Judith Leiber Large Channeled Rectangle, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


The structure of a solid rectangle shape combined with the softness of a floral pattern in neutral golds and browns makes for another beautiful handbag creation from Judith Leiber. The Large Channeled Rectangle (seems like she could have come up with a more interesting name) is accented with hand-glued Austrian crystals along the top and bottom and has a decorative detachable chain handle with a short 6" drop. And like all of Judith Leiber's bags it comes beautifully boxed with a keepsake bag. 6 1/2" x 3" x 1 1/2", $3395.

Leiber Voted Most Prestigious Handbag Brand

Filed under: Handbags


Since 1953, every American First Lady has carried a custom-made Leiber handbag to the Presidential Inauguration. Over the years, Judith Leiber's hand-crafted bejeweled creations have found their way into the permanent collections of The Smithsonian Institute, the Victoria and Albert Museum as well as the hands of discriminating women everywhere. It is therefore no surprise that Leiber handbags were named the most prestigious handbag brand in the Luxury Institute's 2007 Luxury Brand Status Index survey. The index surveys 783 high-net worth consumers with an average income of $305,000 per year and an average net worth of $2.2 million. In particular, women over 45 with a net worth greater than $5 million gave high marks to the elegant Leiber handbag. In the survey, which included 26 high-end labels, Hermès and Prada also rose to the top, coming in second and third, respectively.
