Rebecca Minkoff isn’t the only one recognizing the hole in the bridal bag industry. The latest label looking to fill the gap is Fossati.
The brand looks to create “a limited-edition evening bag that would work for any special occasion but especially cater to brides on their wedding day.”
While Rebecca Minkoff may have the big designer name, Fossati’s accessories offer a little more luxury. Its wedding line is the result of a collaboration with renowned bridal and fine arts photographer, Laurie Tennent.
The Venice Evening Bag, a bridal favorite, pairs silver hardware with hand-picked lizard skin. The exotic leather is the ideal accompaniment for that big white dress, but after the ceremony it’d work just as well with everyday evening attire or even blue jeans.
“We wanted to create a limited-edition evening bag that would work for any special occasion but especially cater to brides on their wedding day,” explained designer Catherine Fossati Healey. “Every bride should have an exquisite handbag that compliments her wedding couture and is exquisite enough to pass on to her daughter.”
Anyone who’s ever planned a wedding knows bridal attire is never cheap. So perhaps it’s not so surprising to see the Fossati bags priced at almost $1000. That’s a big chunk of change, but unlike the ideal wedding dress we can at least use it after the big day’s done!
