Last week in New York City, Coralie Charriol Paul held a small trunk show debuting her latest collection of handbags at a friend's Fifth Avenue apartment on the Upper East Side. Coralie, who is the creative director of both jewelry and handbags for the Swiss luxury goods company her father Philippe Charriol founded, is also a leading light on the New York social circuit and a mother of two young children. She says she took over designing Charriol handbags seven years ago (turning out two collections per year, most years) because she wanted to adapt the bags to her life, which is both glamorous and busy. "They're practical. You're life fits in it," she says of her designs.

My favorite from her latest Constellation collection is the Cancer (above), which is constructed out of buttery soft black leather and features gold hardware; the Taurus, in tan nylon with snake trimmings, comes a close second. The best part about her bags is that you won't see them on anyone else, and at $500 to $1000 they are well priced given the quality of the craftsmanship and materials.

  • I love Charriol jewelry, they are huge in Europe and Asia but not as well known in the states. Did not know they had bags..

  • Not bad and good price. Way better than the Cartier marcello that cost double! But I think I'll stick with the jewelry.

  • I love that bag, it's a shame that all the ones on their site are blah with ugly logo material.

  • I am with CJ, the bag on Bag Snob is beautiful but the logo ones on the charriol site are so ugly! Where do we buy the leather bags?

  • I agree. The bags on her website are not that attractive.

  • I don't understand... these are still not on the website. Are you sure their from Coralie Charriol?
