Laura Vela

Handbag designer Laura Vela has some of the hottest new handbags on the market, and quite possibly the hardest website I've ever tried to find.  The search is worth it though because these bags are unique, colorful, and full of fun.  The collection is made up of all styles and prints and has some serious staying power.  I love finding up and coming designers because I feel like the items I own are little treasures and, of course, like I'm smarter than everyone that doesn't own something yet.  Vela is sure to be a staple in the handbag industry, so jump on before the prices get exponentially higher!
