Look What We Found

The shape of things to have….

In 2012 Fashion definitely favors both form and function. By Sandra Belyon

In the recent past Kenyans in general have been ridiculed and accused of having a poor sense of style and at times referred to as lacking in Fashion by those responsible in rating Fashion in this beautiful continent and the East African region as a whole where neighboring countries like Uganda and Tanzania are said to have better tastes and fashion sense. I do not know if this is the reason that has contributed to Kenyans in all walks of life improving in taste and style as evidenced by my generation. Lack of fashion sense is the last thing they would say of us especially women between late teens and mid thirties, they clothes, shoes, bags are so diverse and rich in color. Just look around you as you walk down the streets of Nairobi ,in the social places and even the work place you will be sure to find the following….

Clutch bags

This little bag is back but was first made popular in the sixties. Though the shapes were traditional or with a sling chain. But come 2012 these bags have become even more central to our looks. Many of us are turning heads with them in interesting shapes, textures, sizes and even color. The price range is between Ksh. 50 to as much as Ksh. 6000 depending on where you shop
