Those of you that know me, recognize I have a thing for luxury handbags believing the bag you choice to carry, can say a lot about you and your personal style. However finding that luxury bag at an affordable price can be a challenging task at best. Well, luxury handbag designer Kelly Locke http://www.kellylocke.com has managed to design a luxurious exotic skins collection of handbags, using anaconda, lizard, crocodile and python at a price that’s guaranteed to put a smile in your wallet.

Drawing from his background in architecture and film art direction, Locke places a strong emphasis when designing his collection on proportion, balance and focused use of hardware. Locke employs a meticulous approach to the design of each clutch, tote, and handbag in his collection.

Each Kelly Locke bag design element is selected for its unique architectural contribution, from the line of the bags shape to the subtle use of ornamental accents such as agate stone feet, zipper pulls in petrified wood and elegant topstitching.

His staunch resistance to design shortcuts that lend themselves to mass production have enabled him to create a collection of modern yet timeless luxury handbags that women will be confident in carrying today, tomorrow and for a lifetime.

Kelly Locke luxury handbags range from $395 for a small clutch in metallic kidskin to $2595 for a large hobo in suede crocodile and can be found at high-end retailers Henri Bendel http://www.henribendel.com Church in Los Angeles http://www.churchboutque.com Yuta Powell Salon in New York, Choices in Pittsburgh and Internationally at Habitus in Italy    or online at Vivre http://www.vivre.com
