Handbag designer-to-the-stars (Cher! Sarah Jessica Parker! Tina Turner!) Carlos Falchi is coming to Minneapolis next week. Last month, I visited his studio in New York. He gave me a tour of the workshop, showed off some of his designs and let me watch as he mixed a batch of mushroom-colored dye.

More on the behind the scenes next week and an article in the Star Tribune on Sunday. In the meantime, enjoy the video here.

If you want to meet Falchi and check out his current bags, make a special request or have him sign the lining of a vintage handbag you already own, here’s the scoop:

Pumpz & Co, Galleria, Edina, 952-926-2252. Friday, March 7, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
