Isabella Fiore Handbags

Isabella Fiore handbags are not designed by an Italian woman named Isabella Fiore; the name is Italian for "beautiful flower." Isabella Fiore are Jennifer Tash and Tranh Huynh, an L.A.-based pair of friends and business partners. Since 1996, these two handbag- and shoe-designing ingnues have been making some of the most exciting purses, handbags, luggage, wallets and shoes for fashion-forward females. High-profile celebrities like Katie Holmes, Kate Hudson and Madonna have been seen with Isabella Fiore accessories on hand.

Tash and Tranh have come a very long way since collaborating to design silk flower pins. After their debut in specialty boutiques, they started designing handbags and silk scarves. After designing and producing shoes for such prestigious clients as Saks Fifth Avenue, the L.A.-based duo are ready to expand by unveiling a stunning collection for 2005.

Vibrant and divinely detailed, Isabella Fiore handbags have an immediate impact. Metal studs, flashy tassels, braided straps and other amazingly unique details paired with delicious colours are only a hint at what these handbags have in store. With a definite flair for the freshest style and a ton of designs to choose from and a wide array of the hottest Hobos, including clutches, purses and wallets, Fiore has the handbag world on a string.

Whip Flash Audra Medium Hobo - Whipped stitching lends these bags their names. This bag is the "Katie Holmes" bag, not to mention some other A-list celebrities. The Isabella Fiore Whip Flash line has been extremely popular. The medium Hobo has loads of room and places to hide your things. Slouchy, flashy and fun, with tassels, vintage studs, chunky buckles and a metallic finish - how can you go wrong?

Whip Flash Alexia Large Hobo - The big sister to the Audra Hobo, the rich red brown colour and the studding make this bag a real standout. Slouchy like its little sister, the Alexia has more room. Whip-stitched and big-buckled, the Alexia is functional, fun and definitely an A-1 accessory.

Metal of Honor Ingrid Messenger - The Ingrid Messenger is a one-of-a-kind in design. Using two kinds of Italian leather, one pearlized, the top layer is die-cut to be laid over the bottom layer. This technique gives the Metal of Honor Messenger a unique dimensional look. With rich brown colour, vintage studding and the tassel pulls that Isabella Fiore puts to such good use, this bag deserves a medal of honour.
