This leather sling bag by Patricia Nash Designs was perfect for my trip to Africa this summer. It was just the right size for my daily safari. It wasn’t too cumbersome, but yet held my essentials. It also comes in other leather colors.

The Evening Bags. This season, your after-dark accessory is less a bag and more a piece of statement jewelry, dedicated purely to high-octane glamour. Forget subtlety we’re talking celestial, fully crystallized minaudières, slinky metal-mesh clutches that drip with decadence, and structured vanity cases in dazzling monogram clutch. Whether you choose a dazzling, hand-held box clutch or a plush envelope to tuck artfully under your arm, the message is clear, this fall, your small bag should be making a big, unforgettable entrance.

PARIS/64 | Brand Highlight

I would like to give mention to a luxury brand that I am forming a love affair with. Paris/64, a 100% Spanish Savoir-Faire. PARIS/64 is a MADE IN SPAIN brand of handmade and responsible manufacturing with the highest quality leathers and fabrics. With classic inspiration and a retro-vintage Parisian spirit.

They produce their bag baqs ethically and artisanally in their own factory located in Spain. Product design comes together with high-quality materials and finishes to create honest, sustainable luxury. All our bags have an inner lining that comes from a watercolor illustration.

Their inspiration is a mix between the hydraulic floor of modernism, mosaics, and the classic feel of Paris. They want each design to have a unique touch, an identity signature. Yes, a luxury bag that will hold up for the times. The photos below are from my collection.
