Of, my goodness, did everyone decide to clear out their closets at the same time? Well, we think so because we are absolutely bursting at the seams with handbags! Totes, satchels, clutches, minaudieres, shoulder bags, evening stunners, daytime necessities, and everything in between.
Magnificent Judieth Leiber Minaudieres
With labels such as Hermes Birkin and Kelly bags, Prada purses, Judith Leiber sparkling minaudieres, Chanel classic flaps, Valentino rock-studded series, Carlos Falchi exotic skins, Gucci and Prada specialties, Dolce & Gabbana runway sparklers, to name a few, we are NOT bagless!
So, remember, those who may be looking for Valentine's gifts (for yourself or others), handbags fit EVERYONE and are always a girl's best friend...after diamonds, of course.

Who can resist the beauty, the power, the boldness, the strength of that marvelous color RED? Certainly not men! Results of a study by the University of Rochester found that RED ON WOMEN DRIVES MEN WILD! According to the study, RED made women more attractive and sexually desirable and men became more attentive, amorous and (gasp) generous! Who knew?
Certainly, in most cultures RED is the symbol of passion, love, beauty, courage, loyalty honor and success. In short, RED GETS YOU NOTICED! Whether it's a woman executive's red power suit, (pic of Sally in red suit) a regal gown worn to the Red Cross Ball, a classic Chanel jacket, a stunning Birkin handbag, a plush and yummy cashmere scarf, perky red sunglasses or a stunning ruby and diamond brooch, the color red inevitably provokes the strongest reaction of all colors. (This even works in nature-although it has more to do with fruits, flowers and animals than shoes!)
Without doubt, RED IS THE COLOR OF CONFIDENCE and it looks great on everyone. It can be worn full out-with a daring, authoritative "Here I Am" look, or it can be used with a more subtle and playful confidence-the peek of the red soles flashing as you walk, a hint of red at the waist with a fabulous belt, a cinnabar or red coral necklace or earrings or the pop of a patterned red scarf.

Classic Collections is proud to CONGRATULATE The Norton Museum on its new Grand Opening!
After 8 years of planning and guidance and determination by Hope Alswang, Director of the Norton Museum of Art, the Norton Museum, founded in 1941 by Ralph and Elizabeth Norton as a Gallery and School of Art with their own art pieces, is opening to the public on February 9, 2019. 59,000 square feet has been added to the Museum, there is a 210 seated auditorium, a coffee bar, full restaurant with sweeping views of the sculpture garden and outdoor exhibits and extensive classrooms, galleries, 17,000 sq. ft of event space and so much more!
The $100 million addition and renovation wraps around an almost 100-year-old Banyan tree facing Dixie Highway and in the words of main architect Norman Foster and his firm, Foster + Partners, "our intention has been to rediscover its essence". How very thrilling to have this world-class, masterpiece Museum right in the heart of Palm Beach County. Many generous and philanthropic people in our community donated vast amounts of money, effort, time and art collections to make this spacious, elegant, marvelous and historic building for all of us. "For today and for tomorrow...art endures".
We are especially delighted to acknowledge a dear friend of Classic Collections, RONNIE HEYMAN, for her dedication, generosity, instrumental guidance and foresight in the planning and development of this project. Her donation of that FABULOUS typewriter eraser ( by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen) that graces the main entrance on Dixie Highway is an indication of her commitment and personal passion for creating an enduring top-class Museum for Palm Beach County.
