Thanks to the growth of Nashville’s fashion industry, you no longer have to decide between buying designer and buying local. And even though Ceri Hoover’s exquisite handbags are sold worldwide — including at Anthropologie — we can still claim her as one of our own. Her flagship store in 12South is the best place to admire the dreamy selection of clutches, satchels and wallets, all handmade with leather so intoxicatingly luxurious you’ll want to snuggle close with your new purse every night.
