Judith Leiber Wants Her Bags Back

Longtime purse designer Judith Leiber is a mission to regain her own bags for her exhibit in the Leiber Museum in the Hamptons, NY.
Leiber says, “I had to leave the archives with the company when I sold the company. [As a result,] I’ve had to collect my bags from auctions, people have given me bags and some people are leaving us their bags in their wills, which is very nice. I have about 850 now, but I made about 3,500 in my day, so I’m still looking around for more.”
Leiber is the designer who made the jeweled minaudier a must-have for women across the globe. You know, sparkly panda bears and sequined apples.
If you have a Leiber bag, send it in to her! They’re ugly, anyway – you don’t need ’em!
