Introducing the collaborative efforts of two ladies from SoCal Laura Darrah and Sheila Nazarian with Treesje.  Not only do I love their bags because I went to school down there (USC - Fight On! anyone?), but also because their bags are divine. I’m sure their celebrity customers - Drew Barrymore, Katie Holmes, Kate Winslet, and Sarah Jessica Parket would all agree.

Does anyone know how to pronounce Treesje? I have to admit, I’ve tried, but I’m sure I’ve failed just about as many times as I failed.  Me not being able to pronounce the name doesn’t keep me from postinng this Treesje Avalon Mini.  Don’t let the name fool you, this Treesje Avalon is not some tiny bag, it registers at 10″ high, 15″ wide, 4 1/2″ deep. This is a lovely bag and the size is perfect, because on anything smaller and the stiched in almost quilted detail of the bag would be too much.  But as it is, it looks great on the Avalon with the locked down metail details of the handle and the soft slouchy feel of the bag that’s hard to get with patent leather.  Plus it’s Italian leather..can’t go wrong there. BTW, the picture doesn’t do the bag justice, it’s even better looking in person.
