Such Stile

Check out Julia Stiles - looking quite chic in all white - wearing our Mimi Clutch in Alabaster Matte Fishskin with Gold Metallic Trim to the Creative Arts Emmy Awards in L.A. last weekend.

Vivre + Mimi = Love

Thank you Vivre, for spreading the love on our Mimi Clutch! This is the bag that Halle Berry carried to the Oscars earlier this year and has been seen on the red carpet ever since. We are beyond excited about all the Fish Skins we've been using for Fall and Holiday. These special pieces, available in glazed, matte, and metallic Tilapia, Cod, Perch, and Salmon have been sourced from the North Seas region and in the Lake Victoria area of Africa. Our Fish Skins are environmentally-friendly, as they are a by-product of fish caught for food and not animals raised for use of their skins...and are processed and tanned using Geothermal hot water at a hydroelectric power station.

And we'd like to thank...

Big hugs to The Pleat, who just called us the new IT handbag designer of the year. We are still blushing. xoxo.

Rebel Yell

One of our favorite insider fashion blogs is Belles and Rebelles. We love Megan's style and insider scoop on what's new and hot...and are so thrilled to be featured on her site. Check out what she said after seeing our new Resort 2011 Collection. Thanks for the shout Megan! See you next season...

Stripe It Up

We are thrilled to announce that the kelly locke collection is now available at the mothership of groovy shopping: Henri Bendel in New York! The collection will arrive on the floor during New York Fashion Week as part of a themed installation. Thanks HB! You made our day.

Kelly Locke Rocks

We've always had a passion for gemstones, particularly the Amethyst. What could be more inspiring than this purple beauty, with natural healing powers to boot? Imagine our surprise to see our Francke Clutch with the Kelly Cross in its full glory on the Vivre homepage this week. If you click a bit further, you'll find a lovely selection of our handbags and belts, and a peek at one of the faces behind kelly locke in our Vivre Brand Boutique. A big thank you to Eva, for featuring the Palermo Belt and the Lola Clutch with the Kelly Cross in Eva's Notes, her daily e-blast. We hope your friend enjoys the Rose Gold and Amethyst Lizard Palermo Belt she just ordered!
