Timmy Woods

Please don’t hate me. I have a confession to make. I didn’t like “Sex and the City: The Movie." Maybe my expectations were too high -- I was hoping for another “The Devil Wears Prada.” Maybe it was because the plot was thin and the characters were flat. Or maybe it was that the wardrobes were colorful but somehow missed the mark.

I did have one pleasant take-away from the film, however. I bookmarked the Timmy Woods website (http://www.timmywoods.com/) after seeing the film. Yes, I know Ms. Bradshaw carried the Timmy Woods horse bag on the television show. But there were so many fun trinkets during the series, who could keep up? However, when the designer’s Eiffel Tower bag was featured so prominently in the movie’s publicity photos, it made me want to see more of her work.

Timmy Woods launched her Beverly Hills-based business in 1992. Since then she has developed a following of celebrities and collectors who admire her whimsical creations. Her bags are carved from acacia wood, a durable hard wood found in Central America and Australia. Acacia has a fine grain and a high polish and is frequently used in furniture design.

Personally, I like the bags in the Sizzler collection the best. Some of the top sellers include the champagne bottle, the nail polish, the amaryllis and the Love Boat. Timmy Woods bags mix quality workmanship, with a sense of humor and confident style. That’s what fashion should be all about.
