Franchi Handbags: Franchi handbags started humbly in 1995, with founder Franco Franchi at the forefront of the design team. While all designing of evening and day handbags is done in Italy, Franco Franchi still finds the importance of staying on the pulse of emerging handbag fashions and trends. This is, in turn, the driving force behind his styles and is reflected throughout each season. As a result of his success, and a significant amount of brand exposure, Franchi has acquired two licenses, Cynthia Rowley and Badgley Mischka, pushing him to the cutting edge of fashion. Glamour meets affordability in each Franchi handbag collection which boasts rich velvets, Swarovski crystals and their trademark silk. Franchi handbags and Franchi clutches are both chic and simple in design, making them desirable for both formal and casual occasions, and a favorite for bridal events. In 2006, Franchi branched out again with a new line of trendier, enlarged clutch style handbags that encompass a day-to-night theme, while still staying true to the basic and classic elements of the original brand. Through constant growth and wide exposure, Franchi handbags will continue to provide you with the perfect bag for every occasion.
