The bags to watch: Shanta Leather Goods



Beige Classic



Out of Kuwait comes a handbag and leather goods brand set to make it big - Shanta, Arabic for "bag", the collaboration of friends Muneera Al Naibari and Sirine Sadeddin.

What I love about them is that not only is there a high quality natural feel to them, there is also a timelessness about them. And when it comes to design and colour, you're spoilt for choice...there are the sleek, classic designs like the "Madame" and the "Classic", the undeniable pomp and glamour of the "Red Classic", the more boho "Messenger", and the slightly rocky, slightly romantic "Ruffle Dream", all available in a range of colours. 

"Each detail of our collection is handpicked to create unique and original pieces. Shanta is not just an item it is a sense of style that conveys a fusion of elegance with a hip spark", says Muneera. 

They are just the types of bags we love and I'm sure will prove a big hit across the region. And the Madame bag was made for the abaya!

Here are some snaps from their A/W 2011 Desert Rose collection.
