New York based designer Lia Cinquegrano takes a mishmash of materials and uses them to create bold and unusual handbags with her label Thomas IV.
Her handbags are produced in The Big Apple’s Garment Center, and really embody the casual, contemporary vibe of the city. She was compelled to launch the line as she struggled to find handbags that reflected her unique sense of style. There’s definitely nothing else like them on the market!
Cinquegrano believes that purses should be as functional as they are attractive, so you can count on the Thomas IV handbags to work for you. Functional features are cleverly incorporated into the designs. You’ll have to look hard to see the hardware and pockets, but they’re definitely there.
I don’t blame you for being nervous about carrying bags with so much color, but Lia Cinquegrano insists they’re easier to wear than you might think. They can easily become the statement piece in a monochromatic outfit, or even work with a colorful ensemble if you’ve got the confidence. They certainly won’t suit all tastes, but at least you can’t say they’re boring!
The Thomas IV bags are available from $240 from the fashion house’s website and selected stores in New York, Arizona, and Florida.
