New York and Hollywood (PRWEB) October 03, 2014 -- Jill Milan®, a provider of designer Italian handbags, today announced Eva Longoria and Jessica Lucas carried Jill Milan evening bags for recent appearances in New York and Los Angeles. Ms. Longoria carried the brand’s Chelsea Clutch for an evening out in Manhattan. Ms. Lucas, known for her roles on such television shows as “Melrose Place,” “Edgemont” and “Cult,” carried the Art Deco Clutch for Tuesday’s screening of her upcoming crime drama “Gracepoint,” set to air on the Fox television network.

“Eva wore a wonderful ensemble in New York, and Jessica looked great at the ‘Gracepoint’ screening,” said Jill Fraser, Jill Milan founder. “We could not be more pleased they chose Jill Milan for their recent appearances.”

The Chelsea Evening Clutch Ms. Longoria carried reflects the form of an envelope, and features an internal pocket and handmade palladium logo.

The Art Deco Clutch Ms. Lucas carried is a stylish box-shaped metal clutch reminiscent of an early 20th Century cigarette case. It is entirely handmade by an Italian jeweler, and the logo at the top of the clutch functions as the bag’s closure.

Jill Milan handbags are entirely made in Italy, by Italian artisans using Italian materials, and feature hand stitching. All Jill Milan products are free of animal-based materials such as leather, fur and wool – Ms. Fraser was inspired to found Jill Milan because she was unable to find high-quality, luxury handbags that were not made of leather or other animal-based materials. She is a supporter of animal welfare initiatives, and as a former equestrian particularly supports charities that benefit horses. In 2013 Jill Milan was named Vegan Business of the Year by the organization Vegans are Cool.
