What do Jeanne Lottie and Eva Perón have in common? Both have a Pink House in their lives. La Casa Rosada, the Pink House in Buenos Aires, houses the offices of the Argentinian president. It’s from that very same balcony that Evita gave her famous speech that was later immortalized in musical form by Andrew Lloyd Weber. Come spring, Jeanne Lottie will have one more thing in common with the country. For our spring line, we’ll be bringing in bags of Argentinian leather.

The equestrian look is big this season. Buttery-soft leather. Minimalist design. Functional capacity. All in a bag of superb craftsmanship that will last for a very long time. Jeanne Lottie is thrilled about this collaboration.

True Happiness is….True Love, which never ends.

All styles are available online, at retails stores across Canada, and at the Pink House in Toronto.

Available in 4 styles (hobo, tote, travel, and director) and 3 colours (red, tobacco, and dark brown). Prices range from $180 – $300.

Women these days know what they want. Most of the time, they know what they want in life, but they always know what they want in a purse: style, fun, and practicality! The grainy, motorcycle-leather look of Jeanne Lottie Spring/Summer 2010 collection has this to offer to ladies with a good eye for a great deal.  Available in yellow, white, and black, the soft material has the feel and look of leather so genuine it’s hard to tell the difference between what’s real and what’s not.

After all, it’s a woman’s prerogative to keep some things to herself.

True Happiness is…the ability to compromise intelligently!

The Spring/Summer 2010 Motorcycle Leather group comes in 3 sizes, priced at $55 (clutch) and 85$ (hobo and tote with expandable features.)

Last year, Jane Ip, creator of Jeanne Lottie, started a painting class with her talented friend Alexandra Zeremski.  Their first water and acrylic painting together was Basket of Joy.

The subject of this still-life is a purse from the Jeanne Lottie spring/summer 2010 collection whose natural hand-woven straw tote with fuchsia silk flowers is lined with a checkered pattern. ($50; also available in matching flowers.)

How wonderful would it be to go on a picnic with a bottle of wine, some delicious cheese and crackers, and to spend a day out somewhere where the sun is shinning, flowers are blooming, and birds are singing?  Perhaps it’s still cold out there and it’s only end of January, but it doesn’t stop you from using your imagination.  May this straw bag will bring you warm breezes, and a basket of joy to fill with beautiful moments that will happen this summer!

True Happiness is…to be able to imagine
