Fashion Retailer Leko London Today Announced An Increase In The Sales Of 50's Style Handbags Leading Up To The Diamond Jubilee
Online handbag retailer Leko London today announced an increase in the sales of tapestry carpet bags. These bags are similar to those that were at the height of fashion during the Queen's Coronation.
Online, June 1, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Leko London, a retailer and supplier of handbags, today announced that in the weeks leading up to the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, sales of 50's style tapestry carpet bags have increased.
The Queen's Diamond Jubilee takes place this week, with celebrations over the extended 4-day bank holiday weekend. The Queen came to the throne on the 6th February 1952, however her coronation was not until the 2nd of June 1953. During this time there were many celebrations taking place around the country, and the style for ladies handbags was floral tapestry.
Tapestry carpet bags are unusual handbags that are made from woven material. This material is strong, which enables these bags to carry more weight than other handbags. Tapestry bags are also made with different designs, mainly floral, which make them very similar to the style that handbags were in the 1950's.
Leko London announced that their sales of tapestry bags had increased in the weeks leading up to the Diamond Jubilee. The predicted reason for this is that as tapestry bags were popular during the Queen's Coronation, they have become popular again with her Diamond Jubilee.
A representative from Leko London said, "We noticed a similar trend in the sales of tapestry bags in the year of the Queen's Golden Jubilee. We believe that tapestry carpet bags become more fashionable around these times as they are associated with the reign of the Queen, which is a refreshing change from the usual fashion of high street stores."
The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Celebrations will take place within the next few days, and sales of tapestry bags are increasing as ladies take their last chance to buy the best accessory for the occasion. Anyone watching the celebrations from home will be able to see this surge in popularity through what everyone is wearing this year.
Leko London is an online retailer of handbags. They provide many different designs and styles including a wide range of tapestry carpet bags.
