Goodiebag!? Launch ELLE Beach magazine

Today Elle magazine launched an extra summer edition of the magazine, named Elle Beach. To celebrate this special edition Elle organised a big boat parade through the canals of Amsterdam. It ended up being one big party with loud music, lots of food and drinks, a disco bingo and the best weather possible. And on top of all that we received a great goodiebag at the end of the day…

Goodiebag !? Launch of The Chesterfield Brand

Of course everyone of you is familiar with the Chesterfield chairs and couches. This classical furniture is famous for it’s buttoned style and usually comes in shades like black, brown or white. The Chesterfield furniture  has been popular for years and years. And since it has never gone out of fashion Dutch designer Viona van Dijk came with the idea to design a handbag collection based on the look of Chesterfield furniture. Today she launched the first Chesterfield bag collection in Amsterdam. We were there and took this nice goodiebag home with us.

Goodiebag !? Glammies 2010

Finally… the fashion events are back. After a cold winter our agenda’s are  filled again with fashion releases, fashion shows, premieres and award shows. And we all know what that means…..lots of goodiebags too!

Last night fashion magazine Glamour held it’s awards show named The Glammies in Amsterdam. Although the organisation wouldn’t give the press a goodiebag at first, we ultimately ended up getting one. And we sure wouldn’t have wanted to miss out on this one. Cause it sure is a goodie!

Bibi wins our goodiebag contest!

With a fashionable key ring, a book about modeling by Yfke Sturm, a scarf from the Percy Irausquin collection and a Redken tube, we chose Bibi van der Velden’s goodiebag as the best of the Amsterdam Fashion Week.

Just as much as we loved Bibi’s show, we loved her goodiebag. We estimated its value at € 25 and gave the goodiebag an excellent 7,5.

Though the Bibi van der Velden key ring will be a little bit too big for our pockets, we thought it looked pretty cool. And as our whole team dreams of becoming a top model we also liked getting Yfke Sturm’s book about how to look like a top model. Besides, the scarf from the Collection PRC (Percy Irausquin) will surely match one of our outfits. And the Redken tube will be added to the rest of our Redken collection, which we gathered during this Amsterdam Fashion Week.

We want to congratulate Bibi van der Velden on winning our goodiebag contest.

Yet we have two remarks to make:

1.      After comparing all goodiebags from this Amsterdam Fashion Week, it was obvious the Supertrash goodiebag had the best content of all bags.
It came close to winning our contest. However, as none of these bags ended up in our hands, it didn’t.
We think it’s only fair to give all first two rows at a fashion show a goodiebag and not make a distinction between the sections. Moreover, since we have officially started a goodiebag contest, we think we should always get one, no matter what section or row we sit. (We also don’t want to have to goodie-beg for it).

2.      We accidently discussed one of the goodies in the Non by Kim goodiebag wrong. We described one of the items as a folder, but it actually was a handmade screen print, worth about 50 euros.
We want to apologize for this mistake. Yet we think its value wasn’t clear to a lot of people, especially since it was printed on the back of the press review, which most people throw away shortly after the show.
Maybe it should have been handed out in a different way or maybe it was just bit of a baddie to give away at a fashion show. Anyway, we are sorry for our misinterpretation.

Looking back on all the goodiebags we received last week, we think there is some pimping to be done. Some of the bags seemed worth more than their contents and after a few shows we were almost buried in Redken products. There was also a huge gap between the Supertrash goodiebag and all the other bags. So there’s a job for the other brands if they want to equalize.

We will continue on rating the goodiebags we receive at different fashion events, so we hope all brands will take the challenge and put some extra effort in arranging some new goodies for next fashion season.

Wanna take a hint?
Scarfs, books, accessories, make-up or food and drinks will do just fine!
