Mood Handbags

Feeling a lil blue lately? It just seems like it's one of those weeks where time is moving by slowly! Seemingly to be the calm before the storm, as next week the craziness is about to begin in the fashion world. Not only is New York Fashion Week kicking off this Thursday, but the launch of our new collection is slowly approaching. But, how amazing is this new color? What I like about this type of blue leather is that with different metal accents, the color becomes more richer...almost purple! Different lighting brings out the different shades. The minute I saw Mr. Never-Again in person, I knew he had my heart and that I wasn't getting it back any time soon. It's as if there is a handbag in this Mister Collection to match every mood you're in... in my case, it's all the more reason for this girl to get more handbags ;) xoxo.

Valentine's Day Idea

Valentine's Day is right around the corner and one wrong move can get you in a lot of trouble with your fashionista! Heart-shaped cardboard boxes are so overrated these days! I mean, it is what is on the inside that counts anyway...Here's a cute idea, gift your lady with a clutch of your choice, and fill up the "other guy" with her favorite wrapped candy. Chocolates and handbags... there's no going  wrong. Speaking of what's on the inside...you already know that these bad boys make quite the impression outward. However, after predicting purple the color this year, our designer decided to re-vamp the collection giving you a surprise pop of color when you open each Mister up! "I'm feeling purple this year," Nicole D'Andrea says! A sneak peek of the inside, from the inside, xoxo.

Photo Shoot Fun + DROP DATE!

Going through my iPhone camera pictures after a photo shoot is always surprising. After a long day of camera flashes you don't realize how complex the hours prior had really been! Seeing the final product makes it all worth it, but there's nothing like a behind the scenes shot. Now, I can't show you much or give away too many of the new colors, but below is a few of our concepts for the upcoming 2014 Mister Collection. I can and will tell you that we shot approximately 50 different bags and our designer even got behind the lens! It's so fun watching her in hair and make-up for a change! Enjoy and remember to stay updated on the DROP DATE of the new collection on our website: www.dandreahandbags.com, xoxo.

Before and After

It's never the same at the office when our designer leaves the East Coast to head out to the factory in LA. Sure, the Manhattan Beach sunset iMessages I get every night are great, but nothing beats the sneak peeks that pop up on my phone of next month's collection. I'm seeing red! The transformation of these boys becoming men amazes me ;) Above is a before and after shot of Mr. Right Now... he came a long way from a simple little sketch. He's finally taken his form, in the shape of a hard clutch! We can't wait for you to see more (and I can't wait to get my hands on one of these red hots!) The studs aren't going anywhere, xoxo.

COMING SOON!

So many changes coming soon, but don't worry the Misters aren't going anywhere! The Mister Collection will always exist - they will always be our classic pieces and the #1 guys in our life. Things to keep a close eye on this upcoming season: the d'andrea website's scheduled face lift ;), colors, colors, colors (...I have a gut feeling about purple, that it's going to be the color of the year...) new faces on this dream team, where in the world these bad boys are headed, and where some will be staying - right at the boutique around the corner waiting to be picked up but you. It's officially time to start getting excited! Follow us on our journey through relationship's past, present, and future. XOXO

Will Work for Bags

Good morning lovers! It's #MisterMonday and that means the d'andrea team is back at it again. How amazing and is the photo above... it signifies exactly how us girls are feeling right about now. It's 2014, and there is about to be a d'andrea take-over. We're working harder than ever to bring you the bags that you love! You thought your life was exciting in 2013? Now that you've left any of that old baggage in the past, it's time to upgrade and elevate the candy on your arm. So head over to your favorite boutique, and ask them if they're carrying d'andrea. Because your new Mister is only one shelf away... and trust me, he deserves to be up there, he'll meet every one of your standards, xoxo.
