Andrea Brueckner Handbags

Canadian born Andrea Brueckner has been making waves in the handbag world. But this should not be surprising, as her bags are designed impeccably and come together beautifully. Andrea Brueckner was born in Canada but studied fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. After her studies, Brueckner apprenticed under master-mind menswear tailor, Craig Robinson, learning the art of draping and patern making, which now can be seen in her handbag line. Her debut handbag line was released in 2004, and has been picked up by a slue of stores and online boutiques since. She has garnered a long list of press and many of Hollywood’s girls have been seen sporting her bags, such as Jessica Alba. Below are some of my favorite bags from this hot new designer.
