- Marc Jacobs Large Flat Leather Case | Business Chic Violet Grey Smooth Grained Clutch - 2009-06-01 13:44:24-04
Business is not usually what I think of when I think Marc Jacobs. Not that his designs aren't suitable in the office, they just aren't particularly briefcase-y, you know?
That being said, this clutch is perfectly designed for its purpose, which is to keep papers and files organized and well-sheathed. And while it is perfectly business-y, [...]
- Prada Cervo Antik Bowler Handbag | Deerskin Leather Designer Satchel - 2009-06-01 17:05:52-04
The name Prada usually renders mental images of high-end designs, fashionable runways, and maybe even Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestley in The Devil Wears Prada. For me, however, Prada always equals well-made, chic handbags.
That's exactly how I'd describe this Prada Cervo Antik Bowler bag. Because of the brand name, you know undoubtedly that you'll be getting excellent quality. [...]
- Savanna Austrian Crystal Encrusted Clutch | Jeweled Purse in Geometric Print - 2009-06-01 19:59:45-04
This clutch is a crystal encrusted gem, patterned in a sixties geometric print. So very mod, this bag is perfect to accessorize simple sixties dresses and cute platforms.
Crystal purses like this never fail as statement items. They are the perfect accompaniment for any exciting and elegant evening - the perfect level of bling to attract [...]
- Lulu Guinness Shell Clutch | Padded Straw Bag With Detachable Strap - 2009-06-01 20:05:18-04
If you know of a chicer take on the straw bag for summer, please let me know because I am besotted with the Lulu Guinness Padded Straw Shell Clutch.
The black color elevates what could easily have looked like a Boardwalk souvenir from the Jersey shore to a fashionable piece. The shape was definitely a risk [...]
- Celebrities Donate Signed Salvatore Ferragamo Handbags for Charity | Jennifer Aniston, Madonna, and Demi Moore Included - 2009-06-01 22:34:40-04
Some of the hottest Hollywood celebrities are lending a hand (and a signature) to benefit charity, and they're giving up their Salvatore Ferragamo handbags to accomplish it.
A-listers like Madonna, Demi Moore, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Eva Longoria-Parker (whose note you see pictured here) are donating their own signed Ferragamo handbags to benefit the rebuilding of L'Aquila, an Italian city severely [...]
- Lauren Merkin Frankie Tote | Chic Black Quilted Nylon Handbag - 2009-06-02 02:05:12-04
Lauren Merkin has made a splash on the red carpet for her covetable clutches. Here she's upsized her signature style to create the Frankie, a chic and versatile tote bag.
The glossy black exterior looks so chic with its contemporary curved quilting and subtle pleats. In fact, I had to double check that it wasn't leather! [...]
- Kim White Handbags Made From Eco-Friendly Vintage Car Fabrics - 2009-06-02 03:05:45-04
Retro car enthusiasts love the loud fabrics used in automobile interiors in the 1970s and 80s. Now female automotive addicts can own handbags crafted from these unique materials.
Kim White Handbags are created from never-used textiles intended for American automobiles. Each purse is tagged with the year and make of the fabric, so you'll know which [...]
- Melie Bianco Applique Hobo Bag | Ethnic Bohemian Handbag with Tribal Pattern - 2009-06-02 04:05:50-04
Melie Bianco is one of the stars' biggest secrets, with its on-trend handbags that don't cost the earth. In fact, style icons Mandy Moore and Nicole Richie have both been spotted carrying this very hobo! I think that makes it worth a second look.
The first thing you'll notice is that stunning appliqué design. The hand-worked [...]
- Stella McCartney Cloud Print Shopper | Canvas Tote With Blue And White Sky Print - 2009-06-02 16:20:33-04
There's nothing like a day on the beach with a cloudless sky and a cloudy tote bag to carry all your favorite beach toys in. This sweet Stella McCartney tote is perfect for just that sort of day.
The huge 21" x 14" x 5" size is generous enough to fit every last paperback, coverup, bikini, [...]
- Latico Eelskin Envelope Flap Clutch | Colorful Bag in Unique Material - 2009-06-02 16:29:49-04
Like the Latico Eelskin Wallet, this envelope flap clutch is made from exotic eelskin leather. It's a material you don't see used very often, but it usually has a dramatic effect when it is.
Well, dramatic is word that describes this Latico envelope clutch. With its bright and colorful stripes, this handbag makes quite a statement. Even [...]
- Gustto Tarsia Suede Hobo | Supersoft Slouchy Tote with Floral Design - 2009-06-02 20:03:06-04

This Gustto hobo is exactly the thing to fit your every handbag [...]
- VBH Ballerina Bag | Michelle Obama's Clutch In Black Python - 2009-06-02 22:00:32-04

If you'd like to take a cue from Mrs. Obama and wear this clutch out on a date with your sweetie, you could [...]
- Chat Live with Handbag Designer Monica Botkier at BagSnob.com - 2009-06-03 00:43:24-04
I happen to be a huge fan of Botkier bags. In my opinion, the brand gets it right with their designs nearly 100% of the time.
The styles are always interesting, unique, and a little edgy. I'm not the only one liking what I see, though. Celebrities fans include the likes of Vanessa Hudgens, Megan Fox, Jessica Alba, [...]
- Michael Kors Montauk Grab Bag | Large Leather Shoulder Handbag with Striped Handles - 2009-06-03 02:05:28-04
The Montauk combines the elegance you expect from Michael Kors with just a dash of whimsy.
The body is classic and simple, with clean lines and smooth neutral toned leather. The reinforced corners are more practical than pretty, but that's just fine. In fact, the body's only embellishment is the silver-toned nameplate shining brightly. It really [...]
- Jimmy Choo Designs Graphic Clutch for Sir Elton John AIDS Foundation - 2009-06-03 03:05:00-04
Jimmy Choo is famous for sexy stiletto heels and red-carpet ready purses, but the designer is now dressing down for charity. The fashion house has created some cute casual shoes and handbags to raise funds for the Sir Elton John AIDS Foundation.
These limited edition items are part of Project PEP, an initiative to help support [...]
- O'Neill Solar Powerful Tote | Affordable Eco-Friendly Organic Cotton Casual Bag - 2009-06-03 04:05:34-04
O'Neill provides an antidote to those overpriced eco-accessories with its Solar Powerful Tote. This affordable handbag may not have the pedigree of high-end designer lines, but it's just as green.
The Solar Powerful tote is made from organic cotton, a much more environmentally-friendly choice than conventional cotton. This all-natural fabric is embellished with a summery sun [...]
- Gucci Pelham Medium Shoulder Bag | Equestrian Inspired Designer Handbag - 2009-06-03 21:35:09-04
Even if you're not a fan of horseback riding and, like me, have no idea how a pelham bit works, you'll most likely still appreciate this equestrian-style Gucci handbag inspired by the riding equipment.
I'm not usually a fan of Gucci's slightly preppy, logo-printed collections. However there's something about this one that I kind of like. The inverted double-g symbol [...]
- Anya Hindmarch Meat And Poultry Tote | Quirky Hand Drawn Graphic Canvas Carryall - 2009-06-03 22:17:11-04
I have spent the past few days shopping for the perfect summer tote. Not that I don't have five million beachbags, they're spilling out of my closet by the bucketload. But I'm still always looking for one great bag that is comfortable, casual, and quirky enough to take me through my average day and onto [...]
- La Regale Small Handbag | Circle Detail Linen Purse - 2009-06-03 22:21:25-04
With a cute shape and a classic color, the La Regale Small Handbag is a nice bag to have in your closet for a night out.
In a linen that looks a bit like silk-satin, this would also be an excellent choice for prom-goers or younger girls going to dances or formal occasions. It's affordable enough [...]

The rumors of astronauts in a Louis Vuitton ad have come true. Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell, and Sally Ride are all featured in the newest ad for the brand.
Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz recently shot the campaign amidst the backdrop of the warm Californian desert. The three space travelers posed with an old pick-up truck and, of [...]

- Gucci's Frida Giannini Names International Designer of the Year - 2009-06-04 03:05:01-04
Gucci designer Frida Giannini has been named International Designer of the Year by Japan's Fashion Editor's Club.
Frida's win is particularly notable as it's the first time the prestigious title has been bestowed upon a woman. Katsuto Tai, director of the Fashion Editor's Club, said Ms Giannini was honored for her ability to anticipate trends and [...]
- Rebecca Minkoff Fling Clutch | Sexy Black Patent Leather Purse - 2009-06-04 04:05:16-04
A fling is brief romance, an illicit relationship that's incredibly hot, sexy, and over almost before it begins. But your love affair with Rebecca Minkoff's Fling is likely to last a whole lot longer.
The purse with the naughty name manages to combine timeless style with sex appeal. The finish is glossy black patent leather, the [...]

Anya Hindmarch isn't letting an unfortunate strain of burglaries get her spirits down. In fact, the handbag designer must be on cloud nine right now after a recent meeting with the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
Hindmarch attended a reception at the palace this past Tuesday, June 2, to be awarded a Member of the Order of [...]
- Jimmy Choo Martha Pony Skin Clutch | Fabulous Chic Greyscale Leopard Print Clutch - 2009-06-04 16:50:27-04
There was a time in my life when I would have sold my soul (or at least my car) for a closet full of Jimmy Choos. I'm a little older now, a little wiser, and, sadly a little bit over Jimmy Choo. I don't know whether I changed or he did, but our tastes just [...]
- Jessica Simpson Woodstock Cross-Body | Synthetic Leather Bag with Hippie Style - 2009-06-04 22:22:17-04
This handbag by Jessica Simpson is practically oozing with casual, bohemian style. Though I'm sure it's not intended to inspire hippie-like behavior, it certainly puts me in a laid-back mood.
A fringed bag is nothing new to fashion, but it doesn't always give out a boho-chic vibe. Sometimes the effect is more Pomeranian than free-spirited, like on [...]
- Roxy Fiddle Li Dee Backpack | Affordable Plaid Surf School Bag - 2009-06-05 02:05:50-04
Roxy heads out of the surf and into the school yard with this Fiddle Li Dee backpack. The bag features the colorful and contemporary prints we expect from the label in an entirely practical package.
The vibrant plaid pattern is printed on 100% polyester, a hard wearing fabric that will stack up to being the punishment [...]
- Christian Louboutin's Still Life Art Fall/Winter Advertisement - 2009-06-05 03:05:48-04
Christian Louboutin has ditched the models for his artistic Fall/Winter 2009/2010 advertising campaign.
This gorgeous shot, featuring a stunning ruffled stiletto and the gorgeously girly Mount Street clutch, is just one of nine beautiful advertisements in the campaign. I love the way the accessories look amongst those scarlet autumn leaves, and the sweet bird adds vibrancy [...]
- Stella McCartney Adidas Golf Bag | Casual Cotton Sports Accessory Handbag - 2009-06-05 04:05:05-04
What do you get when one of the world's most creative fashion minds comes together with a premium sports brand? Something like this chic Stella McCartney Adidas golf bag!
It might have a designer pedigree to conjure with, but this golf bag doesn't like to boast. It lets the casual style do the talking instead, which [...]
- Jimmy Choo Patent And Suede Shoulder Bag | Sophisticated Grey Handbag With Chic Feminine Details - 2009-06-05 18:37:41-04
Jimmy Choo's recent accessories have been a little off balance for me, lately. I love it when he sticks to uptown modern designs, but don't like his watered down take on bohemian chic. Luckily, this lovely handbag falls into the former category, and I love the look of it.
Firstly, I really dig the shiny grey [...]
- Matt & Nat Ito Clutch Bag | Contemporary Handbag in Vegan-Friendly Material - 2009-06-06 00:01:56-04
It's no secret that I like Matt & Nat handbags. I'm not a vegan, and I indulge in my fair share of leather purses that aren't animal-conscious. However, I do still appreciate this brand's fashion statements as well as their positive message.
This stylish Ito clutch is easily recognizable as a Matt & Nat bag due to the [...]

- Treesje Sophia Hobo Bag | Luxury Leather Handbag with Braided Accents - 2009-06-06 02:05:26-04
Treesje has given the hobo a contemporary country makeover with the Sophia.
The buttery soft leather is embellished with braided accents, perfect for all those urban cowgirls. Western embellishments can often come across as kitsch, but that's not the case here. By using complementary leather and keeping the details to a minimum, Treesje creates a design [...]
- Coach Sues Brown Shoe for Replica Ergo Pleated Purse - 2009-06-06 03:05:43-04
Coach is taking a stand against those replica handbags, filing a lawsuit against Brown Shoe Co. Inc.
The luxury label says the brand sells a purse that is "virtually an exact copy" of the Coach Ergo Pleated handbag. The designer imitation is available through Brown Shoe's Naturalizer store chain. Coach is seeking an injunction, damages for [...]
- Anya Hindmarch Pleated Patent Clutch | Sleek Electric Blue Patent Purse - 2009-06-06 14:00:41-04
Spring sometimes brings a subdued palette to fashion, but not this season. Everywhere I look it's neon and ultra brights up against rich, toasty neutrals, and nary a pastel to be seen.
Which makes this pleated patent clutch by Anya Hindmarch very of the moment in the best way possible. The shocking blue hue is bright [...]
- Rafe Amanda Shoulder Bag | Woven Leather Sachel with Canvas Detail - 2009-06-06 21:40:21-04
Woven leather handbags seem to be a hot commodity right now. I suppose it's somewhat to be expected now considering the season, but there do seem to be quite a few out on the market right now.
Some brands have entire collections based on a specific weave style, like the Genevieve style from Cole Haan. This [...]
- Hermes Faces Difficulty in Luxury Recession | Label Postpones New Store Openings - 2009-06-06 22:08:56-04
Even with Victoria Beckham's ridiculous, over-the-top spending on her Birkin bag collection, Hermes is still dealing with financial woes. It's a common story these days with fashion labels as people are cutting out luxury purchases.
Though Hermes recently opened a new boutique in the East Hamptons, the company has had to postpone the scheduled openings of [...]
- ASOS Metal Cutwork Clutch | Shiny Silver Hard Frame Cutout Bag - 2009-06-07 01:30:25-04
With a heavy glance towards the Yves Saint Laurent Cage Clutch, I'm ready to declare the cage bag a bonafide trend. And, ever the masters of trend, ASOS have jumped on the bandwagon with their Metal Cutwork Clutch at right.
I really like the design of this piece, perhaps even better than that of the YSL, [...]
- VBH Glitter Clutch | Chic Minimalist Envelope Evening Purse - 2009-06-07 02:05:11-04
Ever since Michelle Obama carried a Ballerina Bag to the ballet, fashionistas everywhere have been buzzing about VBH. If you can't spare the $1900 Ms Obama's purse cost, perhaps this more affordable Glitter Clutch will be up your alley.
It is more affordable, but this purse still isn't cheap. It retails at $850, which seems a [...]
- Women Hoard More Than Essentials Inside Their Handbags - 2009-06-07 02:05:57-04
What goodies do you have in your handbag? And which items are you willing to 'fess up to?
While most of us carry around a cell phone, wallet, lipstick, tissues, keys, and cards, research suggests most of us are weighed down with much more. The study suggested women carry as many as 63 different objects, including [...]
- LeSportsac Classic Hobo | Lightweight Nylon Handbag in Floral Print - 2009-06-07 15:08:19-04
LeSportsac's take on the classic hobo is probably a little different than what most people would expect for the style. While some might picture something like the black leather Isaac Mizrahi Hobo, this sporty version is both unexpected and fun.
While the Classic Hobo is available in just about every print you can imagine, including some [...]
- Rumors of Lagerfeld Leaving Chanel Denied | Lanvin's Alber Elbaz Denies Replacement Talk - 2009-06-07 16:08:47-04
Though rumors of fashion great Karl Lagerfeld leaving his post at Chanel have just barely surfaced, the design house has already emphatically denied the claim.
The suspicion began buzzing when Lagerfeld supposedly failed to renew his contract with the company. It was also rumored that Lanvin's creative director Alber Elbaz would replace the current king of [...]
- Stella McCartney Gem Embellished Clutch | Pastel Rhinestone Daisy Encrusted Evening Bag - 2009-06-07 20:53:42-04
Stella McCartney is known for creating cool downtown styles for cool downtown girls. Nothing fussy or overwrought, just streamlined designs that can be worn regardless of trends. That's what she's known for, but this particular bag is not exactly screaming "cool" or "downtown".
This bag isn't screaming at all. In fact, it might actually be yawning, [...]
- Bulgari Retro Silk Clutch | Bold Black and White Evening Purse - 2009-06-08 02:05:43-04
Bulgari serves up a slice of pop art with this cute retro clutch.
The luxurious black Italian silk finish features a bold geometric print with white and yellow boxes. The Bulgari logo sits inside each square, a detail which looks a little cluttered to me but is bound to please fans of the brand. The design [...]

- Charles L Thomas Kathy Handbag | Nappa Leather Purse with Belted Accents - 2009-06-08 04:05:21-04
Charles L Thomas combines contemporary details with vintage touches to create the Kathy. Designers need to take such risks to craft something original, but I think the label may have missed the mark here.
Rather than appearing revolutionary, the Kathy just looks a little confused. Belted accents typically add edge, but with so many here I [...]
