New collection for Stratton by Lulu Guinness 

Lulu Guinness OBE, is famous for exquisite, witty handbags and accessories, originally launched her company in 1989 and instantly became a 'must' in every fashion aficionado's international address book. 

Praise in the fashion media paved the way for Lulu Guinness shops in London, New York and Tokyo. Lulu's collectable bags have been described as 'tomorrow treasures' and have been collected by the Victoria and Albert Museum London; included in the permanent fashion collection and the Tassen Museum in Amsterdam. They have also been subjects of two exhibitions in Sotheby's London and New York. 

In 2009 Lulu Guinness was awarded The Independent Handbag Designer Awards ICONOCLAST Award for Lifetime Achievement in Handbag Design.

Stratton started making powder compacts and handbag mirrors in 1923. With a new found freedom for the application of cosmetic products in public and the increasing mobility and affluence of consumers in the late 1940's, Stratton soon developed a range of attractively decorated cosmetic accessories for the handbag, including lip stick holders powder compacts, mirrors, cigarette cases and pill boxes. Glamorised by stars of the silver screen, Stratton became the must have personal accessory of the day.

The increasing influence of mineral powders and the continued need for functional and attractive handbag accessories for make up on the move, make Stratton as relevant today as it has always been.

The new collection of handbag accessories for Stratton by Lulu Guinness is the perfect combination of Lulu's classic designs and Stratton's quality and heritage. The new range of accessories will prove the perfect gift for any occasion.
