Tara Reid Loses Designer Handbag Carrying $180,000 in Jewels in Ibiza Airport - Britney Spears, Paris Hilton Bags Carry Dogs

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Designer handbags are in celebrity news around the world after American Pie actress Tara Reid lost her black Balenciaga designer bag to a thief. The bag was snatched from her trolley in the Ibiza, Spain airport last week as she was retrieving her luggage from the carousel. Reid was in Europe to film a segment of her "Wild on Tara" reality TV show.

Interest in Balenciaga designer handbags has jumped since the starlet revealed she was carrying her personal jewelry collection worth about $180,000 in the black bag when it was stolen. Reid claims that among those items taken was a Rolex watch of great sentimental value to her. She reportedly became hysterical when the bag was lifted, but Spanish police hold little hope of recovery.

Designer handbags carrying expensive jewelry make attractive targets to thieves so Britney Spears has been seen carrying a small dog in her Melvone bags as has Paris Hilton. Both would presumably become just as hysterical at losing that precious cargo along with their designer handbags, but neither are likely to leave their puppies unattended on baggage carts.

Britney Spears and Paris Hilton both own Melvone designer handbags, as do Oprah, Debra Messing and Poppy Montgomery. DesignersLA.com represents Melvone, previewing her most recent collection at New York's Fashion Coterie "Sole Commerce" Trade show. Her summer 2006 collection consists of detailed hand-woven Italian leather to colored python and striking hand-painted suede. The show will be held September 20th - 22nd at Pier 94 NYC, booth 2322.

DesignersLA.com-represented fashion jewelry designer Lynn Leatart is showing Sunday, September 18th from 11 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. at the Melrose Co-op Designer Market, 2nd floor at 7600 Melrose Blvd. in Los Angeles. Her cutting-edge fashion jewelry will give Tara Reid the opportunity to fill another designer handbag from Balenciaga, Fendi, Gioiosa or Prada with enough jewelry for her next reality TV show.
