Lebanese designer Elie Saab has launched his new handbag collection, Poincaré. The set of five handbags was created in the design studio of Elie Saab’s Parisian headquarters located on avenueRaymond Poincaré in the 16ème district.

At once strong and well-structured, the bags are suspended from metal and leather straps. The bags can be handheld with their jewelry-inspired chain adorning the wrist, or worn elegantly over the shoulder.

The range includes a large trapeze-shaped leather handbag featuring horizontal quilted panels alongside medium and small-sized versions, with matt metal clasps featuring a unique horizontal sliding mechanism. There is also an envelope and a box clutch, that has an inimitable combination of a metal frame with a pivoting soft pouch. The mono and tricolour handbags are available in three opulent colors including merlot red, forest green and tenebrous black.

The Poincaré handbag collection will be introduced for the Autumn-Winter 2014/15 season, and will arrive in stores mid-July.
