Stefano Marcantonio and Mimi So hosted an evening soiree


As I entered the Mimi So studio, checked in my coat, and turned the corner, I was astounded by the beautiful jewelry carefully displayed on the tables. One in particular caught my eye. It was the big, bold, geometric, multi sided, 18kt gold and diamond necklace from the Jackson collection.
It was breathtaking. The Jackson collection was inspired by Mimi’s holiday vacation to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. One can easily see the beauty of the landscape in the way each pc was cut. As I continued walking around sipping champagne from Bedell winery(http://www.bedellcellars.com/), I noticed another beauty, the Piece square necklace. Three squares, each one bigger than the other was in crusted with diamonds. I began to think how simple, yet there is a timelessness in its beauty. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere welcoming. I was pleased to learn that all of Mimi’s jewelry is hand crafted in her personal workshop, right here in the studio. Mimi personally works with her staff of master craftsmen to create jewelry that is uniquely special. Each pc is of the highest quality and with carful attention to detail. You can also have your jewelry custom made. When you purchase Mimi so jewelry, expect the best product and a most rewarding personal experience. Mimi’s jewelry has attracted some of Hollywood’s top celebrities, as well as brides to be. The product is well worth the price.

Surprisingly amongst the jewelry was a small fifteen pc collection of luxury leather handbags that is equally beautiful. Hand crafted at Leu Locati, in Milan Italy, the collection was being introduced for the first time by Stefano Marcantonio. The bags are well made and of the finest quality. Each pc is of classic beauty, yet modern with a twist. My favorite pc in the collection was the Meredith strap bag in Python Bordo red, with solid brass hardware. For me the best thing about the bag was the brass skull closure that adds an edge. All the hardware in the collection was hand molded to perfection, adding to the unique quality of the bags. Although the collection was small, there is a style for every woman. One can choose the clutch, shopping bag, folder bag, and of course the strap. Exotic skins and leathers such as calf, crocodile, snake, ostrich, and python added to the luxury, as well as the refined skill in which each bags were made. The colors of the bags were elegant, and lush. Smoky grays to dark red, added to the overall character, and perfect for wearing year round. Because the bags are of such pristine Italian quality, the prices are ranging from 1, 800 and up. Each bag is a masterpiece worth owning. Pieces are available by appointment only. For more information, and to make inquire, you can e-mail Stefano at showroom@stefanomarcantonio.com or Sabrina Chapman at sabrina@sabrinachapmanpr.com. As I began to mingle, meeting Stefano and influential members of the media, and fashion industry, the night became charming and delightful. Each company represents luxury at its best.
