with distribution focussed primarily on independant specialty retailers like us at still life, tano bags (new york) shy away from mass market merchandisers keeping the individuality of their products strong. a line of handbags, clutches and purses made entirely from beautifully soft leathers, we welcome tano bags at still life this autumn with a variety of styles and price points for all our ladies in victoria.

silky-smooth, hand-stained leathers, lined interiors and adjustable (and removable) shoulder straps give versatility to the larger tano handbags, easy to wear on the arm or over the shoulder. tano bags are new for us this season and they're merchandising beautifully in our shop with rich autumnal colourways slipping in perfectly amongst our strong autumn/winter collections from our other fashion brands. come by soon to see our full selection from tano, ideal for the rest of the season and a gorgeous way to move into the new year.

straight backs are happy backs, as such the fjällräven kånken backpack was launched in 1978 to spare the backs of swedish school children. back problems had begun to appear in increasingly younger age groups and shoulder bags were popular across the european nation. with many simple, clear functions, the kånken soon became a common sight at pre-schools and nature schools around sweden. the idea of using a backpack quickly spread, as did the kånken and it is just as popular today being and an excellent choice for school, outings or biking to work. made out of durable, lightweight vinylon f the kånken has a large main compartment with a large opening makes it easy to put in/take out items, two side pockets and a zippered pocket in the front, handle at the top, narrow, supple shoulder straps, sitting pad in the pocket in the back and the fjällräven artic fox logo that doubles as a reflector.

we've watched as these ultra-practical swedish bags have been snapped up by all types of folks downtown at still life boutiqe - from young kids heading to their first day of school and university friends finally heading (back) to school to downtown commuters for work and outdoor explorers. last weekend during rifflandia jordan got caught in a torrential downpour with tommy guerrero and our friend aaron from the sentimentals and stored all his camera gear & recording equipment in his burnt red kånken and everything came out dry as it went in. we're especially excited with this delivery of the bags to see the very first arrival of both the black and purple kånkens (two colours we've never before had instore).

the fjällräven kånken backpacks amazing, practical, colourful, and now available at still life boutique.

founded in germany in 2004, george gina & lucy (GGL) is the result of design-minded husband and wife team nicholas neuhaus & nicole bailly, and friend oliver bruno. in just a handful of years the trio has amassed a wide variety of uniquely original luxury handbags while infusing the design world with a healthy dose of humour (see colour varieties including salmon hayek, drew berrymore, orlando bluem, keira whitely & marlon browndo).

loved worldwide, GGL shows an eye for detail and functionality, offering creative features such as zippers, exterior comparments, buckles and their signature chunky GGL clasp. the sheer range of shapes, sizes and colours offered by GGL is impressive, and by producing bags from a combination of materials (vinyl, polyester, cotton & high-quality leather) each bag appears as nearly one of a kind.

this spring we're happy to offer an assortment of these coveted bags for victoria's confident women and young ladies, valuing individuality and uniqueness.
