ABOUT MELIE BIANCO:

It all began with an idea: design stylish, luxurious handbags and sell them at an affordable price. This idea came to life when Melissa and William, a husband and wife team, founded Melie Bianco in 2003. Since then their designs have been featured on TV segments and spotted in major fashion magazines like Marie Claire, Glamour, Lucky, Instyle, Oprah, Cosmopolitan, Self, People Style Watch, and Vogue among others. The main emphasis behind the Shop Melie brand was that handbags are usually found in the up-scale department (next to cosmetics, watches, shoes and jewelry). With this being such a prime area, it gave them the motivation to offer affordable luxury to the everyday woman. They did this by creating trend driven handbags that are always stylish from season to season by using premium faux leather, paying attention to craftsmanship and using high-end hardware and lining. Th eir mission is for every woman to “treat herself to a little luxury”.

ABOUT SAMANTHA WILLS:

Raised along side the picturesque beaches of Port Macquarie on Australia’s East Coast, Samantha Wills moved to Sydney in 2004. The same year she unveiled her debut collection at Australian Fashion Week to rave reviews. Entirely self-taught, design came as second nature to Wills who began hand-crafting pieces for her friends and family while she was still at school.
 
Inspired by her love of travel, many of Wills’ designs are affectionately named after her favorite destinations & adventures had along the way, while her home in New York City provides a constant source of artistic stimuli. Wills rarely leaves her apartment without a camera in hand to capture the magic of the city. Wills down to earth nature is easily spotted in her communications as a spokesperson for the brand, the designer has established a cult following, especially on digital mediums where she communicates honestly & openly with fans as she would friends, sharing personal stories from her life, in & amongst communications about the brand.
 
In 2011,Wills was hailed the ‘Break Out Star’ By  THE NEW YORK TIMES. Often referred to as ‘SW’ by colleagues & fans alike, Wills has been tipped by fashion writer Inez Mendoza to be ‘Australia’s biggest export since Vegemite’, if her mass following & early success are anything to go by, the future is bright for this glamorous brand & its young namesake.

Burberry Pattern, Check or Plaid

In 1856 Tomas Burberry established his first shop.  However, that is not the beginning of the iconic Burberry pattern.  Regardless of whether or not you call the design a Burberry pattern, Burberry check, or Burberry plaid, the fashion world understands that you are referencing the following design.

In 1901, the Burberry Equestrian Knight Logo was developed containing the Latin word "Prorsum", meaning forwards, and registered as a trademark.  In 1911 they became the outfitters for Roald Amundsen, the first man to reach the South Pole, and Ernest Shackleton, who led a 1914 expedition to cross Antarctica. A Burberry gabardine jacket was worn by George Mallory on his ill-fated attempt on Mount Everest in 1924. In 1914, Burberry was commissioned by the War Office to adapt its officer's coat to suit the conditions of contemporary warfare, resulting in the "trench coat". After the war, the trench coat became popular with civilians. The iconic Burberry check was created in the 1920s and used as a lining in its trench coats.

If you are a true fashionista, you most likely are very familiar with the Burberry plaid pattern.  It is one of the worlds most recognizable patterns.  The design is often referenced as the Burberry pattern, Burberry check, or Burberry plaid.

The red, white, black, and camel check, known as the 'Nova,' which came to be synonymous with Burberry, was first used as a lining for their trenchcoat in 1924. It wasn't until as late as 1967 that the Burberry Check, by now registered as a trademark, was widely used on its own for items including umbrellas, scarves and luggage. 
Burberry offers a range of checks:

• Haymarket: Classic check with the Burberry Equestrian Knight
• House: Classic check without the Burberry Equestrian Knight
• Nova: The newer and bigger check pattern. Has a cream/tan background with vertical and horizontal black and pink/red stripes
• Supernova: Larger than Nova check.
• Exploded: Exploded check usually in metallic colours like silver
• Smoked: Classic check in a darker colour with no Equestrian Knight detail
• The Beat: Classic check in black and white.
