KDH recently discovered this new line of handbags that are has Hollywood style stars carried away!

In 2010, art director turned accessory designer, Amanda Joy set out to turn her passion for simplistic design into a collection of handbags that fuse her laid-back style with gorgeous exotic skins and unbelievably soft lavish leathers. The result? A line of luxurious and easy-to-carry bags that feature her “unfussy approach” to design. Amanda Joy bags combine chic clean lines with deliberate use of hardware and embellishments. Amanda Joy uses the finest possible exotic, Italian, and French leathers, all crafted in New York City.

“This level of control and management at every stage of development ensures that each piece represents our commitment to the highest level of luxury, quality, and craftsmanship,” shares Amanda. Now in her second season, Amanda says she was inspired by “the bright colors of Miami, and blended the vivid hues with the opulence of the seventies era” for her Spring 2012 collection.

“My collection is all about mixing classic shapes with bold colors and luxurious textures, perfect for the Hamptons lively-yet-laid back lifestyle, they are definitely a standout accessory to carry out for lunch, shopping or mingling over cocktails!” muses Amanda.
