Hi mary,

Check out the latest handbag fashion news and review at BagBunch.com:
  1. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy Awarded Damages Over Nude Pardon Shopping Bag - 2008-12-29 19:04:20-05
    Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has been awarded €40, 000 in damages from Pardon, a fashion company who distributed shopping bags featuring her nude image. The photograph which adorns the totes was taken in 1993 when the French First Lady was a supermodel. The sum is short of the €125, 000 the French beauty was seeking, but still [...]
  2. Marni Balloon Tote | Dark Green Slouchy Leather Handbag - 2008-12-29 21:06:23-05
    Marni's Balloon collection offers several different sizes and colors for the popular slouchy, relaxed handbag style. Want it in terracotta or even fuchsia? You got it. Looking for a more compact version of it? Try the small balloon tote. I have to admit that I'm quite impressed with the variety of bags that are available [...]
  3. Zufi Alexander Kiss It Handbag | Full Throttle Motorcycle Style Black Luxe Leather Shoulder Bag - 2008-12-29 21:23:02-05
    Zufi Alexander is really making a name for herself with her eponymous line of super deluxe, high style handbags. And not only that, but her name is becoming synonymous with some of the top names in Hollywood, like Katherine Heigl, Lindsay Lohan, and the like. Most of Ms. Alexander's designs bring a hot trendy point of [...]
  4. Stone Mountain Bayshore Bucket Bag | Affordable Classic Fabric Handbag with Leather Trim - 2008-12-30 01:05:27-05
    The classic good looks and affordable $60 price tag of the cute Bayshore Bucket bag is sure to appeal to bargain hunters. The fine woven straw finish features subtle color variations to add texture and style. The hardwearing material is offset by classic brown leather trim and chic silver studs. The leather accents are perforated with [...]
  5. Salvatore Ferragamo Creates Eco Friendly Handbag Collection - 2008-12-30 02:05:49-05
    Salvatore Ferragamo has gone green, creating a luxury line of environmentally friendly handbags. The Eco Ferragamo collection features purses made with a nontoxic tanning technique and dyed using tannins extracted from tree bark. They're then lined with handwoven hemp to withstand everyday use. The results are bags that are biodegradable, water-resistant, and utterly stylish. There's something for [...]
  6. Kenneth Cole Aim to Pleats Hobo Bag | East West Style Pleated Suede Purse - 2008-12-30 03:05:48-05
    Kenneth Cole takes the hobo bag out of the seventies and into the 21st century. The secret is the angular shape, which gives the Aim to Pleats a modern edge. But traditionalists will be glad to see the hobo's trademark slouch hasn't been forgotten. The suede finish falls softly in pleats that give this Kenneth Cole [...]
  7. Joe's Jeans Sevilla Bowler | Small Structured Leather Handbag - 2008-12-30 16:10:27-05
    Never underestimate the power of a little decorative stitching or pleating. They can take a bag from simple to fabulous in no time at all. Joe's Jeans has these techniques down pat. With some intricate details, this designer's solid-colored leather purses become interesting and unique. They sometimes have a classic look, but look closely and [...]
  8. 3.1 Phillip Lim Suede Camera Bag | Soft Emerald Green Shoulder Bag - 2008-12-30 20:34:24-05
    It isn't often that you find a designer suede handbag, unless it's one of those fly-by-night, 80's inspired boho hobos, of course. Whether the shortage of suede accessories is due to current trends, or suede's reputation for indurability, I'm not sure. Either way, I'm glad the tide is turning, because not only does that reputation [...]
  9. Goldenbleu Parker Weekender | Classic Black Patent Leather Tote - 2008-12-30 21:49:16-05
    The Goldenbleu Parker was released in 2007 but still remains an stylish choice if you're looking for a roomy, multi-functional yet elegant handbag. The Parker comes in a smaller tote version as well as the larger Weekender bag. The style is simple and traditional, but the result is tres chic. I love the look of patent [...]
  10. Rafe Diana Hobo Handbag | Casual Linen and Ostrich Leather Purse with Tassel Details - 2008-12-31 01:05:56-05
    Leather and lace might be appropriate for after five, but if you're looking for a casual yet stylish everyday look you can't go past the combination of leather and linen. The fabrics take center stage in this chic Diana hobo from Rafe. The natural linen is accented with lush ostrich leather belt straps and trim. You [...]
  11. Rampage Stanton Satchel | Affordable Manmade Leather Purse with Chic Hardware - 2008-12-31 03:05:38-05
    The Rampage Stanton satchel ticks all the boxes with its glamorous good looks, functional styling, and recession-friendly price. The secret is the manmade leather: it looks fabulous, it's durable, and it keeps the price at a mere $88. The combination of matte material and glossy patent is dazzling no matter what color you choose. And there [...]
  12. Zufi Alexander Kiss Me Weekend Bag | Sleek Steely Blue Naplak Leather Weekender - 2008-12-31 13:14:58-05
    If you liked Zufi Alexander's Kiss Me Baby, you're going to love the Kiss Me Weekend Bag. Made of the same gorgeous Naplak leather, this is one seriously durable weekender. Naplak is similar to patent leather, but has been through a tumbling treatment process that increases the longevity of the material. Which is great, because [...]
  13. Botkier Bianca Satchel | Cherry Red Lambskin Medium Satchel - 2008-12-31 15:35:04-05
    Botkier always has a slightly different take on handbags. Regular, almost predictable, styles are given some type of detail that makes them stand out. The designer has used buckles, fringe, and texture to make bags like the Morgan and Sasha unique. The Bianca Satchel is another example of typical bag gone edgy. However, I'm not completely sold on it. [...]
  14. Marc by Marc Jacobs Posh Turnlock Hobo | Large Yellow Patent Leather Handbag - 2008-12-31 20:37:48-05
    Marc Jacobs hit gold with his Turnlock series of bags. The popular collection ranges from satchels to clutches and offers just about every color you can possibly think of for a purse. If you can imagine it, it's probably available in Turnlock.  That's why it was no surprise to me to run across this sunshine yellow [...]
  15. Juicy Couture Classic Baby Fluffy | Espresso Brown Velour Satchel - 2009-01-01 14:44:21-05
    Juicy Couture has a lot of velour bags. It is definitely their signature look. The popular soft handbags are usually detailed with their regal (and usually large) crest. Though the brand also offers tamer, more classic leather purses like the Flagship, it is the velvety-textured ones that are more well-known and the most easily recognizable. Though most Juicy styles [...]
  16. Santi Kayla Clutch | Pretty Appliqué Purse with Flowers and Butterflies - 2009-01-01 18:51:42-05
    The Kayla clutch from Santi is one of those bags you'll either love or hate. Either way, it's impossible to ignore. Felt, wool, and beads come together to create colorful flowers and whimsical butterflies. From a distance the springtime appliqué design gives this clutch a fun feminine look. But up close, it starts to resemble an [...]
  17. Stone Mountain Artesia Bucket Bag | Medium-Sized Leather Handbag with Classic Looks - 2009-01-01 19:29:10-05
    The basic bucket design of the Artesia might see it overlooked by some fashion fans searching for the newest it bag. But underneath the simple yet sophisticated finish is a purse which keeps giving long after the latest trend is over. This is a purse built for functionality rather than flash. Black can look dramatic, but [...]
  18. Linea Pelle Dylan Large Speedy Tote | Celebrities Love This Intuitively Designed Purple Washed Leather Satchel - 2009-01-02 00:15:20-05
    The Dylan Speedy Tote has had a host of celebrity fans, including Hollywood style icons Hayden Panettierre and Lauren Conrad, since its release in 2007. It is now available in a new variety of colors for the holiday season including this deep purple (called amethyst), citrine (a rich yellow), and smoke (deep iron). The new color [...]
  19. Accessorize Heidi Klum Black Clutch Bag | Hard Shell Evening Purse with Fan Design - 2009-01-02 01:05:42-05
    Supermodel Heidi Klum knows a thing or two about fashion, so you'd expect her handbag range for Accessorize to be just as fabulous as she is. One of my favorite pieces, and Heidi's too, is this cute black purse which proves a clutch is never just a clutch. The hard structured shell is so striking, and [...]
  20. Alexander McQueen Weekend Bag | Chic and Spacious Canvas Travel Bag - 2009-01-02 03:05:16-05
    There are two things a girl needs for a fabulous weekend away: their favorite gal pal and a fantastic travel bag. Alexander McQueen can't take care of the former, but with their weekend bag they've got your accessory covered. Alexander McQueen has ditched his trademark luxury leathers for a more practical canvas finish. This durable fabric [...]
  21. Prada Vitello Daino Tote | Black Pebbled Leather Designer Handbag - 2009-01-02 15:30:29-05
    When high-end designers are being discussed, it is inevitable that the name Prada will be brought up. This designer powerhouse has been churning out the latest fashions for decades and won't be slowing down any time soon. A Prada handbag is synonymous with luxury and status, and a woman who owns one is likely to [...]
  22. JJ Winters Distressed Leather Fringe Bag | Retro 70's Black Leather and Fringe Hobo - 2009-01-02 18:26:20-05
    New York edginess meets California bohemia in this gorgeous fringe bag by JJ Winters. Finally, a bag that is equal parts hippie and moto-chic, made of the highest quality American materials and craftsmanship. This bag is so retro that it would seem right at home at a Led Zepplin concert, circa '79, but fits in [...]
  23. Chanel Suffers from Financial Crisis | Heidi Mount Models for Spring Advertising Campaign - 2009-01-02 20:32:33-05
    You know times are tough when the iconic fashion labels of the world are struggling. Chanel is one designer who's taken a real battering in the economic downturn. It was recently forced to cut short its mobile art exhibition tour, and now comes news that 200 jobs have been axed. Ten percent of its production team, [...]
  24. Bitten Fold Over Handbag | Affordable Sarah Jessica Parker Designed Faux Leather Convertible Purse - 2009-01-03 01:05:23-05
    In these troubling economic times, few of us have the money to really splurge on the big name designers. But Sarah Jessica Parker believes we shouldn't have to miss out on a little celebrity style. With her Bitten collection, the Sex & The City star has created handbags even the most cash-strapped fashion lovers can [...]
  25. Kate Spade Classic Noel Stevie | Brown Signature Jacquard Handbag - 2009-01-03 20:01:11-05
    Don't be fooled. The pattern on this Kate Spade might be called Classic Noel, but there is nothing about it that limits you to only carrying it during the holiday season. In fact, I'm not entirely sure what feature on it earns its somewhat specific name. The abstract pattern is, in fact, a tribute to [...]
  26. Bulga De Beber Satchel | Luxurious Motorcycle Style Bag - 2009-01-04 01:05:41-05
    Motorcycle bags are just the thing if you're looking to effortlessly add a little bad girl edge to your outfit. We've seen Zufi Alexander and Balenciaga take on the style, so I thought it was only fair to check out Bulga's answer to the motorcycle bag: the De Beber satchel. The front features a large zippered [...]
  27. Foley + Corinna Mid City Tote | Slouchy And Sleek Black Leather Retro Handbag - 2009-01-04 12:13:28-05
    The woman next to me on a recent flight home from New York had a Foley + Corinna Mid City Tote stuffed under the seat in front of her, and when she fell asleep, I seriously considered snagging it. But, beyond the obvious deviousness of stealing someone's handbag (I would have left her keys and [...]
  28. Tory Burch Isa Tote | Canvas Handbag with Patent Leather Trim - 2009-01-04 14:47:57-05
    Canvas totes make me want to grab a swimsuit and head toward the water. The casual and incredibly practical material is a must-have for the spring and summer months. Its durability makes it perfect for a low maintenance handbag, and the rough texture exudes a laid-back, going-nowhere-quickly kind of vibe. Paired with patent leather, though, canvas [...]
  29. Karl Lagerfield Defends Chanel Fur Fashions - 2009-01-04 21:18:10-05
    It's not very politically correct these days, but Chanel head designer Karl Lagerfield has defended his use of fur. The fashion head honcho justified his lavish animal skins, insisting it's a case of "us against them." He added that hunters rely on "killing those beasts who would kill us if they could." I'm not sure what sort [...]
  30. Comme des Garcons Butterfly Zip Around Wallet | Black Embossed Luxury Leather Purse - 2009-01-05 01:05:35-05
    This classic black purse from Comme des Garcons looks like it's made for business. But take a second glance and you'll see that first impressions can be deceiving. It might be basic black, but this wallet is never boring thanks to the stunning embossed butterfly design. This whimsical touch makes the purse a little more feminine [...]
  31. Devi Kroell for Target Gold Clutch | Affordable Designer Faux Snakeskin Purse - 2009-01-05 03:05:34-05
    Devi Kroell's for Target line encouraged us to get our hands on a designer purse for less. They quickly sold out in stores, but you can still nab one of these beautiful bargains on eBay. One of my favorite is the oh-so-glam gold clutch. With a retail value of a mere $30, you might guess that [...]
  32. Comme Des Garçons Star Embossed Tote | Classic Black Cowhide Carryall - 2009-01-05 12:20:35-05
    Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons is known simultaneously for creating outlandish avant garde designs and also pared-down minimal classics. The two styles balance each other by allowing the detailing of each to shine through. A simple tote like this one is the perfect compliment to a wardrobe of avant garde pieces, but would also [...]
