A great clutch is a must to complete any glamorous look. Purses are important accessories for any black-tie attire, cocktail dresses, and lately, they are making their way to decorate every day looks, thanks to “street style” icons.

The Jada Loveless line of exotic skin bags have everything ladies love. Manufactured in United States, her collection has absolutely stunning pieces: The hand-made alligator clutches sporting hardware encrusted with precious and semi-precious stones are some of our favorites.

I met Jada Loveless at Saks Fifth Avenue San Francisco as she presented her Spring 2016 collection. Loveless is a woman we aspire to be: successful, warm and very chic. There is something very special about her—from the fascinating way she dresses to how she designs her artful pieces. Instantly curious, I engaged Loveless in an informal interview while admiring her collection.

Loveless hails from an interior design background. After graduating from the University of Georgia and Parsons School of Design in NYC, she worked in marketing and public relations at Neiman Marcus. “I always wanted to have my own line,” Loveless said.

In 2006 she launched her own collection. “My clients are fashion forward and enjoy customized, one-of-the-kind pieces,”  she said as she pointed at the gorgeous lavender clutch made exclusively for Saks Fifth Avenue.

For the women who treasure luxury and beauty, these bags are real gems. The collection features a chocolate alligator clutch with faceted smoky quartz and champagne Swarovski pave bar ornament; a cross body alligator handbag with ruby and gold vermeil studs and grommets; and a classic tote in granite metallic alligator with sterling rings and white moonstone and sapphire clasp. Delightful!
