As a designer I am always excited when my designs come out looking fabulous!  I have blogged about the Vertigo brand in the past few months.   We have many fun and trendy collections in production that I designed for the brand.  I designed the bags from first sketch through to production. I also handled all the product development since the handbag department was a new department for the company.  Right now I am the handbag department. (: I coordinated a photo shoot for the newest collection.  Here are some shots from the shoot, these are more for the website (not editorial).  When doing a photo fashion shoot for handbags its important to keep the bag the center of the photo.  As you can see the model is dressed in simple dark denim skinny  jeans, a black tank top and black booties.  Her hair and make up are kept simple.  The bags are meant to be the centerpiece in each shot. Check out a few shots here below: Design by Tara Sauva...

Love Gold Leather? Me, too!  I am excited to share our new luxe line of Italian leather handbags for Vertigo Collection.  This collection was designed by Tara Sauvage and made from Italian leather sourced from one of our tanneries outside of Firenze, Italy.   The "Vertigo Collection" features metallic golds, silvers and rich hues of full grain calf and cowhide.   It is fashion forward and has just a touch of rock and roll. Our model Jen, (who looks a bit like Gwen Stefani) is rocking the Vertigo collection in this recent photo shoot.   Let us know what you think!  My favorite is the Gold and Silver Toxic backpack/handbag. #toxic #vertigocollection #handbags XO Tara & Rocco

I have worked in mostly leather goods for the past decade.  I am currently working on a handbag project which involves fast fashion vegan leather handbags & accessories.  Fast fashion is a totally different animal than working in leather goods.  The factory turn around time is much quicker, the bags are very affordable and the shelf life of a fashion item is much shorter than traditional leather goods. Some examples of fast fashion include Zara, Forever 21, Nordstrom Brass Plum and countless junior brands.    I designed a bag I named the "Katy" bag a few short weeks ago.  It has already been sampled, featured in the fall fashion campaign and is going on a billboard shortly in Los Angeles.  Currently the bags are in production.  Talk about fast!  That was less than two months from first sketch through to production.  I handled everything from first sketch through to production.   The brand I am working with is a conte...
