Designer Handbags for Alpha Females

I know I am not supposed to promote this if I’m being politically correct, but I couldn’t resist when I laid my eyes on this “must have” line for powerful alpha females. How could you resist these spectacular designer handbags from Vileger & Vandam of Rotterdam? Even the name “Gun Charm” has a delicious sound. The Guardian Angel line reminds me of gorgeous but dangerous undercover agents in James Bond movies.

I just love the idea of how they take leather and mold it into the shape of a gun, producing these stunning satchels. In 2005, the Moma Museum of Modern Art in New York included a Guardian Angel bag in their exhibition “Safe, Design Takes On Risk”. In 2006 MoMa added a Guardian Angel bag to their permanent collection. If you buy one, remember you are wearing a modern art piece.
