Judith Leiber and the Leiber Company has been in production since 1963. Mrs. Leiber began her designing career in Hungry, her place of birth and continued to study the art of handbag making during World War II. Mrs. Leiber’s crystal evening bag creations was a chance happening. She had ordered a gift for a friend via mail. Upon receiving it, she realized that the gift, a polished metal box, was terribly scratched. She creatively decided to cover the flaws with Swarovski crystals. 40 years later, the use of signature crystals and exotic skins on handbags has gained world-renowned fame and attention and often used by first ladies.

The Judith Leiber boutiques are exclusive as there are only five in the United States, located in Atlanta, Las Vegas (2 locations), Orange County, and New York City.
