Special Dish: A Bag to Build a Dream On
You've filled your closet with at least 3 "It Bags" each year, building up an enviable collection adorned with logos, monograms, locks and chains. How beautiful they look sitting in the wardrobe, each one with only a few months of wear as your go to bag du jour. Although they were fun at the time, you sometimes dream of being one of those style-icons who owns only classic, elegant handbags, without all of the fuss and muss. Imagine just a few gorgeous, well-structured pieces with clean lines and superior quality that you would reach for again and again and would stand the test of time. Clear some space on the shelves and get your shoulders ready for some seriously decadent luxury. Valextra, the sublime Italian brand, which was once a favourite of Grace Kelly and Jackie O, has created a special Dim Sum & Then Some offer to help us start our new classic dream collections.
Thought the days of well-trained Italian craftsmen hand-stitching leather was something only to be found in the movies? Think again. In order to ensure that the inherent quality of the brand transcends through the ages, Valextra recruited retired artisans to impart their skill and experience to younger generations, entrenching the utmost refinement and craftsmanship into each individual leather piece. The result is a stunning line with superb quality, perfect construction, and eternal style, refined down to the smallest detail. You will notice a difference between Valextra and other luxury brands. The line's ads have no spokes-models, as the expertly created and luxuriously sumptuous bags speak for themselves. In Valextra's entire collection for men and women, the stunning pieces can be recognized by purveyors of luxury all over the world for their unparalleled craftsmanship.
The well-structured, modern yet classic designs are just one more reason to start building your collection as soon as possible. Recently compared by style-setters to the Birkin, Valextra's Boston Bag with its lightweight construction, roomy outer pocket and luscious leather lining has become the new coveted timeless yet wearable collector piece. While the brand's newest product, a unique MacBook Air Case, designed especially for Apple and available in stunning colours and textures like white patent leather and red calf hide, is destined to be the must-have item of choice for the new power set. The Exotic Leather Collection takes luxury to a new level with bags and cases in leather that is so supple it has to be touched to be believed. And the Small Leather Goods collection of sleek and stunning wallets, cardholders and passport holders is filled with the perfect timeless holiday gifts for your family and friends who travel in style and appreciate the ultimate refined quality.
Now is the time to discover the distinctively elegant World of Valextra. Unique pieces have just been flown in from Italy and are ready to become your new staple statement pieces. For four days only, from December 5-8, Dim Sum & Then Some readers will receive up to a 40% discount on the gorgeous pieces. Please visit the Valextra store at The Landmark to view the fabulous collection. All you have to do is mention Dim Sum & Then Some to take advantage of this amazing opportunity.
Going into the new year, one of our resolutions was to invest in pieces that are classic, elegant and stand the test of time. If they were good enough for Grace and Jackie. . . we think we've found the brand for us!
