Jan Klier Photography-Sexy!

Image
Jan Klier, a talented photographer friend of mine who is based of NYC, did a small photo shoot for me.  It is interesting to see how the background and lighting of a shoot can make it appear sexy or dramatic.  He took a few simple wallets and iphone cases and some lighting skills and made the items appear very luxurious and fabulous.   Its amazing what a little fur and black background can do!










Very good shoot!  Designs by Tara Sauvage.  www.tarasauvage.com

These bags are Italian leather, made in China.  These items are not yet available - check with us in 2013.

Amazing Italian handbag hardware...

I met this really great family owned business in Milan that manufactures and has traditional and unique hardware for handbags and leather goods. In fact, I liked them so much that I decided to help them to bring their business to the USA market. They have great quality hardware and I like the fact that they are a family run business and they can do smaller MOQ for custom hardware!

Check out their online catalog here, and if you want to order something please feel free to contact me or contact them directly, I teamed up with them to help with the USA market.

Then the other people who own guns went on a rampage and say that they have the right to own guns and it is mental illness and not guns that are killing people. The argument could go on until the cows come home. This post is not about the arguments.

There is another aspect that needs to be looked at closer.  That is the disconnect in our society. We have more money today, we are more connected than ever with our digital devices, but at the same time, we are more disconnected.

Now children do not come out to play. Instead, they sit inside their bedrooms playing video games or watching youtube videos. Tweens and teens spend hours on Instagram and social media. A generation or two ago teens met after school at the local burger joint. They talked to their friends in perso…
