Limited Edition -- Lulu Guinness Hummingbird 'Penny'

Here's a bag that totally defines and personifies the Spring/Summer season!

This Hummingbird Collection from Lulu Guinness's Spring/Summer 2007 Mainline Collection is a result of a designer collaboration with British Artist, Carol Lake. Carol Lake is an artist and designer whose inspiration comes from her love of nature. Her signature style is of beautifully hand-painted, realistic flowers and imagery. This Hummingbird Print is a Limited Edition Collectors' Item!

This small 'Penny' Bag comes in White and in Black. Opt for White for that Classic Spring/Summer feel which is Ultra Fresh and Ultra Feminine! Perfect for the girly girl in you! The White is lined in Lulu's signature striped lining, with a side zip pocket and a mobile phone holder on the inside.

Lulu Guinness Hummingbird Print Small 'Penny' in Black

The Black, on the other hand, is a slightly more 'luxe-d up' version of the White 'Penny'. Instead of a striped liining, the Black version is lined in fuschia satin that just teases you with a hint of pink, peeking out at you from the side (see pic above). More suited to the Glamour Girl, this Black 'Penny' is perhaps the key piece for a date or a casual evening out about town. But fret not, what this little beauty lacks in size, she makes up for in style!

Both the Black and the White retails for £160.00 via Lulu Guinness Online. Be warned though, there is a waiting list for the Black one! To view the Hummingbird Collection in other styles, fly over to Lulu Guinness.com. Hurry, because every piece from the sought after Hummingbird Print Collection is a Limited Edition Collectors' Item! And for all you Malaysians out there, it's available at Isetan, KLCC for RM1000+
