- Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Clutch Bag | Soft and Sophisticated Designer Woven Clutch - 2009-02-15 22:25:16-05
Known for their classic, modern designs, Bottega Veneta pulled out all the stops on another new take on the traditional intrecciato clutch. Redefining the woven clutch seems to be a theme of the fall line, although this bag does it in a totally different way than the Neon Woven Box Clutch. Bottega Veneta managed to pack [...]
- Jimmy Choo Mandah Hobo Bag | Iconic Designer Statement Bag In Leopard Spotted Pony Skin - 2009-02-16 12:17:36-05
This bag is heavily featured in the current Jimmy Choo ad campaign, which means you may have seen it in places like Vogue, Elle, or on the side of a Manhattan bound bus. Since Jimmy Choo became a household name akin to the likes of Manolo, his bags and shoes have become ever more ubiquitous. My [...]
- Yves Saint Laurent Releases Unisex Collection for New York Fashion Week - 2009-02-16 19:22:18-05
To coincide with New York Fashion Week, Yves Saint Laurent has released a special limited edition unisex collection. The exclusive fashion range, designed by Stefano Pilati, will only be available this week from YSL's pop-up shop in The Bowery. The look is inspired by Yves Saint Laurent's iconic 1960s tuxedos and the 1970s penchant for androgyny. [...]
- Maxx New York Babbo | Lime-Colored Leather Hobo - 2009-02-16 19:55:43-05
Sometimes the term "hobo" gets tossed around a bit too loosely when it comes to handbags, in my opinion. Is it mid-sized and slouchy with a shoulder strap? Then it's probably categorized as a hobo bag. This Maxx New York Babbo Hobo is an example of a purse that carries the term without having the typical [...]
- Swoop Carry On Duffle Bag | Functional Travel Handbag with Art Deco Design - 2009-02-16 20:57:57-05
From the outside this Swoop handbag looks like any ordinary duffle. The domed shape and dual rolled handles are nothing new. The art deco wallpaper print might be striking, but even that isn't particularly interesting. But it's the features that make it worth a second glance. It all starts with the long slip pocket on the [...]
- Tory Burch Suede T-Tote Bag | Slouchy and Soft Handbag with Perforated Logo - 2009-02-16 21:29:57-05
Take one Burch Degrade Tote, swap the graduated patent leather for some slouchy suede and you've got the T-Tote. This handbag is for girls that like the subtle perforated logo but want a more relaxed everyday look. No wonder it's a favorite of down-to-earth celebs like Christy Turlington and Anne Hathaway! The T-Tote might look more [...]
- Treesje London Satchel | Luxury Leather Spacious Box Handbag - 2009-02-17 01:05:12-05
It seems contradictory to describe a bag as both slouchy and structured, but the London satchel from Treesje doesn't like to play by the rules. Soft natural grained leather hangs on a structured boxy frame to create a look that's both relaxed, yet sophisticated. This makes the London one of the most versatile satchels I've [...]
- Christy Turlington Stars in Sexy Bally Spring Summer Advertising - 2009-02-17 02:05:06-05
Creative director Brian Atwood has turned up the heat for Bally's spring summer 2009 advertising. The steamy campaign is his first for the fashion label, and it's making a big impression. In another case of pairing a classic supermodel with a hot young thing, Brian has chosen Christy Turlington and Oriol Elcacho as his stars. The [...]
- Ugg Australia Stella Hobo Bag | Cute Chestnut Shearling Sheepskin Purse - 2009-02-17 03:05:08-05
The weather might be warming up, and designers might be releasing their gorgeous new spring and summer lines, but I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to winter just yet. One purse that exemplifies the chilly season is the Stella hobo from Ugg Australia. This hobo's traditional crescent shape is given a functional twist with the [...]
- Linea Pelle Danielle | Medium Brown Lambskin Leather Shoulder Bag - 2009-02-17 09:43:15-05
On the heels of a colorful fashion week, a brown leather handbag seems a bit simple. Despite a lack of this season's vibrant colors, any gal will admit that it's just one of those great basics that can pull an outfit together when you're not feeling creative. The Linea Pelle Danielle is exactly that type of [...]
- Giorgio Armani Blogs for the New York Times - 2009-02-17 10:23:44-05
Ever been curious to get in the mind of Armani? Well, we can at least get a glimpse this week. The designer can now add 'guest blogger' to his resume as he is writing for the fashion section of the New York Times' blog The Moment. The renowned designer writes about his arrival to the Big Apple for [...]
- Chloé Andy Small Canvas Tote | Preppy Utilitarian White And Olive Canvas Carryall - 2009-02-17 22:39:11-05
Chloe is a label that seems to be in a constant state of self re-invention. And as such, they are often bring us fresh new takes on old styles, retro reconfigured and reconstructed for a new era. I guess you could call the Andy Tote a reimagining of 80's preppy chic. The boxy shape and crisp [...]
- Versace Darling Satchel | Large Convertible White Leather Handbag - 2009-02-18 01:05:45-05
In keeping with the current trend for oversized handbags comes the Versace Darling satchel, a purse which can go from large to enormous with ease. The supple calfskin leather is at once casually slouchy and chic. The stark white color dresses things up, but I wonder how long it'll look this good. The protective feet on [...]
- British Fashion Store Topshop Heads to New York City - 2009-02-18 02:05:15-05
Sir Philip Green has announced his British fashion store chains Topshop and Topman will open in New York City on April 2. Supermodel and Topshop designer Kate Moss will be a guest of honor at the launch. The $20 million store will span 30, 000 square feet over three floors in the Broadway shopping mecca. Designed [...]
- Zac Posen Iris Shoulder Bag | Black and Brown Pleated Leather Purse - 2009-02-18 03:05:37-05
Zac Posen has a knack for producing purses that are modern classics. The Iris is no exception. The padded geometric details on the front panel give this handbag an almost futuristic appearance. It could so easily have looked trendy, but the use of soft Nappa leather in traditional black and brown gives the Iris a more [...]
- Big Buddha Veronica | Faux Snake Skin Clutch with Chain Strap - 2009-02-18 14:32:04-05
Textured handbags seem to be an emerging trend for the upcoming spring season. Casual materials like straw and woven leather are popping up alongside the continually popular textures of python and croc. This faux snake skin clutch is an example of how a material can transition into a different season with new colors. The Big Buddha [...]
- Marc Jacobs Handbags from Fashion Week Runway - 2009-02-18 15:01:32-05
The Purse Blog has compiled some fabulous pictures of the new Marc Jacobs bags seen on the runway at Fashion Week. Though the models and the clothes usually get the most attention, this new handbag collection has a personality that stands out on its own. Without a doubt, the quirky designer put his personality into these [...]
- Marni Slouchy Shoulder Bag | Soft Camel Leather Hobo With Eccentric Details - 2009-02-18 16:55:35-05
Marni is known for their interesting plays on color and design, and for their quirky interpretations of trends. This Slouchy Shoulder Bag makes good on two out of three of those ideals, but drops the ball, I think, on color. But then again, I've never been a fan of camel. Frankly, I am getting a little [...]
- Accessorize Sequin Clutch | Affordable Metallic Velvet Party Bag - 2009-02-19 01:05:09-05
This cute clutch bag from Accessorize is made to party. Sequins are a staple for any evening bag, but Accessorize is careful not to overdose on the bling. The base is covered with the metallic jewels, but the top features just a gentle smattering. This allows us to peek through to the luxurious velvet finish underneath. [...]
- Wolfgang Joop Says Heidi Klum Too Fat For Fashion - 2009-02-19 02:05:04-05
German fashion designer Wolfgang Joop has taken an unexpected, and undeserved, swipe at fellow countryman Heidi Klum. The founder of JOOP! declared that the Project Runway host and sometimes handbag designer is too chunky, and too happy, for the runway. "Heidi Klum is simply too heavy and has too big a bust. And she always grins [...]
- Bally Jana Tote | Luxurious Ostrich Leather Designer Handbag - 2009-02-19 03:05:49-05
This sexy Jana from Bally is all about the ostrich. The basic tote shape and lack of designer accents allow this exotic leather to take center stage. This glossy cuba brown bag really brings out the bumpy quill follicles, but there's also a matte black variety if you want to play things safe. Personally if I'm [...]
- Rebecca Minkoff Bread & Wine Tote | Canvas and Leather Handbag with Gold Lettering - 2009-02-19 14:55:51-05
It's always fun when designers let loose a little and not take their designs so seriously. That's exactly what Rebecca Minkoff seemed to have in mind when creating this tongue-in-cheek Bread & Wine Tote. Though a canvas tote is usually a practical (and eco-friendly) option for supermarket or farmer's market shopping, this one comes with particular [...]
- Armani's Fifth Avenue Store Opens to the Public - 2009-02-19 20:08:46-05
We recently got to read some of Armani's personal ramblings on the New York Times' blog The Moment, which included a snippet about his arrival in Manhattan for the newest addition to the Armani store family. While he wrote about the excitement of seeing a few high-profile friends and celebrities, the rest of us couldn't wait [...]
- Be&D Cosette Hobo Handbag | Large Slouchy Casual Carryall Day Bag - 2009-02-20 01:05:21-05
In a world of oversized handbags, this Be&D hobo knows how to stand out from the pack. The secret is the unique leather finish and the cute ruched details. The Cosette is available in purple and black varieties, but their differences go beyond merely color. This purple purse is made from traditional matte leather, with a [...]
- Museum of Design Alanta's Purse Exhibition "In the Bag" - 2009-02-20 02:05:53-05
The Museum of Design Atlanta is getting stylish with its newest exhibition, In the Bag. The display explores the origins, evolution, and design of our favorite fashion accessories. Curators Clint Zeagler and Kevin Knaus have assembled an exhibition which pays homage to the greats like Hermes and Oscar de la Renta. But it's not just about [...]
- Celine Andelys Shopper | Black Patent Leather Tote Bag - 2009-02-20 03:05:22-05
Any shopping trip can be a glamorous occasion when you're carrying the Andelys Tote from Celine. Black patent leather is effortlessly chic, and it's used to excellent effect here. The features are kept simple, with just a splash of polished silver hardware to amp up the style. Matching black patent corner details offer added strength without [...]
- Marni Shiny Leather Shoulder Bag | Sleek Pale Grey Pleated Leather Handbag With Chain Strap - 2009-02-20 11:24:14-05
Marni is known for creating looks with lots of current appeal, but their strikingly different details and couture craftsmanship keep them from backsliding into just another trendy, fly-by-night fashion house. The Shiny Shoulder bag stays true to this ideal. The chain strap is a gentle nod to the past (remember the ubiquitous Chanel chain strap purses [...]
- Treesje Vienna Hobo | Navy Blue Leather Handbag - 2009-02-20 20:50:03-05
Navy blue is one neutral that gets passed over far too often, in my opinion. Black and brown get much more credit than this third go-with-anything color. Personally, I think it's the now debunked rule of not pairing blue and black together has left the dark ocean tones trailing behind. When it comes to navy, though, deep [...]
- Phillip Lim's Runway Style Inspired by Model Tao Okamoto - 2009-02-20 21:43:46-05
Runway models are usually just the vehicle for designers to best display their creative product. Rarely do these stylish walking mannequins produce the inspiration for the designer...except in one of the recent shows at New York Fashion Week. Phillip Lim, one our favorite bag designers, met his model Tao Okamoto only two weeks ago but loved her [...]
- Chloé Bay Patent Bag | Cheerful And Fun Yellow Designer Patent Purse - 2009-02-20 23:07:21-05
I personally dread the moment that all my knee high boots have to go back in the closet, but putting away winter clothes is a pleasure if we have a spring season full of looks like this one to takes us through summer. Chloe's modern take on the classic Bay bag is brightly colored, small, and [...]
- Singer Siedah Garrett Turns Handbag Designer - 2009-02-21 01:05:28-05
Siedah Garrett sang "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" with Michael Jackson in the late 1980s, won a Grammy Award, and then seemed to disappear from the public eye. Well, not quite. The singer/songwriter has actually found a new career as a handbag designer. Siedah started her bag business when she found herself with one colorful [...]
- Christian Louboutin Bow Clutch | Adorable Patent Leather Purse with Girly Accent - 2009-02-21 01:05:30-05
Christian Louboutin has a knack for creating ultra glamorous, and ultra girly accessories. In lesser hands this clutch purse could have looked childish and cheap. But instead this bow clutch has just enough girly charm to be fabulous. No wonder current It girl Kim Kardashian adores hers! Kim's clutch is a neutral nude shade which is [...]
- Roxy Oh Yeah Tote | Blue Quilted Synthetic Handbag - 2009-02-21 20:59:17-05
My first thought when seeing the Roxy Oh Yeah tote was that it looks similar to Roxy's Sabrosa bag. The quilted effect on the two are indeed similar, but the Oh Yeah handbag has a much more casual vibe than the Sabrosa making it more suitable for shopping trips, informal lunches, and hanging out at the beach. This [...]
- Zac Posen's Runway Show Stays in Tune Thanks to Steinway Pianos - 2009-02-21 21:51:47-05
Though many recent fashion shows have displayed obvious cutbacks because of a suffering economy, Zac Posen's big dreams of multiple grand pianos for his show was kept alive due to a helping hand from Steinway. After hearing of the designer's dilemma of only being able to afford one piano for the runway when he envisioned a [...]
- Cole Haan Andi Unit Slim Shoulder Bag | Boho-Chic Nougat Leather Handbag wth Purple Accents - 2009-02-22 01:05:18-05
This Cole Haan Andi shoulder bag has a cool boho-chic vibe without feeling like a remnant from the sixties. The soft palatial leather is a neutral nougat color, ideal for coordinating with your favorite outfits. This subdued shape could so easily be boring if not for the plum purple trim and tassel. These fun features combine [...]
- Juicy Couture Freestyle | Large Ruched Leather Satchel - 2009-02-22 17:52:34-05
Every so often I come across a Juicy Couture handbag that surprises me. Though the brand generally calls to mind bright colors, lots of details, and printed crowns, they do have some grown-up styles that don't get nearly enough credit. I'm sure that bags like the Freestyle aren't Juicy's most widely popular items like the Daydreamer and [...]
- Topshop Gives Away Free Fashion Week Canvas Tote Bags - 2009-02-22 21:59:39-05
Topshop is celebrating London Fashion Week by offering its customers free totes! Between February 23 and 26, the British fashion retailer will give away limited edition Fashion Week totes.

- Unusual Fashion Week Finale for 'Project Runway' - 2009-02-22 22:31:40-05
I'm usually on the edge of my seat when Project Runwayepisodes airs. Who doesn't enjoy the nonsensical drama, the behind-the-scenes look at the fashion design world, and the wise musings of guru Tim Gunn? When New York Fashion Week rolls around, rumors and speculations run rampant about which favorites made it to the final three. An [...]
- Devi Kroell for Target Pochette | Small Metallic Snakeskin Textured Purse - 2009-02-23 01:05:17-05
Target's designer collaborations have resulted in some of the sexiest budget-friendly accessories I've seen. Devi Kroell's collection continued the tradition with this chic pochette. The polyurethane fabric has a rich snakeskin-like texture. It gives the pochette a sophisticated finish which looks much more expensive than the $19.99 retail value. The colors may not replicate real snakeskin, [...]
- Chanel Releases Shiny Segway with Classic Quilted 2.55 Purse - 2009-02-23 02:05:01-05
I've got to admire Karl Lagerfield. The world's economy is crumbling, yet the Chanel designer has released the ultimate fun but frivolous vehicle, the Chanel Segway. This new black leather personal transporter is a standard issue Segway tricked up with plenty of Chanel glamour. The CC logo proudly adorns the front, wheel, and handlebar. But the [...]
- Diane Von Furstenberg Boarding Bag | Large Printed Hearts Polyester Purse - 2009-02-23 03:05:52-05
Diane Von Furstenberg has a knack for helping girls reach any exotic destination looking a million dollars. She played it safe with the Marlene, but if you're looking for a more head-turning look allow me to introduce you to this fun boarding bag. Some may see this heart print fabric as a little juvenile, but those [...]
