You can tell a Carlos Falchi handbag from any other by its outrageous patterns and eye-popping colors.
Carlos Falchi definitely does not shoot for the typical mild-mannered women when he designs his fashion accessories. Instead he aims for those with a love for what would be considered as the cutting edge, such is the freshness and appeal of the creative combinations and exotic looks which go to make Carlos Falchi handbags.
Perhaps part of the Carlos Falchi edge comes from his Brazilian background, hot Latin blood married to an eye for detail and innovation?(Carlos originally came from Minas Gerais, Brazil.)
But much of what has attracted critics, consumers, and divas to his bags also has a lot to do with the utmost in quality and luxury that come with everyone of his bags. The acclaim and adoration of movie stars, magazine moguls, and millionaires comes with the innovative but caretaking way in which Carlos Falchi crafts the finest leathers, skins, and other materials.
For three decades, Carlos Falchi bags have been turning heads.
However, his career did not take off until he moved his show to the fashion capital of the West, New York. There, he started out designing costumes for movies.
He found success in the business, especially after the owner of a New York boutique was enthralled by one of his designs. It was a belt, and the boutique owner promptly ordered several more.
It didn’t take long before Carlos Falchi dove into designing not only belts and costumes, but bags and accessories for the stars and performers to wear when they were off stage or the silver screen.
With a focus on working with skins, leathers, and beautifully and stunningly juxtaposed colors and patterns, Carlos Falchi has won international acclaim since his start in New York.
He won a COTY award for his work in accessory designer. He even has had some designs forever enshrined in the permanent collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
But everyday handbag users, and women everywhere, can best thank Carlos Falchi for ending the reign of black. Black and grays have long been the chic color of the big city, matching the drab and dirty streets and sidewalks perhaps?
But Falchi turned those fashion blahs on their heads, and he can often be heard saying that color is the new black.
Plainness, fitting in, the urban camouflage - they have been forever left to the bankers and the lawyers.
Let women wear bright oranges, vivid yellows, joyous greens, at least when they have a Carlos Falchi handbag on hand.
