Desperately Seeking Style? Cate Adair’s accessories are now within your grasp!

Have you ever fantasized about adding sophisticated looks from one of the most trend-setting shows to your wardrobe? If your favorite show happens to be Desperate Housewives, you are now in luck. Cate Adair, the Emmy-nominated Costume Designer for the hit ABC hit television show, recently launched her now available-to-the-stylish-public line of artisan handbags, small leather goods, belts and accessories with a side of champagne at a private event in the Hollywood Hills, with support and encouragement from Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, Brenda Strong, Andrea Bowen and Kiersten Warren.

Cate Adair’s luxurious offerings are distinguished by unusual geometric shapes, rich hues and semi-precious stone embellishments that will, frankly, make a girl feel like a woman truly in her element. “As much as I love my work in film and television, I wanted to make something beautiful for real women living real lives,” says the British-born Adair. “My dream has been to create a collection that blends the luxurious European fabrics and textures I fell in love with during my early training with silhouettes inspired by the California lifestyle I have come to adore. With my signature shape that is both feminine and functional, this collection contours to a women’s lifestyle as much as her body.”

Her debut pieces (including carry-all totes, satchels, shoulder bags and evening clutches, complete with jeweled belts, make-up cases, business card holders, and key chains) are being introduced by an exclusive group of fashion retailers. These exquisite US-made leather goods fashioned from the best Italian skins Adair can fine, are available in classic shades as well as fashion colors and whimsical two-tone combinations. A distinctive fish embellishment set against an iridescent lining is another Cate Adair signature element and wonderful surprise to find inside.

While more than 25 million viewers each week covet Adair’s ensembles on a weekly basis (in the States alone!), you may be the one lucky reader who can bring authentic star style into your daily routine.
