Hello Darlings,
After a relaxing weeking with my nieces – two 
bagistas in training! – I’m back with more scoop in the form of a mini fashion history update and current celeb sightings.
In the 80s and early 90s Clara Kasavina’s hand cast and sculpted jewelry was worn by many (yup it was a jewelry brand before handbags. Those of us in our early 20’s or late teens may not know that – heck I wouldn’t know either were it not for the fact that my aunt once helped design some pieces… that’s another side story and odd twist of fate). Any who, after focusing solely on bags for the past decade, Clara is revisiting her love or as she tells me “we never stopped making jewelry. The evening bags are like jewelry.” In fact, the detailing on the clutches and day bags, the frames, the Swarovski embellishing, it is all the same meticulous approach the brand used in their jewelry design. What’s old is new again and you’ll be happy to know that just in time for the holidays Clara Kasavina is going back to its archives to produce some oldie, but goodies — of course are coming too!
Speaking of new pieces, on the recent issue of Essence, the lovely Beyonce wears a Clara Kasavina necklace. She picked out the piece and has since requested more styles. It’s only a matter of time before more Hollywood divas sport Clara’s architecturally-inspired, artful creations. Need a great holiday gift or want to indulge in some little luxuries for yourself, check out this unique ring under $100. More styles will be added soon!!
Have a bag-a-licious day!
