		<description><![CDATA[	Belen Echandia handbags are rarely on sale because the price point relative to workmanship and quality is already excellent and our Italian handbags are made in such small quantities that we usually sell out quickly.
	Despite this we know that everyone loves the occasional bargain so for the last 5 years we have consistently rewarded our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“That is one GREAT bag!”

“Why, thank you! I love it too.”

“Who makes that bag??”

“Tsk, tsk, Belen Echandia, of course!”

“Wow, I haven’t heard of them.”

“Let me take you on a fantastic voyage into a world of gorgeously scintillating leathers, a small Italian leather-making shop, and a girl who knows her handbags…”

And so begins my conversation with my mail carrier…or my banker…or the receptionist at my hair salon, or at the dry cleaners. Because no matter WHAT I am wearing, it is my gorgeously stylish and functional BE bag that everyone notices (and not my icky sweats, on bad days, or even the jeans that FINALLY make my tush look pretty, on good days!)  

Welcome to central New Jersey, just 40 miles south of the ever-bustling Manhattan, minutes from the well-known beaches, where Coach®, Louis Vuitton®, and Vera Bradley® are e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e – not that I have anything against such brands. But they are just so….common, dare I say it - ordinary. Nothing special in my book, where as my BE bag, whichever one it may be that day (as my closet has done nearly a complete 100% conversion over to the BE styles, thereby allowing my closet to smell richly of leather ALL THE TIME), is unique in it’s style, one of a few offered in each style, with the utmost attention paid to detail and design. Soooooo much more worth the money!

Alright, alright, let me back up. I’m a mother of two boys, ages 4 and a half, and one year.]]></description>

	Balance, a desirable point between two or more opposite forces. 
	Isn&#8217;t that a lovely image? When I imagine it, I feel calm and indeed I feel happy.  And that&#8217;s why we, as mothers, work so hard to attain it.

	Hong Kong shoppers do not seem to buy out of necessity &#8212; as long as it&#8217;s something that is up-to-date and stylish, they will it. I recently found out that Asia accounts for 40% of world luxury brand sales and outside of Japan, Hong Kong buys more luxury items than any other Asians. A [...]]]></description>

	I flew out to Italy on Monday morning.  Unfortunately in the last few months I have developed a fear of flying, which wasn&#8217;t helped by the recent Madrid crash and the media coverage of every small incident which followed, so I wasn&#8217;t much looking forward to it. But the flight was wonderfully smooth and [...]]]></description>
