Have you heard of Lorenza Gandaglia? The Lorenza Gandaglia collection began in the mid-nineties with a small back pack. It has now evolved into a full accessory line focusing on handbags. One of the latest pieces by this designer is the Handmade Carpet Bag, sold exclusively at Vivre.

This irresistible bag boasts a rich tapestry of exquisite textures, hand-crocheted by Italian artisans in a burly ivory wool/raffia mélange with the sparkling surprise of a gold Lurex top and a polished pair of square wood and resin handles. Hand-signed and lined in silk shantung. Measures 19″ x 19″. Price: $895
