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.

Mei Vintage mixes beautiful vintage kimonos and leather remnants to create one of a kind handbags.  Based in Hermosa Beach, Ca, Alice Huang handcrafts her pieces right here in the US.  She believes in using sustainable materials in order to prevent waste.  Alice began collecting vintage kimonos while in college in Hawaii.  Her collection paid off when she created her handbag line, Mei Vintage.  Mei is Chinese for beautiful and her bags are truly

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 Jen Mascali.  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. 

Madison Kelly NYC is a brand we've been loving for some time now.  We had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing her last October at her Preview Party in Beverly Hills.  Now, you can get an exclusive look at the Fall Collection!  Made in NYC, designer Kelly Horton needed a bag to obsess over.  The end result is beautiful exotic handbags at affordable prices.

 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.

 I may be a little late jumping on the perforated leather trend, but this Linea Pelle Dylan Perforated Shoulder Bag has me hooked.  Most of the perforated leather bags I found were too sporty for my taste.  Linea Pelle, however, seems to have hit the mark with this spring trend.  The only problem I seem to have is which color to choose.  What do you think, dear readers, the classic off-white or deep purple?

Rugged, musty, tough and with an urbanized grunge, The FRYE Company has been around since 1863, making structurally beautiful yet very brawny leather boots. Their handbags have been a long time in the making, and also mold and stay true to The FRYE Company's rugged appeal like their footwear. FRYE captures the essence of the American lifestyle with its heavy influence on the 1960's American fashion, because Woodstock just would not have been the same without the leathers of FRYE.
