Sister Act

This is as hot as it gets! Sisters Penelope and Monica Cruz are incorporating their impeccable fashion sense into designing handbags in a tie- up with Loewe, the Spanish luxury goods label, set to be unveiled in November. It's the second such campaign featuring the star, who inked a three- year endorsement deal with the brand in November 2012. The sisters have brought out ‘ The Cruz', a cross- body bag, which features outside pockets, in collaboration with outgoing creative director Stuart Vevers. “We wanted to do something special but also practical, and we wanted the design to have an unmistakable Spanish element,” Penelope said. Not only do the sisters enjoy working with each other, they also have an instinctive preference for the same cuts and designs, she added. Aimed at the busy working woman who likes to keep her essentials at- hand, the colourful bags achieve a perfect balance between style and utility.
