The event starred Laura Buccellati and the reveal of her latest luxurious handbag collection. Held at the Jade Ocean, the guest list was filled with Miami’s top socialites and movers. Fortune International’s Ana Cristina Defortuna hosted the intimate luncheon for the unveiling of the Collection, an exquisite line of exotic skin handbags. Laura was joined by business partner Lily Azel and the crème de la crème of the socialite world including Hello Campos, Trudy Courey, Yolanda Berkowitz, Beth Tasca and Jean Marie Kouri.

Guests enjoyed an Italian-inspired menu paired with specially selected wines by Italian Wine Merchants. In honor of the launch and Laura’s birthday, the ladies were then treated to a surprise dessert of cupcakes appropriately shaped like handbags. Each guest was presented with customized white gloves to wear so they could handle each of the 12 exotic skin handbags displayed on personalized pedestals. Vivian Feinberg was announced the lucky winner of a Laura Buccellati card case. Buccellati’s new handbag collection features timeless works of art that cater to the discriminating connoisseur.
