Lisa Berck was onhand with her dizzying array or fabulous designer bags. One of them, the B Bag, has sky-rocketed in popularity due to its functional fashion, quality design and materials. For women of all ages, the B Bag has quickly become a wardrobe staple as no two items are alike and Lisa Berck oversees every single bag that is released to insure impeccable quality. This has spurred Lisa Berck to launch B Bags in fine furs, exotics and leathers as well as handbags, boots and jewelry that are also of impeccable handmade quality and are not shy on style and flare. There is good reason why Lisa Berck Bags and new line are skyrocketing in popularity! www.lisaberck.com
