There are big changes afoot at Judith Leiber, with the luxury minaudiere brand planning to expand its collection.
Designer Amis Garrigue will upsize the bags in the brand’s fall range. The slightly larger designs bring day-to-night versatility to the label. It’s just what you want at this price point, with new bags ranging from $995 to $1995.
But that’s not the only change happening at Judith Leiber. The fall line will also include costume jewelry through a partnership with Weingeroff Enterprises, the brand responsible for Jay Strongwater baubles. It’s a natural step for the brand famous for its love of glittering gems and attention to detail. Fragrances are next in line thanks to a deal with Palm Beach Beaute. We should also see Judith Leiber shoes on our feet by 2011.
“As we re-envision this iconic favorite for the next generation of luxury consumers, we anticipate more partnerships and possibilities in the next year,” explained Judith Leiber president Mary Gleason. “Our new direction has a modern appeal with a nod to Judith Leiber’s extraordinary legacy.“
I’ve always had a soft spot for Judith Leiber’s gorgeous and slightly garish minaudieres. The Cicely and Alleta from the pre-fall collection look beautiful, and wearable, so I can’t wait to see what will come next!
