In a recent Daily Telegraph article, Madonna was featured in a story about how women aged 50 plus are faring best in this recession, having landed the most jobs, and having set up the most businesses, according to a report by the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development. Great news for our typical Dents customer then, who will have more spare change to invest in Dents pieces!
This economic group, dubbed the “Madonna Generation”, is not only upping its game in its determination to get a job, but also branching out into less stereotyped female jobs such as those in technical fields, or managerial roles…. One small step for mankind, one giant leap for feminism!
Or could it just be that this generation of strong women is the most demanding in what they expect from themselves? Nowadays, more and more women of a mature age seen in the press have the figure and youthful complexion of women 10 years their junior. Look at the likes of Susan Sarandon, Helen Mirren (both of whom are over 60), and Michelle Pfeiffer. However, it’s not all just down to the way you look – often how you dress has as much, if not more, of an impact.
Madonna herself was shown in the Telegraph feature in a picture from her W.E. Premiere at the Odeon Kensington in January, wearing a stunning Dsquared dress with an equally beautiful Dolce & Gabbana cape – paired with a pair of red fingerless leather gloves! Just goes to show that what you wear can reflect the forward thinking person you are… I doubt we will see her Madjesty in a Marks & Spencer cardigan anytime soon. In fact, she is a lover of fingerless leather gloves, having worn a Chanel pair in a surprise appearance on stage in Miami in March.

There’s a distinctly nautical flavour to Dents’ Spring / Summer Collections… I can almost taste those sea breezes from here

Hello Everyone!
My name is Fran Rebecca Walker, and you’ll see me around Dents social media keeping you up to date on our latest news and offers, so you will hopefully see many more blog posts from me! I wanted to let you all know that if we get up to 500 likes on our FB page, Dents will give 20% off all non-glove items from their website through an exclusive online discount code that will be posted on our Dents FB wall once we reach this target. It would be great to give you all this discount BEFORE Christmas time! For instance, who wouldn’t want a Dents bag or wallet for Christmas? So ask all your FB friends to like the Dents FB page and get involved! My personal faves, which are now scribbled down on my Christmas wish list are the Leather Crocodile Print bag in Cognac, £165.
and the Dents Large Leather Handbag in Teal £145
For my fiancé I really like the Men’s Faux Sheepskin Trapper Hat £26 . It will keep his ears nice and warm when he walks our dog during the Jan – March months that’s for sure!
And I’m going to have to buy my dad the Reversible Leather Belt also £26 in Navy and Tan or you can get it in Black and Brown as well! He needs a good belt like this for his golfing tournaments.
I only hope I can have the DENTS 20% discount before Xmas, so I can treat myself (and my family and friends)!

We’ve all seen pictures of the hats, formal day dresses, top hats and tails, but most regulars at Ascot will tell you that the reality doesn’t always match up – our thanks to Karen Andrews, a long time Dents Factory Shop customer for this glimpse of the real world. Karen and her friends had got soaked at a rainy Ascot the day before, so they were keen not to have a repeat. They visited our shop, and left with six of our lovely frilly spotted umbrellas, as well as a multitude of other accessories – we think they looked fabulous.
The forecast rain didn’t materialize, so they didn’t need their umbrellas after all – all the same they came in very handy as walking sticks at the end of the day when their killer heels started to make their feet ache!
