BAGS OF STYLE

PONTINE PAUS is rapidly breaking into the designer handbag scene and grabbing herself the reputation of its "next big thing". Her first collection of goat hair bags strung with multicoloured ribbons flew out of the shops and her summer bags have already been called in by Paul & Joe designer Sophie Albou, no less. And, as if more proof were needed, she has just been accepted to exhibit at the Premiere Classe Paris trade fair. Pontine, who triples as an artist and furniture designer, makes bags to her customer's individual tastes but each one carries her signature knots, tassels and corseted handles. And her evening bags (one, subtly shaped like a bra, is nicknamed the 'boob bag') are to die for. Expect to see a Pontine Paus hanging off a supermodel near you soon. www.pontinepaus.com.

they're alright. IMO not the "next big thing" though.

I must say i also agree. From the description I was expecting something amazing and then I saw these. They are nice but not fabulous.

I can't really say that i like that bag. that rope with a tassle really threw me off, but i hope things go well for that designer b/c someone out there digs it. I have yet to see alek wek's bags. i want to so badly are they posted on the internet or anywhere where I could take a peek?

The material looks a bit cheap to me.
