Francis Leon flagship store: this just in... fashion lust-haves

Monday, December 13, 2010



I always get a teeny, tiny, monumentally excited when I hear some delicious fashion news.

This just in: the Francis Leon flagship store
- known for their own stylish in-house brands - have now also brought on board a range of other brands to complement their signature style.

Francis Leon, nestled in go-to shopping destination James St Brisbane, has extended their tasty fashion offerings to include Tamara Fogel totes, Rike Feurstein hats and WORLD clothing into the mix.

Head designer Jo Turner prides herself catering to the intelligent woman, with a strong sense of style and eye for sophisticated design and fit – they are all about timeless investment pieces that are both on-trend and thoughtful in design.

This mantra is reflected not only in her designs but in the recent additions to the flagship store.

A little more about the brands, instore now:

Tamara Fogel bags are inspired by heritage, quality and the vibrance of London. On offer instore is a collection of totes that have combined antique textiles dating back as far as the 1800s, and leather – to create pieces with modern appeal and the promise of timeless style. Antique German flower sacks, antique French linen and even vintage canvas military tents have been used in the collection

Milliner Rike Feurstein long held a passion for colourful fabrics and traditional craftmanship, abandoning her corporate job and dedicating herself to the nearly extinct art of hat-making. Launched in 2006 – the result has been a line of beautiful hats and headpieces for women and men using the finest materials. Think, plush fur felt, hand-woven straw, Italian silk, leather, and cashmere. Feurstein combines an oldworld quality of artisanship with a pure, sensuous, emphatically modern aesthetic.

And finally, WORLD: a label that needs little introduction – hailing from the shores of New Zealand, the design duo behind the brand continue to push the enveleope and repeatedly put fashion-foward collections unique in design, and undeniably luxe. Gracing international catwalks, WORLD has secured world-wide praise from some of fashions key commentators.

All are available now at Francis Leon, shop 18, James Lane, 65 James St
Brisbane. Or order over the phone: 07 3852 5605.
