I took a trip to Southern California last week, to the infamous O.C. You know, the one you saw all those housewives from on reality TV! Well, like most of those shows, the characters you see on TV don't really represent the chicest of shoppers from those cities. Needless to say, I didn't see any of those TV "stars" during my trip.
South Coast Plaza is one of the most exclusive shopping centers in the country. SCP is a true destination for anyone looking for the latest collections from New York, Milan, & Paris.
Ferragamo was hosting a luncheon to thank VIP clients for their patronage, and to preview the resort/ pre- spring 2010 collections. The luncheon was attended by some really chic women. Those ladies know how to accessorize for a fashion lunch!
While the preview of next season was excellent, one current, Fall 2009 exotic bag stopped me in my tracks! The classic Ferragamo Sophia bag has been realized in gorgeous painted anaconda. Deep, rich color makes this the most versatile exotic bag I think I have ever seen. There are so many shades of red, burgandy, navy, charcoal - I can't think of a look you can't wear it with. Ferragamo Exotics are some of the most luxurious bags in the industry. The house is known for the craftsmanship of their artisans who specialize in working with skins. Ferragamo even has a true Made To Order program. You can actually custom order your own exotic bag from dozens of shapes and skins. This is a true sign of luxury, as most major houses don't have a program like this available.
One of the best things about this gorgeous bag is the price! At $3,750.00 it is a very reasonable price for a bag with so much detail in anaconda. It is no surprise to the die-hard Ferragamo clients as they know the value they have come to expect from this Italian fashion house of luxury. Having over 550 boutiques globally gives the house the ability to provide impeccable quality without charging insulting prices.
And just to make matters more tempting... there is also a matching belt! This one is unisex, so you guys have the option. This belt would be the perfect way to give a Navy suit an edge, or the perfect pop for a pair of charcoal trousers. Jeans of course would be a no-brainer! Brushed, matte hardware on both pieces also add to the versatility of the bag and belt. Priced at $450.00, I challenge you to find a more luxurious exotic belt out there!
One of the most glamorous women I met in South Coast Plaza was Tina Gerrick. She had a great sense of style and had such a great time previewing the collection and shopping all the new fall pieces in the boutique! Here she is in the boutique with the lovely Kelly McKee, who modeled the latest looks from fall and resort.
Since the recession of 08/09, you know that ever major fashion house has cut stock quantities. That means that gems like this don't sit around for months with big stock to back them up! Call The Ferragamo Boutique director to reserve your Anaconda Sophia Bag.
