In fact, her subdued signature prints and burnished metallic bags rank among the top two or three brands, according to retailers. These stylish and functional pieces.
With her unsurpassed eye for detail and exceptional style, Van Zeeland's line is becoming an important lifestyle brand. She already has expanded from "must-have" handbags and small leather goods to coordinated belts and sunglasses. Incidentally, Van Zeeland's husband, Bruce Makowsky, is the company CEO and co-president.
