LIDELIGHT

A good leather bag is forever. They can handle just about any weather and daily wear, yet they become more charismatic (maybe even better looking) as the years go by. Lidelight are local purveyors of the art of a forever leather bag, with brilliantly simplistic styles all lovingly handcrafted. Their mission is to create classic and quality handbags, wallets, totes and duffel bags – lasting pieces that can be enjoyed for generations. Our favourite is the Celui bag, an effortlessly chic, structured leather handbag that features an adjustable strap to be worn over the shoulder, cross body or nonchalantly draped over a forearm.

BERRY DECADENT

Telling your nearest and dearest you care is made much simpler with chocolates, especially when the chocolates spell out their name! Berry Decadent are specialists in chocolate-dipped strawberries, but their magnum opus is a breakable chocolate heart, fit with a small wooden hammer to crack open and reveal even more decadent treats inside. These treats will melt just about anyone’s heart, jazz up your party’s dessert selection and leave you craving more Berry Decadent delights.
