Judith Leiber’s minaudière designs have been a beloved American treasure since their birth in 1963. An immigrant from Hungary, Ms. Lieber came with her husband after WWII circa 1947, bringing a glamorous eye and hand to match. Her design collections have been permanently housed in The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The Smithsonian Institute in Washington, The Houston Museum of Fine Arts and the Los Angeles Museum of Art. Not to mention, just about every First Lady since 1963 has clutched on to one of these at the U.S Presidential Inauguration ceremony. Current First Lady Michelle Obama has not ceased to join the bandwagon either.

This handbag, “Chocolate Bar”, makes the perfect ornament to a classic black dress or any dress that has room to be creative. You can practically skimp out on bracelets and rings all together if you’re carrying this glitzed charm.  Judith Leiber’s rich history is a novelty within itself and becoming a part of her American following is not something to miss out on.
