New York designer Sabrina Zeng announced the launch of the Gemini Handbag Collection. Employing an eco-conscious approach, the sleek bags are handcrafted in New York from salvaged luxury designer fabric and premium-quality leather. Designed with the sophisticated, on-the-go woman in mind, Sabrina Zeng has created a unique, multi-functional line of handbags that will not only add flair and vivacity to any wardrobe; it will redefine the notion of "accessory."

"Versatile, sustainable, and well-made designs are key elements that combine to transform the product from an accessory to a necessity," said Sabrina Zeng. "Today's women are multi-faceted and dynamic creatures. I want to capture this by creating timeless lifestyle accessories that real women will want to carry every day-ultimately becoming an extension of their personality."

The Gemini Handbag Collection includes two spectacular styles, each with its own distinctive, multipurpose concept. The Gemini iPad Day-to-Night Clutch boasts a first-of-its-kind design made to adapt to a woman's busy lifestyle. The clutch is fully lined with sultry suede to protect the tablet and features built-in credit card slots so wallets can be left at home. Noted for its textured simplicity, the clutch consists of four limited-edition designs that seamlessly convert from day to evening looks. These designs draw on the designer's mixed cultural background and feature a fresh degree of luxe: premium cowl leather, refined silk embroidery, ombre lace, abstract prints with flocking texture and laminated metallic wool. Clutches are available in an array of colors and retail for $160.

The Gemini Camera City Tote is the first fashion-forward DSLR camera-friendly bag with double access. Specially designed for today's creative woman, it functions as a camera bag with padded insert. Removal of the insert effortlessly transforms the bag into a polished everyday tote. The bag has both top and front openings ensuring cameras can be quickly and easily accessed so no picture-perfect moment is lost. It also features water-resistant cotton lining and high-density, closed-cell foam padding providing cameras with ultimate protection. But style was not sacrificed for substance-long detachable straps, clean lines, sophisticated material and color combinations along with minimal hardware work just as nicely with t-shirts and jeans as with that little black dress. The limited edition DSLR Camera Tote retails for $375.

Sabrina Zeng will update the collection with the release of new styles and designs every month.
