SISKEN's web producer Lou spent her whole summer break playing with or waiting for her turn on the new family iPad and trying hard to work out how she can do all of her work on it, while reclining next to the pool. A fantasy for sure.

Heading out on the town to say goodbye to this year and a big warm hello to 2012?  Here are our top 5 tips for keeping yourself nice:

Most of us are packing some sort of tissue or wet wipe in our bags, but if you want something beautiful and luxurious in your bag then go back to your grandma's day and find yourself a set of beautiful hankerchiefs.

Looking for something small and luxurious to say thank you to someone special? A SISKEN coin purse is the perfect gift.

We're back for the last Magnolia Square designer market next week at the Malvern Town Hall. This event is one of our favorite's, especially with all the gorgeous Christmas products on display, and a great place to find something unique and extra-special for your Christmas stockings.

SISKEN is excited to be included in the biannual designer market event, Markit@Fed Square next weekend.

It's never too early to start your Christmas shopping, and there's nothing more gorgeous than the smell of genuine leather on Christmas morning.

The fever is upon us and everyone in Melbourne seems to be frantically matching shoes, bags and feathers for the race that stops the nation in their stilettos. Your raceday handbag needs to hold all your essentials, like a racebook, pen, lippy, a good stock of bandaids for raceday blisters,and all your winnings, but it doesn't need to be a gym-bag.

Your handbag says a lot about you - bold and bright, or soft and simple? But what's inside your bag says more.

We're so excited to be spending next weekend at the Queens Theatre in beautiful Adelaide.

We loved the vintage prints and strong colours that featured at New York's Fashion Week in September, but the best thing was the return of the clutch!

Our pop-up sale at the Mt Eliza Hotel in Prahran was such a great success. We had loads of mothers calling in for lunch before hitting the pop-up sale and their favourite product was our Tarlee Tote. 

We've been so busy at SISKEN HQ - spring has made  us crazy! The whole 2011 collection of SISKEN bags and leather accessories is now on the website for you to explore.
