Handbag lady, that is. She’s a designer who caters to the affluent, and many promin-. ent women including Nancy Reagan are her customers. Some think nothing of paying $3,000 for an alligator travel bag or $2,000 for a handbeaded evening purse. “Look, there’s a reason for my price tags,”* 1 LeiExr said, as she showed a $2,000 rhinestone studded metal box evening bag. “There are 8,000 to 9,000 tiny stones, hand cut crystals from Austria, all put on by hand.” The Hungarian-born desig- r manufactures nothing but latter You can pick up a silver- plated, three-row stretch belt with antique-like clasp inlaid with simulated black diamonds and two onyx stones for $260. Or, there’s a leather belt with a 1920s-inspired buckle of simu lated black diamonds and semi precious stones to harmonize with the belt color, only $215. Leiber’s designs, about 100 each year, are found only at the finest stores and specialty shops in the country. Understandably so, at those prices. She said the recession hasn’t hurt her multimillion-dollar business one whit. “Instead, there seems to be a resurgent demand for quality,” she said. “More Americans are leaning to the European habit of buying less, but better. “After all, if an elegant woman pays $5,000 for a (James) Galanos gown, she can afford a $2,000 evening bag. These things endure.” Certainly it’s built an endur ing business for Leiber and her husband, Gerson Leiber, an artist. She is president of the family-owned firm and he is sec retary-treasurer. T he volume is in the millions annually. She has picked up several de signer awards along the way, in cluding a special Coty American Fashion Critics’ award in 1973. Judith Leiber was born in Budapest and learned her trade by doing. She said she was the first woman accepted as an apprentice in the Hungarian Guild handbag system. She rose in the prescribed steps to jour- handbags and belts, the equally crafted, but less expen- 1 (2oCCe.c)e. <StatLon'i fine, dtalian -eitaurant 696-7311 Thursday: Wine Sampling Sample a glass of your favorite wine from our wine list either with dinner or while relaxing in our comfortable new lounge.
