Handbag line Erva was founded in 2001 with one aim; to create instantly recognizable, unique bags that won't date. Designers Eva García and Rosa Rial started the business in London but have since moved back to their native Spain, where they opened a small workshop in Barcelona. Their first collection of forties-inspired hand-painted leather bags with frames, were soon being toted by stylish celebrities like the Olsen twins and Cameron Diaz. For the ultimate evening bag, snap up Erva's luxe box clutches with decorative hardware or look for the bronze, black or taupe fold-over bags.
