Press Release • Jan 11, 2016
Erica Harel bags are lovingly hand-crafted in Tel Aviv-Jaffa and Hebron by Israelis and Palestinians - Jews, Moslems and Christians - who prove that working together in an atmosphere of mutual cooperation and respect results in beautiful things.

New York, January 11, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Known for her affordable luxury bags, particularly the flagship Downtown Backpack, Erica Harel has now tackled the classic Tote silhouette with a design concept that strays from traditional totes. In addition to tackling everyday fashion issues Erica Harel tackles the divide between Muslims, Jews and Christians as she has her designer bags lovingly hand-crafted in Tel Aviv-Jaffa and Hebron by Israelis and Palestinians believing that by working side by side we can learn to know one another on a personal level rather than allowing political or religious differences keep us divided.

Made for women who work in the office and "go out to lunch," the City Tote addresses standard handbag "fail" situations that women face everyday.  One of the outstanding features of the bag is the mini cross-body "Out to Lunch" bag that a woman simply pulls out of her City Tote, and leaves the tote in the office, so that she's not burdened with a large bag in a crowded restaurant. Add the flirty long tassel to the little "lunch" bag and it becomes an evening bag.

Then there are the special compartments for book or tablet, water bottle, pens, and a hidden umbrella compartment under the bag. She's even gone so far as to attach a clip to one of the interior pocket zippers to accommodate an easily located USB flash drive.

The quality of the material and craftsmanship of the Erica Harel bags and accessories are second to none. The designs are original and attractive. Erica, who consdiers herself a bit of an efficiency expert, creates bags that are usually multi-functional. For instance, the City tote, which was created to serve the needs of women who work in the city, also has the smart, classic look of a "Cruise" bag. 

Erica Harel bags, which are made of high quality Italian leathers, and lined with water-resistant fabrics from Limonta, Italy, are sold online and at local and international shows.
