New at BagBunch: Jimmy Choo Sky Hobo Bag | Black Leather Designer Hobo with Snakeskin Details

Hi mary,

Check out the latest handbag fashion news and review at BagBunch.com:
  1. Jimmy Choo Sky Hobo Bag | Black Leather Designer Hobo with Snakeskin Details - 2009-03-23 11:35:17-04
    Jimmy Choo is known for creating the shoes that contemporary women covet. His accessories line coordinates with and builds upon his modern classic aesthetic.  The thing about designing bags, though, is that they are not shoes. This may seem obvious, but the frivolous details that look great on shoes can sometimes look overdesigned on bags. The [...]
  2. Melie Bianco Croco Envelope Bag | Designer-Inspired Printed Leather Handbag - 2009-03-23 15:48:01-04
    Not all knock-offs and faux leather bags are worth looking at. Imitation might be the best form of flattery, but there are an unfortunate number of designer-inspired accessories that just don't get it right on so many levels. It might have its kinks, but the Melie Bianco Croco Envelope Bag is not one of those imitation [...]
  3. Yves Saint Laurent Collaborates with Net-a-Porter - 2009-03-23 21:36:10-04
    If you've had your eye on those outrageously expensive cage-heel boots from the Yves Saint Laurent Spring Ready-to-Wear runway show, then you're in luck. The company has teamed up with popular online retailer Net-a-Porter for an exclusive joint effort. Starting on Wednesday, you'll be able to browse through a small capsule collection of the Spring/Summer line [...]
  4. Bally Annita Travel Bag | Quilted Black Patent Leather Shoe Handbag - 2009-03-24 02:05:10-04
    There's no need to leave your favorite stilettos behind when Bally's Annita is your travel companion. This spacious bag has enough space to carry four pairs of shoes with room to spare! The cleverly designed interior is divided into eight separate shoe compartments, so you don't need to stress about scuffing your prized Jimmy Choos. If [...]
  5. Diane von Furstenberg Releases International Women's Day "Proud to Be a Woman" Tote for Vital Voices Charity - 2009-03-24 03:05:04-04
    Diane von Furstenberg is celebrating International Women's Day with an exclusive tote and T-shirt collection. The limited edition products feature a bold contemporary graphic of some female faces and the positive slogan "Proud to be a Woman." Aren't we all? The tote and T-shirt are affordably priced at less than $30 each. They're also guilt-free purchases, with [...]
  6. Be & D St. Germain Portfolio | Chic Patent Leather Purse with Jewel Accent - 2009-03-24 04:05:39-04
    This beautiful Be & D clutch can add instant glam to any outfit. Called the St. Germain portfolio, its defining feature is that stunning patent leather finish. The gunmetal purse has a chic crackled appearance, while the deep purple is smooth like liquid metal. The large jewel accent might not be a diamond, but its light-catching [...]
  7. Nine West Justine Shopper | Yellow Synthetic Leather Handbag - 2009-03-24 21:36:06-04
    This roomy shopper does more than just provide ample space for toting things around. The Nine West Justine bag combines faux leather and just a hint of cotton webbing for a contemporary casual look. I find the result of the combination appealing. The addition of cotton material on the front pocket and double handles is subtle [...]
  8. Betsey Johnson Joins Forces with Opening Ceremony - 2009-03-24 22:57:48-04
    Fashion collaborations seem to be all over the place right now. While we wait for the Yves Saint Laurent exclusive collection that's set to debut on Net-a-Porter tomorrow, more news of fashion's big names joining together rolls in. Quirky and fabulous designer Betsey Johnson is lending her legendary style and name for a new line. She has teamed up [...]
  9. Elie Tahari Ashlee Handbag | Pleated Luxury Leather Shoulder Bag - 2009-03-25 02:05:59-04
    The unique gathered look of the Ashlee sets this Elie Tahari handbag apart from those other pleated purses. Instead of ordinary straight pleats, the Ashlee features diagonal gathers which overlap in the center to create a truly original look. It's definitely different, but the conservatively colored chocolate leather means the purse never looks too bold. That [...]
  10. Tennis Star Serena Williams Makes Signature Statement with Accessories and Fashion Line - 2009-03-25 03:05:01-04
    Whether she's serving aces or walking the red carpet, Serena Williams' signature style is legendary. Now the American tennis star is set to share her iconic look with the world. The Wimbledon winner will launch her accessories and clothing collection, called Signature Statement, on April 30. The range was developed in collaboration with the Home [...]
  11. Felix Rey Ruffle Metal Mesh Clutch | Celebrity Favorite Bronze Purse - 2009-03-25 04:05:16-04
    This sexy metal mesh purse from Felix Rey is bound to look familiar. Modern style icons Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan have carried it, and it's graced the pages of InStyle and US Weekly. It's no wonder that glitzy gals like Paris and Lindsey have fallen for this beautiful bag. The mesh detail falls in a [...]
  12. Big Buddha Samantha Satchel | Gold and Brown Manmade Handbag - 2009-03-25 15:40:48-04
    It's no surprise that Big Buddha has yet another affordable but cute synthetic leather purse. There's nothing that makes the Samantha satchel stand out significantly, but it's a nice choice for a decently sized handbag with stylish details. The pebbled texture gives the Samantha's manmade material a slightly more authentic look. I'm not always a fan [...]
  13. Christy Turlington Rumored to Appear in Yves Saint Laurent Fall Ad Campaign | Supermodels are Back on Top - 2009-03-25 20:42:04-04
    Is it just me or does Christy Turlington seem to be everywhere lately? She recently starred in Bally's steamy spring and summer ads, and now she's rumored to be the top choice for Yves Saint Laurent's fall campaign. Of course, she's not the only one whose face is popping up again. The once-reigning supermodels of past [...]
  14. Furla Giglio Shopper | Glazed Red Leather Shopping Handbag - 2009-03-26 02:05:11-04
    Sometimes less really is more, and that's definitely the case with Furla's Giglio Shopper. It doesn't take a lot of risks, but there's something so refreshing about its simplicity. A little contrast stitching is the only embellishment needed for the spicy red leather exterior. The calfskin is glazed, toning it down and making it more accessible [...]
  15. Jenni Kayne Designs Free Mommy Bag for Drugstore.com - 2009-03-26 03:05:23-04
    Celebrity-favorite fashion designer Jenni Kayne is doing her bit for the financial crisis, teaming up with drugstore.com to create a value-packed free diaper bag for new moms! The Mommy Bag is a chic and compact alternative to traditional baby bags. As a new mom herself, Jenni looked to create something large enough for all those baby [...]
  16. Hayden-Harnett Clara Clutch | Chic Black Zeus Colorblocked Wallet - 2009-03-26 04:05:32-04
    Colorblocked accessories are so hot this season, but it's sometimes hard to pull off the look without appearing like a 1980s reject. This Hayden-Harnett Clara clutch gets it right with its conservative tones and sleek appearance. The predominantly black leather finish is embellished with a pale gray patch on the flap and plum piping. Turquoise and [...]
  17. Anya Hindmarch Large Louisa Patent Clutch | Sleek And Curvy Blue Patent Leather Clutch - 2009-03-26 15:13:34-04
    There's something about 80's retro-style nostalgia that I can really get into. Maybe it's how decadent and over-the-top the best of the 80's styles were, but I also think it's that decade really re-defined casual night-out dressing. It really wasn't until then that you could wear jeans and heels to a nightclub, and who wants [...]
  18. SR Squared by Sondra Roberts Patchwork Linen Satchel | Colorful Handbag with Chain Handle - 2009-03-26 21:33:05-04
    Few materials say warm weather quite like linen. The light, breezy fabric is ideal for sunny spring and summer days. However, I have my doubts when the texture is bogged down with too much color or other details. For instance, this SR Squared by Sondra Roberts Patchwork Linen Satchel is a tad overdone, in my opinion. I couldn't [...]
  19. Nina Ricci Continues to Impress without Olivier Theyskens - 2009-03-26 22:18:03-04
    Though some fashion followers were shocked by the recent departure of Olivier Theyskens from design house Nina Ricci, things are looking up for the company. With the sometimes edgy creative director out, the brand is marching full steam ahead to a style that combines classic and unique. Fans of Nina Ricci won't be surprised by this switcheroo and probably won't be [...]
  20. Isaac Mizrahi Equestrian Feedbag | Luxury Leather Drawstring Handbag - 2009-03-27 02:05:42-04
    This bag is dubbed the equestrian feedbag, a name which instantly makes me think of a hessian sack filled with carrots or hay for Mr. Ed. But in reality this Isaac Mizrahi handbag shows a casual sophistication. Drawstrings typically make a bag look relaxed, but this leather one's a little more dressed up than the average. [...]
  21. Chloé' Opens Boutique in Melrose Place | Chloe Handbags at New Los Angeles Outlet - 2009-03-27 03:05:20-04
    It's been a long time coming, but Chloé's Los Angeles outlet has finally opened its doors. The Melrose Place boutique's opening was delayed for years due to construction woes, but it looks like it was worth the wait. The new store feels more like a townhouse than a retail outlet with its crisp white walls, landscaped [...]
  22. Radley Potting Shed Handbag | Durable Leather Trimmed Canvas Tote Bag - 2009-03-27 04:05:31-04
    The Potting Shed handbag from Radley might not have the sleek chic appeal of an upmarket leather purse, but its quaint rustic charm is made to go the distance. Its thick, heavy canvas exterior makes this tote tough as nails, and gives it an adorable rustic charm. The natural ivory fabric is accented by a darker [...]
  23. Fendi Multicolored Reptile Stamped Baguette | Pastel Metallic Designer Clutch Handbag - 2009-03-27 18:00:05-04
    Fendi is making me feel a little out of touch with reality right now. Because I know for sure that I fell asleep in a world that had sensible rules like gravity, and woke up to a world in which it is okay to cover a purse in what appears to be my sticker collection [...]
  24. Moschino Cheap & Chic Rosa Shoulder Bag | Metallic Leather Handbag with Buckles - 2009-03-27 20:57:49-04
    The offshoot brand Moschino Cheap & Chic has a somewhat misleading name, depending on who you ask. Though definitely chic, I find Moschino's term "cheap" to perhaps be a little tongue-in-cheek humor since the items offered generally retail at designer prices beyond what the average person considers to be cheap. Especially with the economy as [...]
  25. Lanvin Opens First London Store | Designer Alber Elbaz Entertains - 2009-03-27 21:39:50-04
    When I think of an artistic director, a budding comedian isn't exactly what comes to my mind. However, Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz apparently had a store opening crowd "in stitches" as he entertained with his quick wit and humor. The designer for the long-running French design house was in London to celebrate the opening of a new women's store, surprisingly Lanvin's [...]
  26. Gucci Releases Expensive Designer Cruiser Bicycle - 2009-03-28 03:05:21-04
    Gucci has responded to Chanel's Segway with its own two-wheeler: a luxury cruiser bicycle. The bike sports Gucci accents all over, but it's still surprisingly tasteful. The bronze metal frame is the ideal complement to the chocolate brown Guccissima leather seat, handlebars, seat pack, and pannier. I don't even mind the white signature logo and Gucci [...]
  27. Jessica Simpson Dresscode Tote | Sleek Coated Handbag with Signature Print - 2009-03-28 15:12:43-04
    Anyone familiar with Jessica Simpson's brand won't be surprised by this Dresscode tote. I think I could easily recognize the company's signature look on it from a line-up of handbags (if that ever existed). As far as Jessica Simpson purses go, this one's a prime example of everything the brand offers. The Dresscode tote is made [...]
  28. Gucci Moves Back into Newly Renovated London Flagship Boutique - 2009-03-28 16:20:24-04
    While some struggling designers are renting out their retail spaces until things turn around for them, Gucci is moving forward and moving in...at least into their redesigned flagship location on London's Sloane Street. Like the brand-new Armani/Fifth Avenue spot in New York City, Gucci's newly renovated boutique contains impressive architectural details and glamorous details. This is now [...]
  29. Roberto Cavalli Sahara Print Clutch | Exotic Patterned Satin Purse - 2009-03-29 01:00:38-04
    Animal print seems to be everywhere these days, but if you're looking for something just a little bit different this Sahara Print Clutch from Roberto Cavalli is worth a second glance. The regular stripes and spots we're used to are replaced with a design that's a little more abstract and irregular. The African animal influence is [...]
  30. Rampage Amber Tote | Colorful Striped Canvas and Patent Bag - 2009-03-29 14:51:22-04
    I realize that bright, bold colors are in this season, but this multi-colored Rampage bag takes the trend just a bit too far for me. With its yellow, turquoise, and orange stripes, the Amber tote is more circus than chic, in my opinion. Don't misunderstand me, though. I'm a fan of striped handbags. I just think [...]
  31. Christian Siriano Continues to Rise | Project Runway Winner's Fall Collection Picked up by Saks - 2009-03-29 15:57:40-04
    I'll admit that I'm surprised by Christian Siriano's quickly rising popularity. After recently reporting a doubling of sales for his brand, this Project Runway favorite continues on the up and up. Though he previously only revealed that there were "ten great new stores" picking up his latest collection, I'm impressed to learn that one of them is retail [...]
  32. Chloè Shelby Shopper | Fab Retro 70's Tan Leather Luggage Styled Handbag - 2009-03-29 21:29:15-04
    This bag is totally hip-to-be-square. All of the nerdy conservative details of the Shelby add up into something that's really fabulous, and totally not the sum of its parts.  The tan is the faded reddish brown of wallpaper and side-paneled station wagons. They're calling this color nutmeg, which I think is just fine. The geometry of [...]
  33. Custom Handbags Website Elemental Threads Offers Eco-Friendly Carbon Offsets with ShopGreen - 2009-03-29 22:53:58-04
    Online handbag store Elemental Threads is one of the first web retailers to team up with ShopGreen. This new online application allows customers to purchase carbon offsets to reduce the environmental impact of their new accessory. Innovation is nothing new to Elemental Threads. Unlike most purse stores, the website offers fully customizable accessories. With shoppers selecting [...]
  34. Timmy Woods Lip Sync Handbag | Rare Unique Wooden Mouth Handle Purse - 2009-03-30 00:26:30-04
    No one would ever accuse Timmy Woods of being a shrinking violet. Her weird and wonderful handbags are always eye-catching, even if they don't suit everyone's tastes. Ordinarily I can get swept up in her off the wall creative vision, but the Lip Sync purse has me scratching my head. The black and white lace body [...]
  35. Versace Bubble Hobo | Celebrity Favorite Textured Leather Handbag with Tassel - 2009-03-30 02:05:05-04
    The Bubble bag is the latest "It" handbag to come from the iconic fashion house of Versace. Halle Berry and Fergie have been snapped carrying the tamer nude and beige versions, but I prefer this vibrant orange purse. The shade accents the Bubble's unique texture, and satisfies the current trend for all things 80s. It's that [...]
  36. Asian Fabrics Inspire New Breed of Handbag Designers | Chako, Kotur, and Rafe Ditch Leather for Exotic Materials - 2009-03-30 03:05:35-04
    The new breed of handbag designers is ditching traditional leathers and furs for more unique Asian fabrics. For her Chako accessories, Asian designer Kazumi Nakanishi has looked to the past. All her purses are made from antique kimono and obi [the sash worn around a kimono] fabrics. "I was never into 'It' bags and I really want [...]
  37. Zac Posen Lucia Hobo | Woven Leather Casual Designer Handbag - 2009-03-30 04:05:03-04
    Zac Posen's stripped off his designer suit and gone casual with this fun Lucia hobo bag. Strips of black and white leather are woven together to give this purse its cute geometric design. The patterned panels are complemented by wide white leather stripes running from the top of the bag to its base. A gathered drawstring [...]
