- Proenza Schouler PS1 Large Crocodile Satchel | Exotic Skinned Messenger Bag For Uptown Girls - 2009-06-15 16:00:58-04
Proenza Schouler's much anticipated handbag line has taken a somewhat spartan approach to design. I don't just mean the design itself, which is, indeed, done with a light touch and an eye towards use value. But, I also mean that they have smartly decided to stick with only a few basic shapes and sizes, so [...]
- ASOS Mock Croc Vanity Case | Red Leather Travel Cosmetics Bag - 2009-06-15 20:17:34-04
This ASOS Mock Croc Vanity Case immediately recalled a red hard-case luggage set of my mother's that I cruelly abused on trips to camp and grandma's before I ever realized the vintage appeal of it's retro lines cream faux-silk lining. There was a large red square suitcase and - the piece de resistance - a [...]
- Goldenbleu Tyler Clutch | Striped Patent Purse with Seventies Vibe - 2009-06-15 20:20:32-04
If you are a fan of Goldenbleu's striped handbags, such as the delightful miniature Andy purse, then their Tyler clutch will be just the thing to further your collection.

- B. Makowsky Damascus Cross-Body | Soft Pleated Leather Handbag - 2009-06-15 21:37:29-04
If you're looking for a cross-body bag that's a little more sophisticated, this B. Makowsky Damascus is a great option to consider. For a slightly funky and completely casual look, the Dandelion Flap or Jessica Simpson Woodstock will fit the bill. However, the Damascus is for gals who want a more elegant style for the convenient [...]
- Michael Kors and Heidi Klum Participate in Breast Cancer Research Campaign - 2009-06-15 22:09:33-04
Michael Kors is now as well-known for his face and repetitive clothing choices as his sophisticated designs, thanks to his participation in the popular Project Runway series. With model Heidi Klum at his side, the fashionable duo is taking their teamwork to more rewarding heights.
Kors and Klum are working together for this year's Saks Fifth Avenue [...]
- Inge Christopher Palm Springs Handbag | Summery Satin Purse with Rhinestone Covered Ring Handle - 2009-06-16 02:05:48-04
With a name like the Palm Springs, it should come as no surprise that this Inge Christopher bag is one hot little number.

- Joe's Jeans Hannah Tote | Stylish Timeless Luxury Leather Handbag - 2009-06-16 04:05:12-04
Joe's Jeans has really impressed me lately with their consistently cool handbags. The Allanah's my ideal cross-body bag, the Round N Round is the cutest doctor's satchel, and now I think they've made my tote of choice. Meet the Hannah.
The Hannah manages to strike the balance between contemporary styling and timeless good looks. The lush [...]

Sometimes we fancy a little luxury. On days such as this, Fontanelli handmade luxury handbags are just the thing - decadent, detailed and more than a little bit sumptuous.
This particular handbag would be perfect for dark and beautiful evenings out, although be careful not to combine it with dresses or outfits that are too busy. [...]

- Purse Blog and Luxaholics Co-Host Week of Adriana Castro Handbag Giveaways | Win an Exotic Leather Bag - 2009-06-16 22:37:36-04
Adriana Castro isn't a handbag designer I'm particularly familiar with, but the Purse Blog and Luxaholics are making quite an effort to put her in the spotlight.
For five days in a row, the two websites have teamed up to give away some of Castro's exotic bag designs. Monday's prize was a crocodile cosmetic case, and [...]
- Kathy Van Zeeland Basic Instinct Wallet | Leather Purse with Mock Croc Detail - 2009-06-17 02:05:27-04
Not even the humble wallet is safe from Kathy Van Zeeland's signature style. This Basic Instinct wallet is loud and proud, just what KVZ fans want in an accessory!
The showstopper is the circular nameplate which proudly trumpets the Kathy Van Zeeland name. The distinctive crown and heart details make the logo seem a little over [...]
- Dolce & Gabbana Discount Fashions for Financial Crisis - 2009-06-17 03:05:07-04
Here's some good news for Dolce & Gabbana enthusiasts. While the financial crisis sees most of us tightening our belts, the design duo's famous lines will now be more affordable. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are lowering the prices of their main and D&G collections from 10 to 20 percent.

- La Regale Soft Covered Frame Peau Clutch | Soft Feminine Basic Evening Bag - 2009-06-17 04:05:35-04
La Regale plays it safe with the Soft Covered Frame Peau Clutch. It's up to you whether that's a blessing, or a curse.
If this purse was in your circle of friends, she'd be the quiet one, who always says the right thing and never makes waves. You can certainly depend on her, but if you're [...]
- 3.1 Phillip Lim Mya Hobo | Practical and Earthy Leather And Suede Designer Hobo - 2009-06-17 14:19:24-04
Philip Lim is known for his very unique chic form of minimalism. Almost nothing of his is ever overthought, overdesigned, or gaudy. I say "almost nothing" only because every designer occasionally steps away from their trademark style, but the Mya hobo fits right in to Lim's usual aesthetic.
I love the shape of this hobo. The [...]
- Sun N' Sand Cascade Shopper | Spacious Oversized Tote - 2009-06-17 16:42:26-04
The time has come to pimp up your shopping bag. Old plastic or paper bags simply aren't ecologically sound, as well as having the ability to make any outfit look worse than it is! The problem is that in this scary and recession damaged economical environment, the last thing we want to do is shell [...]
- Cole Haan Geni Shoulder Satchel | Jacquard and Leather Mini Handbag - 2009-06-17 22:13:51-04
The first word that popped into my mind when I saw this Cole Haan Geni bag was "generic". I can't honestly say that my opinion has changed much after looking at it for awhile, but simple doesn't necessarily equal boring in this instance.
There's no doubt that the design is simplistic and understated. The espresso brown color certainly [...]
- Kate Moss Strikes a Pose in Longchamp Fall/Winter Ad | Models New Gatsby Handbag - 2009-06-17 22:53:37-04
Kate Moss is now newcomer to Longchamp ad campaigns. Previously starring with Sasha Pivovarova in the spring/summer "Bobbsey twins" ads, the supermodel is back at it again for the label's upcoming fall and winter fashion.
In the newest ads, Moss, Canadian model Daria Werbowy, and a few naval-bedecked male models show off the new Longchamp Gatsby [...]
- Lambertson Truex Elsie Clutch | Dramatic Red Satin Evening Purse - 2009-06-18 02:05:41-04
Make a statement in red with this ravishing Elsie clutch from Lambertson Truex.
The designer lets the crimson color do the talking, keeping everything else simple for maximum impact. The head-turning oval shape isn't ideal for tucking under your arm, but it'll easily fit in the palm of your hand. Or you could pop out the [...]

- Maxx New York Majestic Hobo Handbag | Durable Patent Look Quilted Purse - 2009-06-18 04:05:10-04
It comes with a royal name which it never quite lives up to, but Maxx New York's Majestic hobo is still worth a second look.
While a truly majestic purse might be made from an exotic crocodile skin, or at the very least a lush calf leather, the Maxx New York version is instead crafted from [...]
- Fendi Luxury Two-tone Tan Handbag | With Oversized Contrasting Patent Buckles - 2009-06-18 16:20:58-04
This is a very cute novelty handbag from stunning handbag designer, Fendi. Known this season for their bondage-style patent heels, this theme has continued into the two huge shiny buckles mounted on this gentle tan purse.
The purse itself is in a traditional tan satchel design. Trimmed in black patent piping, the curved lines and designer structure [...]
- Jessica Simpson Decade Hobo | Floral Fabric Handbag with Leather-Like Trim - 2009-06-18 20:34:58-04
This Jessica Simpson Decade hobo is fun and flirty summer fashion at its best for the brand. I don't know about you, but it just makes we want to throw on some flip-flops and head out to catch some rays.
The brown trim might not be real leather, but its wrapped design is picture perfect for [...]
- Rolling Stones Guitarist Ronnie Wood to Design Fashion Line | Clutches and Travel Bags Included - 2009-06-18 21:10:29-04
Following in the footsteps of many other musicians and actors, Ronnie Wood is starting his own fashion line. The Rolling Stones guitarist is joining Liberty of London for a collection of accessories and clothing.

- Nahui Ollin Itsy Bitsy Wristlet | Cute Woven Recycled Purse - 2009-06-19 02:05:37-04
Nahui Ollin is bucking the trend for oversized bags with their adorable wristlets, which just keep getting smaller! If the regular wristlet was weighing you down, the Itsy Bitsy might be just what you need.
While the standard wristlet is a small 7 x 1 x 5 inches, the Itsy Bitsy lives up to its name, [...]
- Matt & Nat Give Away Free Handbags at Annual Bag Throwing Event - 2009-06-19 03:05:23-04
Matt & Nat's stylish vegan handbags are enough to whip women into a frenzy. Just watch this video if you don't believe me!
This footage was captured at the brand's annual Bag Throwing, a brilliant and altruistic publicity stunt to celebrate their yearly sample sale. Matt & Nat designer Inder Bedi dropped plenty of purses down [...]
- Rafe Continental Flap Wallet | Chic Perforated Patent Leather Purse - 2009-06-19 04:05:20-04
As the financial crisis forces us all to tighten our belts, lesser known labels like Rafe are becoming hot commodities. I wouldn't exactly call the fashion house cheap and cheerful, but their stylish accessories won't break the bank either.
The wonderful thing about Rafe is that their lower prices don't come with compromises. The distinctive glossy [...]
- Mad By Design Coddled Pearl Clutch | Retro Styled Affordable Pearl Evening Bag - 2009-06-19 14:41:22-04
At first glance, this artistic bag looks designer. However, at only $20 a pop, this couldn't be further from the truth!
From its bakerlite-esque vintage style square handle to the structured pearl mosaic exterior, this little evening bag really does pull all the punches. It is a true eye-catcher, bold and beautiful. A delicate clutch such as [...]
- Calvin Klein Pocket Satchel | Sporty Polyester Handbag in Painterly Print - 2009-06-19 16:14:50-04
Painterly prints are all the rage this season. I, for one, am loving the look, which comes in many shapes and sizes including the fashionable Hayden-Harnett Pamela Dowell.
This Calvin Klein version of the trend is much sportier than the Pamela Dowell Ladybag but no less stylish, to be sure. It's hard to believe that seemingly [...]
- Mulberry Sees Rise in Sales for Summer | Label Attributes Increase to Budget-Friendly Mitzy Bag - 2009-06-20 00:01:26-04
While tons of luxury brands are continuing to see drops in sales and having to make cutbacks in production, other labels are making attempts to stay afloat during the current fashion financial pickle. Some are even seeing the fruits of their labor with a rise in sales despite shoppers tightening their belts.
Mulberry is one of [...]
- Santi Floral Framed Clutch | Beautiful Watercolor Flower Purse - 2009-06-20 02:05:36-04
We tend to see so many clutches in bold basic colors like black, navy, red, or metallics. If you're looking for one that will stand out from the pack, feast your eyes on this floral framed clutch from Santi.
The bold tones are traded in for soft watercolor hues. The pretty pastels create abstract floral prints [...]
- Coach Head Reed Krakoff Prepares to Launch Own Brand - 2009-06-20 03:05:36-04
Reed Krakoff is hardly a household name, but the Coach president and creative director may be about to step into the spotlight. Fashion Week Daily reports that Coach will develop a new brand around Mr. Krakoff.
The details are a little fuzzy at this point, but we know the names "Reed," "Reed Krakoff," and "RK" have [...]
- Timmy Woods "Charming" Clutch | Unique Beaded Wooden Purse - 2009-06-20 15:07:38-04
Timmy Woods hits handbag gold again, with this artistically crafted wooden clutch.
Spot on for the tribal trend cited by Vogue as one of this season's hottest looks, this solid wooden clutch features a delicate beaded charm on the highly polished front. The charm features a rose and gray-toned center section, with tassels of beads hanging down. [...]
- Latico P.S. Rainbow Shoulder Bag | Multi-Colored Accordion Pleated Leather Purse - 2009-06-20 21:07:09-04
The last Latico handbag I reviewed, the Eelskin Envelope Clutch, had some seriously bright colors. However, this Latico Rainbow Shoulder Bag takes the cake when it comes to multi-colored.
With tight accordion-style pleats, the Rainbow handbag has a very unique style that I certainly don't see very often. The amount of colors included is overwhelming, to [...]
- Oscar de la Renta's Son Moises to Debut Collection this Fall | New Handbags Set to Impress - 2009-06-20 21:50:23-04
Moises de la Renta might not be a name you recognize but the surname is surely familiar. This twenty-something son of Oscar de la Renta is forging a name for himself in the fashion industry.
Though he's spent past days working as an assistant designer for his dad's company, he's now breaking away a bit by designing [...]
- German Grandma Cycles to Catch Bag Thief - 2009-06-21 03:05:10-04
An 80-year-old German woman probably looked like an easy target to a 41-year-old bag thief, who snatched the purse from her bicycle basket. But he didn't count on the grandma's pedal power!
The elderly woman gave chase, pedaling hard in pursuit of the purse pinching cyclist. She may not have outcycled the thieving man, but she [...]
- Sondra Roberts Los Cabos Clutch | Contemporary Turn-Lock Leather Purse - 2009-06-21 04:41:27-04
The Los Cabos from Sondra Roberts is for girls who favor bold modern looks rather than feminine vintage styles.
This purse is bold, but definitely not brassy. Hardware is kept to a minimum, with the textured leather drawing all the compliments. This turquoise blue clutch screams the loudest, placing it squarely in line with the current [...]
- Lovcat Golden Plate Wallet | Subtle Handbag Style Purse - 2009-06-21 19:01:02-04
I do love a good wallet. It is no good to have a beautiful handbag, and pull out of it a tattered, tired looking specimen holding your cash. It completely spoils the effect! To prevent moments like this happening, I suggest a top-end ladies wallet like this functional gray wallet from designer Lovcat.
Of course with [...]
- Kathy Van Zeeland Stripe Five Tote | Bold Striped Patent Synthetic Handbag - 2009-06-21 22:31:05-04
Sometimes I have to wonder if Kathy Van Zeeland can ever produce a handbag that's not at least slightly over-the-top. I suppose there are a few exceptions, like the High Five purse; however, this designer's signature look is definitely more saucy than simple on most days of the week.
The Stripe Five Tote is a perfect [...]
- Winners Announced for 2009 Independent Handbag Designer Awards - 2009-06-21 23:11:03-04
Well, it's not quite the CFDA Fashion Awards with such big names as Louis Vuitton and Alexander Wang. However, the Independent Handbag Designer Awards is an honor (not to mention free advertising) to all of the hard-working finalists involved.
I was more than impressed after perusing the finalist page on HandbagDesigner101.com to vote on some of the categories. Well, [...]
- The SAK San Antonio Shopper Bag | Chic Country Inspired Leather Handbag - 2009-06-22 02:05:22-04
We've all seen those country and western inspired purses that are so overworked they look like they've come straight from the rodeo. The SAK keeps it chic with the San Antonio, a shopper that knows when enough is enough.
The long tassels and eye-catching embroidery on the handles and side accents give the purse that western [...]
- Germ Laden Handbags | Is Your Purse Making You Sick? - 2009-06-22 03:05:15-04
We diligently wash our hands before meals and after using the bathroom and we keep antibacterial gel with us for those in-between times. But for all our hard work few of us stop to think about the hygiene of another constant companion, our handbag.
CBS conducted a study on the germs lurking on the surface of [...]
- Travelon Cosmetic and Jewelry Clutch | Practical Fabric Travel Purse - 2009-06-22 04:05:00-04
Travelon put function first with this cosmetic and jewelry clutch.
The lime green, red, light blue, and basic black colors are cute enough, but this isn't the purse you buy for its looks. Instead, it's the type of accessory you'd stash away inside your Alexander McQueen luggage. You probably wouldn't take it out to show friends, [...]
