Lambertson Truex, the American accessories house is known for
its contemporary vision of classic luxury. Founded seven years
ago by Richard Lambertson and John Truex; the company has
quickly established itself as one of fashion's most original
and authentic new voices. Its innovative designs, exquisite
materials, and commitment to fine craftsmanship, have won a
loyal following in the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Following the success of its bags, Lambertson Truex launched a
women's shoe line; followed by small leather goods, gloves,
and belts for women. Due in part to the success of the women's
line, the company then launched the same assortment of
accessories for men.
At the heart of Lambertson Truex, lies a fresh interpretation
of authentic American elegance. The signature pieces: soft,
structured handbags, carry-all totes, and slim clutch bags
express Lambertson Truex's distinctive vision. The designs are
concise and executed with warmth, integrity, and an
understated tranquility.
Lambertson Truex strongly believes that texture is the soul of
the accessory. Fine leathers in multiple finishes, from
powdery soft suedes to slick polished finishes; become the
inspiration for new shapes. The effect is both graceful and
voluptuous. The bags are distinguished by Lambertson Truex's
signature touch. Each bag consists of luxurious leather or
suede lining, that is azure blue. This use of color
illuminates the inside of the bag, and makes it easier to
navigate. Each LT accessory is designed with the thought of
modern life in mind. Functional organizational features such
as: cell phone holders and detachable keychains, are
discretely worked into the bag's interior.
Contemporary in design, and timeless in feel, these are
"forever bags" for a new generation of women. "I want each bag
to be carried for a long time," says John Truex. "They soften
and get more personality with age. Our customers collect our
bags and keep them for years. Each one becomes a jewel to be
rediscovered again and again."
Building their collection around pristine design and
craftsmanship, Lambertson Truex has won a following of stylish
individuals. Whether their taste is classic or unconventional,
the customers are women who use luxury accessories to express
their own independent "sense" of chic. "Our line is about
diversity. We want to give every kind of woman the opportunity
to wear a beautiful bagÑno matter where her lifestyle takes
her," John explains. "If they're worn to the beach or to a
benefit, our accessories should augment a woman's personal
style. Each woman who wears Lambertson Truex, has her own
unique way."
Lambertson Truex has been acknowledged within the American
fashion industry several times, for its excellence in design
and craftsmanship. In 2000, they were awarded the American
Fashion Award for Accessory Designer of the Year by the
Council of Fashion Designers of America. In addition, they
were presented with the ACE Award for Best New Accessories
Designer, by the Accessories Council that year. In 1998 and
1999 the company was nominated for the Perry Ellis Award for
accessories.
