Paris Perfection

Ok, it may seem strange for an accessories designer to showcase another line ... but we are talking Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton with Madonna on a shoot in Paris! I absolutely adore Louis Vuitton and before I dove into designing my own line, from 1986 to 2006 I carried a traditional (now vintage!) LV Monogram 25 Speedy and of course I still have it - and it's in good condition! 

But I digress ... On to the video I wanted to share - and to be honest I was more smitten with Madonna's clothes in this shoot than with the jewelry or the bags. The fabric combinations are killer, and the style - divine - pure Paris. The kind of clothes I see and wish I had designed, just for the pleasure of creating such concoctions! Anyway ... enjoy!

Victoria Black Rose Pocketbook

I've had so many requests for "just one more" of this Victoria Black Rose Pocketbook that I just had to see what I could do. I have enough fabric to make 3 more, but not enough of the fabric I used for the lining and upper band on the original. So, I've decided to offer to make 3 more, each will be a genuine one-of-a-kind even though they will all have the body made from the gorgeous (and extremely, if not impossibly, hard to find) black rose linen textured cotton decorator fabric.

I will create each with a different contrasting fabric for the band, lining and pockets, and quite likely each will have a different flat braid. I do have the same tatted-look lace. Buttons may also differ. Each bag, however, will be just as beautiful as the original.  For more details and ordering info visit the Victoria Black Rose page at  Mama's Pocketbook

It's so exciting to create something different each time and fun to mix the fabrics and see how they turn out. 

Will you be one of the lucky 3 who gets one of these? I guarantee there will be no more than 3 bags made with this material ever. It is no longer available and I'll be using all that I have on hand.
