The Let Dreams Blossom Bag is a shape we've seen a lot of, both in the main collections and Disney releases. Chip N Dale, Who? Moi?, Monty and Flounder are just some of mine and it's a style I reach for a lot as I find it a really convenient size, lightweight and not at all cumbersome. You'll likely recognise the silky, floral fabric on the Mulan bag, as it was also used in the Blossom Bunny range last year (came in black too). Along the bottom on the front is the swirly, scratched metallic that we saw on the Be True To Who You Are boots the first week. I think it's nice that they tie in without being too matchy-matchy.
On the small flap, you'll find an embroidered fan with long pink tassel, which again mirrors the design of those Mulan character heeled boots. Sitting either side on the front is a large applique Mulan face and Mushu. There's also artificial flowers dotted around.
The bag has one main compartment, with the small flap fastening with a magnetic snap and a hinged opening underneath which clips shut with a stud on a tab. Inside you'll see green metallic which is used throughout the linings of the Mulan collection.
The bag is edged in gold metallic with a short fixed handle and comes with a detachable, longer strap which can be clipped either side of the handle.
If the Mulan boots from the first teaser were too high for you, then fear not, there is a mid heel to perfectly coordinate with your bag. Let Dreams Blossom are a court shoe in that same pink floral with the artificial flower trims. It creates a really cool multi-dimensional effect, like the flowers are really blossoming.
They are slip-on with a rounded toe and mid heel height similar to current mainline styles such as Lady Ban Joe, Kanjanka or Nicely Done.
Across the toe on one foot you'll see Mulan, with Mushu on the other, again matching the bag.
Inside is the same green metallic and yellow satin with Disney and Irregular Choice branding and the soles are the same throughout.
My final preview this week, is part of the kids collection. This is the first time an IC Disney range has included children's styles. So Hot, I'm Cool are also a shape we haven't seen in the kids range before.
They have a real old-school Irregular Choice/Eastern vibe, which is fitting for Mulan. The uppers are yellow, edged with bright pink and embroidered flowers, Cri-Kee and Mushu.
The shoe extends up the ankle, tying with a pink ribbon and featuring Mulan holding a parasol.
Inside the lining is green metallic with the footbed in yellow satin and they have a pink rubber sole.
I hope you've enjoyed another sneaky peek at the new collection, I think I'll be getting the bag to hopefully match my Mulan boots and go with my Blossom Bunny shoes and likely a dozen other things in my collection! Anything here take your fancy?
The flower shoes are so beautiful!
