This week sees the launch of the new Lulu Guinness fan bags. There are three fan bags launching and collaborators include Paloma Faith, Sophie Dahl and Rob Ryan, with each bag depicting their individual personalities. The ‘Paloma’ is encrusted with large Swarovski Crystals, creating a bold statement, the ‘Sophie’ fan bag is embroidered by hand with metallic thread, and has Swarovski crystals woven into the pattern. Lulu has collaborated with artist Rob Ryan on an intricate embroidery depicting two lovers under a London night sky that sparkles with Swarovski crystals. The Rob Ryan signed bag will be exhibited in the Rob Ryan Exhibition; ‘The Stars Shine All Day Too’, which runs until 20 November 2010. The Rob Ryan fan is being auctioned online at www.luluguinness.com/RobRyanCollaboration.aspxAll proceeds for the Rob Ryan online auction will be donated to raise funds for ASAP; African Solutions to African Problems.
