Fashionistas and Fashionistos from across the GTA gathered at the Spoke Club last night to see Sarah Shell reveal 442 McAdam‘s Spring/Summer 2011 collection. Attendees nibbled on delicious vegetarian goodies and sipped wine while looking at the five bag women’s collection (each coming in four different shades – the theme of the upcoming season is colour and texture) and two bag men’s collection (called the Mister). Many of the old favourites from the Fall/Winter collection are back, including the Hobette and Chappy. Sarah has also given the Hobo a slight makeover. Gone is the flap and while the rifle/guitar strap is still there, the Spring/Summer 2011 version includes shorter handles, making it much more friendly for those of us who are on the smaller side. One of DelectablyChic!’s favourites, the bag is extremely versatile, and is big enough to hold a small laptop or tablet. A great bag for those who like to chill and blog at the local coffee place. Spring/Summer 2011 will be available for sale early next year in stores and online.

Look for more on Sarah Shell’s Spring/Summer 2011 coming soon!
