Yet another celebrity has entered the realm of handbag designer - model Camila Alves whose main claim to fame seems to be having the baby of Matthew McConaughey. According to the press release, the word "Muxo" supposedly means "Goddess of the Water" in African (I'm not sure what language that is, exactly).
Each bag is handcrafted of Brazilian leather (Ms. Alves is originally from Brazil) and her partner is her mom who has a background in fashion design. I love rags to riches stories and this is one of the best - Ms. Alves came to this country and cleaned houses to make ends meet. She loves to travel and her bags reflect her love of New York and her love of her native country, Brazil.
These leather handbags range in price from $450.00 to $1,400.00 - no word yet on where they will be sold.
