Zibba Bags
There’s no question that Brazil has got it going on. They have beautiful beaches, one of the most fabulous parties in the world (Carnival–I hope to go someday!), the best flip flops in my opinion (Havianas) and seem to produce an incredible crop of Victoria’s Secret supermodels who make shedding 9 month pregnancy weight look as easy as Tiger Woods appears to acquire mistresses.
Add Zibba (“Creativity” in indigenous Brazilian), a new handbag brand, as further evidence with unique, finely made bags that are designed and handmade in Rio de Janeiro and crafted out of fine leather. Something versatile, but special, is the shopping mantra I use when selecting a handbag, and Zibba’s Marie handbag completely fits this criteria, with a inimitable design that won it the Independent Handbag Designer of the Year Award, as bestowed by an illustrious panel of juges including Carlos Falchi and Devi Kroell.
I love its bohemian inspired slouchy look with its softly rounded edges that gently hugs the body, with slightly exposed contrasting zippers, that give it just a bit of edge. I’m confident that this could be my new, everyday bag–an illustrious honor of my own that hasn’t been bestowed by me since my Foley and Corinna Mid-City bag as of 2 years ago. The true test will be how much room in the bag is left after I stow a pair of Stuartz Weitzman heels inside.
Zibba is making its US debut at Saks Fifth Avenue, and is also available in black. Even as a US import, it’s moderately priced for a luxury handbag at $650.

Ashley–I’ll try to find out for you! I don’t think they have a website yet, I tried to google it. I did hear that they sold Zibba in Sao Paolo’s version of Bergdorf Goodman, but I’m not sure of the name of the department store….hopefully in Argentina too!
