Lena Erziak: New York Showroom Visit

Currently located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, an unassuming brownstone hides treasures within created by Leona and Hasna Erziak. These two sisters with their multi-cultural- Belgian/Morocccan heritage and world travels achieve their inspirations on their journeys and their deep-rooted love of elegant classics.

Their current collection shines with classic design, sumptuous skins and delightful details. Calfskin, Pony Hair, Ostrich, Python and Suede are skins of choice this season. Special finishes of acid python with a washed metallic look, glazing, sueded python on the top and bottom side of the scales for the ultimate softness and 80.6% gold leaf on embossed python. Pigskin interiors are reminiscent old-style luxury.Soft shades of soft aqua, browns, soft blue, violet, and black accentuated with a pop of zebra print! Petite lady bags to oversized … and I mean HUGE shoulder bags for the girl who needs to pack it all.

Then there’s the little something new and unique that identifies each bag by season. This year, it’s the bumblebee. Chic gold-tone bumblebees embellish the front of many of the new styles. The iconic Lena Erziak emblem on others. The bee was chosen for it’s recognition as a worker bee as in women are the worker bees. (I would heartily agree on that point!) But also because Leona’s son watches a show featuring a bee!

Celebrities are embracing the brand and you are sure to see some of the most photographed women in the world carrying a Lena Erziak Bag.

The Valentino (shown in blue) is worn by Charlize Theron and Halle Berry.

The John (shown in brown pony hair and aqua python) is my personal favorite! I am loving the lady like style with the soft skin and beautiful bee accent. $1180

The oversized Jim Large will carry everything and then some more!

As a newer line the price point is better than some established lines. So get them while you can afford them. The line is quite young but gaining ground fast with boutiques in the U.S., France, Japan and Italy as well as online at Lena Erziak
