The media preview for Fall 2011 was a editor's dream---well laid out, top shelf products (we were told around 2300 skus!!!!!), easy "to get' groupings-all with that special Frye DNA----

We were ready to move in
Plus: We got to see more of the handbags, satchels, briefs----which not all outlets that carry Frye---will offer for sale---but we LOVE. But their store down on Spring Street should have plenty....

Take for example, this amazing old saddle bag that is made in Mexico, hand tooled/laser cut with an underlay---WANT.
More great bags...
