I love Christmas as much, if not more, than the next person. I love getting together with family, singing along to Christmas carols, eating and drinking too much, and of course the presents. But there’s another reason I adore this time of year: all those gorgeous holiday handbag collections! The latest to turn my head is the seasonal range from J. McLaughlin.
“We took a little liberty with our holiday 2010 collection,” explained Kevin McLaughlin, the New York label’s creative director. “Party dresses – usually the main event – are just the appetizers.“
The collection features ready-to-wear apparel and scarves, but of course we’ve only got eyes for the purses. They include an elegant matte leather hobo, a sophisticated black croc embossed clutch, a leather trimmed cotton Dorchester Tote, and a wool tartan porthole bag which is available in two different plaids.
Prices are relatively reasonable for a limited edition line, with the clutch priced at $155 and the hobo topping the range at $325. Will they make your Christmas wish list? If so, make sure you point your loved ones to the J. McLaughlin boutiques around America, or the label’s online store.
