Mischa Barton launches bag collection in London

Mischa Barton was in London today to talk about the launch of her own handbag collection.

The line, inspired by vintage finds Mischa has sourced on her travels hits stores on July 2nd, and whilst she's keeping it under warps until then we can reveal that the collection features leather, snakeskin and fabric bags, all finished off with a flower logo hand drawn by Mischa.

'Mischa has always loved fashion' revealed her rep today, 'and especially handbags', which is why she jumped at the chance of creating her own line with a team of designers.

The bags will be sold in John Lewis, Debenhams and Fenwicks in the U.K.

Mischa Barton to launch handbag range
She is probably the only Hollywood-ite left in Tinsel Town who hasn't yet created her "own line of... [fill in the blank]", but it looks like Mischa Barton will soon be joining her A-Lister pals by launching a range of handbags.

The actress, who is currently glitzing it up in Cannes, made a prior pit stop in London, where her forthcoming collection was discussed.

"Mischa has always loved fashion," her rep told Elle. "and especially handbags" which is why she jumped at the chance of creating her own line with a team of designers.

Details are being kept under wraps, but what is known is that her line is inspired by vintage finds that Mischa discovered on her travels, including pieces made from leather and snakeskin, all finished with a flower motif hand drawn by Barton.

The collection is due to hit stores such as John Lewis, Debenhams and Fenwicks from 2nd July.

Amazing job, Chiara

MiScHa <3 · 05-26-2008, 11:05 AM

My pleasure!

Does anybody see tons of google ads about handbags at the top of the page? LMAO.

**Sam_MC** · 05-26-2008, 06:16 PM

LOL yes. They're everywhere.

**Cristofle** · 05-27-2008, 07:33 AM

This is exciting for her!

I really like that little brown one.

Erica_85 · 05-27-2008, 10:32 AM

That's exactly the comment I was gonna respond with! LOL.

**Sam_MC** · 06-16-2008, 06:30 PM

I was just sent an exclusive sneak peak of another one of her bags

And was also exclusively informed that the bags will retail from £20 to £170.

**Cristofle** · 06-16-2008, 06:31 PM

Aw, cool!

CreekFreak · 06-16-2008, 06:58 PM

That's really pretty! The style is very classy.

**Sam_MC** · 06-16-2008, 07:43 PM

Price points between $31 and $260 also seems pretty reasonable.

CreekFreak · 06-16-2008, 07:46 PM

I wonder why it can't come to the US.

**Sam_MC** · 06-16-2008, 07:53 PM

Maybe they will if they are successful in the UK, Japan and Australia.

Those 3 countries seem to be her biggest markets though. Spain too. So I guess it makes sense that she'd launch them internationally first.

CreekFreak · 06-16-2008, 07:57 PM

That's true. Another reason why I need to move.

**Sam_MC** · 06-16-2008, 07:59 PM

But if you move you'll miss the premiere of Assassination of a High School President since the US seems to be the only country getting the release at the moment.
