Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I would like to know more about Ms. Leiber besides what is on the Wikipedia site. I was told that she ordered a handbag for a friend, but it came damaged and she glued crystals over the damaged part and that is how her business began. Is this a true story? Also, told that she makes a custom bag for each new first lady to carry to the balls. ??? Is there a limit of each design? Does she retire designs? Is gold plated used? What does she do now that she has retired? So many questions - I absolutely love the handbags. We have an exhibit of her handbags in the new Taubman Museum of Art, Roanoke, VA. The handbags belong to a private collector but Gallery Host are needed and I would like to be able to tell her history.

These bags are fabulous but they are very expensive. Do you have cheaper alternatives?

GlamourGirl & et al!! It seems almost obscene, neigh, sacrilegious to ask this question!! Here goes... 'does anyone know of a site selling these exquisite designs at a more affordable price? I know if I ever owned one of her designs I would have a glass box custom made, with discreet lighting to place the bag in, and admire it every day. What would you do?

These would be so fun paired with a wedding gown!! Nice post :)

These are all beautiful.

I cant find the football bag anywhere - saw it once & fell in LOVE!

I love the Spring Breeze Bag! It's so beautiful and perfect for any occasion! (I hope Santa's reading this)
