Takishimaya: Jessica Jensen Trunk Show

These works of art in the form of bags that you are viewing right now have been brought into existence by the energetic soul; Jessica Jensen. Sources tell me that this is the first time that Takishimaya will be carrying her bags but instincts tell me that it will not be the last. This woman makes a spectacular bag and if you love unique bags that you would have to walk at least 5 SoHo blocks before you see a knock off that slightly resembles the bag that you just purchased then these are the bags for you. Trust me when I say this, there is nothing like these bags on the market right now. Mrs. Jensen has put herself in a class separated from everyone else because she isn't designing for a market. She isn't following any trends and she isn't trying to out do anyone. Believe it or not these bags were designed by her and for her but somehow it works and people love them. Another thing that I love about these bags is the fact that you can pick up a Jensen bag in the AM and have a full day at work then go out for drinks afterward at the local after work spot and the bag doesn't seem out of place; the bags are just as transitional as you are. Right now she is showing her fall collection of bags however these bags know no season. I say that because usually when designers make bags for a season that bag is limited to that season, there is always something obvious about the bag that screams SPRING! However the Jensen bags are so subtle and chic that they work well throughout the season's and it is design's like these that become classic pieces and must have items.
So let me not wait until everyone else realizes it, let me be the first to say that Jessica Jensen's bags are simply amazing; the must have bag of 09.
