this is spendid and one of a kind. nice one
What an unflattering photoshoot. All the bags look horrible in these pictures – everything is wrong; the backdrops, positioning against the hevaily leaved trees, etc. Only the model looks alright. Who ever organised this shoot? Too bad for the poor designer. Hope she didnt pay for this shoot or for placing them on this site – gosh!!
Except for three of the clucthes hiding too far away in the bushes,the whole idea was very good. as in out of the box.Don’t you think you are being too hard on the creative director Anna? It really isn’t that bad.
I agree with you there,she thought outside the box…Those hating are simply following the crowd and cant stand alone…Kudos girl,you definitely killed it in a good way!
Zandra
Sigh. I couldn’t agree more. Nice bags badly done photoshoot. Too much green everywhere
Nice
The last 2 bags are beautiful. More grease……….
haba! the creative director killed this shoot, and not in a good way! add a mix of really poor photography and alas!!! the model is cute tho and love the blue dress
I don’t know whether to look at the bags or the foliage…
couldn’t have said it any better. it was confusing
Look at the gym and shut ur fat ass up tiki go hating on skinny girls doing better than you
great..

Very lovely, she killed it.
The bags are one of a kind.. I cant wait to get my girlfriend one and she takes that as a token for the full bride price to come
See all this ones focusing on the photoshoot and criticizing, why not look at the bags and give ur sincere comments.. Abba!! Mean folks…. Kudos to the designer and the photographer jor. All na concept.
You certainly don’t know anything about image, branding and advertising
Branding and Advertising is key.
Anna!! Ode ni e o.. What can you call your own really? what do you do? see her mouth like unflattering shoot..
Nice collections..i just dnt like the fact that the bags were all positioned against those trees.
“Collections”?? !! My God- English Language has been ambushed!!!
hmmmmmmmmmmmn!!!!!!!!!!! Nigerians!!! u guys can never appreciate good things wen u see em!! abeg the shoot is awesome and the bags are to die for!!! i just oredered one on the website so if u havent ur dulling. Dorothy kudos!!
maine! i dnt rily no alot bout girls stuff but i think these are pretty good for a nigerian designer i actually thot they were kinda foreign..dnt have a girl to get one for like mr fujah up there but nice oone dere!
lol @ Fujah….token for bride price indeed.
Nice….
the bags look classy. Anna i know its very easy to criticise but really, what can ur un-artistic little mind make? i dont know who made these bags but i know theyr awesome. especially the pink one up there.
pls lemme know how i can order……
Lovely bags and d model is cute …….d location just dint do justice to dem!
I have to say that I love the bags! Wow; there is a lot of them and the varies shapes, textures and prints are great! Would love to see her design some shoes too! Great job dear!
I am feeling there is no originality in the bags. Did I not see these shapes/concepts from a Phillipino designer that supplies Nordstroms and Saks? I actually met her at Sams Club doing a special lately?
Cute bags and a very cute model. I Love ur dress.
lovely bags….
I think they should not have dressed the model in that gorgeous dress. It killed the bags. All I can see is the dress and its so beautiful. Where can we get the dress please?
Hello, please send an e-mail to buymeena@gmail.com
Cute collection, we need to encourage our designers.
Cute bags! the creative director had a vision but didnt execute properly. The bags are not equally original tho. seen alot of them way back….
l love the bags, u guys should take it easy on the criticisms because it is not beans to make these bags n every other thing that the designer did. Loved the model, she tall no b small.
WTH is this? mtschewww
nice dress for the model……….cnt say alot for the bags or the photography tho the idea was good
SNAKE IN THE MONKEY’S SHADOW. BAG – SNAKE, GRASS – MOKEY’S SHADOW. LOL

Can any of you read? It says inspired by Alice in Wonderland.
LOL. Thanks for reading the little detail at the top. A lot of people always miss that.
Didn’t realize that wonderland was a tropical garden with flowerpots. Thank goodness you guys are here to set us straight.
Love the concept

i luv d last 2bags. But sorry, i don’t seem to see anything “Alice in Wonderland-ish” about the collection. *Just Saying*
One word AVERAGE
For those of you who actually love the bags. Follow @dotfashions on twitter. We will be giving a free bag to one of our followers.
i wish the photographer used his/her lighting better these pictures would have been better if that was the case
or used lightroom or photoshop to edit the photos us the pictures look raw ….other than that fantastic bags lovely model lovely wonderland concept 
The bags inside bush looks like Gulder Ultimate Search.
The bags are definately different. I love the prints. The designer has definately got a fashion point of view, which is always a good thing. A complete collection with someting for almost every occassion. With time and improvements, I see this label doing seriously big things. Kudos.

The only pretty thing is the models outfit, the bags are horrible and so is the setting of the shoot.

#1 – LOVE the dress!
#2 – Poor shoot execution. The bags aren’t showcased properly
Dorothy! Miss dot ! Me n u both which 2 Nigerian designers u copied! I’m not naming names , but this is what happens when u copy! Average!
Interesting shoot.
Too many bags to begin with. I wish the shoot was done better. But kudos to the designer and the team behind this shoot because I know It’s a lot of hard work. I can’t knock that.
POOR photography its more about the model than the product
Niceeeeee
