In Italy everything is an art: food, wine, the way we make our coffee and fashion of course! Moni Moni handbags are handcrafted following Italy’s old traditions of artisanship. They are the pleasure of all senses when it comes to bags. Pictured above is the Dolce Vita, with its super supple body and meticulously crafted handle, in the beautiful country where it is made for girls all around the world who want a piece of that wonderful old world.

SNEAK PEAK: While in Italy I designed a new Moni Moni leather cell phone case and studded leather bracelet line. Here I am in Piazza Navona, Rome sporting the brand new additions to my next collection – details to come!

Gypsy comes in a handful of colors like Black/Purple and Caramel. You can also check out celeb-loved

Welcome to Part 2 of our series following Cinzia’s visit to Italy! Last week we explored how Italy’s surroundings inspired new ideas for Moni Moni, with even a sneak preview of a leather jacket collection in the works. This week, we look into a muse that inspires Cinzia, no matter where she is — her beautiful daughter, Chloe, who happens to be along for the trip! Little Chloe is not only keeping Cinzia on her toes, but is providing good insight with a pair of fresh eyes. Best of all, she’s keeping the smiles big and the hearts warm with Mom and Dad!

Eclectic, boho-chic, and overall just absolutely cute, the Lily handbag is a great choice for those Spring/Summer outfits. Available in over a handful of elegant colors, this Moni Moni eye-catcher has also made Hollywood’s celebrities like Paris Hilton, Ali Landry and Mya fall head-over-heels in love! What’s great about the Lily handbag is that it was designed to not only be a show-stopping bag, but functional and different than any other bag. Donning the signature supple Italian leather that gives Moni Moni bags their vintage-inspired and unstructured look, the Lily’s handles are uniquely designed to make carrying it especially comfortable on your arm. Cotton lining inside the bag ensures all your daily essentials travel with you safely, and the Lily’s storage is comparable to your favorite tote bag. The final touch, of course, is the enchanting lily flower that blossoms down the bag to make this an instant favorite! Also, you can pick up this celeb favorite with an an exclusive 25% discount!

Enjoying her trip to her native Italy, Moni Moni’s designer, Cinzia Moniaci, is being constantly inspired by the country’s beauty. Known for its roman ruins, renaissance palaces, captivating landscapes and unique food, it’s no wonder why Italy is a perfect muse wherever she turns. Let’s see how her visit is helping her flourish her rich, creative background!

 
The rolling landscapes are a sight to see. Cinzia noticed a beautiful contrast between the open fields and the city behind it and took note (Pictured Left).
“The depth and attention to detail in Italian architecture is exactly what I always want to implement in my design,” thought Cinzia (Pictured Right).

 
The nature is especially beautiful during her trip — the flowers seemed more radiant, and the grass more lush (Pictured Left).
Nothing beats relaxing on the shore with a caressing ocean breeze. This is the perfect setting to think about a Summer collection, wouldn’t you say? (Pictured Right)

  
Food isn’t only about taste, but texture and presentation. And, hey, a creative mind can’t work on an empty stomach! (Pictured Left)
With a captivating view like this, how wouldn’t anyone be inspired? (Pictured Right)

    Cinzia has already given us a sneak peak at a leather jacket collection she has going to production. Cinzia shares, “Each jacket matches a bag, this one with the ‘Splendor bag‘ detail on the shoulder will be perfect for Halle Berry” We’re eager to see the collections Cinzia is currently hard at work on, and we’ll be sure to share it with you once they’re revealed!

Stay tuned next week, when we continue Cinzia’s Trip to Italy and discover the muse that inspires with her – no matter where she goes.

When it comes to the most wanted handbag amongst our favorite celebrities like Halle Berry, Jessica Alba and Brooke Shields, there’s no competition — it’s Moni Moni’s Splendor Handbag! So what makes it so popular and in-demand? As our signature bag, it has everything you want in a handbag: the super soft and slouchy leather that makes Moni Moni so popular, a detachable strap allowing for different carrying options, and outside zipper with pouch on top of the already generous carrying space lined with cotton. The effortless, distressed look is one of the key factors of its chic, yet semi-casual design. Even more impressive is the wide array of available colors! Keeping everyone in mind, the Splendor takes on different forms like the Splendor Large for those who need a bit more carrying space in their lives, or the Splendor Fly for those who love a touch of glam!

There’s even a Splendor messenger bag, for a fashionable look that also helps with running those daily errands!

We’re not surprised to see so many celeb-spottings with a Splendor handbag, like on the arms of Denise Richards or Kourtney Kardashian. It just proves that if there were ever an “everyday” handbag for a girl, there’s no doubt: the Splendor is the “it-bag” to get!
Keep an eye out for upcoming Splendor handbag collections, like the Splendor Glamour and the Splendor Rock & Roll!
