LOEWE is one of the greatest accessory houses in the world of luxury, fashion & leather goods.

Therefor it's very fascinating to me to get a sneak peek of the making of an "Amazona" bag!

[ la boîte - the box ]

I'm all into small bags right now...

okay, these bags from the Spring/Summer 13 collection are MINI,

but I love the boxy shapes!

Precious like a little jewelry box.

[ déjà-vu ]

Remember that lady in the right picture (click here)? 

So here she is again.... with the cute leopard print "belt wallets" that caught my eyes the first time. This time she is combining the mini bags with a grey leopard print top.

I really love her style, awesome.

[ watch out for... ]

If you haven't heard of MONIKA CHIANG yet, it's time you get used to the name....
Monika Chiang’s eponymously named collection debuted in the Fall of 2011. The impeccably curated collection includes apparel, handbags, shoes and jewelry. The launch was followed by the opening of stores in Los Angeles and New York City (Prince Street).
Contradictory sensibilities combine in the most unexpected ways -
glamorous & elegant but tough, feathers & metal studs, soft earth tones & black leather, sheer knits & fur... statement pieces that quickly become a part of your daily wardrobe.
I love her bags & shoes a lot... especially the RAJA CLUTCH (picture above).
