"  Photo: Courtesy of Jerome C. Rousseau As long-time fans of footwear and handbag designer, Jerome C. Rousseau, we were enthused to see what he had up his sleeve for Fall 2013\u2014handbag-wise. After Rousseau&amp;#039;s great success with evening shoes, evening bags felt like the next natural progression. &amp;quot;I was eager to take on another design challenge and offer something new and exciting for our customers,&amp;quot; Rousseau told ELLE.com. &amp;quot;I strive to design footwear that is elegant, feminine, and distinctive, and these key elements also apply to the handbag collection.&amp;quot; Taking inspiration from the &amp;#039;60s mod movement and echoing the season&amp;#039;s footwear, Rousseau&amp;#039;s bags (his favorites are pictured here) feature a mix of bold patterns, softer leather, printed haircalf, and velvet flocked suede. The carriers retail for $595 to $895 and will be available online at jeromecrousseau.com and avenue32.com, as well as in store at Madison and Footcandy in California.
