Where else can you shop for exquisitely fine leather by color and/or gender than Jack Georges? I ask you, even when you are standing in a shop on Fifth Avenue with live human bodies, it may take a while to get service by someone who understands you and cares that you make a selection based on value. When I am crunched for time and need to guide a friend to make the appropriate purchase for his board meeting in Japan or my young nieces who feel that they should have a right to look raggedy, I go straight to their online shop.

If you are looking for the unique, original and finest of leather accessories, then go straight to Jack. I can choose from 24 colors, five of which are a combination of two palates, 28 designer collections and three genders. Yes, three. Elegance transcends gender. For spring, I know I need a fresh alternative to the stalwart black or the Holiday season red I have been carrying for months now. That is why I looked to one of my favorite all time purses, the Milano Collection Madison Avenue Tote.

This gem comes in six hues of Italian leather, all scratch and stain resistant for longer wear. The sleek lines and padded envelope for my laptop has made it my perennial favorite because it is understated and sophisticated all at the same time. To infuse a little character, all I have to do is choose the Chartreuse green, Sun yellow or yummy cherry. These ladies purses are so reasonably priced that I have been adding to my collection over the past year.
