Mischa Barton is taking another stab at a career as fashion designer with the launch of her new Mischa’s Place collection.
The actress, who shot to fame on the teen drama series The O.C., has created handbags since 2008. However this is the first time we’ve seen her releasing apparel, cosmetics, bath products, and other accessories including leggings and scarves.
As she made her first design foray with purses, it’s not surprising to see these accessories are well represented in the Mischa’s Place range. There’s a diverse collection of bags, from small wallets and clutches to larger totes and satchels. I particularly like the neutral color palette which features modern favorites like nude and mustard hues alongside traditional black, brown and gray. By opting for manmade synthetic skins rather than authentic leather, Barton’s kept most of the handbags priced below that magic $100 mark.
The complete Mischa’s Place range is available now from the label’s website before it’s rolled out into stores. Rumor has it that she’ll launch a Mischa Barton flagship store at London’s Spitalfields Market this spring.
Are you excited to see Mischa Barton expanding her design repertoire, or would you rather see this celebrity back on the small screen?
