I fell in love with designer Clare Vivier’s eco-minded handbags and accessories during LA Fashion Week—a collection of high-quality canvas and leather bags, clutches and laptop cases at startlingly fair price points. Today, Vivier gives me even more reason to fawn with the limited-edition La Tropezienne tote, made from eco-tanned Italian remnant leather. It’s available via email order only (clare@seevivier.com), and, again, the outstanding price—$150!
There’s even a local story behind the bag: Vivier procured the remnant Italian leather from LA consultant and former shoe/handbag designer Adriana Caras (who used to have a boutique on Fairfax). Get the full story here.
