Sharp shoppers snapped up all available leather and nubuck shoulder bags within an hour of the item appearing on the site.

There’s one style remaining – the hexagonal chain crocodile bag – but at £8,950, it’s not what we’d consider an impulse buy. Although the two-tone wonder won’t reappear, expect to find five more of Ms B’s bags online from February.

UPDATE: We received word from Net at 1:45 that the second bag, which we anticipated might stick around a bit longer, has also now sold out. What Christmas rush?

Each season Mimi launches a new collection for both men and women, which includes everything from sleek weekend bags, sturdy satchels and gorgeous clutch bags, to a diverse selection of ladies leather purses. The range uses beautiful colors throughout, including scarlet reds, yellows, rich browns and bright metallics. All Mimi pieces are made from exquisite Italian leather and are manufactured in the United Kingdom to ensure the highest production quality and ethical standards.

Mimi sells in select boutiques in London, the UK and Europe, as well as internationally in the US, Japan and Australia.

In 2007 Berry was commissioned by Tate Britain to design a unique collection of leather bags, purses and cardholders to be sold exclusively at Tate shops. The Mimi For Tate collaboration was so successful that the range remains ongoing with new styles launched seasonally.

Makki has an eco fashion policy and supports artisans who have developed ancient techniques over years, each piece has the unique one-of-a-kind appeal owing to the handmade and hand dyed qualities.

Featured in ‘Vogue’ this month as well as stocked at the exclusive ‘Dorchester Hotel’ in Mayfair and the infamous ‘Le Bon Marche’ in Paris, Makki uses the finest grade Eel skin leather; it is much softer than normal leather even though it is 3 times stronger.

They have an exciting range of accessories including purses, belts, cuffs, card holder and passport holders, in a wide range of colours such as Hot Pink, Teal, Purple and Antique White. 

In house designed, Makki boasts an excellent relationship with the artisans who make their designs, and Makki does not negotiate on the suppliers’ price, uses the finest quality materials and consistently pays up-front.  When possible they visit places of work and ensure good quality working conditions are maintained. 

In a world where disposable fashion using cheap labour and mass produced items are becoming the norm, Makki is offering the consumer fashion with a conscience.  All available to order online at http://www.citrine-online.co.uk/bags/cat_5.html
