Month: February 2022

all of our hard work (Brynn, the spring design intern, and us current interns) 
is finally coming together to create some amazing bags this season.

Before the holiday weekend, Brynn & I met with our manufacturing team to finalize the 2016 fall Collection. The process is not easy when it comes to production. Every inch of leather to every tiny rivet is accounted for. These bags are made with so much love, we arrange everything 110% before production! all of the raw materials are examined and counted. We intensely prepare for any bumps in the road and strive to reduce risks. together we try our hardest to make production run as smooth as possible.

This whole summer interning at Brynn Capella Inc. I have been getting ready for this moment.

Even though I was not involved with the 2016 fall collection until this summer, I consider it a baby of mine. It is extremely exciting taking our next step in the lifecycle of producing handbags. Our job throughout production is making sure our team is equipped and on time. As one of the design interns, I have been ordering materials and overviewing our stock all summer for this production. To reduce any risks or delays, it is important to stay organized: from time management to the hardware shelves.

Communication is KEY! 

We had some minor changes to the current styles that needed to be consulted. We make sure the whole team is aware of these changes and the reasons for any change. The crew depends on communication; all ends of the production process are crucial. Each bag is consulted and noted to secure the correct production! Every color leather has a certain lining and zipper that has been thoughtfully picked out. There are production sheets (cheat sheets) given for team members with any confusion on colors or sizes!

ALSO we have the new styles launching this fall! After finalizing these new bags, it is so thrilling to see the outcome. We are all very eager for this next season of bags.

I started my internship right here at Brynn Capella just over a month back as well as let me tell you, not only am I already consumed with all the bags, so is my mom!

She is constantly scrolling with Brynn’s website drooling over every bag as well as accessory, however she’s having difficulty trying to narrow it down to just one (for right now).

I’ve been assisting her with the decision by sending photos as well as showing her exactly how they can be styled; I want her to discover the perfect bag, however likewise want to make sure I like it too, since I will definitely be stealing it from her every now as well as then.

Growing up, my mom as well as I would refer to our different clothing, shoes, accessories etc as “mours” standing for mine as well as ours since we had as well as still do have extremely similar styles!

As the days have passed, we have altered our minds a number of times on what style as well as color would be perfect for her (and me hahaha) as well as I’ve officially narrowed it down to three bags that I understand she will like as well as continue to like for many years to come. The three styles are the Nikki, Jenne as well as of course, the iconic Lauren.

The Nikki was the very first bag that caught her eye as well as she promptly fell in love! With her lovely brass embellishment as well as soft, supple suede, she understood right away she desired it in the color Cinnamon! I mean who wouldn’t autumn head over heals for that lovely burnt orange shade? perfect for all year round!

She likewise ended up being smitten with the Jenne as soon as she laid eyes on her! She absolutely liked it in the color Aquarius, as well as I might totally see why, it’s the perfect summertime shade as well as would go excellent paired with her preferred color, pink! Not only that, it’s BOTH of our birthstones! I mean c’mon, it’s meant to be, right?

The Lauren was where things got a bit tricky, there’s just sooo many colors to select from, she can’t comprise her mind! Ultimately, however not finalized, she decided on the color Caviar for its soft Italian cowhide leather, in addition to the lovely pop of bright fuchsia lining on the inside.

Ultimately, it is as much as my mom to make this tough decision, however I understand that she will like the bag she chooses, as well as most likely be coming back for more!

Hopefully by my next blog publish she will have made up her mind, so I’ll update you guys then!

Is A Crossbody Hobo Bag For You?January 23, 2022In “Emerging Designers”
Why accessorizing Is So ImportantJuly 24, 2020In “Accessories”
The traveling Bag!?!?!August 8, 2016In “Handbags”

before interning with Brynn, I had always been consumed with name brand designers like Tory Burch, Michael Kors, or Louis Vuitton. I was continuously looking ahead to getting my hands on the next designer name purse since it was stylish as well as what I was many familiar with growing up.

Now don’t get me wrong, I still like these designers however lately I’ve discovered myself having much more of an appreciation for small, locally handcrafted designers. as well as that is coming from me, somebody who never thought about even buying non-designer brands.

Interning right here has taught me so much about shortcuts that numerous designers can take in purchase to cut costs as well as speed up production. As a common shopper, I never would have discovered these details unless somebody told me about them. I utilized to be as well concerned about the brand name to even pay interest to the specifics of a handbag’s structure. I now feel as if numerous consumers don’t recognize that the style as well as craftsmanship of a purse states much more about the high quality than the little logo of the designer. It’s essential to understand where your bag is coming from as well as exactly how it’s crafted.

Brynn prefers to round her corners, even if it’s a carry bag or a clutch. You may notice sharp corners on your bags as well as exactly how much quicker they wear than the rest of the bag. Brynn prevents those by taking the additional effort as well as time to dart or round her corners, since it assists sluggish down or totally avoids the wear. Of course, this process takes much more time as well as boosts the cost of the production process however the toughness is what matters in the long run.

My very first Brynn Capella bag, the Cher Crossbody, is what truly made me much more conscious of exactly how meaningful the style as well as production process is. The leather is a great deal softer instead of many of my bags which are of a much more firm, pebbled texture. It’s ended up being so typical for many designers to sand down their leather as well as emboss an even pebbled texture, that I feel as if people have forgotten what natural leather feels like. I like that Brynn embraces all leather structures throughout her collections since I feel as if each leather has character to it.

Having seen whatever that goes on behind production likewise makes me feel much more positive using my BC bag around. It’s a great feeling to understand my bag was handcrafted with care in the city I grew up in as well as not mass created in some foreign factory overseas. From conception to production, whatever is kept regional as well as handmade.

Not to mention, it’s good to lastly wear something that not everybody else has. It’s an even much better feeling when people notice it as well as ask you where your bag is from.

Why restrict yourself to a purse or accessory that anybody else can quickly discover as well as purchase for themselves? set yourself aside from the crowd as well as let your style stand apart instead of the brands you purchase from.
