality and charm to any occasion, and can be dressed down as easily as it dresses up!  Fabulous!

August 2012 Miche Demi Clover Teal

Miche Demi Clover is another wonderful example of rich color and beautiful lines making a perfect accessory for your outfit.  Luscious teal complements pastels and gives a great pop to neutral shades. 

Sometimes, you don’t want to dress up, but you still want to look really terrific.  Select

September 2012 Miche Luxe Demi Annecy

your pieces to be flattering to you, and your accessories can bring out your own sparkle and shine.

Miche Luxe Demi Annecy features lots of fun bling in brass, silver and darkened pewter both on her shell and matching shoulder strap.  Grommets and over-sized studs twinkle and gleam in any light.  We will be seeing a lot of this detailing in Fall 2012 fashions.August 2012 Miche Demo Hope Blue Denim   

There are times when you want an entirely comfortable and casual look and feel.   The denim blue Miche Demi Hope is the perfect accessory for such times.  Trimmed in soft dove grey faux leather, the canvas shell is imprinted in the same pale color words of beauty and cheer.  Laugh.  Faith.  Hope.  Dream.  Love.  Joy.  Courage.  Life.  Proceeds from the sale of every Miche Hope shell go to fight for a cure to cancer.  A new Hope line is released every 3-4 months.

What a cheerful, life-affirming statement to make!September 2012 Miche Luxe Demi Aspen

If you are looking to add a bit of “biker-glam” to your wardrobe, be sure to include it with refined looks as well as with jeans and a jacket.  Miche Luxe Demi Aspen with the brass chain woven into the dark brown shell and matching handles, is edgy and chic.  Terrific with jeans and a biker jacket – try pairing it with a pretty dress for your own personal flair.

How fun that just one purse can have so many very different looks and styles!  That is what I love so much about the Miche bag!  With one well-constructed bag to hold all of your essentials, you just change the outer shells and handles for an unlimited number of looks, colors and styles.  There are 4 styles of base bag to choose from.  Above, we have discussed just the Demi bag.  There are 2 smaller sizes, the Petite and the Classic, and one larger, the Prima.

September 2012 Miche Luxe Classic Sedona

With so much stressing of the limited quantities, some customers, as well as some representatives, have become a bit panicked about the possibility of these shells selling out over the weekend.  Corporate has now assured us they feel they have ordered enough that most of the shells should last the month of September.  They also encourage us to ensure that all parties and orders for these beauties are planned for the first half of the month so no customers are disappointed.

September 2012 Miche Luxe Classic Carmel

So what to make of this somewhat conflicting information?  I no longer think there is a danger of these shells selling out the first weekend.  Corporate had taken a long look at the quick sell outs we have had this year, as well as all of the buzz around the new Luxe line before making this announcement. 

But I would suggest that if you have made your decision – don’t wait to place your order.  And I think it wise to plan to order your favorite(s) before the middle of the month.

I hope you enjoy this little taste of luxury in a handbag and indulge yourself in something that is as special as you are!

I am hearing from many of you how excited you are about the new Miche Luxe shells, and the plans you are making to ensure you will get your favorite(s) before they sell out.  For the ladies in St. Paul MN planning to stake out the opening of your local Starbucks and jump into lattes and online to place your orders – I love the spirit!  For those who are planning to watch round the clock with friends in shifts for the first availability – team work is beautiful!  For those who are placing pre-orders with me, so you are assured of getting your favorites, but keeping your schedule – or late sleep – sane, I admire the practicality!

September 2012 Miche Luxe Classic Carmel

 

Whatever works best for you – that’s what matters.  Just be sure not to let a favorite slip away.  Miche keeps telling us that the supplies are limited for the September 2012 release of their new Luxe line.   I don’t want any of you to be disappointed, and to miss out.  I know the quick sell out of the Demi Ivy and Demi Glory still rankles with many of you, and I understand!  At least we now know in advance that these shells are available only in limited quantites. 

 

** I am accepting pre-orders for the Miche Luxe Shells!  Just contact me to place your pre-order and reserve you favorite shells! **

This just in: Miche corporate believes that they have ordered sufficient quantities for the Luxe line that the shells should last through September.  This is not a guarantee, but they have taken recent short sales into account in placing their orders, and they have released this statement after reviewing all of the excited buzz about the new Luxe line.  Whew!  That’s a relief!   There is even a possibility that if sales are really fast, that they will bring back a few of the most popular shells in early December for the Holiday Season! Yay!!!

To be on the safe side – I will post the links to purchase the Luxe shells just as soon as they are active!  And I will continue to accept pre-orders.  Please return here when you are ready to order.  I so appreciate your business!

Whether you are ordering the Miche Luxe shells, or crave still more of the Fearless line and the new Hope Blue shells, you will be happy to learn that the Classic base bags in black, brown and white will be on sale starting August 31st and all September long!  Miche Classic Base Sale - 30% Discount!

At a 30% discount, they are now available to order for just $24.47!  This is a great opportunity to get a white base to add to your collection for those summer shells you love.  Or to replace the one your sister swiped when you moved up to the Prima.   Or to save a bit on a gift for someone special.  While this sale lasts, you will get a better deal buying a base at the sale price, and then a 2 shell bundle, rather than a Classic Getting Started Bundle of a base and 2 shells.

So often, women who usually carry the Prima appreciate a smaller purse for going out to dinner or the theater, and will also get a Classic.  Especially if one of the new Luxe Classics is calling your name!  If you, too, have wanted to add the Classic to your Miche wardrobe – this is a great time to do so.  Note that the bases in black, brown and white have matching ends and handles, which can compliment different shells.  Above, Miche Classic Kandace gleams on the brown base.  Miche Classic Elizabeth, shown above with the Black Rope Handles is ever so elegant and chic on the black base.  And the Classic Daisy currently on sale for just $14.95 is the perfect bag for spring and summer on the bright white base.  Other Classic shells that are fabulous on the white base are:

The cheerful Miche Classic Nicole, candy striped in bright raspberry and pure white is another natural for the white base.

 

 

Miche May 2012 Classic shell Jasmine

 

 

I was surprised to see how fantastic the lovely Jasmine looks on the white base.  It brings out the white details of her design.  I think this is a terrific bag for any season.

 

 

September 2012 Miche Luxe Prima Quincy

Miche Bags ~ So Simple…  So Chic…  So You!

The Miche Bag Fearless Finale! 2 Items Still to Review!

The latest Miche bag collection – Fearless! - is so extraordinary, and so extensive, I actually missed two items as I was providing you a detailed review!  OOPS!  

In perfect keeping with the colors and detailing of the rest of the Fearless line, Miche has released a new Hip Bag:August 2012 Miche Fearless Mya Hip Bag

The latest Miche Hip Bag, Mya, is the perfect  companion for a busy day on the go – when you are traveling light, and in style!  This is a fully self-contained bag, 8″ x 7.5″ with her long, matching handle providing for both cross-body and over-the-shoulder toting.  Not interchangeable like the rest of the Miche line, Mya is a complete package.   August 2012 Miche Mya Hip Bag closeupShe has 5 card slots and a zippered inner pocket with a far roomier interior than I would have believed!   Mya easily holds my Miche wallet, sunglasses and lipstick with a bit of room to spare. 

Her rich brown faux leather is super soft and finely pebbled in texture.  With a spray of over-sized antique brass rivets, she makes a big impression for so light a bag.  See the close up to the right - bohemian chic!

Miche Hip Bag Mya is available to order!  $34.95

 August 2012 Miche Soft Wallet textured black

And the last item in this largest-ever release in Miche’s history – the Soft Wallet (Textured Black).  I love the quality of the Miche soft wallets.  Excellent construction and chic styling make them just right.  This wallet closes with a snap rather than the magnetic closure of other Miche wallets.  The ultra-soft, pebbled textured black faux leather and contrasting white stitching bring the Petite Roxy, Demi Hayden and Prima Malorie to mind.  If one of these bags is calling your name, why not complete the ensemble with a new wallet to match? August 2012 Miche Soft wallet interior

I love the surprise abstract purple print lining inside the wallet, as well as the generous storage.  There are 2 zippered pockets, one open-style pocket I use this for my checkbook) and 6 card slides.   

 

The Miche Soft Wallet (textured black) is available to order!  $29.95

 

Such an amazing collection this time out from Miche!  And I dearly love the inspiration – Fearless!  Is it silly to think that carrying a Fearless bag could make you more confident?  I suppose so…  Probably as silly as thinking that if you smile more, you will find that you are happier, or that wearing a favorite sweater will ensure a better day, or that turning up the stereo to a good song and singing with it will cut down on your tension.  OK…  Maybe these notions are silly – but they do work, don’t they?

Or visit my online Miche store to order!  Do you have questions, a suggestion or comment about what you would like to see covered here?  To leave a comment, just click on the comment bubble to the right of the title of this post.  I’d love to know what you think of the Miche Fearless line.  If you are looking for a retired Demi Glory or Demi Margaret shell, just let me know!  I can help!  Or Contact me – I am your Miche representative!  Call Kat at 760.845.0621 or send me an e-mail at [email protected].

Miche Bags ~ So Simple…  So Chic…  So You!

Celebrate Hope with Miche’s Newest Shells!

Miche’s newest Hope Collection is quite wonderful!  An upbeat way to celebrate Hope and help to fund the fights to cure cancer and to treat autism.  Charitable chic! 

Fearless Blue Miche Hope shells Petite Classic Demi Prima

A cheerful, playful design of denim blue canvas accented by dove grey pebble texturedAugust 2012 Miche Hope Blue pattern closeup faux leather.  The blue canvas is silk-screened with words of encouragement and whimsical hearts ~ Sunshine * Joy * Hope * Strength * Laugh * Dream * Courage * Happiness.

As you can see from the close-up right, the pattern has somewhat of a “distressed jeans” look to it, though there is not a single loose thread, and the construction is perfect.  I think for this collection that celebrates Hope and Strength, I prefer the term “well-lived” as in a “lived-in” look.  So if you want the look of a well-lived denim purse - look no farther – Miche Hope Blue is just right. 

This inspiring line of Miche Hope bags dresses up or down beautifully, making this not just a bag of Hope, but a go-to bag for almost any occasion.  Certain to spread your cheer to others, and a handy pick-me-up anytime you are feeling blue…August 2012 Miche Prima Hope Blue denim

The Hope bags in blue are perfect when you are having a casual day,  just getting things done, in your sweats or jeans, and you don’t want to bother dressing up, but you still want to look good.  Miche Prima Hope Blue is perfect to carry all you need on a busy day – or even as an overnight bag. 

The denim blue canvas keeps it casual, the dove grey faux leather dresses it up.  Great for every season, and so many occasions!  $44.95  Order Miche Prima Hope Blue today!August 2012 Miche Demo Hope Blue Denim

When your day calls for comfort, and a casual look is the way to go, you can still be stylish.  Miche understands that style should not be a chore but something that fits into your life – rather than the other way around.  The Demi Hope Blue effortlessly dresses up or down, yet always keeps you organized and looking smart.  Cheerful, charming, and with a charitable donation from the proceeds.  Now that’s style!

Order Miche Demi Hope Blue today!August 2012 Miche Classic Hope Blue  $39.95

Do you want to know a secret?  There is a simple secret to mixing prints.  Stay within the same hue, but be sure to change the scale.  That is why the blue and pale grey pattern of the Classic Hope Blue goes so well with this blue plaid dress.  The colors are similar, but the large-scale print of the bag does not compete with the small scale print of the plaid.  $29.95

Miche Classic Hope Blue is available to order today!August 2012 Miche Petite Hope Blue denim

Look how well the blue Hope bags go with you to the office, or out to dinner.  Again the mix of patterns works here, because the blouse is a much smaller scale print than that of the Hope bag. 

Joyful, whimsical – there is seldom an occasion when these elements won’t work for me.  These bags make me smile just to look at them, and remember what Audrey Hepburn says: “Happy girls are the prettiest girls”.  I think I am going to get a Blue Hope bag.  What about you?  $18.95

Miche Petite Hope Blue is available!

Whether you are going on a picnic, to work, to the kids’ soccer game or out to dinner, the Miche Hope Blue is a perfect companion, available in the size that suits you best.  Enjoy!

Miche Bags ~ So Simple…  So Chic…  So You!

Fearless is Beautiful! Meet the Miche Madison Inspiration!

The designer for the Miche bag shells is a marvel to me, and she has shared her moving inspiration behind the new Fearless line Miche Demi Madison.Meet the Inspiration behind Miche Fearless Demi Bag Madison

Jennie Platt is the design genius behind the many, many styles and designs of the Miche bag shells.  Many of us find the latest Miche line, Fearless, truly speaks to us in our own lives and the challenges we face.  Today, Jennie tells the story of her inspiration for the chic new Demi Madison.

Madison is the daughter of one of our Representatives and she definitely defines “fearless.” Madison wanted nothing more than to be a dancer, so she practiced and performed and took hours and hours of classes. In her early teens she started getting sick, and the doctors didn’t know what was wrong with her. All of her nerve endings were in pain, her vision started getting blurry and she could barely walk. Yet through it all she would still go to dance practice, even if only to watch. As her pain got worse she would suffer violent convulsions and was eventually restricted to a wheelchair. After months and months of doctors’ visits she was finally diagnosed with Reflex Neurovascular Dystrophy—her blood flow was restricted to her nerves and they constantly sent pain messages. The only treatment was intense physical therapy to “work through the pain.”

Well Madison went to work—and work she did. Five hours a day. Madison was probably afraid, but she never let that stop her; her determination paid off and over time she danced again! In fact, she performed in this year’s National Dance Competition.

This young lady truly is fearless, and her story inspired us to create the unique—yet sophisticated—Madison Shell.

Like Madison, each of you is great beyond belief, and hopefully you know it. There will always be naysayers and your own fears that say, “You can’t do it”, but you owe it to yourself to be fearless.  Fearless in life’s challenges and obstacles. Fearless in love and adventure. Fearless in fashion and style. Fearless in being who you are.” – Jennie Platt

What an amazing story!  I will remember this and find inspiration in it as I face my own challenges.  Will you do the same?  Let’s take a closer look at the beautiful shell this story of strength and determination inspired:Miche Demi Madison with front strap and buckle detailing 

The colors used in the Demi Madison were drawn from the dusty sand dunes of the Sahara Desert and the deepest blue of a clear midnight sky – rugged, defiant and clear all at once.  The burnt caramel faux leather is a perfect contrast for that deep, deep blue.  The strap detailing across the front, linked with antique brass, flaunts rather than confines the unique energy of the Madison shell.   

 Miche Fearless Demi Madison Closeup

In the close up, to the right, you can see the lovely marbled texture of both the blue and the caramel colored faux leather.  The feel of this bag is super soft, and the look is so ”together”, so utterly ready-for-anything!  Having read the story of Madison’s journey through pain and adversity and on into strength and beauty, I can see the inspiration brought to life in this shell. 

Miche Demi Madison is available to order! $39.95

 

To make the most of the rich color tones and the antique brass hardware on the Demi Madison, I would style her with the Interchangeable Handles with the Antique Brass Chains using the brown strap included in the set.

Madison proves that Fearless is Beautiful!

 

What a privilege to be able to share this story with you!  Many of us are facing changes and challenges that, however daunting, must be over-come.  For some, being fearless may simply be fun to try.  For others it is a survival skill.  For most of us, our ability to succeed may be directly tied to how fearlessly we embrace the struggles ahead.  My very best wishes to you in your own journey.

Please help  Janis McCarthy, our Online Miche Party hostess, to add to her Miche collection with free product.  She is my sister-in-law, and is facing a number of challenges in her life, both personal and professional.  She continues to inspire me with her spirit and optimism, and her absolute determination to not just survive the storms, but to thrive – in style!   How perfect, that she is going to get some of the Fearless line shells at this time!

Since this is an online party, your order will ship right away, and not be held until the party closes!  The party will end August 16th.  Please help me make it a terrific success for Janis!
