Leather jacket and fashion label Stella & jamie is the latest brand to add handbags to its fashion empire.
The bags take up where the apparel leaves off, with fringe, studs, chains, and grommets delivering the same rock and roll style. However the brand’s designer April Mun was quick to point out that the purses don’t sacrifice edginess for femininity.
“Stella & jamie bags are not rigid; even with the fringe and metal they are light and can be chic, bohemian and simultaneously, urban,” Mun explained. “They are free-spirited and yet, shaped.“
The Stella & jamie range will start small, with just six purses to be released in the first run this spring. There are more in the works though, including purses to be released as part of the label’s lower-priced ROCK line next spring.
But that’s not to say the current crop isn’t affordable. With purses ranging from $98 to $245, I think Stella & jamie offers us real value for money, don’t you?
