When Alice + Olivia launched in 2002, we immediately fell in love. The founder, Stacey Bendet, taps into our deepest desires and manages to create a lustworthy, over-the-top style with a plethora of oh-so-fun prints. While we love the brand and that Stacey incorporates her love of culture, music, art and vintage fashion into each detail of it, we had one major grievance – no handbags. Alas, she must have heard of despair because in February, Alice + Olivia will come full circle with a line of arm candy. Gwyneth Paltrow is already a fan (naturally!) and we can’t wait to grab our own.
With prices ranging from $295 to $645, they’re a breath of fresh air in a world that is dominated by four figure ‘It’ bags. Bendet designed each bag herself. She wanted to fill the accessory void in her life and have options from shopping to work to a party on Friday night. We hear you and we are grateful for the expansion. From colorful totes to adorable clutches, we can’t wait to get our hands on these.
