Are you a structured bag designer at senior level, experienced in working with PU and fabrics looking to add your own ‘stamp’ to our Accessorize range?, if so then we would love to hear from you!
We have a unique opportunity for a creative Senior Bag Designer to join our inspirational Accessorize Design team working on our Far East and Indian Bags, Purses & Belts collections. Accessorize is a fast paced and exciting Company with continual growth potential. This role will see you researching seasonal trend direction and translating this into Accessorize ‘must haves’. Producing design briefs, reviewing our development processes, managing the critical path for your areas and managing the team’s budget are also key. You will contribute to team strategy and drive the brand forward by challenging and developing accessory ranges working closely with our Buying team. Overseas travel may be required.
We’re looking for a special someone who has extensive design experience of bags, belts and purses from a multi-accessories background. You will be able to demonstrate your design flair and an understanding of the Accessorize ‘handwriting’. You will have a fabulous sense of colour & drawing skills, and will enjoy working to high standards & delivering profit to the business. A strong passion to work for Accessorize with the ability to design product with a unique point of difference from our global competitors are both vital. With excellent presentation and communication skills, you will also be confident in presenting at a senior level. Strong people management skills are a must reflected in your ability to lead, motivate, and develop a team of Designers. Previous experience of working with suppliers in the Far East is desirable. Ideally you will be competent with Photoshop; working knowledge of Illustrator is desirable. If you are able to demonstrate a commercial understanding of both the accessories market and Accessorize customer, then this could be the role for you.
