New brand to watch: RAVENS HEAVEN

 http://www.ravensheaven.com/

We have lots of friends who are working in the fashion industry but not many who can go international since the start. Ravens Heaven is one of them. Designed by Nancy Wong (a.k.a. Nancy Chuangkamhang) launched her first handbag collection in 2009 but within a year her Ravens Heaven’s bags are selling in Bangkok and Tokyo.

 
Nancy got herself started in the handbag business in 1999 when she was tapped to co-design and manage the heavy-metal, rock inspired leather handbags and silver jewelries for the local Japanese brands which retailed through multi-label stores in Tokyo and Osaka. And through her experiences in working in Bangok, Shanghai, Tokyo and Hongkong Ravens Heaven was born.

Nancy told Friends Like Them that “The brand has a “dare to be different” attitude, and is geared toward men and women with unique personalities, a strong sense of self and the confidence to craft their own personal style without letting others opinions influence them.” Her designs are best described as “sophistication with raw edges” – the perfect accessories for stylish urbanites with a taste for something different.

Well we guess the real heaven isn’t too far away…
