One October Handbags

Filed under: Handbags

Roxana Zal, who at age 14 was the youngest person ever to win a Primetime Emmy (for Something About Amelia, 1984), is all grown up and has her own line of luxury handbags and accessories.

The line, called ONE OCTOBER, uses salmon skin instead of leather to create classic pieces with a funky edge.

Says ONE OCTOBER (the team includes her longtime friend Naomi Stokeld):

"By incorporating salmon skin into our designs we have created a collection that environmentally conscious consumers can feel positive about carrying. Most exotic leathers are obtained from skins of endangered species. Salmon skin is only an industrial residue from the farmed salmon industry but it is considered "exotic" leather. By using salmon leather, ONE OCTOBER aims to deliver high fashion and quality, in an environmentally sustainable way."

The result, as you can see above, is chic and green. The Joanna Clutch, above, retails at $324 and has been seen carried by Shannon Doherty. Click below to browse the rest of the new ONE OCTOBER line, including a special item for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
