Spring Skins

Despite the weekly snowstorms, my sights are set on Spring!  This is where we transition from warm and fuzzy to slick, sleek and glossy!  From fur to snake, croc and any other cold-blooded reptile you can think of.  Not only are our new textured bags gorgeous to look at, they are ALL VEGAN!  Luxurious and yet easy on the wallet...couldn't ask for more from a bag!

 

 

Nuala Vegan Tote in Ivory - Textured Snakeskin print.

Nuala Vegan Satchel in Charcoal - Smaller than the tote with a removable, adjustable shoulder strap.

Soledad Vegan Tote in Black with snakeprint trim.

 

Meanwhile, I know my postings have been somewhat erratic lately but there is good reason!  Something new and exciting has been in the works which I will be announcing very shortly!

Bringing Sexy Back!

If this season's fashion is about bringing the sexy, it certainly has been 'brought-ed!'  Black Lace, animal prints, leather, zippers, buckles are making their bold appearance in clothes and accessories.  But nothing symbolizes sensuality like the corset.  Something about that criss-cross architecture designed to control and harness rebellious bodily excess is archaic yet deliciously appealing.  On boots, bags, shoes, belts, you name it, the design is undoubtably hot. Which explains why I was immediately drawn to the exquisite creations of French accessory brand, Estenate.  Let's face it, noone does luxury and sexy like the French.

Estenate, exclusively sold in Therapie in the U.S., is the creation of two talented, young, French designers, Estelle and Renate.  They have 25 years of experience in Haute Couture between them.  Their creations are all 100% hand-made from start to finish out of the most luxurious materials.  I, for one, am in lust with their sumptuous pieces!

Eco-Edge

Who says you can't look B-B-B-Bad-to-the-Bone and still be socially responsible?  Eco-brand, Make Love not Trash says you can and you will!  I am in love with their organic black denim bag and wallet, with non-toxic trims, nickel-free hardware and their non-toxic printing techniques.  

I am very serious about reducing my own ecological footprint in this world, and companies like this make it easier to do it in style.

Fall on the Wild Side

Bring out your inner-rocker/biker this Fall with leather, studs and lots of zippers!  Fall has to be the most exciting season for the things I love most - Accessories, and they are making their wild appearance at Thérapie!  Garnet, Plum, Cobalt Blue, Cherry, Slate and Green Apple are my favourite of the representing hues this season.  Personally, ready-to-wear has always taken a back seat to a fabulous bag, scarf and jewelry, and the more intricate and embellished the design, the better!
