Georgina Skalidi recycles fashion

For the week between tomorrow, March 18th and Saturday, March 26th, accessories designer Georgina Skalidi is hosting a second-hand bazaar at her new space in Kolonaki. 'Let's Recycle Fashion!' is the brief shout out that came along with the announcement. Whether 'eco' translates to ecological or economical to you, this event applies to both.

Ma Chambre - new address

Like I said it was going to happen, Ma Chambre has just moved to a new 'chambre', at Skoufa 77, Kolonaki - Athens.

Image above, Mikaela Theofilou's piece on Skalidi's work at one of Ethnos newspaper recent issues - it's great to finally see fashion and local creation all the more often on newspaper pages. Fingers crossed, at some point it's going to move from the fashion columns to the business ones like it should.

Georgina Skalidi's clutch, mine

Told you this one was coming. Quite confident you are all ignoring the snow boots and possibly a curtain I'm wearing because this new baby of mine is such a show stopper. Handmade, leather, limited number, with or without a leash, perfectly fitting the pelvis and all my essentials. Presenting you my new clutch by Georgina Skalidi.

Visiting Ma Chambre

Finally made it to Georgina Skalidi's pink basement and before too long, I wanted her 'chambre' to be mine. Imagine a handmade clutch nest literally underground. Hard to miss these shoes too. 'Lujuria' by fellow Spanish designer Maria Arellano who amongst other projects, has designed a private collection for Madonna.
Georgina Skalidi's ballerina's were special too, flat, simple and cute, matching those clutches of hers like they should. (That's right, took a useless picture of them inside their boxes - scroll up to first image or pay her a visit)
Ma Chambre is soon to relocate I was told, same neighbourhood though -so if you're reading this let's say in March '11- check before heading over.

As for what I left with, well, it was what I went for all along, against ongoing transport strikes, protests, lousy parking and all odds.
Deserves a post of its own.
Soon.

Xmas come early at Ma Chambre

Ma Chambre, a room full of bags

Handbags designer Georgina Skalidi has found a space for her babies and she plans to celebrate with an opening bash. 'Ma Chambre' is located at #71A Skoufa str. in Kolonaki, Athens and along with the presentation of the a/w 10 collection it will also offer a festive 20% off for the day.

When? This Wednesday, September 22nd.
Seems there's something about this Wednesday...
Well, there's definitely something about these bags.
