Time to get your handbag Organised!

Watch out - Best to keep yourself well and truely organised:The theft of your favorite handbag is devastating, not just because you've lost your prized designer accessory but also what's inside it. New research shows that the average woman regularly carries more than £342 ($608.13AUD) worth of "essentials."
Some of the big ticket items include a mobile phone, MP3 player, designer sunglasses, wallet, and cosmetics.
"I think £342 ($608.13 AUD) is a conservative estimate," said Victoria Barrett of http://www.itsmyid.co.uk/, adding that the loss could be much greater if personal effects are stolen. This is an important lesson as the research states almost two-thirds of women carry documents containing their name or address, and 71% carry a driver's license or passport.
"What it [the research] doesn't take in to account is the cost of losing your ID if your passport is cloned, let alone getting new keys cut for your house or car and the inconvenience of having to cancel your credit cards and pay for a new driving licence," she continued. "This study highlights the importance of keeping your belongings and identity as secure as possible."
The study shows that almost 18% of women will get their purse pinched, and one out of every 20 victims will have their identity stolen. It's a good reminder to consider what we really need to carry inside our handbags, as we never know when we'll become one of those unfortunate statistics.

Bespoke JaNik fundraiser helps Pembroke Secondary College students on their way to Borneo for World Challenge Australia

Bespoke JaNik for Handbags & More helped raise funds for these spirited young women attending a World Challenge event in Borneo this coming November. The girls from Pembroke
Secondary College in Moroolbark organised a Market day to raise
funds for their trip. Chloe Wright, spokeswoman for the group and organiser of the fundraising event, said that the funds helped to cover costs in the participation of the World Challenge. Participating in the World Challenge not only gave the girls a insight into other cultures, but also taught them valuable lessons involved in co-ordinating fundraising for attending the Challenge and group projects, along with budgeting. All part of the learning and growing experience of be gained from being involved in the project.

The Seasons are changing- grab your HANDBAG ORGANISER and change bags!

The seasons are changing and with the arrival of the wild autumnal weather, it' time to change handbags for me from a breezy Summer Madagascan basket and looking to upgrade to one of our new Italian leather imports......What easier way to keep organised and make the move easily and painlessly from handbag to handbag, than by using a HANDBAG ORGANISER. "Every Bag should have one!" Sporting multiple compartments to store your phone, coins, lipsticks, pens, wallet and more - I highly recommend a handbag organiser to get not only the interior and the bottom of your bag sorted out, but never forget a thing when changing bags! Prices starting from $29.95 - great Mother's Day hint!

Distinctively summer Mandarin Orange,

Check out our new clothing range by Mandarin Orange. Imagine light beach throw overs, embellished in delicate sequins and beading - soft, feminine and gorgeous for any hot day! Browse though our range of Kaftans, beach throwovers, summer dresses, skirts and shirts.

You may even pick up a great pair of matching leather sandals or a great beach basket to match....
