Toronto Fashion Week: Jessica Jensen and Alexander Berardi make beautiful bags together

Collaborations are a dime a dozen these days, but in New York designer Alexander Berardi, Toronto handbag designer Jessica Jensen seems to have met her fashion soul mate. The pair met a year ago and “fell in love with each other’s product”–business speak to be sure, but respect is genuine and the results are lovely. Fabrics from Berardi’s “Breathless”-inspired, Hamptons-ready spring collection are threaded through Jensen’s woven leathers, tied in floppy bows around the handle of a box satchel or formed into rosettes and attached to a coin purse.
