Thalé Blanc Designer Profile

Over the past few weeks, a set of clutches have been catching my eye…the exotic print, the gem tone colors, the gorgeous crystal clasps, the luxe leather lining, the sleek shape, I could go on and on. And to find out that these handbags are a first collection from new line, Thalé Blanc; my curiosity was peaked!

Luckily for me, Thalé Blanc Designer, Deborah Sawaf, is in store today to showcase her gorgeous Holiday 2012 collection.

As she walked me through her collection, one icon stood out – the cheetah. The cheetah, Deborah explains, “is the most beautiful animal in the wilderness,” and like the cheetah, the Thalé Blanc woman stands out in a crowd. No wonder I liked these handbags (wink, wink).

Deborah also gave me a little sneak peak into Spring 2013, which is rich in color and Art Deco influences. Get excited!

EDIE PARKER: ACRYLIC GLAMOUR

“Maybe you’ve noticed those brightly colored Lucite clutches lately in the pages of Vogue or WSJ magazine. Or in the hands of Diane Kruger, Giovanna Battaglia, Katy Perry, and Elizabeth Olsen…” (Forbes.com)

Meet Brett Heyman, the founder of Edie Parker handbags, in the above video. Edie Parker bags are quickly gaining acclaim for their unique design, reminiscent of the clutches carried by 1950’s socialites and showgirls.

Korshak Q&A with Carlos Falchi

The saying “the apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree” has never been more true than in the Falchi family. Creative in spirit, Carlos Falchi, started the family business nearly 40 years ago using exotic skins and colors to set his handbags apart from a sea of solid leather. In recent years, his daughter Kate joined the company as a designer and is passionate about carrying on her father’s legacy.

When asked what makes his line special, he says, “I think it’s the whole process because I develop all the skins and materials…it starts with the raw materials because we put a lot of love and care developing it.”
