New Handbag Pays Tribute to Toronto’s Royal Agricultural Winter Fair

New York, NY—November 2, 2006—Der-Dau, the most respected name in custom boots and shoes, is proud to announce the Royal Signature Handbag, the first in a new line of limited edition handbags combining Der-Dau’s quality leather and craftsmanship with the prestige of the world’s leading equestrian events.

Der-Dau recently launched a new line of mainstream accessories featuring an assortment of handbags, belts, and iPod covers. Long respected for the unparalleled excellence of its handcrafted custom boots and shoes, Der-Dau has grabbed new attention with the launch of this line of mainstream accessories.

“Over the years we have received many requests for custom leather products such as belts and handbags,” said company president Joseph A. Der, Jr. “Earlier this year we initiated our first line of mainstream accessories. We were thrilled with the feedback we received and it is indeed an honor for us to add our first signature handbag commemorating one of the world’s most respected horse shows, The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.”

The Royal Signature Handbag is available in three distinct styles:

A large duffel bag in a supple navy calfskin with elegant alligator straps, embossed with the Royal logo;
A medium barrel bag made of classic black alligator with a beautiful silver plated Royal emblem;
A medium barrel bag made of matte burgundy alligator with a beautiful gold plated Royal emblem.

Samples of these bags will be available at the Der-Dau booth at The Royal Horse Show which runs November 3-12 at The Direct Energy Centre, Exhibition Place, in Toronto. Der-Dau professionals will be on hand to take custom orders.

Der-Dau was the first in the equestrian industry to introduce a line of boots showcasing exotic leathers in a variety of colors and skins. Der-Dau was also the first to offer boots with inside leather lining. These revolutionary steps helped position Der-Dau as a leader in the equestrian industry with loyal customers including Olympic stars such as Canada’s all-time great, Ian Millar.

“The key to our success has been our unwavering commitment to quality,” Der said. “We use only the highest grades of leather with absolutely no defects or imperfections whatsoever and we believe that this is reflected in our products’ look, style and craftsmanship. I invite everyone to come see our new line of accessories, especially our new Royal Signature Handbag. I have no doubt that they also will be well received.”

The Royal Signature Handbag is only available on site during The Royal Horse Show as well as on line at www.derdau.com through December 15 only. Further information is available by calling 1-800-DER-DAU6.
