Inspired by the impeccable style of Italyโ€™s best-dressed women and modern style icons, Alexandra's handbags are sophisticated and practical styles designed for the busy, modern woman.

The Making of the Loren Tote

Join us behind the scenes during the making of the Midi Loren Tote. The workmanship is made up of slow, careful, encoded gestures that are at the heart of this typically Italian artisanal expertise. If you like seeing how things are made, then you'll love this video!

Today we had one of those shouty, I want to tear my hair out of my head kind of mornings... if your house is inhabited by small children you know exactly what I mean... ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ซ๐Ÿคฌโ € .โ € .โ € Liv woke up saying she didn't want to go to school. It went something like this: 'Mummy, I'm taking the day off, I don't want to go and sit next to a girl who brags all day and annoys me!โ€™, she says this while crying hysterically and refusing to get dressed. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญโ € .โ € .โ € Here we go, I thought to myself, I'm either going to take her to school kicking and screaming (which weโ€™ve done before) or I can think outside of the box and come up with a good reason for her to want to go to school. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’กโ € .โ € .โ € I quickly scanned her room for ideas and saw her Wonder Woman bracelet on her desk. I picked it up and told her that sometimes I also feel like staying in bed because people annoy me, but that we canโ€™t let that ruin our day. I put the bracelet on her wrist and told her to imagine she was Wonder Woman and that whenever she felt annoyed today she could open her bracelet (thereโ€™s a secret compartment with a mirror inside) and imagine herself as WW taking on the world. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ๐Ÿฆธ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธโ € .โ € .โ € She reluctantly put it on and slowly started getting dressed. After a few minutes she came downstairs and showed me a special little treasure she'd hidden inside her bracelet with a big smile on her face. In that moment I felt proud of myself for having kept my cool and averted a crisis and so proud of her for finding something positive to get her through her day. ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ˜€โ € .โ € .โ € I may have to look into getting my own Wonder Woman bracelet now! ๐Ÿ˜‰โ € .โ € .โ € #bravenotperfect #mumgoals #positiveattitude #parentingtips #wonderwoman #oneofthosedays
Please tell me I'm not the only working mama who sheds a few tears when she goes on a business trip? Even if it's just for one day, I get so emotional and stressed out. I hate flying and just the thought of a trip coming up makes me so nervous it screws up my sleep for a week.โ € ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ดโ € .โ € .โ € And that's on top of all the pre-prep a trip requires. School pick-ups and drop-offs to sort out, special snacks that 'only mummy knows how to make the way I want it!' and then there's the homework, PE bags, swimming bag, violin case reminders... I often joke with my husband that my work is done only once my face hits the pillow at night! And that's only if I don't get woken up during the night...โ € ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿฆฑ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŽปโ € .โ € .โ € So here's a shout-out to all the working and non working mamas out there, because parenting is a 24/7, 365 days a year kind of position that no one trains you for! ๐Ÿฆธ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’—โ € .โ € โ € *โ € *โ € *โ € *โ € *โ € #tellitlikeitis #bossladies #mamas #workingmamas #dreamjob #leather #leatherhandbag #italianbags #italiandesigner #girltribe #designerlife #designerlifestyle #italiandesign #italiandesigners #italiancraftsmanship #madeinrome #alexandradecurtis #everythingisfigureoutable
Sunday reading AND studying with @marieforleo and this cuddly guy. This book has so many truths itโ€™s scary but also the kick I needed to set some goals and stick to them! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผโ € .โ € .โ € My bliss only lasted 2 chapters before Tiggy and I were assaulted by the girls for not paying any attention to them, but it was good while it lasted! ๐Ÿˆ ๐Ÿ˜ณโ € .โ € .โ € #mumlife #weekendreading #alwayslearning #femaleceo #catlife #inspiration #everythingisfigureoutable #marieforleo #eif
These two ๐Ÿ’• = the two halves of my heart. โ € .โ € .โ € Motherhood has definitely changed me - I like to think for the better ๐Ÿ˜€ and I have these two beautiful souls to thank for it. Happy National Daughter Day!โ € .โ € .โ € #nationaldaughterday #alexandradecurtis #inspiration #mydesignerlife
Do you wake up every morning excited for what lies ahead? For a long time I dreaded the day ahead. โ € .โ € .โ € Since starting my first business in 2006, I have felt a rollercoaster of emotions. Excited, frustrated, disappointed, proud, angry, tired, happy, scared, stressed, confused... and these are just to name a few. โ € ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ถ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜–๐Ÿ˜ต๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿคฎโ € .โ € .โ € Iโ€™ve had many ups and downs. There were times when I just wanted to give up, curl up in bed and hide away from the world. And there were times when I felt I just couldnโ€™t stop doing something I loved just because it was hard. โ € .โ € .โ € Iโ€™m so glad I kept going all these years because it has taught me the most important life lessons: to be brave, to be resilient, to work hard and always look for new ways to solve problems and to never, ever give up on your dreams.โ € .โ € .โ € I think these are important life lessons especially in this day and age when technology has made our lives so much easier and faster. Where our kids think everything comes easily; including fame, beauty, money, power & happiness. I think itโ€™s time to tell it like it is.โ € .โ €โ € .โ €โ € Life is hard. No matter what it looks like on social media, it can be a shitfest some days, but without the tough days, the days when you just can't face getting up, I wouldn't be the person I am now. I had to learn to keep my chin up, even if I was having a bad day/month/year, to get out of my comfort zone and be brave, to be tenacious and keep at it, no matter what. Hopefully some of these qualities will rub off on my daughters and make them proud to call me mum.โ € .โ € .โ € #alexandradecurtis #inspiration #mydesignerlife #rome #italian #italianstyle #madeinitaly #liveitalian #piazzanavona #rome #madeinitaly #liveitalian #leatherhandbag #entrepreneur #bosslady #femaleceo #designerbags #alexandradecurtis #adctribe #classicstyle #timelessbags #tanbag #tote #satchel #leatherpurse #pursesandhandbags #ihavethisthingwithbags #bagaddict #emergingdesigner #sustainablefashion
