When Yamilia Halfon recognized that at a tender young age that her sister, Alina Garcia, was already exhibiting a flair for fashion, she began encouraging her to become a designer.
After the Cuban-born sisters survived teenagerhood in the States, together they founded their Alina line of luxury bags - inspired by their childhood style icons Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly & Jackie O.
Spring 2008 is a rainbow of richly textured & exotic-hued leathers, including the muted silvery metallics that were seen on so many Spring 08 runways. Prices range from $2.295 for a matte alligator clutch to $7,500 for a croc handbag.
