No Spain, No Gain

Malababa’s Leather Accessories

They say the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.

But though our city may see rain, we don’t see Spain and seldom notice our plain. Leaving little for Henry Higgins to wax poetic about here.

And since we’re not likely to get weather appropriate for rhyming anytime soon, forge another connection to the European country with Malababa. After winning scores of fans in Madrid, this, er, loverly leather line has finally arrived stateside to transform you into one fair lady.

Our favorites include the enormous leather knot pendant hanging from an ultra-long chain, the cute-as-a-button mini Carlota bag with extra ruching, and an elegant art deco double necklace. Every single piece, however, is perfect for dancing all night or simply jaunting about town, getting others accustomed to your (very stylish) face.

And when the praise starts pouring in over your new accessories, you won’t be the least bit surprised to discover not one rain cloud in the sky.

Because, by George, you’ve got it.
