Zufi Alexander • • •

Zufi Alexander was born in Dubai, educated in the U.S. and now resides in London, so it’s not surprising that when she launched her line in 2005 her bags were picked up by boutiques around the world and quickly had an international following. Since then she has been awarded numerous awards for her bold, unique designs, which have graced the arms of stylish celebs such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Moss. British Vogue went so far as to say, "If you want to be sure you're on the next Kate Moss handbag wagon, Zufi Alexander is a name you want to remember".

Her fun, witty, award-winning designs may be light-hearted in style, but when it comes to luxury and function they couldn’t be more serious.

Rebecca Minkoff • • •

Born in San Diego, California, Rebecca's first love was the art of design and began sewing at the age of 8. Although Rebecca's handbags have been a hit among the stars and women all around the world, she began designing clothing at the age of 18. She launched her clothing line in 2001, but it wasn't until her good friend and actress Jenna Elfman asked her to design a handbag for her next movie that the 'Morning After' bag was born.

Her clothing line had the details that one would expect in a well made garment and were cut to move over the body with ease. She took these ideas to her handbag collection, wanting to design bags for everyday women that were versatile in color and comfortable in style.

Rebecca Minkoff's handbag collection has been spotted on the arms of such celebrities as Hilary Duff, Bijou Phillips, Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, and Debra Messing to name a few.

Natalia Brilli • • •

Born in Belgium, Natalli Brilli originally began her career in theater doing stage and costume design. In 2002 she embarked on her graduate studies in accessory design at the acclaimed Institute Francaise de la Mode. She quickly landed a position at Rochas with Olivier Theyskens. While she was at Rochas she launched her own label of leather handbags and jewelry (often combining the two!).
Her handbags and jewelry are beautifully “sculpted” from leather and their dramatic, darkly romantic look reveals her background in theater. Her signature “pearls” decorate many of her bags, and wrapped in hard, sensual leather are a playful take on this symbol of ladylike tradition.

Brilli’s luxurious leather “art-works” are part feminine and romantic, part dark and dramatic, and thoroughly distinct, edgy and modern.
