Lena Erziak drops another gorgeous collection

The Anthony
My love affair with Lena Erziak dates back to their decadent SS10 collection, which left me gaping (and predictably penniless). Their fabulous handbags just got even better this Fall, with a plethora of beauties named after, get this; Hollywood male celebrities. Having snagged four (count em’, four) of their creations, here’s the lowdown.
The black Valentino
Armed with a collection of eighteen stunning bags, sisters Leona and Hasna, the creative forces behind the label have outdone themselves. To recap: all Lena Erziak handbags are handmade in Florence, Italy with only the most luxe materials; think python and gooseskin galore. The best part is that the bags are very accommodating, even the seemingly tiny ones. You can easily fit in your Blackberry, lip gloss, assorted keys, camera, and everything else you could possibly need.
The Valentino: Already becoming an extremely coveted It bag, the Valentino comes in python and non textured and three gorgeous hues: a deep green, a slate grey and a black. The green is probably my bag of the season. With Lena Erziak’s signature tassel and light weaving in white with gold accents, it’s absolute perfection. This paired with anything is a huge boost to your self esteem and your look.
The Edward: Preppy enough to be the object of Blair Waldorf’s affection, this adorable bag with an oversize bow is too cute not to grab. There’s python and sumptuous leather in three colors; a deep crimson, a lovely beige yellow and the prerequisite black. It’s got a slight gold chain link leading t a short strap and enough room to hold a laptop inside.
The Anthony: A break away from their usually preppy chic designs, the Anthony is very Alexander Wang meets Yigal Azrouel. With a faux zipper slanting across diagonally, it gives off an air of rocker nonchalance that immediately catapults you to Becka Diamond-esque status!
My favorite is the basic black which comes in leather. There’s also a crimson. In python, there’s a captivating pale grey and blush pink. There are handy detachable straps for heavy lugging. 
The George: The only evening bag/clutch I snagged, this little beauty is classy enough to give Alber Elbaz a complex. Thrown with anything and everything, it will definitely transform the wearer into classy and elegant. It’s python body has a slight silk ruche cutting across it, adding to it’s delicate charm. The George is available in a mustard and sunshine yellow, red and maroon, pale pink and goose grey and black on black combinations.
Needless to say, I’m absolutely sold. You can head on over to http://www.lenaerziak.com for more information how you can be the proud (and stylish) owner of one of these or their other bags.
