Brian Atwood launches handbags

Shoe designer to the stars Brian Atwood has launched his first-ever handbag collection on Gilt.com, the members-only online retailer. His debut collection will be exclusive to Gilt for the complete first season and features four clutch styles ranging in price from $1,050 and $1,850.

The luxury line includes, a basic envelope clutch that comes in an array of materials and colours from cobalt blue suede to colour blocked snakeskin, two miniaudiere hardcase styles, and a leopard print pony hair clutch with a zipper closure and front snap pocket.

"Shoes and handbags are extremely important; they can make or break the outfit. I always design for a certain woman who is very confident, sophisticated, loves fashion and isn't afraid to laugh at herself every now and then," said Brian Atwood regarding the collection. "What I love about Gilt is that it has a sophisticated customer and it brings an energy and excitement to online shopping. Gilt couldn't be a better partner."

"At Gilt.com, we love the opportunity to offer our members the most exclusive and exciting experiences," said Jyothi Rao, General Manager, Women's. "We are thrilled to launch this partnership with Brian Atwood, making Gilt the exclusive retailer to launch his first-ever handbag collection."
