Jimi Hendrix, rock and roll superstar during the psychedelic era of the late 1960's, now has his own line of handbags thanks to a collaboration between a designer, Jimi Hendrix's sister, and a rock photographer.
This vibrant and charismatic singer embodied a strong sense of cutting edge fashion in his time and the newly designed handbags feature a rare photo of Jimi shot at a 1968 show in San Francisco. The collection features 12 more expensive bag designs and 16 less costly handbags and their debut was at the Project Show in New York.
Jimi's sister wanted to get away from basic t-shirts with her brother's picture to a higher end product that is more appropriate in honoring Jimi's name. Her goal is to "create and help put Jimi's music and image out there in creative, original ways."
Hopefully, we will all be able to see and experience (and even own!) one of these bags - be on the watch at your local high end department and specialty store!
