James Avery Artisan Jewelry Leather Handbags

From clutches to totes, the Avery Handbag Collection is designed with the same care and attention as the brand's jewelry. Inspired by an original design - the African Beaded Ring featuring swirling lines and a simple textured pattern.

Crafted from premium-quality Italian leather treated to make the inside water resistant and more durable. Available in black, chestnut or red leather. Customize any handbag by purchasing a charm holder and select a personal charm.

Inspired by founder James Avery's original jewelry designs, the Avery Handbag Collection features four handbag styles and three classic colors. From clutches to oversized totes, the line is designed and crafted with the same care and attention as the brand's jewelry.

"Company Founder James Avery is famous for saying that the challenge is to 'keep things simple; avoiding designs that are cluttered, contrived or overly cute'," said James Avery Chief Product and Revenue Officer, Karina Dolgin. "Our simple, yet meaningful, jewelry designs inspired us to create the Avery Handbag Collection."

The company's long-time customers will appreciate the hardware; designed in the Texas Hill Country by James Avery designers to coordinate with the company's jewelry. The collection is inspired by one of their original jewelry designs – the African Beaded Ring. Brought out of retirement due to customer popularity, the ring features swirling lines and a simple textured pattern.

The collection features four styles: a clutch, saddlebag, shopper and tote. All handbags are crafted with premium-quality Italian leather; colors include red, black and chestnut.

Each handbag has a water-resistant interior, a one-year manufacturing warranty and comes with care tips to ensure long-life. Prices range from $250 to $490.

"The Avery Handbag Collection is designed for all occasions," said Dolgin. "They are made with the same integrity and quality you've come to expect from James Avery jewelry."
