These are gorgeous!
I wish I had known about Velvetine when I was in Paris earlier this summer. 
These are gorgeous!
You can find the bags online on the website, I'm pretty sure they ship everywhere in the world. But it might be your perfect excuse to spend a few days in Paris again
I've ordered a Velvetine and am looking forward to it arriving 
They do ship internationally.
A few other designers:
- Baggu (love the leather pouches and their range of woven bags, my children use the zipper bags for clothes and craft),
- Tila March (understated, elegant, lovely to touch),
- Launer (they've sent me the swatches, solid colours and excellent customer service),
- Laurige (a pity that the website isn't more comprehensive. Well made leather bags that stand weather elements)
I don't know if Anya Hindmarch is considered independent, but I'm very happy with the quality of my Hindmarch bags.

Oh which one have you ordered?
I love the Neil! I saw it IRL and it's a very nice bag!
I have a Ray (my favourite), a Trent, a Julian (all black with SH), an Ozzie (Black with GH), a Daniel wallet (black with SH) and a python Bow pouch, can you tell I like this brand?
I'll post pictures tonight

Gorgeous! Congrats!The Neil! I wanted a small-med shoulder bag for those days when you want to only carry your wallet and phone.
Though I'm really craving the Ray or the larger bags. Do share yours, I'd love to see.
Haha, I wish I had the time and money to go back, but that's not going to happen (not to mention there are so many places I still need to visit for the first time, but I digress)!You can find the bags online on the website, I'm pretty sure they ship everywhere in the world.

And I saw the Velvetine website (so many pretty bags!
) but I don't want to deal with ordering internationally, and I'm hesitant to purchase when they don't have photos of all the color/hardware options. Have Velvetine bags been available recently on any American websites? I see that Shopbop had them for sale in the past, for instance, but not currently.Though I'm really craving the Ray or the larger bags. Do share yours, I'd love to see.

Yes, I know what you mean, it's always annoying when you want to order something and it's shipped from the other end of the world, such a pain when something goes wrong
I'm not sure about the American websites but I've heard the brand was relatively popular in Japan...
I agree about the different options of colours / hw, I don't know why they don't put pictures of all the different options! Plus, I honestly find that the bags IRL or even on blogs look wayyy better than on Velvetine's website!
