Individuality means everything to Californian handbag designer Linda Masquefa. No more than five Linda Masquefa minaudieres of a single design are ever produced.
“I wanted to go for exclusivity,” the designer explained. “If a woman has my bag, she won’t see it walking down the street.“
Each Linda Masquefa bag is handcrafted with exotic skins from Italy, including lizard, ostrich, calf hair, leather, python, stingray, and her favorite, crocodile.
“I believe it’s so elegant, so pretty, so classic,” she explained.
The simplistic designs lend themselves as easily to a dinner date as a glamorous soiree.
Considering their exotic skins and limited status, Linda Masquefa purses are surprisingly affordable. The pieces are priced between $800 and $2880. They are available from selected American boutiques and Linda Masquefa’s online store.
While Linda Masquefa currently specializes in clutches, she hopes to design day bags, a pet carrier, and belts. I love what I’ve seen, and can’t wait to see what Masquefa can do with a larger canvas.
