LS: Blackberry, Smith's Lip Salve (great on hands too!), Royal Blue Latico Framed Wallet- style #0155. LS: SN: What are the three items that are always with you, you can't live without, and are always found in your Latico handbag (of course)?
LS: SN: What websites do you visit daily? It's a fresh and fabulous new concept that is extremely useful and organizing. Our inventory has blown out! New for fall, our "CoinKeeper" concept can be found on handbags as well. LS: We have developed and recently patented/trademarked our latest design feature called " CoinKeeper." Currently our wallets feature this concept of an exterior coinslot mechanism that directs change into a clear window compartment inside the wallet. SN: What's next for Latico? Any new design collaborations, products, etc? Celebrities have been pictured with many of our large, colorful weekenders. LS: Loose, fluid silhouettes and vintage-inspired framed small leather goods. SN: As of late, what has been the most popular style(s)? In addition to these colors, we are booking stone, putty, flame, marine, butterscotch, ruby, orange, brown, banana and red amongst others. Fall 2008 will be highly influenced by the purple and greens as shown on the European runways. LS: This season we are selling more color than ever. SN: How important is the use of color to the Latico collections? Traditionally, Latico focused on bags for men and corporate women primarily in Vaquetta Leather with three colorways: black, natural and café. I introduced Latico to women's fashion bags, new leathers, linings, colors and fresh, seasonal, "trending" collections. As national sales manager and design director, "Frye Bags" was my baby for ten years. LS: My involvement first began with our licensing with "Frye" handbags. SN: How did you transition the Latico brand to what it is today? Originally, Paul (founder and president of Latico) imported strictly from South America. We offer our brand at extremely good prices compared to the private label brands we manufacture for (such as Frye). Stylenotes: If someone wasn't familiar with the brand, what would you say is the number one aspect that distinguishes Latico in the handbag category? Stylenotes was lucky enough to ask Lainie Schreiber, the brand's design director and sales manager, some questions we've had on our minds about the brand - including what colors we can look forward to for the upcoming collection! Under the careful tutelage of Lainie Schreiber, the brand has grown into an impressive collection of fashion-forward handbags and wallets.
