Famous quilted purses

It's interesting:
"The best way to get a wedding reception crowd on side is too say something nice about the bride ... You could also add that it's been a wonderful wedding so far."

Once upon a time, quilting was a homely craft reserved for blankets and other household items. Then, high fashion took a shine to quilting and created best-selling accessories that feature the diamond pattern. Today, quilted purses are sought-after items of haute couture.

Does this Spark an idea?

1. Chanel

   • Coco Chanel was the quintessential Parisian fashion designer: chic and instinctively well ahead of her time, trailblazing with women’-s pantsuits and suntans and transforming them into de rigeur Chanel. She is perhaps best known for her classic fragrance “-Chanel No. 5,”- but her interlocking letter C logo also graces the quilted bags that are synonymous with the name Chanel. The Chanel Vintage Lambskin Black Flap Bag features the classic gold metal turn clasp and chain shoulder strap that tucks under the flap so the bag can be hand carried. The red leather interior lining is another noteworthy touch to this day or evening purse. For evening wear, there is the Chanel Metallic Evening Bag, crafted of metallic silver soft lambskin leather in the quilted pattern, with a kiss lock and goldtone hardware. The interior is silver leather with a zippered pocket. The bottom of the bag features a quilted CC logo. Another great Chanel classic is the Pink Valentine Charm Lambskin Bag, with goldtone hardware and delicate charms on the handle. Quilted Chanel handbags are available in black, navy, white, pink and red.

   Jacobs

   • The New York-born fashion designer Marc Jacobs is famous for his clothing lines, fragrances, sunglasses, watches and the Marc Jacobs Quilted Stam Bag. The Stam bag is named for the Canadian model, Jessica Stam. It is available in a selection of exquisite styles, each with signature features including rolled leather handles, kiss lock closures and zipper pockets at the front of the bags. The Quilted Classic Stam comes in stone (beige) or black quilted leather with tonal topstitching and goldtone hardware. There is also a Soft Quilted Stam Satchel in fuchsia or gray quilted leather. Like the Classic Stam, the Satchel features top handles with rings and a framed top. There is a chain shoulder strap and goldtone hardware and the signature front zip pocket. Another eye-catching item is the Crystal Quilted Stam Satchel. This comes in black or dark blue leather with elegant Swarovski crystal detailing, sparkling goldtone hardware, top handles with rings and a chain shoulder strap. Marc Jacobs is a multiple award winner in the fashion industry. In 1984, he was named Design Student of the Year at the Parson’-s School of Design, where he designed and sold his first collection of hand-knit sweaters.

   Prada

   • Miuccia Prada, granddaughter of the founder of Italy’-s world-renowned Prada, is credited with creating the famous Prada Quilted Nylon Messenger Bag, with its stylish front and back zip compartments, adjustable shoulder strap and silver hardware. Prada also features the Black Tessuto Chevron Quilted Handbag with goldtone hardware, top zip closure and patent leather strap, and the Black Tessuto Quilted Nylon Bag.
