Claudine Gassier from Claudine and Ash is one very stylish mum and I thought it would be great to get her insider view on where she shops and any tips she has for mums that want to keep stylish.
Claudine’s love of timeless style translates onto her range of fashion forward baby bags, designed for stylish mothers. The idea to design and create a chic, functional and versatile bag range came about when Claudine and her husband Mark were living in Paris in 2010. After seeing a gap in the market, Claudine began the process of designing the range and her bags can now been seen on the arms of some very yummy mummies.
Being a Mum herself is an important part of the design process for Claudine as it is not about simply having a bag that looks great, but it must serve a practical purpose as well. For Claudine, it’s important for mums to have a little something in their life that makes them feel like they look good. And that is what Claudine & Ash is all about.
