Law & Order

Seril Handbags

You didn’t mean to go 53 in a 25 (silly accelerator). And who knew jaywalking was really illegal?

You don’t look for trouble, but it always manages to find you.

So it’s no wonder you’re feeling drawn to designer Marjori Seril’s new line of gangster-inspired handbags.

Tough-looking leather and an imposing, oversize clasp hit the mark on the Bullet clutch. The Knockout features a set of brass knuckle-inspired cutouts. And the aptly named Lockdown has a heavy-metal chain attached to a leather bracelet — ensuring your purse will be secured handcuff-like to your wrist.

The bags come in a penitentiary-minded palette that includes colors like ash, tar, and coal. And they’re delivered right to your door, so even delinquents like you can get their fix.

One of many ways to pass the time on house arrest.

Available by phone order (323-277-3886). To see styles, go to seril.net.
