I have coined this Spring season - "Island Hopping". I want you to feel as if you are being transported to faraway, mysterious islands that are lush, serene and exotic. A strong ethnic influence pervades the collection - Ikat motifs, woven textures, and earthy, neutral hues tell the season's story. Suitably, our muse for the season is India Hicks. She perfectly defines the island, luxury lifestyle. She is the daughter of the influential British designer David Hicks, and she and her family currently reside in the Bahamas. A world-renown interior-designer, Hicks’ plantation-style home, Hibiscus Hill, epitomizes luxurious island living!

While we can’t all enjoy a home in the Bahamas, we can all still be inspired by the natural beauty of these islands. Ultimately, my hope is for you to enjoy wearing your Elaine Turner accessories this season, which are inspired by these wonderful ideas of travel, fantasy and escape!


One of my favorite new bags of this season, Heidi, is without a doubt exactly how I want you to feel this summer: chic, feminine, exotic while at the same time being functional. I just love the bamboo handles—and the ease at which they slip over your shoulder—and the bamboo hardware turn lock. Exterior pockets make this bag secure but easy to use.
 

Our new crossbody bag, Olivia, is really easy to wear whether it’s every day or on a new adventure--- converting to a top handle tote--or a clutch, this bag keeps your hands free and has a fresh feeling to it.
 

I’m really excited to showcase my new heel of the season, Cole, because of its comfort, beauty and glamour. Each heel is hand made from bamboo, and the shoes are lined in memory foam, so you can enjoy them all day long!
 

Also, our new Francis sandal is so fun! This sandal is inspired by some of our favorite animals, and the large hand enameled decorative coins are designed specifically for my shoes. It’s a great sandal to wear all summer long, to baseball games and to the beach - I just love her, she makes me smile!
 

I hope that this collection can take you far away, even if you don’t stray from home! Fashion should be about feeling good, looking your best and capturing a mood. I hope you take your Elaine Turner bags and shoes with you wherever you go – whether it’s a family trip, a trip alone for relaxation and solitude, or a trip to the grocery store, to get ready for your summer BBQ. Please enjoy the season and continue to dream!
