F&M in World Bride Magazine

World Bride Magazine has featured Freddy&Ma and mentions our custom trunk shows as a great gift for bridesmaids.  We couldn't agree more!  Our coral print purses are getting quite a lot of press this spring!

defending sienna

During my daily lunchtime "smut break" I came across this article about our favorite girl sienna, which was pretty blatantly criticizing her for "indulging" in SWAG at Sundance. 

From the Fred Segal boutique, $300 in Le Mystère Lingerie panties, which they said Miller took after telling them she'd forgotten to pack her "knickers"; $200 boots by Earth shoes; a $400 Portolano brown cashmere shawl; and a $450 Linea Pelle handbag. From the Kari Feinstein Style Lounge, a $1,200 Melrose Mac laptop, which staffers said Miller was "very excited" to take. From the Jessica Meisels Marquee Lounge, $8,000 of Lia Sophia jewelry, an $800 Botkier bag and $900 in Dermalogica skin care products, which she was delighted to receive, according to those present, because she's been traveling for a month and has run out of "everything."

What is a bit baffling to me is that these companies pay HUGE amounts of money to be in the presence of people like sienna so that they can GIVE her their products.   So I really don't understand why there is so much criticism towards the celebrities who take what is offered to them.  I would get pretty excited if someone was giving me a free MAC!!!

"and though she could be distracted by all the freebies being hurled at her (and her publicist insists they were hurled)"

When Freddy met Sienna, she politely asked if she could BORROW our bag, not if she could have it, when she is fully aware that everyone wants to give her things.  Makes me think of that old cliche, don't hate the player, hate the game.

i heart NY

someone passed along a chain email to me once which listed a lot of the crazy little things that you get used to and take for granted living in NYC.  people think that city folk aren't friendly but yesterday i was all psyched for my morning coffee (i love "street" coffee and detest starbucks) and my coffee guy was not at his usual post on 7th ave......for a minute I got worried that something terrible might have happened and ran out of the subway this morning hoping to find him safe and sound......turns out his wife had a baby boy yesterday and he was back hard at work today!  see how lovely our little city can be?

Freddy&Ma (and Sienna Miller) in InTouch

So one of our favorite gossip rags, InTouch Weekly, is reporting that Sienna Miller picked up a Freddy&Ma Hazel purse from the little Freddy&Sienna encounter we told you about last week.  Sienna now has her very own leather Hazel Purse.  You too can own one of these very limited edition items by checking out our leather bag collection HERE. 

F&M in What's Haute

Freddy&Ma made the What's Haute List of Hangbags for 2006 !  You can read what else made the cut here.   We have enjoyed a nice bit of press lately, it is great to see many people like our concept and our bags!

how I spend my weekend

Most of the time, we leave the textile design up to our fabulous designers but when I'm "not working" I like to experiment and create some of my own.  I'll be ordering some bold summer bags for myself with these funky prints.
