Camila Alves Launches MUXO At Kitson
Here are a few pics from the Kitson launch of Camila Alves’s luxury handbag line MUXO which took place on Robertson Blvd. in West Hollywood, CA last night. As you can see, little baby Levi Alves (who is just about a month old now) was among the attendees at last night’s launch, making his way on the red carpet to support his mama in a baby carrier carried by his father Matthew McConaughey:
Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves’s son Levi is already the talk of the party. The month-old tot – who has also been to a rock concert – was rushed by dad down the red carpet and into the launch party for Muxo, a luxury handbag collection designed by Alves and her mother, Thursday night. “He’s a very well-behaved baby,” Kitson owner Fraser Ross told PEOPLE. “Camila’s adorable [with him].” Levi spent the evening in a private room with a nanny, but did get several visits from mom and dad. “Camila and her mom have been working on putting [Muxo] together for years, and then all of a sudden it’s like ka-boom,” McConaughey, 38, told PEOPLE. “It’s great. Tonight’s just about celebrating.” The support for Alves, 25, was shared, as was congratulations. “We are here for Camila, and for the baby,” said friend and designer Christian Audigier. “We have not given her the present yet. We will give it to her tonight. It’s a surprise, I cannot tell you.”
Um, I think that “ka-boom” came about right around the time that Camila started going out with Matthew … not that she couldn’t've had success all on her own but, I think his celebrity helped a bit. I’m not that familiar with the MUXO line of bags (tho, the overuse of fringe seems to be a staple of the line) but I have noticed that Matthew likes to be seen carrying around a MUXO leather manbag from time to time. They seem a bit pricey but each one is handmade by Camila and/or her mother (hee hee, I suspect mom has been doing a lot of the work lately). I like the Latino flair that they have … but again, I’m not a fan of fringe. Dunno … are these nice? Would you pony up for one of THESE bad boys?

I don’t like the bags, but holy crap! I can not believe how skinny she is already. After only a month?? That’s amazing!

Why would I but a (not all that cute) bag from a designer who’s only claim to fame is that she is Matthew’s baby mama when I could spend the same amount of money and but Chanel or Louis Vuitton? Something tells me that I’m not her target audience.

No to the handbags.

I really like the bags, I like the almost African touch they have to them, I think they’re rather neat. I guess it’s the aging hippy in me, and I totally agree with her motivation for starting the line which was about most bags being either to small and flimsy or too big and ugly (unless you can afford to pay A LOT of money).
I think the Gramercy and the Soho are particularly good. Bit out of my price range, but if they’re handmade they’re probably not that overpriced. You can see it’s quality work.

i think the bags are awesome. i don’t have the $ to spend on them but i agree, they are handmade so not that overpriced. i would much rather pay for something original and handmade than some louis or chanel that every betty is carrying. btw, who cares what her “claim to fame” is? lots of models end up designing something.

Hell to the no. I’m with Amanda – I’d rather drop that cash on a bag with a well-known name and quality.
