Secrets of the Bad Boys in Your Closet: Part 5

Our designer Nicole was feeling a little inspired this week, and I'm sure you can guess why...because there is a new Mister to name!!! By now, we don't take any of these Misters as a loss - because you, I, and our designer receive nothing but fashionable gain (a sense that the girls these bad boys end up with could use.) When this time comes around, it's sometimes bittersweet, but always a treat for you ladies! We'd never send you in blind, unlike our designer's most recent decision for meeting her muse; so we've narrowed the choices down to two: Mr. Match and Mr. Insecure. So far, it looks like Mr. Insecure is in the lead. I guess this silly boy wasn't the only one around here letting his insecurities eat him up. We've definitely had a good laugh naming lots of handbags (all in good fun, of course) but we love turning to our d'andrea lovers for some help! What do you think? Also, if you could personalize your very own Mister with your ex-bf in mind, what would he be called? I know mine! But that's a whole other blog post in itself ;) Let us know on our Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram! xoxo

PS: If you missed the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT, our website had a facelift!

ENK Vegas: Here Comes the Nostalgia

It's that time of year when New York dies down and Vegas becomes the fashion capital of the US during Magic Market Week! I'm so sad to not be missing out on the show but I can assure you that while our designer is in Vegas she's left me lots of Misters to play with. A touch of Spring on the East Coast for me during the storm, while she unveils the Fall 2014 Mister Collection in the West. The energy is always so live at ENK and of course I'll be bringing you all the details as they come. Here comes the nostalgia...the diary of a d'andrea PR girl actually began during the last trade show in August on this very laptop sitting on a balcony overlooking the strip. I can't believe how much we've grown since then... and even thinking back further to one year ago in February to our very FIRST show! We are so thankful for our first year and all our loyal customers/fans! There has been so many surprises and we have met so many great people! Our team always loves to see some of your faces - so if you plan on attending be sure to stop by Booth 19173 if you're ready to experience heartbreak like never before, 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.

Walking With Your Mister in a Winter Wonderland

What did you do over the weekend? I took my favorite handbag walking in a winter wonderland! As the snow began to fall, I fell deeper in love with my Mister. There's nothing like a snow day with your main man. You probably know that d'andrea handbags are made up of the finest Italian cow and lamb skin. So, we are often asked a few questions about how to care for your new leather boyfriends. Well, I've got the answers! And, you may be surprised to hear that these bad boys have tougher skin than they do feelings ;)

A few tips...

1. Always store him in your d'andrea dustbag.

2. NEVER keep him in plastic!

3. Invest in a good leather conditioner.

4. Remember, leather has imperfections - a sure way to tell that it is real - however, keeping him in the sun too long may cause some discoloration/fading. 

5. Wet spots/oil spills/grease mishaps, don't worry! A dry cloth will be your best friend! Do not rub, but simply blot to absorb.
