3) Abrott Bags @ http://www.abrot.com/
Abrot (pronounced AH-BRO-T) was founded upon the simple idea of sharing unique and high quality handbags. The name itself is the Polish word for bag, Torba, spelled backwards. Its founders, natives of Poland, would often travel home and bring back finely crafted handbags that could not be found in the United States. The showers of compliments around the bags made it clear that there had to be a way to share these European gems stateside.
