Versatility Meets High-Fashion for Women On The Go!


We have another new arrival here at Aw Else Boutique – clutches with interchangeable covers from Carrie Dunham!

Featured recently in “O” magazine, Carrie Dunham begins to make way into the world of fashion.



Step 1: Select a “naked” bag – which unlike many other interchangeable purse lines can be carried on its own.  



Step 2: Select your favorite cover.  When you collect several covers for your Carrie Dunham purse, you can instantly, completely change the look of an outfit through the simple swap of the cover. 



MORE ON THE BRAND

A lot of women select brands of clothing and accessories based upon not only how the items look, but also upon what we know about the people behind the brand.  At AEB, we carefully select brands to add to our offering with that in mind.  We think you’ll love the story behind this up-and-coming line of handbags.
The Carrie Dunham brand of bags was created by Carrie Hubbell, who left a successful career in finance to pursue her true passion of having her own line of fashionable bags.  As a professional woman, she had trouble lugging her laptop around without damaging it, as did her twin sister (and every other business gal for that matter).  This made her realize that there was a hole in the market for laptop bags – for ones that would both protect a laptop and be fashionable for the woman carrying it.  So while she was attending Cornell University’s Johnson School of Management to advance her finance career, she added some coursework in design and in running a business.
Initially her line, launched in 2008, consisted of reversible laptop bags, laptop cases, totes and camera cases.  Since then, she’s added cases for other electronic devices and the Dunham Clutch and Satchel collections.
She uses colors and patterns with the intent to make women feel revived and energized in their daily lives, to make the routines of women – from students to professionals to stay-at-home moms – both easier and more fashionable.

We NOW Offer East Coast Sparkle and Style!

Our latest additions to our spring jewelry collection are two East Coast fashion phenoms.  Based in Philadelphia and Aston (just outside of Philadelphia), PA respectively, Lenora Dame and John Wind Maximal Art are here, waiting for you to make a statement!


Lenora Dame



Lenora Dame left her thriving career as an advertising executive to focus on jewelry design - and we think you'll be as glad that she did as we are!  Her designs are available in major stores and exclusive boutiques around the world.  She began to get media attention in 2009 when her jewelry was worn by Katy Perry.  






Lenora Dame Statement Flower Necklace




Later, Rachel Zoe featured her designs on Bravo TV.  According to her website, she "set herself apart with a fearless approach that genetically recombines authentic vintage jewelry materials from around the world.











John Wind




We think our John Wind fans are going to go crazy for the new pieces we have at Aw Else Boutique for 2013!  If you're not already familiar with John Wind, he aims to design jewelry that helps people look and feel good.  His designs are influenced by passions for travel, art, fashion, and style, paired with loves of symbolism and history in vintage jewelry.






We like the eclectic pairing of this Lenora Dame necklace with the bow cuffs from John Wind.
Come to Aw Else Boutique to see all that glitters from these designers, as well as new jewelry from SorrelliCreations by Georgianni, and Marlyn Schiff.
