Matthew McConaughey's lady launches MUXO, boho-chic handbag line

Brazilian model Camilla Alves (Matthew McConaughey's main squeeze) and her mother are launching their new luxury handbag collection MUXO this week. The boho-chic line is described as "elegance meets tribal exotic", and features leather travel bags, handbags and clutches with one-of-a-kind leather finishes. Each and every bag in the collection has been handcrafted by Alves and her mom.
The designs were influenced by the two places Alves spends most of her time in: Brazil and New York. "They are as ready for the beach as they are 5th Avenue," she says. "Because I travel a lot, I found that there weren’t any handbags available that were strong and sexy enough at the same time, and if they were, everybody else had one just like it," explains Alves. "Everything was either too small—really cute but impractical—or too big—way too practical but not fashionable."
Charlize Theron, Lance Armstrong, Penelope Cruz, Guy Oseary, Drew Barrymore, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, and pretty much everyone else in Hollywood are expected to attend the line's launch party tonight.
We're just amazed she's managing all this barely a month after giving birth to her and McConaughey's son. Bravo!
