>>  Lara Bohinc is a Slovenia-born, London-based jewelry designer who describes her favorite new bag design, the lambskin, snakeskin, and metal Laratella (right) as "very comfortable."  Bohinc got her master's in jewelry design at the Royal College of Art, has worked for both Costume National and Gucci, and is now a design consultant for Cartier when she's not working on her namesake line.  Her current collection, which is absolutely gorgeous, consists of pieces with knots and ropes, a flame-inspired series, as well as some leather clutches encased in architecture-inspired brass that are absolutely to die for.
