Dear Bagistas,

Happy Earth Day! There's a plethora of eco themed stories on BagTrends.com. In cased you missed them here's a roundup:

Get to Know... Vegan Queen
I did a Q&A with the designer, Evelina, last month. She's a true vegan and a fashionista to boot. Her collection lives up to it's royal name. This is a vegan line even I would wear - and I do! Currently I'm sporting the Vegan Queen clutch wallet to all my night-time appointments.

Top 3 Trends ... Earth Day Special
From day to night, my team and I have found the best styles and fabrications within the growing green handbag category.

My Bag-a-licious Pick ... Vegan Queen Eco Tote
For $49.99 this tote is the best way to say no to plastic grocery bags!

Get to Know ... Ashley Watson

Vegan Queen featured on FOX Business Channel: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

I have so much to share about my recent trip to Vegas for the WSA Collections show. As I regroup, I want to share some excited press that a wonderful new designer - Vegan Queen - just received. The below clip is the gorgeous designer Evelina of Vegan Queen on FOX chatting about Eco Luxury. I can't wait to get this line into our shop - soon I promise. I'm actually chatting with Evelina later this week to get an exact date. For now, if you see something you live just shoot us an e-mail at customerservice@bagtrends.com so we can put it on hold for you.

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Lunch with CHia and a Vegan Queen Sidedish: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

Last Friday was quite eventful. I had lunch with June Change, the designer behind CHia handbags. The Spring/Summer collection is fabulous. You just won't believe the bags you'll get and the prices. There are a few styles at the $350 range that are really special and destined to remain in your immediate handbag repertoire for many, many years to come. Of course, the Asianna tote (which is a big hit at SHOPBagTrends.com) is coming in new colors including this really amazing grey that you'll flip for. It's a year-around color which can be made super summery if you wrap a bright scarf around the handle! I'll be able to share images of the new collection in about a week, so stay tuned. Before our lunch, I went to preview Vegan Queen a new eco collection. I first heard about the brand about 2 months ago when Evelina, the designer e-mailed me. From the images I already saw something worth a closer eye. When I finally laid my eyes on the bags this past Friday I have to tell you this is the first environmentally friendly brand that I would actually L-O-V-E to wear.

Her VQ logo is very elaborate, adding to the lux look. The piping, structure and construction is impeccable. This isn't your mother's eco, home-made bag! The inside is lined in like a soft eco-cotton fabric that is reminiscent of the suede lining you'll find in really expensive high-end brands. All in all, I can't wait to see future Vegan Queen bags. In fact, I liked this collection so much, I'll be offering it to all you bagistas at SHOPBagTrends.com. It should be available in about a week or so.

Have a bag-a-licious day!
