Profile

The Suarez family has been selling its high-quality, decently priced Italian totes to the handbag-obsessed since 1938, so it's no surprise they’ve gotten to know their clientele well in that time. Matthew Suarez, the designer behind the discreetly chic brand, has created styles to fit each personality that walks through his door. Classic briefcases nod to the Park Avenue banking sector while the exotic alligator- and ostrich-skin hobos and pochettes draw in notables like Melania Trump, Uma Thurman, and Hillary Clinton. Over-the-top treats—like rainbow-casting translucent suede clutches, jackets decked out with eye-popping Swarovski crystals, or small mink-bottomed purses that feature removable necklaces—are scattered around the store.

After reading the other reviews I had to add the following to my review (ronnritt) below. The reviewer who said women in their 50's and 60's couldn't be happy shopping here is way off base. (I'm 62 and have been shopping here for many years.) Suarez has wonderful selections at great prices and I'll be returning again and again until I drop over...at which point I want to be cremated and buried in one of my Suarez bags! The prices are great. While the bags aren't cheap, they are excellent value for price paid. The service is great and my one problem got fixed immediately, with great courtesy and kindness. I never fail to visit Suarez when I visit the Big Apple...it's a must for any bag hound! Thanks Ramona and a big hug from West Virginia!

Suarez Is A Must For Bag Ladies!

The selection of beautiful bags is terrific. If you want designer labels you won't like this store, but if you want designer looks and quality, this is the place! I never visit NYC without going to see Ramona Suarez's wonderful store. I had a problem with the hardware on one bag and it was immediately replaced! No questions asked. And they paid all the shipping. Sad to say, I have had to put an addition on my home to house all my bags. She has too many great choices!
