Be & D Handbags | Fashion
The world is a global village. No man is an island. At no other time do these two phrases ring so true. Everything we own and much of what we eat came, wholly or partly, from somewhere else. The very computer you're on right now may contain parts from places unknown. In the world of fashion, this international focus is reflected in the materials used, its construction, and design influences.
International designers are coming to the foreground from countries outside the traditional fashion capitals of New York, London, and Milan. One pair out of New York are designers Be Invathong and Steve Dumain of Be & D Handbags. Both have travelled extensively, and with Be being of Laotian descent, their bags reflect that international flavour. The Garbo, their first hit designer handbag, was even inspired by a trip to Beirut.
Considered a celebrity favourite, Be & D handbags are timelessly chic and modern pieces, designed for the fashion brave, yet accessible for all ages. Recently, the design duo relaunched their line and expanded from handbags out to accessories and shoes. These young designers are definitely one to watch!
