Quote:

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".

ZUFI ALEXANDER - LOVE that Grey & Silver Leather Bag... am THRILLED to see a designer who is not afraid to put a REAL strap on a bag! Whether shopping, traveling, or just running around town, NOTHING is handier than a LONG body strap on a handbag. Today's bag designs are fraught w/ short "tote straps"... great to see some real straps again! Pretty bags, but useless straps as far as function. Bags should be BEAUTIFUL and FUNCTIONAL. Love the silver accents. GREAT BAG... you go girl!!

My favorite designer is Jennifer Alfano, becasue her designs are classy, stylish and so luxurious. I especially love the Lola Clutch in gold python. It's so beautiful!!

Clara Kasavina is my favourite designer. i especially love the Natalia Clutch.
i love the style and shape of the clutches. i guess it's my favourite cause it's just my style

Clara Kasavina - not many designers have classic evening bags - I love the look of these evening bags, so feminine chic!

[boxermom]

Sang A's designs appealed to me the most. Her use of color and the pleating of the exotic skins to make the bags stand out for me.

Honestly, most of the designers are outstanding. It was hard to select just one!

[sonya]

Ted Rossi because his bags are chic and classic.

I've been a fan of LAI for a while now... their lines are classic and chic. The fabrications are flawless and they have excellent quality!! You buy a bag from them and it'll last forever.

Couldn't take my eyes off that Ted Rossi Gold Python Clutch! Absolutely stunning.

The style of bags look unique, and they're roomy! I like the braided leather bag, and it makes it even more lovable that it gets softer and more broken in with use <3

[Taralindsey]

Clara Kasavina! I love her beautiful evening clutches. I picked her because I have a thing for clutches and hers were so elegant and feminine and classic!

[hovercraftier]

I love Angel Jackson because their snakeskin is a byproduct of the food industry; the snakes aren't only killed for their skins. And because they're sisters, and I approve of sisters who are close. And because the bags are so friggin' cute!

[jessicaelizabet]

Loyd Maish because I'm a sucker for a slouchy bag and those look yummy. But in the real world, I wouldn't have to just pick one

[Junkenpo]

Jennifer Alfano -- simple and elegant!
