The Hella Hobo handbag from Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. collection runs about $72 at LeSportsac at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center.
Stefani turns designer
It used to be enough that singers wanted to be actors and actors wanted to be singers. These days, the stars also want to add "designer" to their resumes.On the heels of J. Lo, Gwen Stefani has debuted her L.A.M.B. collection of handbags, travel bags and accessories created in collaboration with LeSportsac. The limited-edition collection combines LeSportsac's signature rip-stop nylon and grosgrain logo tape with leather trims, guitar-strap webbing, antiqued metal hardware and colorful lining material.
Products will be printed in a gothic Old English font with a combination of Stefani's favorite words: love, angel, music and baby.
The lead singer for No Doubt was named to Vogue's 2002 Best Dressed list, but long before the fashion world took notice, her creative style marked her as a pop-music icon.
The collection is available at LeSportsac in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center and DFS Hawaii. Her clothing line is slated to debut this spring.
