Blogger Style Challenge

We love seeing some of our favourite bloggers show us how to style our #NicaHandbags for a little outfit inspiration. So, you may have noticed that we’ve recently challenged a few of our faves to five days of Nica style on Instagram!

We challenged bloggers @honey_pop to style up our Laurengrab and @dearestdeer_ to style our Lauren crossbody. They've created lots of beautiful outfits, so we wanted to share a few of our faves with you!

We’re no stranger to a vintage feeling design here at Nica, so, we loved Dunya’s retro feeling outfit. Teaming our classic Lauren crossbody with a cool denim dungaree dress, polo neck and knee high boots which is a perfect combo just before the weather gets too cold. 

The Lauren crossbody is a really versatile bag as when teamed with a sleek pair of trousers and fitted top, it makes for a completely different feel.

The great thing about the Lauren grab is that it can also be worn as a crossbody thanks to its detachable strap, and blogger Amanda demonstrated this perfectly. It looked great paired with a pink plaid mini skirt and casual jumper. 

Whilst carrying as a grab, she chose a pair of cool cheque trousers, a mint green jumper and some very cool white platform shoes.

Which of their outfits was your favourite and would influence your #NicaHandbags outfits? Why not drop us a comment to tell us below? 

#NicasInspirations: Go behind the Lauren grab with Nica Kim

I hope that you’re loving our latest A/W 14 collection? I’m very pleased with the results, and of course, I have lots of favourites! One style that I just can’t put down is the Lauren grab. So, this week, I thought that I’d give you a little more of an insight into its design!

I love the Doctor’s bag shape, which is a style that comes and goes out of fashion, and I wanted to infuse its classic shape with a Nica twist! I decided to give it more of a minimal feel, and so, I looked towards sleek, linear influences.

Travels aside, when I'm designing, I often turn to sources such as Pinterest as it’s the quickest way to pull together lots of different kinds of inspiring images that I could never find in just one trip away. I love sharing my design influences with you.

I'm going to start sharing some of my Pinterest design mood boards with you too. First up is the beautiful Lauren grab! You can view its board here. 

As to stick to the non-conventional Doctor’s bag theme, I finished with a zip top closure, and added a detachable crossbody strap. The result is an ultra-modern twist upon a vintage feeling style that’s both stylish yet easy to carry around with you. - Be it as a crossbody or a grab.

The Lauren grab infuses the classic Doctor’s bag with a modern twist, and is a great size for carrying around those daily essentials. Don’t just take our word for it, though, why not read Urban Butterfly’s review? – Who says: ‘The size is perfect as I do not travel light, it fits all the things that I need to cart around with me on a daily basis’.

She also adds that ‘the raspberry colour is ideal for summer but a great splash of colour we head into autumn / winter’, but if you’re still undecided about completing your outfits with a splash of colour, then, rest assured that the Lauren grab is also available in the classic hues of black and tan. You’re spoilt for choice!
