Ballerina / Luxury Handbag Designer
Cape-based ballerina and designer, Jennifer Middleton, has just launched a stylish, yet very practical handbag and laptop bag combination, which she has named Nikiya after a character in the extravagant ballet, La Bayadère.
Jennifer has incorporated her love for dancing in her range of stylishly designed bags by naming them after characters in famous ballets. Nikiya is an Indian temple dancer in love with a man who is engaged to another woman, the Rajah’s daughter. Nikiya embodies eternal love, mystery, fate, vengeance and justice.
The Nikiya bag, which is made from genuine bovine nappa leather, was designed to meet a practical need in the lives of today’s women. Most women walk around with a handbag and another bag or two for business, work or practical purposes. With this in mind, Jennifer set about designing a bag that combines the practical needs of everyday life with an elegant and fashionable look that gives women the opportunity to use one bag for work and play.
The Nikiya comes with an additional small makeup bag made from genuine leather, which has a chain so that it can also be used as an evening bag
The inside laptop bag can hold any 13-inch brand and there is space for a larger 15-inch laptop in the main space of the bag.
The Jennifer Middleton collection reflects the rich colours, textures and movements of Africa. Designer and creator, Jennifer Middleton, has created a brand that combines elegant style and exotic edge with top quality. Originally inspired by her ballet background and the creation of beautiful lines, the bags reflect elegant beauty. Each bag is stylishly crafted in Cape Town and all materials are unique to South Africa. The bags are embellished with chic accessories that mirror the vibrancy of Africa.
Jennifer Middleton bags are for women who value high standards of quality, elegance in style and a touch of the exotic.
The Nikiya bag comes in tan, black and red, retails at R5190 and is available to shop on Shopstar at Jennifer-middleton-bags.shopstar.co.za
