Blondie Mania was established in 2005 when Helen Thomas abandoned her 9-5 job where she was in the final throws of qualifying as a solicitor, to fulfill a lifelong passion for fashion and create her own collection of leather handbags. Gerard Zimmerman, already an entrepreneur brought his commercial skills to the project, giving Helen encouragement to get the business off the ground. Together with the leather craftsmanship offered by the husband and wife team Helen and Gerard met on their travels the first collection started to take shape and Helen's nickname "Blondie" became the Company's moniker. One trip turned into an extraordinary journey………
The mission was simple; to create handcrafted quality leather bags that offer both elegance and simplicity at a reasonably affordable price point. Blondie Mania bags appeal to the most discerning fashionista, as well as the working woman and yummy mummy. There are no boundaries on the target audience of BM. The buttery soft leathers gives each shape such character, whilst the exquisite handmade detailing and quirky pink linings gives the brand its individuality. Blondie Mania is about soft lines and understated chic - natural show stoppers!!
Today Blondie Mania supplies around 400 stores ranging from Fenwick to the Dorchester Hotel, Mayfair in the UK, as well as stores in Scandinavia, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Japan.
