Featured Designer - Rocco e Dante by Tara Sauvage
Created by Seattle-based designer Tara Sauvage, Rocco e Dante Handbags are both bold and luxurious in deep jewel tones, imported Italian leathers, and brass or nickel hardware. Glossy patent leathers enhance these fine bags with a rich, polished glow that is remarkable and distinctive among designer handbags today.
With ten years of handbag design experience Tara, as designer, and her two pugs Rocco and Dante, as muses, launched the Rocco e Dante Handbag Collection in 2007. These extraordinary bags combine true quality and luxury for the fashionable urban woman of today who wants and can afford the very best.
A Rocco e Dante Handbag features an understated but powerful elegance that, because it is at once both timeless and contemporary, can be worn for many occasions and seasons to come, complimenting any look without distracting from it.
Part of Tara's design philosophy is that her bags feel as good as they look. To achieve this, she test markets every sample herself to determine its user-friendliness before adding it to her collection. If something doesn't feel right, Tara reworks the design until it does.
