Junior Drake
I love to accessorize. You can make an outfit just by adding a great bag or jewelry. I just discovered a great stylish and contemporary handbag company - Junior Drake. Their bags caught my eye, and they definitely need to be on your radar.
Owner, Dennis Brown, built a scrap metal business in LA and about five years ago decided to venture into a new area. I’d say from scrap metal to handbags is quite the new venture! And you can tell his background by the detailed hardware on the bag. The brand is named after his mother, whose stage name was Junior Drake.
You can check out their Spring/Summer line at JuniorDrake.com, and there is a store locator online too.
I love the Jacquelyn Bag. It’s made of soft Italian leather and the braiding is a beautiful accent – and comfortable too. It’s a medium sized tote (15”W x 12”H x 5”D) features braided double straps, a removable shoulder strap, exterior pockets and silver hardware. The bag retails for $460.
The Jacquelyn is available in snow at Shop.com or check JuniorDrake.com for retail locations.
