ROYAL WEDDING ATTIRE

Friday April 29, 2011
Some of our bags and hats will be worn to the Royal Wedding! 
Inspired by the style and flair of Catherine Middleton, full of style yet understated  and elegant...we shipped two hats and four bags to be worn to the big event. Hopefully one or two will be paired with beautiful Nanette Lepore dresses, or a Donna Karen dress, and our custom designed hats to coordinate the outfit. Some of the possible color options and choices are shown below: Taupe/champagne, Navy, Ink, Lavender, Purple, Turquoise.

RED CARMEN ROSE BAG ATTENDS LEVINE SCHOOL OF MUSIC EVENT

We very often receive stories and tales which describe events and places which our bags attend on the arms of some of our followers. It is such fun to hear the stories and descriptions people send in. We love to share the latest bag dramas with you. Recently, our Carmen Red Rose Bag attended an opera music event by the Levine School of Music. The story behind this infamous Red Rose Bag arriving to make it to the owner and the event below is a whole other story in itself for another day! Below is one of our latest stories:

Dear S.,

Just took your fun bag for an outing last night.  The Levine School of Music had a lovely dinner and musicale at a fabulous Connecticut Avenue apartment, and I attended, bag in hand.  The rose fit in well with the decor, and it accompanied me as I passed through the foyer for cocktails, the dining room for a buffet dinner, and on into the living room for the opera recital--selections from Madame Butterfly and Don Pasquale by members of the Levine staff, introduced by Ken Feinberg (head of the Washington National Opera and arbitrator of everything from the 9/11 settlements to the BP spill.)  It was a lovely evening, and the bag was the hit of the party!

Thanks so much! 

Diana

Mark Twin Prize Honors Tina Fey at The Keendy Center

Out and about last night was our little pink party purse attending The Mark Twain Awards dinner and performance. All time greats such as Steve Martin, Amy Pohler, Seth Myers, and Mad Men star Jon Hamm. Our pink party purse was a hot item in a sea of gray, and black. The table decor for the dinner was simple, elegant and fresh...this little bag felt right at home next to Renee Kalil of Rizik's dres shop, Jacqueline Mars, and Jon Pohanka. Perhaps she should be named Tina!

Fun, Festive, Flirty

Spotted out on the town last night at a beautiful party, was an ole favorite, The Black Dahlia and Rose Classic Bag from 2003! It reminded me of the timelessness of anything black including your accessories. This bag has been out on the town many times, and brushed elbows with many celebs around town, but to see it shine after all those night out was exciting! My little black feather and fur Lady Poof was right at home sitting next to this classic, on the front hall table, and then upstairs in the Master bath where pink champagne was being served to all, by a lovely woman dressed to the nines in a french maid's outfit! Good thing we had our little black dress bags to keep the elevation of chic very high!

HOLIDAY PICKS!

It's that time of year! Let the holiday festivities begin with our new line of Holiday 2010 bags!

Folger Shakespeare Theatre's Henry VIII

Our neutral champagne rose feather clutch was an excellent choice paired with a neutral dress and jacket for the performance of Henry the VIII. The colors of the costumes were vibrant and rich and have inspired the Shakespeare Collection Henry VIII "Katherine" and The "Anne Boleyn" Bags. Rich in texture and color, these bags are regal and noteworthy for the fall and holidays.

Opera Bags

Placido Domingo's Washington National Opera's Bal Maschera recent performance inspired this one of a kind Opera Evening Bag Collection for the Holiday Collection 2010. The "Ursula" Opera Evening Bag, inspired by the character from Bal Maschera, is round in shape, black, full of beaded and lace detail inspired by the character's costume detail. It is versatile and classic and the perfect accessory for any evening outfit. Each bag is handmade signed and numbered. The Ursula is rich in detail and adorned with a classic beaded handle. No two are exactly alike. Enjoy!

It is with the bittersweet end of summer that brings in the season of festivities and fundraisers. Opening Nights and festivities begin again. Fresh new wardrobes, and accessories are needed to brighten up that ball gown or that little black dress. What better way to express yourself with that little black dress and a festive evening bag with beaded handle details.
