So, we've got a problem. We're total bag hags. There you go, we admit. As a result, we're constantly on the look-out for cool up-and-coming accessories designers to satiate our hunger for supple leather totes and bad ass over-sized clutches.

For Fall, Chang was inspired by Japan and the line features embossed deerskin, cowhide and lambskin pieces complemented with intricate braiding, and vintage-inspired hardware.
