I’ve been hearing the name Linea Pelle a lot lately, but have never really explored the line.  Kim of crowded-closet.com told us back in April that she’s been carrying her Lauren Conrad for Linea Pelle bag nonstop.  She raved about the durability of her bag.  I also had a friend pick up a Linea Pelle belt a few weeks ago, and was surprised to find out that it was crafted from vintage materials!  Wanting to know more about the line, I did some research over the weekend and here’s what I found from their website:

“Linea Pelle is internationally distinguished as the premiere designer belt company offering the very best in casual luxury.  Linea Pelle also designs chic casual handbags and small leather goods which have been receiving accolades from the fashion industry…”

I wanted to take it a step further and pull a few of my favorites from the Linea Pelle line to review.  Overall, I found them surprisingly affordable for such expert quality.  Also, I couldn’t help but notice how their handbags have a classic appeal without being overtly trendy.  Here are a few of my favorites out right now:

1. Linea Pelle Medium Dylan Tote, $415
Shown in sand, the Linea Pelle Dylan Tote is also available in black, cobalt, espresso, Kelly green, and zucca (orange).  Featuring solid brass hardware and washed Italian leather, there are two inside utility pockets along with a zip pocket.  My favorite feature of this bag is that it can be worn as a cross-body or a shoulder bag.

2. Linea Pelle Vintage Skinny Belt, $145
This vintage skinny belt with multi-row hammered studs is as versatile as it is pretty.  I love the two-tone hardware because I often switch back and forth between silver and gold tone accessories.  I also think it coordinates well with the Dylan tote!

 3. Linea Pelle Dylan Perforated Wallet, $145
Part clutch, part wallet, all practicality.  This Linea Pelle Perforated Wallet nails the cutout trend we’ve been seeing a lot lately, and the price point is equally nice.  Features a zebra lining and brass hardware
