Fashion Stylist / Art Director: BRAND: Cut Out Girls

On a sunny Thursday afternoon we met up with two lovely girls, Carla and Libby, who are designers and creators behind the London based brand CUT OUT GIRLS. We sat down in a cosy cafe located South East side of London to talk about their bag brand and inspirations. After first sips of perfectly strong black coffee we begun to feel like suddenly being transfered to France. Maybe those were the small outside tables that reminded us of Parisian cafes but maybe those were the bags that made us think of summer trips throughout the country. And we must say - no wonder, as their latest AW13 collection is called LE VOYAGE. A very French inspired VOYAGE.

Inspiration: a cup of coffee or two

Both girls first met whilst studying Fine Art at Newcastle University. In 2011 after some time traveling and working they joined forces to establish the label CUT OUT GIRLS ltd. Inspired by their move to London and a desire to keep creating and collaborating, their first motivations came from using surplus canvas and paintings from university. This concept of reinvention, and manipulating unique left-over materials formed the first functional bag collection.

The bag we loved

When we asked what inspired both girls the list could have gone on and on but to have a little insight here are few: travel, living in London, friends, landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, color, fabrics, music and lets not forget wine.
