The izzi bag

Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a self-confessed handbag junkie! Well, I've found a new bag to add to the rest of my collection.

Behold!...... I give you the izzi bag! 

 Izzi Bag was created in January 2009 by Anne Agoren. Her inspiration came from her husband and a trip to the Far East. Ms. Agoren has an impeccable ability to understand the needs of any fashionista when purchasing a new handbag. Her designs are classic yet innovative, stylish and elegant. Certainly a designer to watch out for in 2010!
