TRUNKSHOW – ANATOMIE & SHORTYLOVE
Anatomie women’s sportswear and shortyLOVE handbag trunkshow in Little Holmby today through February 10.
The Anatomie collection is perfect for L.A. and these times: casual, comfortable, with most of the pieces made of our exclusive Italian fabric that is wrinkle free, machine washable and SPF50 (great for those walks around Holmby Park!). There are dozens of styles to chose from and I have all the colors and sizes at my home. There are also cashmeres that are perfect for these cooler temperatures, as well as the entire spring/summer collection. Sizes run from XS to XL. First time clients receive 15% off their entire order. You can also view the shortyLOVE handbag collection, designed by the former purse designer for Marc Jacobs. These nylon bags come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors, are very reasonably priced. There are quite a few that are perfect for walks and hikes (hold an iPhone and keys) and travel (lightweight and pack flat).
Covid precautions: one-on-one appointments, vaccines and masks a must! Call, email or text me for more information: Denise (310) 721-2500; dzbarta@aol.com
