Francesca Joy’s hand-painted canvas totes in megawatt primary colors are the must have this summer. Launched last February by the artist Elise Francesca Fargnoli, the tanks quickly became a cult object in Palm Beach. “My idea was to the Art back in fashion,” says Fargnoli. Her goal was to create a tote that looked bright and sunny, “something very original creation but is also practical for the beach or the street.” The bags are made in North Carolina and painted in the studio of the artist in Pomfret, Connecticut. They are surprisingly practical and robust. Do not worry if they catch a wave on the beach and the color retention and no chip.
It is not easy to launch a new betting company that largely “owned” by the big catalogs. As she had virtually no budget for PR, Fargnoli, who went to Pomfret and Mt. Holyoke, relied extensively on its “old guy” network that really came through for her. Next Francesca’s Joy Ventures is a line of pillows and towels, more t-shirts, and of course her signature summer baking. Check the website for www.francescajoypb.com styles. You can place an order online or call 866-249-6768 orders@francescajoypb.com. Prices for the boxes range from $ 80 – $ 110.

Bulgari actress Isabella Rossellini, together with a new line of handbags collection aptly called the Isabella Rossellini launch.
The partnership makes sense. Rossellini is an influential style icon who is also a long time customer of Bulgari. The daughter of Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini, she grew up in Rome and began visiting the Via Condotti Bulgari store with her mother. As her acting and modeling career developed, was frequently photographed wearing Rossellini Bulgari Jewels appear on the covers of Vogue and numerous other international journals.
For several months, Rossellini worked in close contact with designers to a Bulgari bag that would express her personality. The end result is the “Rossellini”, which is a sleek yet modern handbag is distinguished by simple, essential lines and a Twist Lock decorated with gemstones.
The handbags will be offered in a variety of colors and materials including patent leather, pony hair and calf.

I recently had the pleasure to be introduced to the world of Sam Cross through the miracle of Twitter. Sam Cross, handbag designer extraordinaire. Sam is designing handbags for just over 15 years it began as the progression of her visual art and sculpture studies. Myself and Sam have a bit of a fetish for the position of handbags and shoes. Sam developed her design business of sewing and cutting pattern of her mother and the rest is self-taught seamstress.
This season Sam releases her cloth Magpie range – Sam described to me that the concept behind the series “was born from a desire to address some of the fantastic vintage textiles I have collected over the years into something beautiful and functional turn – in sense, to breathe new life into them ”
The canvas Magpie range of stylish handbags is a set of forms in a wide range of vintage prints. The nature of the materials and their limited availability means that only a small number of each form / fabric combination will ever be done, hence the limited edition status assigned to each bag.
As with previous collections Sam’s, each bag is handmade in Britain, either by himself or the lady carefully selected skilled craftsmen. This aspect of the production is something that Sam says she “has always stood firmly and now, in our current economic climate is even more relevant to me.”
