Rocio Handbags:

The UK fashion label Rocio was launched in London back in August 2006 with an artistic direction "to create a luxury collection of handbags that would return fashion to the arts."

Since Rocio's debut the label has been taken to the heart "au coeur" by fashionistas around the world. It is now sold in over 30 countries by some of the world's most prestigious stores, including L’Eclaireur in Paris, Penelope in Italy, Isetan & Mitsukoshi in Tokyo and Etoile in Dubai.

Shop for Rocio Handbags:

Created by designers Hamish Menzies and Rocio Olbes, the collections include classical and contemporary evening bags, sophisticated clutches and delicate purses. Rocio bags aren't just ordinary handbags, they are glamorous works of art.

You can shop for Rocio Handbags online (Visit Their Website) with prices ranging from $400 to $1,400. We had an opportunity to discuss the line with Rocio. You can read the interview below.

Rocio Interview:

The designs utilize the finest natural elements including beautiful sustainable woods and complements them with an array of luxurious contemporary materials such as precious stones, gems, pearls, crystals and fine leathers. The line features the highest craftsmanship available to create pieces that simply take your breath away in style and elegance.

What's your inspiration behind the designs?:

My inspiration comes from so many things but most of all I draw inspiration from the people around me and my travels. When you embrace another culture and you truly experience, the inspiration that comes from that is endless.

What trends in handbags do you anticipate for the summer?:

BOLD. Statement pieces are in. From handbags to jewelry, women this summer should not be afraid to be wearing bold statement pieces which scream confidence and style. From geometric shapes, bold colors, exotic and ethnic inspirations ... rich tones, prominent stones and gems. It is all about your accessory become the bold statement piece of your ensemble.

If a woman can only afford one new bag this season, what style should it be?:

That depends on the woman. I believe that every woman is unique and has their own special style which defines them. I would say when choosing a handbag for this season, select one which you feel best about not what you feel others feel best about. Choose the handbag which fits you and that you feel most confident wearing.

Any other tips for accessorizing with handbags that you'd like to provide?:

Don't over do it. If you are wearing a plain dress don't be afraid to wear a bag that is bold and grabs a lot of attention, and if you are wearing a dress which dazzles choose a simple handbag to complement your outfit. It is all about finding the right balance and harmony.
