My first exposure to Nina Ricci came years ago, when I managed a cosmetics store and sold at least a bottle a day of her famous L’Air du Temps fragrance. Today, I admire the house for its impeccably designed handbags. It’s an art that they’ve mastered, resulting in sleek, elegant and ladylike styles that always capture attention – but politely. The Liane Frame Top-Handle Bag exudes a slightly old-fashioned grace, but also feels modern and fresh thanks to an eye-popping little jeweled latch closure. This is the perfect bag for a night of drinks and jazz or a dinner meeting (yes, this looks as smashing with a suit as it does with an LBD). Pre-order it for $1950 at Neiman Marcus.
