FSB recently received an invitation to ascend to the private showroom of Lauren Ralph Lauren to view the brand’s newest addition to its chic product offering: handbags! Oh, yes, dear friends. The affordable line of clothing has added a chic collection of handbags just in time for your pre-Fall shopping and let’s just say that I’m obsessed. No, actually, obsessed isn’t good enough to explain how much I love these bags. And our Contributing Fashion Editor, Reese, is right there with me.

The label’s amazing new line of handbags for the line were carefully crafted by their in-house designer, who had access to the entire Ralph Lauren archives to pull fabrics, jacquards, leathers, designs, hardware – whatever she needed to make this spectacular bag line happen. The result is a line of handbags that crosses generations: ladies who crave Lauren’s posh American aesthetic will be pleased with the genuine leather and chic styles, younger customers will adopt the fresh silhouettes (crossbody, nylon and leather totes) and everyone will enjoy the quality at such spectacular prices.  All but two of the bags in the collection are $500 and under! When you’re Ralph Lauren, you can negotiate some great supplier deals for your clients, a benefit that shows in the immaculate quality of the bags.
