IIIBeca by Joy Gryson Handbag Collection!

5 Mar

As you all know, I love a great handbag! Handbags complete your look and carry your “life” around for you!  What more can a woman want?  Once in a while a handbag comes around that has quality construction and is accessible to most budgets! Handbag designer Joy Gryson’s line IIIBeca is exactly that!  Not a single bag in the collection is over $200- talk about accessible!  I might be going out on a limb here when I say this, but these bags can hang with Hermès and Valextra creations in my opinion! ( Go ahead….google Valextra bags right now) The craftsmanship is impeccable and the clean, classic silhouettes are timeless!  You will own these bags for a loooooong time!  Ok~ now onto my other delightful piece of information about this collection…….. 3% of the proceeds go to three different NYC charities chosen by Gryson herself for a total of 9% being donated from the sale of each bag!  How cool is that?

Below are my favorite styles in the collection.

Olivia Wilde Designs a Bag for Charity!

26 Jun

Olivia Wilde has teamed up with Alternative Apparel with a goal in mind. She wanted to raise money for her favorite charity, the Academy for Peace and Justine, a school in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.  Wilde has designed a rugged leather trimmed army green convertible canvas bag that converts from backpack to cross body messenger in a snap.  All proceeds from the sale of the bag will benefit the Academy. Available at Shopbop for $138.
