Akris' clothing is so well made, now their handbags are equally good as their clothes line. I cannot wait to see more of their handbags.

I also love Akris and can't wait to see more photos of these gorgeous bags once they're posted on the store websites. Many years ago I bought a simple Akris Punto tailored jacket when it went on clearance at Saks, and it still looks magnificent today. Unfortunately, the Akris medium Ai bag is far out of my price range, but sewing is my hobby and I'm planning to sew my own version.

PLS post a picture in the DIY thread and make an announcement here when you are finished. I make recycled jeansbags from my favorite jeans and Tees.

i've never even heard of this designer doing bags before, but those handbags are gorgeous! i love how clean and geometric they are.

I just posted a photo of my version of the Akris Ai bag on the DIY section of this message board. Here's the link: http://forum.purseblog.com/arts-and-crafts/does-anyone-make-their-own-purses-407585-6.html.

Have the Akris bags hit the stores yet? I still haven't seen anything about them on the Saks or Bergdorf websites.

nancy2001 That bag is too cute! You lucky lady! I still didn't have one in my hands.
You are really talented.

Thank you so much, Vanessa. I love the cute jean bags you've made, too. Sewing is a great hobby. Isn't it.

You are welcome, I wish I could share action pics of me. But who knows. Maybe they will get a blue Ai in my store one day.

Finally I was in the AKRIS store yesterday
I tried them all on. No - I don't think it is the biggest size Angelina wore in venice. I guess it is the large one. The XL is already a traveller bag.
I don't know how on earth I thought there is a blue one. No blue, but many beautiful neutreale shades. The decision is not easy ...
