True Religion Leyla Bag | $758 via Neiman Marcus
True Religion has become a household name for their amazing jeans. The jeans are edgy and have a little western feel, but fit amazing and have signature pockets that are hard to mistake. With the success of their denim line, True Religion has decided to branch out into handbags. True Religion handbags are designed by Leslie Hsu, fourteen-year design veteran who previously designed for brands Calvin Klein and Tahari. She has opted for fine hand dyed cotton and Italian leathers in the handbag line, and has included weekend bags, hobos, satchels, clutches, and key chains which are all adorned with the signature True Religion horseshoe logo. The handbag line is very in tune with the denim line; adding a chic casual touch with a pinch of western appeal.
When asked about the line she designed and what kind of woman would carry True Religion handbags, Hsu Replied ” I HOPE THAT TRUE RELIGION HANDBAGS APPEAL TO THE WOMAN WHO WANTS A HANDBAG DIFFERENT FROM WHAT’S OUT THERE. IN A SEA OF GREAT LOOKING BAGS, IT’S SO HARD TO MAKE AN ORIGINAL STYLE STATEMENT ABOUT YOURSELF. BUT THROUGH COLOR & STYLE, I THINK YOU CAN SAY SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF WITH A TRUE RELIGION BAG. THEY ARE LUXURIOUS AND SEXY WITH A TOUCH OF BOHEMAIN CHIC, SYNONOMOUS WITH TRUE RELIGION’S SENSE OF STYLE. I WANT THE BAGS TO BE EASY TO WEAR, BUT ALWAYS A CONVERSATION PIECE. I HOPE THAT THE WOMAN WHO WEARS A TRUE RELIGION HANDBAG IS A STRONG WOMAN WHO HAS SOMETHING UNIQUE TO SAY ABOUT HER OWN STYLE. AND MOST OF ALL, I HOPE SHE LOVES IT!”.
Right now, the handbags are already available at Neiman Marcus online and will be carried at major department stores and boutiques world wide. Prices will range from $58 for small leather goods to $898 for handbags.

These are all really cute. Thanks for posting this Megs.
very cute…but seem a bit pricey for that brand….just my humble opinion!!!
not loving it. they should stick to their day job.
What to say…The good thing is that purseblog presents new designers,but boy there is a long road still to tramp. Personally these true-religion bags don´t inspire me at all.I´d rather be without a bag than buy any of the bags shown. Maybe a younger person ,who likes to change her style often, might think differently.
I’m what you call a “younger person” but i think especially for me, i will not be carrying 900 dollar “true religion” handbags…i would rather opt for well known designers for their classy signature bag or a smaller designer who started off with a passion for designing only handbags. I feel like they are just trying to use a name to sell over-priced handbags, after-all, they ARE known for their jeans.
i think its stays loyal to what TR stand for. i like it and it is casual but great quality. even though the couple got divorced i love where she has taken the company. well besides the first batch of jeans with the awful fit.

love, mai lee
as a starting line, they need to do better than that hefty price tag.
$900 on new handbag from a line that makes JEANS…is a hell no
😉 I agree with Meg.The bags especially the leyla day bag gives off that casual chic vibe.
as fug as megs. btw, your hand looks like an animal claw, even with a diamond ring on it. lipstick on a pig, I suppose.
Very ordinary and not worth the price tag. I feel that brands should stick to what they do best and in True Religion’s case it’s jeans.
