Glorinha Paranagua

I don't love everything she does, but some of her styles can be quite beautiful.

From her website:

Born in Rio de Janeiro and married to a Brazilian diplomat. handbag designer Glorinha Paranagua lived in Paris, Vienna, Spain, Sweden, Morocco, Kuwait and Caracas.
Upon returning to Brazil she started her own business making bags and accessories and opened a jewel of a store in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro.

Her distinct bags can be found at the internationally renowned store Daslu in São Paulo and other specialty boutiques throughout Brazil as well as Barney’s (New York), Brown’s, Liberty and Heidi Klein (London), Czarina (Monte Carlo)

She has styles listed at Vivre & Browns

I just ordered this one from Browns in London (pic)

That bag is AMAZING! Can't seem to find it anywhere online, though?

She has a website to see what else she has. Vivre.com carries them off and on. Brazil-id.com has them as well.

Thanks!

Can't seem to find that lacquered blue one anywhere, though

It's sadly gone...Browns called me to tell me they no longer had it. Sooooo sad. I should have bought it when I first saw it last year.

 

[scandinavianchic]

Oh no! Is it not possible to get it anywhere else??

 

[JetSetGo!]

If I knew, I'd buy one and tell you, too!

Here is the one I special ordered from GP (Scandanavianchic I PM'd you about that)! It's a slightly darker than the Turquoise that Browns had, but it is not metallic. I love it and it will be perfect for my dress! YAY!

Here are some other colors from her site...gorgeous! I believe they all can be special ordered.

I soooo love the red!

ugh i don't like her. she started this horrible trend once of smiley-shaped backpacks. most of her stuff are tacky, some of them can be nice, every once in a while. plus she's above all a high society woman

There's this site called LibaStyle that sometimes carries her clutches: www.libastyle.com
