Fodor's Expert Review Braccialini
Founded in 1954 by Florentine stylist Carla Braccialini and her husband, Robert, Braccialini makes bags that are authentic works of art in bright colors and delightful shapes, such as London black cabs or mountain chalets. The adorably quirky tote bags have picture-postcard scenes of luxury destinations made of brightly colored appliquéd leather. Be sure to check out their eccentric Temi (Theme) creature bags; the snail-shaped handbag made out of python skin makes an unforgettable fashion statement.
