If you see me walking down the street, you know that I am in desperate need of an update from the huge black sack that I carry around with me daily. From books, to mags, to makeup and everything in-between, I feel like I need the world with me when I leave my house but not in such a “practical” (ugly) carryall (I just haven’t gotten around to it but I know, I KNOW I have to get on it *rolling my eyes and begging you to please look away*).

Enter B. Makowsky, which just might be the answer to my statement-bag prayers. Bruce Makowsky has created a luxurious, sophisticated collection made from the finest Japanese drum dyed leathers with a li’l something for everybody.  Need an evening clutch, a daytime tote, some braiding, some fringe, a touch of hardware? It’s all here. I especially love that the line comes in a range of colours, like saffron and tangerine just in time for summer strolls, and some blacks and ivories for classic styling,

The best part, B. Makowsky bags are totally affordable and accessible, available through The Bay, Brown’s, Macy’s, QVC, Nordstrom, Zappos, and other retailers.

Worth the double take, I think.
