{ Purse Envy }

Being in the fashion industry gives you plenty of opportunity to feast your eyes on plenty of lovely things that immediately make you wonder why various objects haven't found themselves in your closet yet. I would know. I do it on the regular.

I was recently delighted to hear about the line 442 McAdam - a handbag line done in the most divine leathers in a variety of colours and shapes to suit the many needs and moods a fashionista would need. They were kind enough to send me a sneak peak of their fall/winter 2010 collection. Here is a peak of two types of their handbags:

It's designer, Sarah Shell is no stranger to the fashion industry as she has spent much of her time with other seasoned pros such as Catharine Malandrino, Yigal Azrouel, and BCBG Max Azria, for a number of seasons of New York Fashion Week shows. She's also had the pleasure of designing for Club Monaco. So, it's only natural that she'd want to strike out on her own and create her own line. 

Currently inspired by Eastern Europe's bohemian culture for her fall line, Sarah wanted to have purses that could transition for day to evening. Her collections demonstrate this ease, as the the straps, made with authentic rifle slings can detach. Her Marsha and Chappy handbags are my favorites of the collection.
The purses can be found in a variety of delicious boutiques across Canada (many are located in Toronto) or you can easily shop online at www.442McAdam.com  

Have a look at the site - which are your favorites?
Warmest wishes,
Christie Ressel, International Image Consultant
