CLASSIC COLLECTION
Un Dahlia
Courtisane au sein dur, à l’oeil opaque et brunS’ouvrant avec lenteur comme celui d’un boeuf,Ton grand torse reluit ainsi qu’un marbre neuf.
Fleur grasse et riche, autour de toi ne flotte aucunArome, et la beauté sereine de ton corpsDéroule, mate, ses impeccables accords.
Tu ne sens même pas la chair, ce goût qu’au moinsExhalent celles-là qui vont fanant les foins,
Et tu trônes, ldole insensible à l’encens.
– Ainsi le Dahlia, roi vêtu de splendeur,Élève sans orgueil sa tête sans odeur,
Irritant au milieu des jasmins agaçants!
PAUL VERLAINE

Victoria Makin graduated from the University of Northumbria in 2000, with a degree in Fashion Design BA (Hons).
Specialising in accessories and printed textiles, she soon became famous for her stylish designs and worked in house for a number of leading UK fashion brands. Over the past twelve years, Victoria has successfully injected her unique style by designing some of the best selling accessories on the British high street.
Her artistic flair became evident at a very young age: Victoria would sit and draw for hours upon hours inspiredby the glorious Yorkshire landscape. As a florist, her mother gave Victoria the opportunity to study and draweach and every flower, learning their Latin origin in the process.
Over the years these basic pencil drawings evolved, becoming more detailed and intricate. Victoria began experimenting with new materials and fabrics. She soon realised that each form and subject could be redefinedthrough a different media such as silk painting and screen printing. Expressing her love of colour combined witha meticulous eye for detail, Victoria transforms drawings into designs and creates beautiful pieces of jewellery, textiles and handbags.
Victoria's wonderful dream has come true with the launch of her first luxury handbag collection, exhibiting thefinest materials and the most delicate illustrations. The designer’s life-long love of detail and colour is equallytranslated throughout the collection.
Victoria Makin's beautifully crafted handbags revisit and invigorate the timeless and powerful metaphorism of theDahlia, 'the queen dressed in splendour', which was so uniquely unearthed by poet Paul Verlaine and the symbolistmovement. Victoria Makin's accessories allow its select and exclusive female clientele to reaffirm and carry forwardtheir sense of sophistication, elegance and desirability.
