The striped Skipper bag has a nautical look and woven rope handles. Eric Javits, who also designs hats, uses the Squishee® fabric, a man-made fiber that resembles straw. The hats and handbags can be crushed and still come out looking great. The Squishee fabric also makes the bag lightweight so you can put more in it. The Skipper measures 17"L x 8.5"h x 6.5"w and has leather trim and button lock closure with goldtone hardware and protective brass feet. Inside there are mulitple pockets, a key clip holder and mirror. It sells for $450.

Eric Javits Large Donut Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I am not sure why this bag could not have been done in leather, but it wasn't. The material is PVC over nylon mesh and the only leather on this bag is found in the trim. Still, it is an eye-catching pattern and a totally retro look. With just a touch of gold-plated brass hardware where the straps fasten to the bag, the busy pattern is all you notice. The bag is open at the top and features gold nylon lining and interior cell, utility and makeup pockets as well as a key clip. Also available in white, the bag measures 14 ½"H x 9"W x 5"D and sells for $450.

Kentucky Derby Hat Auction

Filed under: Apparel, Auctions, Celebrity Shopping


For the past three years, Grey Goose Vodka has teamed up with Eric Javits to create one-of-a-kind hats for the Kentucky Derby. Last year, Petra Nemcova was chosen to model a silvery white portrait hat that was auctioned on eBay, raising over $800 for the Barnstable-Brown Foundation. This year's creation was modeled by actress Zoe Saldana at the 133rd Kentucky Derby. The hat is a lightweight nylon, raffia and lurex in French blue with silver highlights. The unique chapeau was designed with a dramatic brim meant to symbolize the burst of energy of a grey goose taking flight. The hat, along with a custom designed hat box, is now up for auction at Clothes Off Our Back. Both the hat box and the chapeau are autographed by Javits and Saldana and together have a retail value of $1800. Proceeds from the auction will benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to support pediatric cancer and disease as well as The Barnstable-Brown Foundation to support diabetic research. The auction ends May 15th and the last I checked, the bidding was up to $500.
