Camila Alves Shows Off Her Muxo Handbags In Canada

Waking up next to hunky Matthew McConaughey isn’t the only perk of being his fiancee! Just ask Camila Alves!

The Brazilian beauty stopped by the Marilyn Denis Show in Toronto on Friday to promote her Muxo handbag collection she co-designed with her mother Fátima Alves.

According to Camila, the collection was inspired by two of her favorite places in the world, Brazil and New York and the need for chic yet practical bags for her jetset "lifestyle".

We like what we see and think it's nice that she has more ambitions than being "the wife" of Matthew McConaughey.

Make that money gurl!!!

What do U think about the handbags?!

Jonathan Adler Goes From Interior Designer To Handbag Designer

Filed Under: Business Blitz Purses Fendi Hermes

jonathan adler handbag launch

There are plenty of homes already filled with Jonathan Adler's signature "happy chic" furnishings, but now closets can be filled with his handbags too!

Over the weekend Adler and his husband Simon Doonan celebrated the launch of the new accessories line by hosting an intimate dinner with close friends at their Greenwich Village residence.

Jonathan's BFF and fellow designer Liz Lange made an appearance and revealed she was "slightly terrified" about his decision to design handbags.

She explained:

"I am a huge bag snob. If it’s not Hermès, I don’t want to wear it. It took me years to accept that Fendi was sort of an upscale brand. I knew I was maybe going to have to carry the bags. Nothing could have inspired more fear in me — except maybe if he was launching shoes. Now that I’ve seen the bags, I think that maybe he could design shoes."

Friendship at its finest!

The bags, priced between $38 for a clutch and $250 for tote, are already available on Jonathan Adler's e-commerce site with more to come in fall.

Take a look at some of his handbag creations in the gallery (below) and tell us what U think!
