Carlos Santana is all set to launch his line of Fall/Winter ‘08 handbag collection, which the Press calls “the sound of style.”

“As an artist, I am inspired by style, color and passion. I have found that it is wonderful to celebrate those qualities – which I express in my music – through fashion. Like music, that’s something that almost everyone can relate to,” explains Santana.

The handbag line, which consists of six different groups, is designed with the Carlos by Carlos Santana shoe collection in mind, allowing the consumer to cross merchandise with ease — though you can’t miss the eclectic look and feel of his vintage album covers.

For each handbag sold, 10% of Carlos Santana’s profits will be donated to The Milagro Foundation (milagrofoundation.org), established by the rocker a decade ago. The Foundation’s grants to institutions that work with children around the world comes from its faith that life is a miracle (milagro) and that children everywhere deserve the opportunity to lead educated, safe, healthy and creative lives.

In just about three weeks, the Carlos by Carlos Santana handbag collection will be available in select Macy’s West doors.
