Irish-born architect turned handbag designer, Pauric Sweeney, is fast becoming the next 'It' bag designer. Though his creations stray away from trends, he creates edgy, structured classics that grace the arms of rockstars (Madonna), Hollywood stars (Lindsay Lohan) and everyday women alike. These lustworthy arm candy creations are constructed and crafted in Florence, Italy and made of exotic skins like ostrich and python mixed with eye-popping lamb and patent leather skins. Check out a few of Sweeney's avant-garde purses: Available online at NET-A-PORTER.COM, Brown's Fashion and Pauric Sweeney's website.
