Available from early April, Tamsin Cooper’s autumn–winter 2009 collection, Objects of Desire, includes pendant necklaces, winter wraps and Victorian-styled brooches. Colours, according to Cooper’s company, include ‘garnet red, inky sapphire blue, dark amethyst and dramatic jet black,’ along with hot pink, mandarin and peacock blue.
   When the economic climate isn’t the rosiest, there seems to be a greater emphasis on retro and vintage styles, and Cooper seems to have hit that perfectly. We like the velvet evening purse and handbag.
   They will be available at 100 retailers in New Zealand or online at www.tamsincooper.co.nz.

Tamsin Cooper Floral Scroll handbag, MSRP NZ$321.

Tamsin Cooper Victorian Scroll brooch, MSRP NZ$19·95 each.
