A luxury lifestyle handbag label that celebrates the strong, creative spirit of women.

Dec. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- The inspiration for the Collection comes from the work of painter Mark Rothko, who used color to communicate emotion and passion. The formal shapes in his work are blocks of color — mesmerizing in their depth and complexity… and sensuous in their rounded, wispy edges… and powerful in their delicate balance with each other.

In exacting detail, he created almost dreamlike works of art, layering colors as if they were heartfelt feelings blended together right on the canvas. It’s no wonder he once wrote that “art to me is an anecdote of the spirit.”
   

It is this ability of color and shape to spark passion and the human imagination, to which we offer an homage with the 2011 Collection: Cascade of Colors.

Rothko once wrote that “shapes have no direct association with any particular visible experience,” but he knew that shapes had powerful emotional impact. In fact, he called them “performers.” And in his paintings he said that these performers were creating “an unknown adventure in an unknown space.”

Just like we do in our lives everyday.
   

All of us are on an unknown adventure, pursuing it everyday we step out into that great “unknown space” we call the world. With the power of our spirit, we each create our own space — one with depth and balance and even luminosity. And we invite others into that space, to experience it in a way that Rothko described as “not grandiose... [but] intimate and human.”

Rothko believed that art must be experienced. So open your heart to the sublime richness of your own spirit. Blend colors and shapes to create your own unique presence, let your “performers” express the story of your life, and let the world experience the work of art that is you.


What's your manifesto?

There is no single "Melba Christine woman."

Today’s agenda might be fun. Tomorrow’s might be running the show at work. She may be a strong protector one minute, and a funny-girl the next. She embraces life and love with abounding passion. She conquers adversity and rises above life’s challenges, all while wearing her heart on her sleeve. So many things, so many lives, so many women.

One look. One fit. One choice, could never be enough. She is classic, bold, tough, feminine... and more. Sometimes one at a time, sometimes all at once.

She chooses her look to make a statement. To make an impact. To tell the world who she is and what she’s about, today, right here and right now. So... What are you about? What’s your mood, what’s your challenge, what’s your inspiration? What do you want to say to the world?

Declare yourself. What’s your manifesto?

A luxury lifestyle handbag label that celebrates the strong, creative spirit of women.

Melba Christine is more than a label... it’s a journey. Every woman has many sides, many passions, many strengths, and many expressions of herself.

Every Melba Christine collection is a celebration and exploration of that creative spirit. We celebrate you... the woman with a zest for life, the woman who finds inspiration in everything around her. Her favorite colors. Her favorite foods. Her favorite music. Her favorite special places, wherever they may be in the world, where she feels most at home. Our collections are often inspired by art, including modern artists like Degas and Matisse, who also celebrated women and their wonderful, complex journey through life. We hope that each collection, and each bag, touches a mood, a feeling, an aspiration... and helps express some new part of yourself that turns your world into a work of art.
