YIELD TO THE JOURNEY WITH VALENTINA

hit the trail in confidence with the VALENTINA MESSENGER. perhaps your headed to the market or perhaps all the way to morocco, in either regard, you will feel at ease with this street savvy, show stopper.  androgynous, and about the size of a postal bag, THE VALENTINA is a true serious player, styled for success and stunning in its simplicity.  it will swiftly become your new essential.  

up top you see THE VALENTINA crafted of a full grain, re-purposed deep umber leather. flaunting a fully riveted front flap with chevron detailing, interior lap top compartment, adjustable shoulder/cross-body strap with brass bull ring buckle,  and a separate zipper pocket for gadgets on the go.  

the black version of THE VALENTINA is built of a luxurious new zealand black lamb, embellished with two rows of polished, provocative, silver spots, and a cush shoulder pad. 

GRACIAS AMIGOS!

THE ROSA STUDDED CLUTCH

here we have the ROSA STUDDED CLUTCH. named after my own mama and original muse. in this new rif on the clutch silhouette, you will get a row of rivets at the bag's 

opening, and a playful tassel at the zipper pull. 

the tension between raw and polished, primitive and industrial, sophisticated and simple, is explored in this design, which will make it a worthy member in your curio cabinet of carry goods.

this particular rendition of THE ROSA STUDDED CLUTCH, is handcrafted of a 5 ounce blush pebbled nappa ~ so sturdy and sublime. 

please note that THE ROSA is available in a multiplicity of colors based on current color stock in my studio.

thank you so very much for stopping in!

CARBONE'S PASSION for FASHION SHOW

i am beyond thrilled to announce that my work will be hitting the runway this week, and i would love nothing more than to share the evening with you and yours for this most necessary cause!

come on out and see SITALISA MARIE carry goods, en masse, accessorizing the many models... luggage sized bags, totes, clutches, and more. 

CARBONE'S PASSION for FASHION SHOW. 

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER, 13, 2012 6 pm

THE EDGEWATER HOTEL

666 WISCONSIN, AVENUE, MADISON

this is a particularly special event, as all of the models are cancer survivors and the proceeds go to benefit the UW CARBONE CANCER CENTER. so, not only is it a celebration of style, but more importantly, a celebration of life!!! i believe it takes all of about a split second to conjure up the folks we know who have been touched by cancer.

front row seats: $50.

all additional seats: $25

purchase tickets online HERE.  

i have known, for some time, that i want my my design work to have some reach into a larger humanitarian project, and i am delighted that this is the first embodiment of such a mission. 

to CREATE, to COLLABORATE, to CULTIVATE COMPASSION, to effect CHANGE,

to CELEBRATE LIFE! 

 below you will see a photo of a one off design i have donated to the large silent auction which begins at 6 pm.  if you covet this piece, even remotely, this auction will be your opportunity to secure it as your own. this design will not be replicated, or added to the permanent SITALISA MARIE COLLECTION.  this tote is crafted of a warm red brown bison leather with turquoise nappa detailing, adjustable shoulder strap with bull ring buckle (not shown), fully lined interior zipper pocket and one exterior patch pocket... 

a quintessential carry good that will show up for you wherever you may find yourself.
