Camila Alves and Her Own Line of Muxo Handbags

After two years of dating Matthew McConaughey and being followed around by the paparazzi, I guess Brazilian model Camila Alves can rightfully be called a “celebrity” herself.

So what’s a new celebrity to do? Why, start her own clothing line of course!

On the MUXO website, the about page says that it was the difficulty of finding strong and sexy handbags that drove Camila to create her own handbag line. So together with her mother Fatima, they founded MUXO and designed handbags that “are as ready for the beach as they are 5th avenue.”

Camila Alves of course models for MUXO:

She was also just spotted yesterday carrying the MUXO Circus 2 bag while walking around in NYC with Matthew McConaughey:

Here are more pictures of Camila Alves using her own MUXO handbags herself:

These bags are actually some of the “tamer” from the MUXO collection. The other bags have details like prints, ribbons, weaving and fringe, while other bags have all of that all at once.

I know MUXO handbags might be too busy or have too much going on for some, but I find them intriguing, like each bag has its own personality. Unfortunately, it’s also puzzling to me why some of these bags are priced well over a thousand dollars, a few even breaching the $2,000 range. I know I said Camila Alves can be considered a celebrity, but even more well-established celebrities start their clothing lines at introductory prices.
