The Duffel Bag/Holdall

If in doubt, this should really be your go-to. It’s the default option because it can perform multiple functions on a daily basis while still retaining an element of style.

It’s ideal for the gym goer who likes to keep their gear close to hand. The perfect companion for the weekenders who exclusively carry-on. And for anyone who tries to live anything resembling an interesting life outside of work, it’s basically your portable wardrobe.

Pick one that is a medium size (i.e. not too small nor too big) and if possible opt for a leather version in brown. Leather is more versatile than canvas, especially when it comes to selecting an all-purpose bag, and will go with most looks you put together:

DAVID TLALE – Mercedes-Benz Cape Town Fashion Week 2012

The Michelle Ludek Collection Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 2012

Cape Town, 23 July 2012: Michelle Ludek known for delivering stylish silhouettes, flowing fabrics and fashion-forward designs, announces the launch of her first accessory spin-off: The Michelle Ludek Shoe Collection.  This celebrated South African’s women’s designer will premiere her new shoe collection with her signature look of wrapping, draping and flowing fabrics.

The Michelle Ludek Shoe Collection will be available by order only and just in time for summer, but was debut at the runway show during Mercedes-Benz Cape Town Fashion Week on the 27 July 2012. Designed by Michelle, these hand-made shoes will be produced by Bennett and co, using only the best finishes and fabrications.

Michelle Ludek explains “I am passionate about shoes and wanted to extend my love for shoes to my consumers. My fashion label is now well-established and has enjoyed tremendous growth over the past four years – Shoe design seemed like a natural progression for me, so I am very excited to launch the line at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week this year.”

That’s not to say that her attention has been taken away from her clothing designs, this year the Michelle Ludek summer collection intriguingly tells two stories, Michelle says “I have tried to find a balance between creativity and reality: while each story is unique there is an uncompromising liaison in each that takes its inspiration from the Art Deco period.”  

Fans can expect tailored pieces, fringing and striped fabrics, reminiscent of the 1920’s while shots of Tangerines, Cobalt Blues and a unique colour, “Celery”, that the designer has created & developed gives the collection a brave, playful and sexy punch.

Impassioned about collaborating with up-coming creative talents, Michelle has challenged Bridgette de Waal who created all the crochet and knitted pieces in the collection and Belinda-Lee Ludek with creating exclusive inspired jewelry pieces to complete this summer collection. Supporting local fashion, Cameo has supplied all hosiery for the show.

The Michelle Ludek summer collection was unveiled to at Mercedes Benz Cape Town Fashion Week on the 27 July 2012 at 17h00. WOZA – WEAR ONLY SOUTH AFRCAN.
