As the world’s leading fashion designers take to the runway to show their latest collections in New York City, QVC will once again offer viewers a front row seat. Tune in to catch the latest collection of the luxury handbag line from Brazilian supermodel and television personality Camila Alves.

Muxo by Camila Alves is scheduled to air Friday, February 10 during QVC’s presentation of Fashion Week – Live from New York.

Fashioned from the finest quality leather with hand-stitched details, MUXO closely resembles its sister line of couture bags, which came about when Camila was modeling in New York City during her late teens.

Due to the immense popularity of Camila’s last two collections for QVC (they have sold incredibly well and consistently garner 4-5 out of 5 stars from customers on QVC.com) the network is dedicating an entire hour for her MUXO line on Friday, March 30 at 8pm ET.

All of the pieces in Alves’ new collection range in price from approximately $180 – $300. The bags are all fashion-forward and functional.

Leoluca Handbags is debuting their first collection this Fall/Winter.

Leoluca Handbags offers classic styles with a contemporary twist, all locally made in the USA and available at LeolucaHandbags.com.

Founded by design duo Emma Lezak and Lauren Letizio, Leoluca Handbags debuts their first line of contemporary women’s handbags with their Fall/Winter 2011 Collection. The initial line consists of classic styles created with high-end materials, quality craftsmanship and a trendy finish. To top it off, the stylish duo supports localism by sourcing all materials and labor all within the United States.

The fashionable twosome, who has been best friends for the past 15 years, took inspiration for the signature line from Italian Saint, Leoluca and Italian mobster, Leoluca Bargarella – in which the dual meaning is derived from both good and evil. “We were striving to do a classic bag, but one that’s edgy at the same time — bags that embody both Leolucas. Good and evil,” says co-founder Lauren Letizi.

The Fall/Winter 2011 Collection debut consists of genuine leather materials – some with ostrich embossing – and a variety of styles including: large totes, cross-body bags, shoulder bags and envelope clutches. Additional detailing includes metal studs for an edgy finish. While each handbags exterior is impeccably crafted, the interior is not overlooked. Each bag is lined with silk material in a sassy color or print and includes various style pockets.

Their debut collection includes:

• Frances Black
• Josie
• Frances Cream & White
• Winter
• Sebastian Black
• Stella
• Sebastian Cream & White

Leoluca Handbags are currently sold at LeolucaHandbags.com.

ABOUT LEOLUCA HANDBAGS

In 2010, Emma Lezak and Lauren Letizio founded Leoluca Handbags. Both born and raised in Wooster, Ohio, it was hard for each to visualize a career in fashion, much less, starting a fashion business. The stylish pair both attended Wooster High School and graduated in 2003. They have been best friends for the last 15 years. Knowing that Wooster, Ohio didn’t have much of an opportunity for fashion nor design Emma and Lauren decided to move to San Diego, CA in 2005.

With Leoluca Handbags, the pair wanted to create something that would be useful to women in any location, at any age, and in any season. The duo designs and sketches each bag together. All quality materials and labor are sourced within the United States.

The name, Leoluca, is derived from an Italian Saint, Saint Leoluca as well as an Italian mobster, Leoluca Bagarella. The duality of the name helps show case their line, edgy but classy. Leoluca Handbags are the epitome of classic style with a contemporary twist and are perfect for every girly girl with just a hint of edge.

For a working girl in the big city, you’ll need a purse that is large, practical and all over stylish.  There’s nothing worse than looking like you’re carrying a briefcase a la 1987.  In order to keep your life in order, it’s time to upgrade your everyday handbag to one that will take you from day, to work, to night, to the train home in one piece.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Weavy T Francesca is the go to bag.  The textured PVC handbag features a studded leather patch with Marc Jacobs signature turn-lock closure.  The piping is featured on the front and back seams and studded wrap around leather strap at the sides and bottom. The bag is accented with gold hardware, while the double quilted handles and detachable strap make it easy to transport from home to work and vice versa.

Many celebs go to Aspen during the Holidays to escape the bright lights of the Paps in L.A. or NYC.  With the way Jessica Simpson left her place in Aspen, it looked like she wanted to be noticed.  Toting around a leopard print tote we couldn’t help but seek an opportunity to find something similar.

We found Juicy Couture’s Leopard Print Velour Day Dreamer Tote at Bloomingdale’s.  It features a black oversized bow, buckle straps and heart charms as well as double shoulder straps, front zip pockets and Juicy’s signature logo.  Conceal your belonings with a magnetic closure and single side pocket.

In our opinion, Tory Burch can do no wrong.  Especially when she’s creating a handbag.  However, in this case, she created a backpack.

The quilted nylon backpack features Tory’s signature logo medallion, a front zip pocket, a buckle strap detail and a magnetic snap flap.  This would be perfect if you ever decide to climb to the top of a mountain whilst still looking chic, or…if you just climb the stairs to the top of the Statue of Liberty.  This bag also features zip pockets at the front and sides and tonal canvas and contrast leather trim.  The adjustable shoulder straps will make it easier to carry.

Looking almost like a fancy, bedazzled perfume bottle Forzieri Rodo Swarovski Crystal Evening Clutch with Chain Strap is the perfect evening accessory.  For the Met Ball, a fancy dinner or a NYE party this is the go-to bag to hold only the essentials.

Similar to the Birkin bags that are all the rage amongst the celebs in Hollywood, Chloe’s Pure Paddington leather duffle bag is our choice over the bag that literally everyone has.

Chloe’s version has more of an urban feel and is made out of structured black leather into a duffle style.  Our favorite part of this bag is the designer stamped gold padlock and key.  The two top handles on either side of the double top zip closure make sure your essentials are secure.  This bag also features gold hardware, stud detailing and plenty of room inside for your belongings.

Personally, we wouldn’t want to walk around with a bag that everyone is toting.  That’s why we love Chloe’s Pure Paddington leather duffle bag.
