1. Bulga Butterfly Hobo Bag | Luxurious Leather Hippie Chic Studded Handbag - 2009-04-20 22:07:56-04
   The Bulga Butterfly Hobo combines confidence and originality in a luxuriously relaxed fashion. The fun, flirty design makes it an ideal complement for this spring's hottest trends, including boyfriend tees, wideleg jeans, gladiator sandals and oversized sunglasses. The butterfly hobo is constructed of fine Italian leather with a buttery texture and ultra rich color. The strap is [...]
   
2. La Regale 1920s Vintage Style Beaded Clutch | Fan-Shaped Shell Purse - 2009-04-20 22:14:22-04
   I like cheap brands that do it well. It's a personal thing; I just find it so rare that labels release a mass-produced bag that looks darn good. I find I don't care if everyone I see is using it, I just care that it didn't, for once, break the bank. This is bag is just [...]
   
3. Coach Parker Large Convertible Hippie | Roomy Designer Tote Seen on Celebrities - 2009-04-20 23:27:15-04
   Katie Holmes might have been draped in Miu Miu bags for the brand's spring/summer ad campaign, but her latest accessory of choice is the Coach Parker Hippie handbag. This celebrity mom is known for setting trends, but I think the practicality of this tote probably had more to do with this choice. The attractive style is [...]
   
4. Study Shows Luxury Industry Downturn Expected to Continue - 2009-04-21 00:29:34-04
   The recent semi-annual update to Bain's Luxury Goods Worldwide Market Study predicts a continuance in the luxury industry's downturn. Honestly, I'd be surprised to hear that anyone expected otherwise. Although the study showed a 15-20% decline in the first two quarters of this year, there is hope for the rest of 2009. They expect the decline to slow down for the [...]
   
5. Samsonite Black Label Alexander McQueen Computer Bag | Stylish Black Leather Laptop Bag - 2009-04-21 01:25:51-04
   While style icon and French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld may claim not to know how to use the computer, tech is chic. These days women want their electronics to be encased as fashionably as everything else they carry. Samsonite knew this when they paired up with couture genius Alexander McQueen for a luggage collection. This Samsonite [...]
   
6. Hype Gaby Satchel | Structured Glazed Leather Casual Purse - 2009-04-21 02:05:51-04
   With its cute little name, I expected something more petite and girly from the Gaby. Instead it's an oversized satchel with a cool, casual, attitude. The oversized zipper pulls and retro curves remind me of Chloe's Bay Bag, but unlike that celebrity favorite this Hype satchel doesn't come with a four-figure price tag. That make the [...]
   
7. Louis Vuitton Donates Online Profits to The Climate Project for Earth Day - 2009-04-21 03:05:07-04
   Louis Vuitton is going green tomorrow, April 22, to celebrate Earth Day. The luxury handbag designer will donate 15% of the day's online American sales to The Climate Project. The Climate Project is the brainchild of Nobel Laureate and former vice president Al Gore. The international non-profit group looks to raise public awareness of the [...]
   
8. Maddalena Marconi Satin Clutch | Jeweled Black Feather Evening Purse - 2009-04-21 04:05:21-04
   Forget about the practicalities. This satin clutch by Maddalena Marconi is simply a thing of beauty. Its Italian pedigree shows in the design, which is dramatic without being ostentatious. The elements could have so easily been overworked, but this purse is styled with stunning restraint. A ring of Swarovski crystals pops against the black satin finish. [...]
   
9. Alexander McQueen Crystal Print Clutch | Bizarre And Beautiful Satin Print Clutch - 2009-04-21 20:55:05-04
   Alexander McQueen does it again! Does what? Well, he comes up with something new and innovative that doesn't look like anything else out there and totally makes it work. The crystal print on this smooth satin twill clutch looks almost holographic and three dimensional. It's got a space age, futuristic appeal that is also polished enough [...]
   
10. Matt and Nat Marais Satchel | Japanese Paper Handbag in Vegan Leather - 2009-04-21 21:17:44-04
    The Matt & Nat Marais is not a new bag for the brand, but it is definitely worth a closer look. If you're in the market for a practical, cruelty-free satchel, the Marais will suit you perfectly. Although I'm sure PETA can't say enough nice things about Matt & Nat's animal-friendly fashion, it's the style critics [...]
    
11. Latico Green Women's Bowler Bag | Casual Oversized Leather Hold-all Handbag - 2009-04-21 21:38:48-04
    Picture the scene. You're packing for a cheeky night out, but don't fancy dragging your massive suitcase around. You can only fit a lipstick in your satin clutch, and your Coach tote is packed with work. What do you do? This simple bag may be the answer to your prayers - large and spacey, yet retro and [...]
    
12. Personalize Your Own Longchamp Handbag | Choose from Brand's Most Popular Styles - 2009-04-21 23:24:16-04
    The slowly growing trend of fashion customization is something I definitely approve of. If you're going to drop a decent amount of cash on a purse, it's nice to have control of at least a few of the features. Plus, doesn't it make you feel just a little like a fashion designer picking out coordinating [...]
    
13. Rebecca Minkoff Matinee Tote | Vanessa Minnillo's Leather East-West Bag - 2009-04-22 01:56:22-04
    If you've got a certain amount to spend, you could probably do all your handbag shopping from the pages of gossip mags. Stars get their hands on all the best styles first, as with this Rebecca Minkoff Matinee Tote. Vanessa Minnillo was spotted carrying it leaving Alice + Olivia. It's actually pretty practical to view bags [...]
    
14. Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Flap Clutch | Chic Exotic Reptile Skin Evening Purse - 2009-04-22 02:05:30-04
    Nancy Gonzalez is back to doing what she does best here: creating glorious handbags using exotic crocodile skin. We've looked at her handbags before, but if you're after something snappier for after five this flap clutch could be just the thing. The first thing you'll notice is the unusual coloring. The crocodile skin has been elegantly [...]
    
15. Oroton Anya Clutch | Crocodile Embossed Leather Purse - 2009-04-22 04:05:43-04
    With its sexy slim lines and crocodile embossed finish, the Anya clutch by Oroton is dressed to impressed. The crocodile stamped leather probably won't fool many fashion fans, but it's still beautiful in its own right. The glazed finished gives the scales a glossy sheen which helps the Anya make the transition from day to night. [...]
    
16. Shop for Shoes and Handbags from Your iPhone | Fashion Apps iShoes and iBags Available for Free - 2009-04-22 04:14:14-04
    Switched on fashionistas can now shop for brand new accessories from their iPhone. It's all thanks to iBags and iShoes, some sexy new applications launched by the Mobile App Studio yesterday. "There are over 35,000 apps available now on the Apple App Store, but one thing we've noticed is that very few of these apps are [...]
    
17. Tignanello Modern Mix Dome Tote | Pebbled Leather Handbag with Contrasting Colors - 2009-04-22 16:11:20-04
    Tignanello usually does a great job at creating interesting color combinations without becoming gaudy or overdone. For example, the Touchable and On the Go Totes have just the right amount of contrast resulting in chic not flashy. The Modern Mix Tote by Tignanello once again accomplishes that task beautifully. I absolutely adore the sort of watermelon color combo [...]
    
18. Envirosax Organic Bamboo Bag | Reusable Eco-Friendly Shopper for Earth Day - 2009-04-22 18:50:24-04
    Happy Earth Day! That's right, I'll take any excuse to shop for a new bag, and Earth Day is today's. Reusable totes are one of the easiest, trendiest and most fashionable ways to help the planet. This Envirosax Organic Bamboo Bag is even eco-friendly in more ways than one. It's reusable. Duh. It's also made from bamboo [...]
    
19. Black and White Tinkerbell Handbag | Cute Cartoon Motif Disney Purse - 2009-04-22 19:02:25-04
    It is easy to think that handbags are just for women, and perhaps once upon a time they were. In today's modern society, however, there is something for everyone: fashionable luggage, handy man-bags and more. In the same vein, bags for kids are becoming hot property. This purse is bound to be a favourite with little [...]
    
20. Fendi Small Patent Peek-A-Boo Bag | Chic And Ladylike Black Patent Leather Handbag - 2009-04-22 19:21:59-04
    I'm not one of those girls that just goes totally nuts when they see the Fendi logo. In fact, I have been known to disregard the line entirely because it tends to be a little too flashy for my personal taste. But sometimes they come up with something that really intrigues me, and this is [...]
    
21. Radley Lyric Shoulder Purse | Large Leather Grab Bag - 2009-04-23 02:33:17-04
    British designer Radley tends to creates cute and quirky bags like the Foot Loose and Brighton. But every now and again they play it straight and show us they can produce a purse as chic and subtle as any luxury line. Take the Lyric here. Its soft textured leather and sculpted round shape wouldn't look out [...]
    
22. Peter Copping Heads Nina Ricci Creative Design Team | Ex Louis Vuitton Designer Takes Olivier Theyskens Role - 2009-04-23 03:05:26-04
    The rumors were right: Peter Copping has jumped ship from Louis Vuitton to step into Olivier Theysken's very large shoes. The designer has been formerly named the new creative director of Nina Ricci. Peter is currently working on a resort collection for the fashion label which we'll see in June. But we won't see his work [...]
    
23. Zaftique Jaunty Shoulder Bag | Suede Handbag with Brass Details - 2009-04-23 04:05:35-04
    What a difference a shade makes. The Jaunty Shoulder Bag comes in just three tones, but each comes with its own unique personality. This delicious camel color is known as natural. It gives this suede shoulder bag a Western feel, without it looking too kitsch. The brass metal details and polished studs seem to blend into [...]
    
24. Christian Louboutin Sylvia Large Saba Water Snake Bag | Exotic And Gorgeous Pale Green Snakeskin Hobo - 2009-04-23 20:16:45-04
    Christian Louboutin shoes are so classic and perfect that they have spawned zillions of designer imposters. His handbags are lesser known, but not for long. With bags like this Sylvia snakeskin hobo, Louboutin's effortless handheld chic will undoubtedly be replicated en masse faster than you can learn how to pronounce his name without offending French [...]
    
25. MadisonAveMall Vintage Style Tapestry Evening Bag | Tea Party Clutch with Victorian Beading - 2009-04-23 21:32:52-04
    This bag from MadisonAveMall is undeniably pretty. In neutral shades and with delicate beading, it harks back to Victorian tea parties, sumptuous balls and elegant occasions. With vintage permanently on the rise, this bag is not just on the bandwagon, but probably part of it. We in the industry would call this tribute vintage inspired, and it [...]
    
26. Marc by Marc Jacobs Standard Supply Overlay Tote | Large and Casual Muted Floral Handbag - 2009-04-23 21:55:09-04
    There is something that seems so odd about paying almost $230 for a handbag that has a description of itself plastered on the front. As quirky as always, Marc Jacobs actually chose to have the words "Type: Big Tote" printed on this Overlay Tote. Of course, fans of the Marc by MJ brand will probably recognize [...]
    
27. Carlos Falchi Celebrates 30th Anniversary at Bergdorf Goodman | Archival Pieces Displayed and Limited Edition Collection for Sale - 2009-04-24 00:33:21-04
    Bottega Veneta isn't the only designer getting some attention from Bergdorf Goodman. Carlos Falchi has earned his fair share of the spotlight, too, and the retail store is honoring his achievements. To commemorate his decades of business in the fashion world, Bergdorf has opened a new installation featuring archival pieces from the Brazilian-born designer. It will [...]
    
28. Yves Saint Laurent Satin Ribbon Clutch | Black Velvet Evening Bag - 2009-04-24 01:11:30-04
    Looking for a luxe evening accessory to jazz up last year's formal gown? Start with this Yves Saint Laurent Satin Ribbon Clutch and it will hardly matter what else you're wearing. It may not exactly be cost-efficient, but it will add an of-the-moment piece to your look, whether you're going to a charity event or [...]
    
29. Aldo Castelnuovo Shoulder Bag | Affordable Retro Two-Tone Synthetic Purse - 2009-04-24 02:05:32-04
    Ever since the financial crisis hit, I've been on the lookout for those elusive brands that deliver stylish accessories for less. Aldo is one of my favorites, and purses like this Castelnuovo show you why. This retro-cool purse manages to get it right, combining 1950s styling with a modern attitude. The ivory synthetic is a neutral [...]
    
30. Art Collector Sues Louis Vuitton For Fraud | Is a Hacked Up Handbag Really Art? - 2009-04-24 03:05:35-04
    Louis Vuitton tends to be the sue-er rather than the sue-ee, but the tables have been turned on the handbag giant. The fashion label is being sued by gourmet butter mogul Clint Arthur for fraud. The case came about when Louis Vuitton set up a boutique outlet inside Takeshi Murakami's exhibit at Los Angeles' Museum of [...]
    
31. Comme des Garçons Clover Wallet | Embossed Red Leather Coin Purse - 2009-04-24 04:05:26-04
    From the house of Comme des Garçons comes this gorgeous wallet, an accessory which combines understated elegance with individual style. The first thing to catch your eye is that vibrant red color. There's really no missing the scarlet shade! These days red is almost regarded as a neutral anyway, but if it's a little lurid for [...]
    
32. Hobo International Wendy Shoulder Bag | Yellow Patent Leather Handbag with Intricate Topstitching - 2009-04-24 15:15:58-04
    I'm not always a fan of shiny patent handbags during the warmer seasons since, to me, the material just looks more appropriate on a deep, rich tone for fall or winter. However, sometimes a spring or summer bag can look fabulous in patent when paired with the right color and details. That's what makes the Hobo International [...]
    
33. White Shoulder Bag By Alexander McQueen For Samsonite | Fabulous Minimalist Carry-On With Croc Details - 2009-04-24 21:16:46-04
    Alexander McQueen is known for his edgy, irreverent designs, and Samsonite is known for creating sturdy luggage that will last a lifetime. So what do you get when you combine them? Two great tastes that taste great together! I should probably offer the disclaimer that I ordered this bag for myself today. Which should go a [...]
    
34. Prada Opens the Transformer in Seoul | Futuristic Temporary Structure to Display Art, Film, and Fashion - 2009-04-24 23:16:25-04
    Despite reports that the luxury industry will continue to see some disheartening bottom lines this year, some fashion companies are pushing forward with their supremely expensive marketing ploys...I mean, community art projects. Not to be outdone by other brands, Prada has dropped mega-bucks, $10 million to be exact, to raise a temporary structure in Seoul that will function as [...]
    
35. Kathy Van Zeeland Delicious Shoulder Bag | Sexy Mustard Suede and Leather Hold-all - 2009-04-25 01:52:07-04
    This is a great, yet simple, handbag. In fashionable mustard faux suede, it is soft and flexible, perfect for carrying your treasured everyday items with maximum comfort. It's even big enough to sling in some extra goodies: your big five-year diary, perhaps, or a folder for work. Even a little chihuahua would fit in quite [...]
    
36. Emilio Pucci Cosmetics Purse | Colorful Signature Print Make-Up Bag - 2009-04-25 02:05:17-04
    If you love Emilio Pucci's psychedelic signature prints, but don't feel confident enough to carry a bag as large as the Summer Shopper, this cosmetics purse could be just what you've been searching for. Those colorful signature prints are what makes these cosmetics purses so appealing. But what I like most is that they can be [...]
    
37. Catherine Deneuve and Queen Rania Carry Prison Chic Purses | Sarah's Bag Helps Lebanese Prisoners - 2009-04-25 03:05:57-04
    Legendary actress Catherine Deneuve recently made headlines for carrying a striking black clutch purse featuring the Arabic words "Where is my heart?" The embroidered bag is the brainchild of Sarah Beydoun, a Lebanese designer who employs her country's female prisoners to fulfill her creative vision. The touching story began a few years ago when Sarah was [...]
    
38. Big Buddha Groupie Satchel | Oversized Synthetic Leather Handbag with Detachable Strap - 2009-04-25 15:52:32-04
    It's not hard to get accustomed to the oversized handbag trend. Whereas they were previously confined to airports and overnight trips, large satchels like this Big Buddha Groupie have quickly made their way into everyday outfits as gals tote around a monstrous amount of necessities and extras. Although I suppose doctors are not particularly fond of the [...]
    
39. Handbag Therapy Analyzes Contents of Bags | Sends Individual Analysis to Customers - 2009-04-25 23:20:59-04
    Forget the impression your bag's style or brand gives out. What do the items inside say about you? One company is giving you some answers. This is more than describing a personality based on a purse choice. Handbag Therapy offers each customer an individualized analysis based on the contents of their own handbag. How does it work? Send [...]
    
40. RG House of Florence Yellow Baguette | Elegant Italian Boar Leather Purse - 2009-04-26 01:53:27-04
    I do love a good purse. I also love brands that aren't afraid to keep it plain, so it isn't surprising that this modernist yellow clutch really caught my eye. As with all great bags, the shape and lines of a good design speak for themselves, and this purse is no exception. With its gently [...]
    
41. Hype Stardust Clutch | Glam Metallic Party Purse - 2009-04-26 02:05:22-04
    Prepare to party with this fun Stardust clutch from Hype. The sexy metal mesh body comes in glitzy gold and silver, or a more sedate black version. I love the slinky appeal of the tiny metal discs, but I'm not sure they gel with the leather handles. Perhaps using patent leather or opting for a metal [...]
    
42. Heavy Handbags Pose Health Risks | Lightweight Purses Preferred By Doctors - 2009-04-26 03:05:48-04
    Chiropractors have confirmed what fashion lovers had already guessed: your favorite oversized handbag is bad for your health. The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress says these popular purses may be convenient, but carrying them creates a postural imbalance, which may have dire consequences for the spinal discs, body structures, and nervous system. "I have had patients complain [...]
    
43. Jessica Simpson Aer Weekender Bag | Black Leather Hold-All for Weekend Getaways - 2009-04-26 10:39:23-04
    You hear the name Jessica Simpson, and generally pink, fluffy, slightly vacuous things spring to mind! Cowgirl tassels and skimpy USA bikinis, perhaps? In the world of handbags, however, she is beginning to make quite an impact, and demonstrating her maturity and sophistication with sexy bags like this is really upping the stakes. OK, that's enough [...]
    
44. Christian Dior Diorita Medium Hobo | Sleek Black Leather Designer Hobo - 2009-04-26 13:30:21-04
    The last things I usually think of when I think of hobo bags are the words "sleek" or "sophisticated". Not because the women carrying them aren't those things, but because hobos are usually more slouchy, casual, and bohemian. But, as usual, Christian Dior is the label that can class up any casual look, and they do [...]
    
45. Jessica Simpson Dreamcatcher Macrame Hobo | Ultra Casual Bohemian Handbag - 2009-04-26 15:58:18-04
    When I think of macrame handbags, Jessica Simpson's brand definitely does not come to mind. Her looks are generally semi-casual everyday to formal, whereas macrame is the epitome of uber-casual, wear-with-flip-flops kind of style. The material is something I would expect to see on a Lucky Brand bag like the Diana Shopper, which actually isn't a [...]
    
46. Marc Jacobs The Single Evening Bag | Quilted Fuchsia Leather Purse With Chain Strap - 2009-04-26 22:29:57-04
    There's nothing as disappointing as when one of your favorite designers comes up with something that you think is totally unoriginal. Then you have to begin to question your own taste and wonder whether they were ever original at all. Not that I would ever wonder those things about Marc Jacobs. I think he's pretty much [...]
    
47. Michelle Obama's Style Showcased in New Book | "Michelle Style: Celebrating the First Lady of Fashion" Hits Stores Soon - 2009-04-26 23:46:28-04
    By now, it's nothing new to hear raves about the latest stylish outfit worn by Michelle Obama. Women everywhere are scrambling to emulate the style of the fashionable First Lady whether it's a sleeveless dress from Michael Kors or a formal gown from Jason Wu. Though her husband is only just approaching his first 100 days in office, [...]
    
48. Maddalena Marconi Jeweled Black Box Clutch | Quilted Patent Leather Evening Purse Chain Strap - 2009-04-27 02:05:06-04
    This Maddalena Marconi box clutch can effortlessly add some retro glamour to any outfit. The black patent leather finish features diagonal quilting, evoking vintage Chanel. But the embellishments are what make this purse no mere designer homage. The front features a blooming camellia flower carefully crafted from white Swarovski crystals. We see the crystals again in [...]
    
49. Kaija Creates Eco-Friendly, Socially Responsible Woven Organic Tote Bags and Clutches - 2009-04-27 03:05:40-04
    Earth Day might have been and gone, but that doesn't mean bagistas have stopped searching for stylish eco-friendly accessories. Kaija is the latest green label to make a splash with its organic and environmentally-friendly tote bags and clutches. Kaija means "able," a word which resonates with meaning for designer Khrisna Justo. During a visit to the [...]
    
50. Nancy Gonzalez Raffia and Crocodile Clutch | Barrel Shaped Casual Exotic Purse - 2009-04-27 04:05:47-04
    Nancy Gonzalez accessories are either traditional classics or quirky creations. This barrel clutch definitely falls into the latter category, with its surprising blend of crocodile and raffia. Tightly woven cream raffia complements a brown crocodile lattice overlay. These aren't fabrics we tend to see together; raffia is a casual summer fabric while crocodile is exotic and [...]
    
51. Aldo Eurostac Ruffle Handbag | Sexy Origami Folded Purse - 2009-04-27 06:00:28-04
    Origami is one of the harder styles to wear this season. Super-tall super-pretty supermodels traipse happily up and down the catwalk, covered head to toe in sculptured ruffles and dramatic shapes. For us mere mortals, however, wearing folds and creases as big and obvious as this is nothing short of hard work! Thankfully, high street and bargain [...]
