Itty bitty handbags may be having a micro-moment, but there's nothing like a classic carryall that actually accommodates today's comically oversized smartphones. If you enjoy being semi-hands-free with said bag and you dig boxy silhouettes inspired by decades past, then you'll want to swing by heritage luxury accessories brand Mark Cross' first-ever L.A. sale.
Happening on La Brea Boulevard, the high-end label's blowout takes place Wednesday, Oct. 30 (10 a.m. to 7 p.m.), Thursday, Oct. 31 (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.), Friday, Nov. 1 (10 a.m. to 7 p.m.), and Saturday, Nov. 2 and Sunday, Nov. 3 (11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily). Expect to score 85% off the label's best-selling leather and raffia box bags (including the iconic Grace line, which usually retails at $2,095 and up), bucket bags, framed handbags, cross-bodies, belt bags, clutches, totes, briefcases, messenger bags, folios, travel accessories, and yes, even minis and other styles for women and men.
Founded in 1895, the Boston-bred, Italian-made company was revived in 2011. Its famous fans include everyone from Beyoncé and Lady Gaga to Rihanna to J. Lo, just to name a few.
