	FLORA COLLECTION by Gucci The new Flora accessories collection is an explosion of wild flowers exquisitely rendered in vivid reds, pinks, yellows and blues that continue the Gucci icon status yet are infused with a modern twist. Originally created for Princess Grace of Monaco as a one-of-a-kind scarf collection in 1966, creative director of Gucci accessories, Frida Giannini, translates the concept into an array of handbags and totes that exude a fresh, young feel. Available in styles like: The Hobo, The Jackie, and The Flora Bamboo, the bags come in either small, medium or large and use cotton canvas — with or without embroidered detailing. For an extra luxurious feel, the Flora clutch evening bag, features silk satin with Swarovski crystal beaded closure. The Flora Collection will be available at Gucci stores worldwide from November 2004. Visit: Gucci

Cleverly positioned pockets, on bags, not only look good (in design terms) but serve a purpose as well — all of which adds up to a well crafted, stylish collection. Price: £500 Visit: J&M Davidson

Nappa, suede, glossy furs shaped in modern styles are the preferred luxury materials used. Boutique Gianfranco Lotti Via della Bigna Nuova, 45 r Firenze

	Pure and Simple Far removed from the founders core business (the construction and engineering company JCB) Bamford's signature collection — launched at London Fashion Week this year — makes a promising entry into the accessory market. Discreetly styled in a selection of pieces (e.g. weekend bag, large back pack, document holder, tote, messenger dispatch bag and cosmetic bag) the collection is both functional and unfussy.
