Sooo.... It's real leather. I can only hope its not real dog. (fur that is.) Oh Lord! I was very thrilled to get this real B Makowsky purse for $39.00, originally $248.00. And it smells sooo good because its real leather. All I can say is something "came over me" yesterday at the DSW Shoe Store. I don't believe in killing animals for their fur unless one needs to be warm and the store is sold out of Columbia's and or any other coats. And I don't believe in killing animals to make purses out of their poor hides. I wouldn't want anyone skinning my ass and wearing it on their arm strolling down the street. I really have to stop using the word ass. Sometimes I just feel it has a punch. Ya think?
So I just found this online: And it burst my fur and leather bubble just a tad.
b.makowsky (aka bruce makowsky, the designer) is kathy van zeeland's husband. according to his website the brand was started and launched where kathy van zeeland started her bags - "located in the heart of manhattan's shopping district". so he might have an actual shop in manhattan, but other than that, the only retails his website lists that you can buy his bags are nordstrom, macys, dillards and von maurs department stores.
B. Makowsky does not have an actual store. The company distributes their bags to authorized retailers (Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, Bloomies, Macys, Dillards, QVC). B. Makowsky is an American and his wife is Kathy Van Zeeland. You can kind of tell that they share the same designs (he does leather bags while she will mainly dabble in PVC and occasionally leather and fabric).
The bags are all manufactured in China. OMG! There is that dang China word again!
I try to stay away from Wal Mart where everything is from China. I try to read labels so I don't buy anything unnecessary from China. And what happens? Something comes over me, from China probably..... and I even have to groom it! Problem is I Love "It." "It" takes me from hum drum daily dum to a bit of "out there" like the old days. Don't be worrying...I am not going glitter anytime soon. Although I do have a computer mouse that is all silver glitter. Oh and a scotch tape holder and a flash drive and some socks. No eyeshadow yet. JUST KIDDING JEEZ. I really don't have any glitter socks. You know I stick in a lil white one on occasion. But I will always fess up.
So until I have something "come over me" again, or I find a deal on fur boots (I already have some) be safe, be well, and be happy. Even if it takes buying a cool purse from China. Just don't do it on purpose. And get rich so you can buy American every time. God that better not be anyone's dog on that purse. eeeewww
