I popped in for a quick visit today to check out Clare Vivier’s HQ in Silver Lake. First off all, I love her bags and use them daily. Vivier absolutely nails the tomboy aesthetic, balancing the simple and practical without sacrificing luxury (the leather is so buttery) and style; a perfect marriage between French glamor and minimalist Los Angeles cool. Vivier's bags are quickly becoming the ‘it’ bag of non ‘it’ bags—in fact we counted at least three at the Tomboy Style party at The Avalon Hotel a few weeks ago.Vivier started her business because she felt there was a real void in the market of stylish women’s work bags and laptop cases, since then her brand has grown tremendously and is opening up her first stand-alone shop later this month on Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake. Until then, or if you’re not an Angeleno, check out her website. Plus! Everything is made here in the US of A. Viva Vivier!
