Tiffany & Co. Acquires Lambertson Truex

Filed under: Handbags


While the Lambertson Truex line has been a favorite for fashionistas it never became a household name. But now the company, which filed for bankruptcy in March, will have a second life under the aegis of Tiffany & Co. Tiffany bought the brand likely to bring the label's talented namesakes Richard Lambertson and John Truex into the company. Just what is Tiffany going to do with handbag designers? It seems likely that Tiffany may be looking into creating a line of purses and small leather accessories. Not many details have been made public yet and no financial terms were revealed.

Lambertson Truex Tenny Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I am loving the crisp basket-weave on this tote. Weaving leather strips together this way isn't all that unique, but the contrasting top-stitching adds a nice touch and gives the pattern even more dimension. 17" double handles with a 61/2 inch drop makes for a nice fit on your shoulder and the hinge-locked flap opening gives easy access to the interior. The bag is lined in pretty baby blue suede and includes the standard zip, patch and cell pockets as well as a key fob and two card holders. Minimal polished silver-tone hardware on the bag and protective feet finish things off and the end result is a very wearable everyday tote. $957.
