Are you a sucker for a pretty bag? We are. Reviewing purses on a daily basis can get a bit routine at times but every now and then there’s a fresh new designer with a bevy of beautiful bags that grab our attention. Alexis Fallah is one of them. She makes pretty – no, gorgeous – Italian leather and exotic skin handbags. This West African-born/Oregon-bred designer uses only Italian skins, tanneries, metalwork and craftsmen to create her luxurious line of bags. These unique and artistic bags come at a steep price (what we would expect from Italian-made python and ostrich handbags) but right now they’re half-off on Swirl, Daily Candy‘s sample sale site. Here are our picks:
Top: The Floria clutch. A python clutch bag with Alexis Fallah‘s signature frame and exterior zip pocket. Lined in bordeaux napa leather with an interior zip pocket. $1250
The Dorsia clutch in crimson. A small python evening bag with a removable chain strap and complete with leather lining. $499
The Magda Shoulder Bag. A soft ostrich skin shoulder bag with Alexis Fallah’s signature frame and an exterior zip pocket. Lined in bordeaux napa leather, with an interior zip pocket. Two handles with 12″ drop. $2200
The Fidelia shoulder bag in indigo. A shoulder bag with a leather-laced chain strap and bordeaux leather interior with a zipper pouch and flap pouches. $499
