"The Calvet Handbag is
Art-A-Porter." "Fueled by the confidence she embodies, she exudes an
absolute sense of femininity and glamour." "Marcela Calvet captures
the essence of en vogue refinement by melding the seduction of Buenos
Aires with the elegance of Paris
Marcela was born in Buenos Aires,
Argentina, a city she loves for its excitement, passion and beauty, from a
French mother who she describes as "like most French women, she was (and
still is) always dressed elegantly while she fashionably carries a stunning
handbag". She studied Psychology, because of her family's long tradition
in humanitarian causes and philanthropy, and she actually practiced for a few
years, but later on she decided it was time to pursue her other great passion:
"to design beautifully crafted handbags". She says she likes to mix
her psychology with handbag design; "from a woman's perspective, there is
such an emotional connection between the handbag we carry and our sense of
'self'".
"I find real beauty in handbags. A
well-designed handbag becomes a work of art. My trademark is mixing style and
function, and I am always working to bring back some of the alluring features
that defined the Calvet bags back in the days when exotic skins were all the
rage. I am always experimenting with different exotic skins and leathers for
texture; because a bag has to be practical and long-lasting, as well as
stunning." The bags appeal to those seeking great designs and functionality.
Function is definitely important in terms of design; which is why most of the
models include capacious interiors, cell phone pockets and other interior
pockets, key chain, removable shoulder straps, etc. All have interior linings
handmade in ultra-supple Argentine Calfskin that will make you want to
constantly search for that lip gloss.
Marcela prides herself in "melding
Argentine sensuality with French sophistication. That is our trademark".
Marcela Calvet handbags are handmade in limited editions; and many of them are
one-of-a-kind, utilizing the finest farmed exotic skins, like South American
alligator, lizard, ostrich and South American ostrich, as well as full grain
Argentine leather and calf skin. The hardware is of the finest quality as well:
solid brass which they Gold-gild or Nickel-gild to give it that divine finished
look. Her Signature shades are achieved by using traditional vegetable dying
methods which is better for the skins and the leathers and most importantly,
for the environment.
This month Marcela Calvet's Horne handbag
