A new line of bags puts a fresh twist on classic looks
What do you get when you mix the panache of a European flea market with sleek python snake skin, a welcome dose of vintage flair, and a trusty pearl-wearing Chihuahua named Charo? Jane August handbags, of course! Sold everywhere from Fred Segal, to Bergdorf Goodman, to smaller boutiques in Singapore and beyond, this New York-based emerging accessories designer knows how to work her leather.
Originally an international fashion merchant, August draws her design inspiration from personal experience and memories of the past: "I don't necessarily like to be like other designers. I don't follow a trend. I don't copy anybody. I take inspiration from things that have been done in the past." Think old-school fashion magazines and '50s-era photos of her mother at swanky dinner parties. Made from the finest quality Italian leather and exotic skins, the glamorous collection is big, bold, and a whole lot of beautiful. Handcrafted in family-owned factories in Italy, each roomy piece is as unique as it is totally timeless and chic.
