Kudos to our North East rep!

Thanks to Mel D!  She is our rep based in upstate New York.  She presented Valerie Bertinelli with a PURPLE PERFORMER pouch the other day!  We're hoping Valerie enjoys using it on her long walks and during her exercise regimen!

Inspiration

Today I went to the Art Show at the Park Av armory.  Seeing the beautiful sculptures, paintings, drawings, photography, and collages by some of the most famous artists, such as Calder, Klimt, Avedon, and Miro, is always fantastic.  However, I found the color combinations of Frank Stella most inspirational!  Perhaps I am responding to color because this spring and summer are all about COLOR!  Look for new colors is the Barrel Clutch!  I will also have new versions of our Bedford Clutch as demand for it has been loud!  And we respond to what our customers ask for!
