Diane de Maria Bonnie Bag

Sometimes all a designer needs is an A-list celeb to be spotted carrying their bag before their name and designs are being seen, heard, and sought after. That is what is happening with designer Diane de Maria right now. After Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted toting the same hot pink bag, we tracked down the designer and bag, finding out it is the Diane de Maria Bonnie Bag.

Diane de Maria comes from an artistic background, as she is the great-granddaughter of famed painter Pierre de Maria. Her collection of bags infuses her artistic background with her travels, the passage of time, and reconciliation of the past and the future. Upon first glance the engraving in each design is hard to recognize, but upon closer inspection the geometric lines are clear.


The shape of the Bonnie Bag is similar to that of the Louis Vuitton Speedy. The handbag SJP is carrying is the Bonnie in the small size which is not available in stores yet as it is part of the Spring/Summer 2010 collection. Price is $1500. There are winter colors available in this bag at Beyond Seven, 601 West 27th Street, New York, NY 10001

Sarah Jessica Parker has clearly put Diane de Maria on the map and I am sure we will be hearing more of the designer in the future. More on Diane de Maria online.

Sarah Jessica Parker is seen not once, but twice with neon Diane De Maria satchel

Leave it to Sarah Jessica Parker to find us a new, funky handbag designer to add to our handbag lexicon. The neon pink handbag that she’s toting here is the Diane De Maria Small Bonnie Satchel, and it’s far more interesting than meets the eye.

It’s difficult to tell from these pictures because of the high shine of the patent leather, but they’re actually covered with an intricate mechanical pattern inspired by the work of famous artist Pierre De Maria, the designer’s father. I’m normally unsure of pattern and color variation in bags, but the more I look at the collection, the more I like it. Because the pattern is not multicolored, it wouldn’t make the bags any more difficult to incorporate into the average wardrobe, and the design itself is full of artistic cache. The other bag’s on the designer’s website are even more interesting than this one – I’m intrigued.
