Gida Bavari is a handbag line that offers chic and expertly crafted pieces for women who love high fashion and classic design. Gida Batista created her line after many years in the music industry. Batista was a songwriter as well as working in radio and television production. After years spent in San Francisco, she returned to her hometown of New York to finally pursue her dreams of creating her own handbag line. The transition was natural for Batista:  ” Fashion, like music, is so expressive. Both afford us the ability to be who we want to be and to make our own individual statement. I like to say that we pour our lives into our handbag because a great bag carries us everywhere, much like we carry it.”

Batista’s pieces have been seen on Miss USA’s Rachel Smith as well as Gossip Girl’s Yin Chang. The Lexy Clutch is made of Italian nappa leather and is perfect for a night out. The Lexy is luxurious without breaking the bank, retailing for $285. To purchase, visit Gida Bavari’s website.
