Would you buy handbags from this woman? Word on the internets is that Victoria Beckham will be debuting her new line of handbags during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York this month. Grazia also reports on speculation there will soon be a bunch of standalone Victoria Beckham boutiques. The former Spice Girl may have finally hit her stride—after a series of failed post-Posh attempts at pop stardom. According to Grazia: "Her fashion line is no vanity project—last year sales were in excess of £4.55 million, which might not sound that much, but most young designers don’t even start making a profit until years into their business lives and they usually need financial backing from a bigger company."
