The Low Country in South Carolina will get America’s first Brandina Handbags store. The Italian label’s premiere US boutique will open on King Street next month.
Brandina accessories will bring the “essence of the Italian Riveria” in the 1950s to the United States with their casual resort styles and bright, bold colors. In fact, the bags are made from the same fabric used on vintage Italian sun loungers and beach chairs. That should make them ideal beach bags, because we already know they can withstand salty sea air!
Brandina recently hit the headlines when its casual handbags were part of the swag given to presenters at the Grammy Awards. I’m sure the Italian label are counting on those musical stars carrying those new Brandina bags around soon, preferably in front of some paparazzi lenses!
The South Carolina store is the first Brandina boutique to open outside Europe. Currently the purses are only available at Bottega Brandina stores in Italy and Spain. The label is also contemplating opening outlets in La Jolla, Laguna Beach, Miami, Coral Gables, and Las Vegas. It sounds like Brandina’s got big plans for the United States. Do you think America will embrace this casual handbag label?
