Established in 2009 and based in Denmark, lommé bags are handcrafted by two designers in Copenhagen. The bags are made from coated canvas that is water-proof and treated with oils so that they age well. Each bag is made by skilled designers and they pride themselves that "each bag is unique, just like its owner." They were recently featured in Danish Elle and for good reason! These bags are hot and I am now a huge fan! I can't wait until these bags pick up steam in the US.

Who knows more about style than a rock star's wife and daughters? After rummaging through their mom's vintage closet, Alexandra and Theodora Richards (yes, Keith Richards daughters) found her favorite over the shoulder bags. Their mother, supermodel Patti Hansen, started to use the bags again, and with the help of her friend Molly Madden, decided to reinvent the design and produce the bags.

If you're looking for a fresh take on handbag design, look no further than the latest collection by JenMascali. The "it" bag is no longer relevant as we now venture toward the unique bags that represent our personality and personal style. Jen Mascali creates bags that are relaxed and appreciates the natural raw beauty of the leather she chooses.

I've recently fallen in love with the brand Lena Erziak. Their Fall 2010 line is to die for! Beautiful leathers and immaculate craftsmanship make this brand stand out against a sea of poorly constructed discount handbags. Lena Erziak was created by sisters Leona and Hasna. Their mother, a seamstress, helped them understand fabrics and construction. The sisters created their handbag line after collecting ideas from their travels and developed the collection in Italy.
