A Basket Case - Easter Finds 

 

Spring!  A time to travel light.  So why is it that every time the season rolls around, your load seems to get Barbara Rihl Handbag heavier?  It's the paradox of warm weather:  No big coat pockets for your stuff, so you end up carrying everything but the kitchen sink in your bag!

 

And what's better for that than designer,  Barbara Rihl's handbags?  Barbara Rihl's bags are made of lively colors and luxurious materials and reflect her enthusiasm for travel, fashion and over all a bright sense of humor.

 

Austrian born and the wife of Pierre Herme, the 'macaroon king', launched her flagship store in Paris in 2010.  Her boutique is dedicated to fabulous creations of handbags and other accessories.  Her collection is geared towards the chic traveler, thBarbara Rihl Handbage jet setter, the city slicker and those who simply appreciate high quality yet affordable style.

 

CT Weekends in Cameron Village is the only place you'll find these witty, cheerful and fun bags.  Carry a  Barbara Rihl handbag and get organized with zippered compartments that make them sharp enough to take to the office and sturdy enough to hold all your essentials, folders, iPhones, flip-flops ... Just be sure to leave room for that emergency stash of protein bars and wine coolers.  Have fun with them.  And pray for sun, because it's about time you made it to the beach!

The Beltline Buzz items are selected by our editors.  No one can pay to be featured on The Beltline Buzz..  That's what advertising is for, and it's always labeled as such.  Selling ourselves (literally) would destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of  The Beltline Buzz.  Plus, we'd never earn your trust that way.  So we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest accessory we told you about.

 

That said, on occasion, we will send out "Dedicated" e-mails on behalf of sponsors.  You'll recognize them from the subject line: "The Beltline Buzz Dedicated E-mail."  Yes, these are paid for.  And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone.  Not for any amount of money. 

 

We hope that you continue to enjoy your Beltline Buzz.  We look forward to delivering it.
