The story of Marla Cielo started in New York City, when artist, Andrea Tobin, found her inner calling to create wearable works of art for people who have a passion for creativity, as well as fashion. Each handbag is made from a canvas painting that Andrea creates herself which is then weaved into each Marla Cielo purse. We love that each Marla Cielo piece is original and made from Andreas desire to create creative and functional product.

We may not be in Kansas, but Dorothy certainly updated her straw basket with this season's new chic tote.

Well, it is no secret that this season straw is filling the stores for every occasion; including our perfect day at a beach, or a girls night out. These designers are taking straw to the next level in every shape and style from crossbodies, satchels, and wristlets. For all you bagistas out there, the straw trend is making a comeback!

Floral denim however, is an essential trend not to be missed!
