She Bangs

Bing Bang Handbags

You tried to wrap your head around the whole Big Bang concept. And for your intellectual toils, all you got was a headache and a vague sense of your own cosmic insignificance.

Spend time pondering Bing Bang, and the rewards will be much greater.

Anna Sheffield’s line, famous for its baubles, has just launched a collection of handbags that’s out of this world. The washed and distressed leather numbers incorporate jewelry-like embellishments to make them shine bright.

The Shelly messenger bag and Vera doctor bag both feature big, opulent chain straps. Sophia, a brown buffalo leather hobo, has rose gold hardware. If you choose to leave your chaotic world behind for the weekend, pack your belongings in Cindy, the oversize canvas tote with cinched side straps.

Better get them fast.

These beauties are sure to blow up.
