Jewelry designer Judith Ripka is spreading her wings into the world of handbag design with the launch of her first collection for QVC. The new line will make its debut today.
The range features a purse for every occasion, from large totes, hobos, and shoulder bags for daytime use to the smaller evening clutch purses.
The released image doesn’t really inspire me, as the material seems cheap and the design uninspired, but I’ll reserve my judgment until I see the rest of the collection. I won’t hold my breath though. Surely the very best designs are leaked to the media, right?
At any rate, at least the bags are affordable, with prices starting at $99 for the wallets and reaching up to $350 for the most lavish handbags. Do you think Judith Ripka has what it takes to stamp her mark on the world of handbags, or is this just another example of a designer that should stick with what she knows?
