Review: Designs By Paolo Purses

We women love our purses!

Why is that? Well, IMHO, they express our personal style and carry our ’stuff! And, with such gorgeous ones available, who needs pockets?!

I had the great opportunity to sit down with a purse maven and find out all about the stylish bags that she and her husband create in their business, DESIGNS BY PAOLO. Co-owner Erin Biel is passionate about purses – the business has been in her family for decades. She knows how they are made, how to match them to a woman’s personality and how to bring a smile to your face by showing them to you! In fact, here she is!

Designs by Paolo has almost unlimited colors and styles, which can be personalized with your initials and color combinations. Their style is vintage “doctor bag” handbags which allows ample room for cell phones, wallets, lipstick, and much, much more. Each case is custom made to order and suitable to be personalized either on the front or in the lining, making each item completely individual. Their handbags are created from the finest leather from Europe and South America in a variety of solid colors as well as two-tone combinations.

Erin said, “Our job at Designs by Paolo is to create a handbag for a woman that helps her become the designer by allowing her to choose the right style and leather combination to fit her unique wardrobe choices and lifestyle.”
Erin gave some ‘girlfriend advice’ and insight on selecting a purse:
  • Women always want to view Designs By Paolo bags with a small group of girlfriends, because it is not a line she may be familiar with, and some girls are not comfortable going outside the “COACH” zone. (Your girlfriends can help you be more adventurous and open-minded!)
  • Husbands and boyfriends are not welcome on the handbag hunt.  They do not understand the attraction nor the prices. (That’s fine – leave the boys at home and just do some girlfriend bonding and shopping!)
  • If there is only one color/style available of a bag, a woman will wait to see if anyone else in her ‘tribe’ becomes interested in it first.  This confirms that it is a valid choice and it is okay to express the desire to possess the bag.

Erin also says you don’t need to match a purse to your shoes or outfit necessarily, but more to your personality.

These Designs by Paolo purses are extremely well made for lots of usage and are beautiful! So check out their site for a handbag for you or a girlfriend!
