The brand, founded by Deborah Sawaf, paints a picture of her worldly experiences through its clutches, day bags and jewelry of treated exotic skins adorned with unique custom hardware ranging from tassels, leather know handles and Swarovski crystals. Passionately driven by art, her inspirations range from the 1920’s to French Renaissance and Baroque periods, as well as from exotic lands with rich histories of textile and ornamentation. Sawaf blends concepts of international influence and combines modern technique with traditional artistry ($295 – $2,500; www.thaleblanc.com).
