Lamarthe Designer Handbags

Have you heard of the wonderful luxury designer handbag brand of Lamarthe? It is a best-selling European luxury brand with a muse. Until recently the popular French line Lamarthe could only be found in the chic department stores of Paris.

Recently, Lamarthe's Exception bag was named as one of Elle France's "Top Ten Must Haves."

With hot French designers like Sophia Levy styling for Lamarthe, their bags are now coveted by celebrities like Marcia Cross, Angela Bassett and Ziyi Zhang.

I've been familiar with the brand of Lamarthe for several years since I purchased my first little black Lamarthe bag that was actually "made in Rumania" and found on eBay!

My little black Lamarthe bag!

It was actually "made in Rumania" I found this petite black leather handbag on eBay and just had to have it; primarily because of it's uniqueness and the fact that it is "made in Rumania."

The purse bears the embossing of Lamarthe, which is a designer name of handbags that usually are made in Paris. This baguette quite possibly was from a sample run. It's black with white piping with two tags inside; one is "claim #47," and the other reads "Made in Rumania." The size is compact, 9" x 5-1/2" and appears to be new. The zipper pull is also marked Lamarthe.

The unicorn is the emblem of the Lamarthe brand. The mare with a moon-like coat, surmounted by a spiral tusk used to appear in medieval fables. A symbol of purity, of strength and beauty, the unicorn has been celebrated by masterpieces of literature and painting.

It is now celebrated by Lamarthe which it symbolizes.The brand of Lamarthe has a "muse." Elettra Rossellini Elettra Rossellini is "the muse of the brand" of Lamarthe and Rossy De Palma is the director of Lamarthe's new short film for the Winter 2007/2008 collection.
