New York based accessory designer Elissa Bloom offers a fresh approach within the fashion industry with her namesake stylish accessory collection, which launched in 2002. After being 'discovered' by Bloomingdale's in 2000, this self-taught artist decided it was time to combine her passion for art with her merchandising savvy and create her own line. Her now famous signature designs have turned the ordinary coin purse and cosmetic bag into a glamour and fashion statement.

Elissa's first products featured her trademark beaded faces, which won a loyal following and fashion industry acclaim. Soon after, Bloomin Designs was in full-scale production with an array of embellished accessories featuring Elissa's colorful and whimsical designs. Elissa Bloom now presents a complete collection of cosmetic bags, totes, clutches, wallets, luggage tags, diaper bags and the all-time favorite coin purses.

Elissa Bloom has partnered with the Ellie Fund and the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition for the second year and has designed two new beautiful beaded coin purses to help raise money for these charities. With stunning three dimensional beaded pink and teal ribbon motifs, these are the perfect gifts to increase awareness.  Ten percent of all retail proceeds will go to The Ellie Fund (www.elliefund.org) and the NOCC (www.nocc.org).

Luxurious Lace is just one of the new facets of Elissa’s Summer 2007 collection.  These cosmetic bags, pouches and jewelry rolls are satin with a sexy black lace overlay and come in two luscious colors; teal and pink. They make great holiday gifts that everyone will love.  Perfect for any jet setting fashionista!
