Ms. Brueckner’s bags are more than on Jessica Alba’s radar screen – she’s already been sighted wearing one.
It’s a refreshing to see something fresh and new on a celebrity. Ms. Alba is one of today’s most photographed starlets and we commend her for wearing something OTHER than a safe Balenciaga, Chloe or Vuitton “it” bag. While the former are indisputably great bags, they’ve lost some cachet by virtue that seemingly every fashion loving woman is toting one [or a made in China copy].
Ms. Brueckner’s new to the high stakes game of it bags; she only launched in spring 2006, but this celebrity sighting puts her in the game.
So, what makes this bag different/exciting enough for a high-profile starlet to wear?
Distinguishing characteristics of Andrea Brueckner’s bags:
-structured ease
-atypical stitching
-natural tones

The Tierney was inspired by Vintage 40’s & 50’s Hollywood Glam namely actress Jean Tierney, one of Hollywood’s most famous femme fatales who starred in numerous 40’s film noires.

The Tierney bag profile:

- A little more hardware heavy, giving it huge appeal to femme fatales the world over
-Available in 3 styles: The city bag, the tote and the pochette.
- Comes in a color blocking color palette of unusual color combo such as black/brown, mushroom/cognac, and taupe/brown.

A bag that looks this good, at this price point and that isn’t slung over everyone’s shoulder [yet] places it on our Christmas ’07 wish list.

Where to find it:
Retailers include: Calypso, Nicchia, Michael Nusskern.
Bags in the Tierney grouping range from $295 - $650.
