he quest for classy handbags is often complicated by aggressive, flashy advertising campaigns in high fashion magazines with scantily clad females posing seductively with beautiful totes, purses and clutches. While the ads are great, many of the products lack true style and commitment, and rather look like a patchwork of conflicting ideas that complicates your uptown style instead of complementing it.

Fortunately Lambertson Truex is here to help with their line of high-end handbags that they promote as “forever” bags. These purses have been crafted with exquisite materials, often leather (shh – don’t tell PETA), and with the opening of the NYC flagship boutique, customers can now customize their desired handbags with their choice of skin (crocodile, python, ostrich, suede, Buffalo leather, etc.). With time, the leathers soften nicely and being to age beautifully the more they are used.

While bags are their forte, the designer duo has forayed into the world of shoes, gloves, belts and small goods – all crafted from various leathers that can be mixed and matched with the handbag styles. A men’s line of footwear, belts and gloves is also available at the Madison Avenue boutique. Luxurious, classic, high-quality products that women of all ages can wear ensures Lambertson Truex will be around for a while. –E.J.
