SINGAPORE - International luxury lifestyle label, CH Carolina Herrera, celebrated the launch of their limited-edition Embroidered Matryoshka Bag on May 13, 2013 with the presence of Mrs. Carolina Herrera and her daughter, Carolina Herrera de Báez.

Stylish high society guests and influential industry leaders spotted at the event also included Kelly Sia, Celina Lin, Jamie Chua, Susanna Kang, Dr. June Goh-Rin, Dr. Elaine Neo, Dr. Iroshini Chua, Ginny Wiluan, Dorcas Ling and Paige Parker.

To celebrate the recent opening of the first CH Carolina Herrera boutique in Singapore, Carolina Herrera de Báez has created a very special Limited Edition Embroidered Matryoshka Bag collection.

Together with renowned Spanish embroidery artist, Yolanda Andrés, the pair decided to showcase Singapore's lush vegetation and glorious flowers, handcrafting 20 exquisite tributes to the island's many varieties of orchids.

Carolina created the perfect canvas for Yolanda Andrés to embroider, transforming each bag into a peerless work of art.

A fresh new design for one of the brand's icons, the Matryoshka bag, made of linen and lined in suede with a characteristic lateral fray was the final proposal which both thought would provide a clever nod to Singapore.

Mingling over canapés, crisp champagne and Kir Royale cocktails, guests were invited to explore the CH Carolina Herrera boutique and take a closer look at the 20 styles of the Limited Edition Embroidered Matryoshka Bag.

Carolina Herrera de Báez greeted the guests and shared her design inspirations behind the bag and Mrs. Herrera herself also addressed the guests with enthusiasm about her first-ever visit to Singapore.

The Limited-Edition Embroidered Matryoshka Bag retails from $2,375 to $2,950.
