Some girls yearn for Jimmy Choo shoes, others Tiffany's jewels, but my obsession is a soft and subtle leather handbag in a given season's hot color. An oversized bag to sling over my shoulder is perfect to hold my essentials for a busy, productive day. Not just another accessory to store a wallet and iPhone, a handbag is an investment for one's wardrobe. A quality bag is a true piece of art and a great way to add personality to an otherwise simple outfit. It is often the handbag that lifts a plain black outfit, commonplace on the streets of Manhattan. A good bag fits comfortably over the shoulder, is made of durable materials and has the same attention to craftsmanship on the inside lining as the exterior. A well-designed bag combines utility with style and thus the hunt for the perfect handbag can be just as exciting as the find!I am fortunate enough to enjoy the travel benefits of a family member and consequently many of my favorite bags were purchased during Milan's summer sale season. I have always preferred the smaller designer names over the more popular luxury labels. One of those smaller brands belongs to Mitzi Baker, a California designer and longtime favorite of mine for years, after having discovered a tangerine hobo bag at a local TJMaxx. Baker's signature bold use of color and shape has been featured in prominent fashion magazines and her logo is noticeably absent, allowing the designs to stand alone on their own merit. Along with the current Mitzi Baker collection, the company’s website also carries a few of last season's bags at a substantial discount. Production is limited and sells out fast, so get your favorites before they’re gone! Click here to visit mitzibaker.com.
