Carlos Falchi’s exotic skin designs are something to behold. His multiple decades of fashionable handbags were even commemorated earlier this year at Bergdorf Goodman.
Despite his celebrated fashions and established status, the current economy has taken a toll on nearly every luxury company’s sales. This along with other past financial mistakes has spurred Falchi to attempt a resurgence by appealing to a different clientele without losing a well-deserved standing in the fashion world.
Carlos Falchi’s personal insight into his past and present situation can be discovered in a recent piece by The New York Times. The article traces back to his beginnings in the industry, describes his recent budget-friendly appeal with lines for Target and HSN, and even some lifestyle insight from his own wife.
As gregarious as Mr. Falchi is — he helped many designers create their accessories — he isn’t a regular at industry events. “In order to have a family life, he needs downtime,” Ms. Falchi said. With a laugh, she added: “Let’s be very clear — Carlos has burned the candle at both ends. He didn’t need a reason to go to Studio 54.”
