Libby's Luxuries in the Press>
Chicago Fashion: By Land & By Sea
Chicago Shopping Spree: What's Hot from Coast to Coast!
20 Jan 2005

Women around Chicago's north and west suburbs are clamoring over Libby's Luxuries, an exquisite custom bag and jewelry collection.  Through word of mouth, house parties and trunk shows, Libby's Italian leather and exotic skin handbags and pearl and semi-precious gem jewelry are becoming somewhat of a suburban rage.

The appeal lies in chic accessories at outrageously reasonable prices.  Purses range from $132 to upwards of $700 (the equivalent of which you might see in a high-end department store for thousands).  Jewelry ranges from $20 to $250.

Want something specific from the animal kingdom? Check out the Box Car Tote in shiny dark red embossed croc skin; Libby can have it custom made for you in about a month.  She can even remake a favored older style, like the vintage bag you've always adored, or the Grace Kelly-inspired bag of a certain French retailer you know you'll never be able to afford.

Choose from more than 100 different leathers, colors and exotic skins like genuine ostrich, crocodile embossed (matte or shiny), snake and sheep skin, as well as pony fur, suede and smooth and pebbled leathers.  Each bag is lined with soft suede, a zipper pocket and a cell phone pocket, with attention give to the smallest detail, like silver, gold and brass hardware.

From the sea, Libby offers genuine South Sea, Tahitian, freshwater pearl and semi-precious gem necklaces, bracelets and earrings.  See two necklaces you like but wish you could swap gem golors?  Libby can do!
