- What's the Obsession with Dogs in Handbags? - 2009-06-22 14:03:19-04
Lipstick? ... Check. Cell phone? ... Check. Chihuahua? ... ummm Check!
Did you ever think that one day we would be considering our pets a fashion accessory? Turns out that it has become normal in some circles to take your dog for a walk and the animal does no walking at all.
You don't have to [...]
- Betsey Johnson Star Lite Tote | Betseyville Line Handbag in Quilted Star Fabric - 2009-06-22 16:06:27-04
Yet another cute, kitsch and spacious handbag from funky designer line, Betseyville. Betsey Johnson uses her great sense of fun and enthusiasm to create the youthful and lighthearted purses in her eponymous fashion line.
Available in grey, duck-egg blue or white quilting, this tote is made into something a little special thanks to the cute star shaped quilting. In its large [...]
- Roxy Layer Cake Satchel | Oversized Synthetic Handbag with Floral Print - 2009-06-22 20:54:26-04
There's something about this Roxy Layer Cake satchel that calls to mind The SAK Dandelion Flap, although the two bags are unique their own styles. The graphic prints on both, however, seem to have been hand-painted or drawn straight onto the exterior, which is a specific look but definitely an appealing one.
I'm attracted to the [...]
- Get a Bottega Veneta Luggage Set for Over $150K | Expensive Six-Piece Alligator Skin Set Wows - 2009-06-22 23:28:21-04
Got an extra $157,000 lying around? I'm guessing that the answer is a definite no for most people, yet so many luxury labels keep offering up ridiculously expensive products for shoppers regardless of the knowledge that the industry is struggling.
Well, at least Mulberry has gotten the idea of producing a moderately-priced handbag for budget-conscious gals. However, Bottega Veneta seems [...]
- Treesje Hudson Hobo Bag | Chic Pleated Leather Purse - 2009-06-23 02:05:22-04
Treesje give the hobo bag a sleek makeover with the Hudson.
In fact, it's hard to recognize the Hudson as a hobo at all. The traditional crescent shape is replaced by a boxier silhouette. The slouch we expect is missing, and so is the boho vibe. Instead the exterior is structured, with sophisticated diagonal pleats. I [...]
- Judith Leiber Handbags on Show at Louisiana Art & Science Museum - 2009-06-23 03:05:45-04

The sparkling pieces, including minaudieres in the shape of elephants, fish, cats, [...]
- Bulgari Rita Shoulder Bag | Adorable Retro Powder Blue Leather Purse - 2009-06-23 04:05:56-04
Bulgari channels 1960s style with this adorable Rita shoulder bag. It's exactly the kind of purse I can imagine swinging from the shoulder of a style icon like Jackie Onassis or Brigitte Bardot.
The crescent shape reminds me a little of a hobo bag, but it's much more structured and chic here. The curves of the [...]
- Steve Madden Ivy Wristlet | Snake Skin Purse with Zip Features - 2009-06-23 18:11:12-04
I do love Steve Madden. His footwear is iconic, and it is delightful to see that talent transfer directly over into the world of handbags.
This delicate little clutch is a particularly nice example. Available in four shades to match all styles, this pleated snakeskin handbag is delightfully subtle, whilst still boasting big features and trend-loving additions. [...]
- La Regale 24704 Navy Clutch | Simple and Pretty Pleated Evening Bag - 2009-06-23 18:55:32-04
One of the great things about the color navy is that it can go one of two ways in an outfit. You can pair it with unexpected colors for a modern look or keep things basic and opt for classic chic.
That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw this navy La Regale clutch handbag. [...]
- Charles L Thomas Melanie Handbag | Casual Women's Buckskin Purse - 2009-06-24 02:05:41-04
Charles L Thomas has created a cute, casual handbag in the Melanie.
In the past we've looked at the designer's smooth patent leather purses like the Cynthia Bowler and Sandy Shoulder Bag. Here though Charles L Thomas employs soft buckskin to create a relaxed, slouchy look. This lush fabric is complemented by contrasting Italian leather accents. [...]

- Fontanelli Striking Handbag | Asymmetrical Black Italian Leather Purse - 2009-06-24 04:05:51-04
Some handbags are much more than mere fashion accessories; they're works of art. The gem-encrusted minaudieres of Judith Leiber instantly spring to mind, but if you favor affordable prices and functionality this Fontanelli purse may be more your speed.
Don't get me wrong; this Fontanelli purse is no bargain basement bag. But its $370 price tag [...]
- Rihanna Rocks Proenza Schouler PS1 Handbag for Recent Court Appearance - 2009-06-24 09:27:46-04
It might have been a somewhat somber event, but Rihanna wasn't going to let that stop her from looking fabulous and chic. The singer showed up to a court hearing regarding the Chris Brown case on Monday in head-to-toe designer duds.
Besides styling a classic little black dress, Rihanna also showcased vintage Van Cleef & Arpels and [...]
- Jessica Simpson Oasis Satchel | Bright Orange Butterfly Handbag - 2009-06-24 13:00:47-04
I'm not really a butterfly person. I know there are people who are slightly obsessed with the graceful insect, but I don't usually include myself in that group. It's definitely not something I would think to put on a handbag, but if anyone would do it it's Jessica Simpson.
For some reason, this bright orange nylon background [...]
- La Regale Beaded Floral Purse | Decorative Rhinestone Multi-Colored Clutch - 2009-06-24 14:13:13-04
Here we have the perfect bag for those of us who are still feeling the summer vibe. The shops may be seeing in the midyear sales, but at least clutches like this can help us keep that sunny floral vibe going into the winter months.
In a selection of vibrant jeweled colors, the floral pattern on [...]
- Coach Launches Poppy Collection | Colorful Printed Embellished Handbags - 2009-06-24 22:01:52-04

The brand, which has focused on traditional advertising in the past, is planning a new media blitz with [...]
- Mad Imports Opal Multi Bag | Colorful Handwoven Raffia Clutch - 2009-06-24 22:16:42-04
A handbag that's unique without being too out there, this Mad Imports Opal handbag is sure to be a conversation starter. The bag comes in a sea of colors from punch (purple) to ocean (teal) but also is available in neutrals like natural and espresso.
But I think it's this multi-colored version that best sets off [...]
- Gustto Cokera Shoulder Bag | Leather Pleated Luxury Purse with Chain Detail - 2009-06-25 02:05:55-04
Gustto has created a contemporary style statement with this Cokera shoulder bag.
The lush leather is gathered together in front to form a modern bow. The pleats it creates give the Cokera a rich texture, adding volume effortlessly. This gathered detail is overlaid with a chunky chain, which obviously takes its style cues from the pricier [...]
- Supermodel Christy Turlington Stars in Bally Fall Fashion Advertisement - 2009-06-25 03:05:50-04
Looking a vision in violet, Christy Turlington stars in Bally's fall 2009 commercial. The supermodel has been the fashion label's muse for several campaigns, and it seems its love for her hasn't waned.
"Christy is simply the perfect Bally woman; graceful, intelligent, and natural; she exudes a sophisticated ease; her sensual beauty is perfectly complemented by [...]
- Jil Sander Drawstring Purse | Black Leather Pleated Bag - 2009-06-25 04:05:39-04
Jil Sander has dressed up the drawstring bag with this cute purse.
While so many drawstring handbags are relaxed affairs, the black leather finish of this one makes it a more versatile choice. You probably wouldn't take it to your next picnic, but you could easily bring it to the office, and then to happy hour [...]
- Roxy Over the Rainbow Satchel | Patent Yellow Synthetic Leather Bag - 2009-06-25 13:00:27-04
There's a special place in my heart for bright yellow handbags. Something about the way they brighten up a wardrobe but somehow go with almost anything just makes me smile. It's the perfect way to add a little pop to what you're wearing.
This Roxy Over the Rainbow satchel isn't the brightest of yellows, but I [...]
- Whiting & Davis Bubble Mesh Crystal Clutch | Decadent Evening Bag in Luxury Materials - 2009-06-25 14:04:14-04
Whiting & Davis have a special place in my heart. Their vintage inspired styles are so beautifully reminiscent of Victorian styles, jazzed up with contemporary touches. They are perhaps not the most well-known of vintage-type designers, but I think this duo should be near the top of any list.
This particular bag utilises the brands expertise in metal [...]
- Lovcat Mystique Clutch | Art Deco Design Purse - 2009-06-26 02:05:44-04
Add a little art deco style to your outfit with this Mystique clutch from Lovcat.
The geometric design contrasts coral pink patent with speckled silver metallic leather. The combination is feminine without being frothy. Yet if like so many girls you can't stand to wear pink, it's also available in a black and silver color combo.
The [...]

The Center for Environmental Health has filed a lawsuit against 16 top retailers, including H&M, Kohl's, Macy's, and Target. The non-profit group claims the stores sell purses and wallets containing unsafe levels of lead.
Most of the handbags in questions are crafted from vinyl and faux leather fabrics. They come from brands like Forever 21, Dana [...]
- Mad By Design Handwoven Bamboo Tote Bag | Eco-Friendly Ebony Black Handbag - 2009-06-26 04:05:05-04
It's tough to find a handbag that's stylish, affordable, and eco-friendly. But let me introduce you to this handwoven bamboo tote from Mad by Design, a purse that ticks all the boxes.
Black and natural toned bamboo is woven together to create this eye-catching purse. Thinking about it, I'm not sure why more bags don't utilize [...]
- The SAK Tolowa Shopper | Printed Canvas Handbag with Crochet Detail - 2009-06-26 13:00:47-04
If you're feeling in the mood for some free-spirited fashion, you'll love this Tolowa Shopper from The SAK. With a quirky mix of prints and a variety of details, this handbag is about as boho-chic as they get.
Just like the Dandelion Flap, the Tolowa includes a specially-made print by artist Gilles Jourdan on the front [...]
- Cate Adair Quilted Clutch | Sexy and Unusual Padded Croco Clutch - 2009-06-26 14:07:30-04
Desperate Housewives costume designer, Cate Adair, has come up with a great and unusual funky clutch. This uniquely shaped purse is just the thing for swishing around at designer events and looking hugely fashionable!
I particularly wanted to bring your attention to the rather attention-seeking shape. Slightly nautical in design, it features elegant pointed corners and [...]
- Mad Imports Bora Bora Tote | Striking Raffia Coil Handbag - 2009-06-27 02:05:18-04
Mad Imports has put a twist on the traditional tote with the Bora Bora.
Gone is the traditional box shape, replaced by head-turning coils of raffia. A spiral makes up each side of the tote, and even the base! The totes are available in sedate neutral and brown shades, but the vibrant tones have a much [...]
- Azumi & David Release Shoe Handbag Hybrid | The Loop Handle Heel Bag is Every Girl's Dream - 2009-06-27 03:05:14-04
Azumi & David have combined every girl's favorite fashion fetishes into one cute accessory with The Loop Handle Heel Bag.
The purse's lower half resembles a sexy stiletto, with its heeled base. Yet up top it's all handbag, with a gorgeous cowhide leather finish and distinctive flap design. I love the looped handle strap, which looks [...]
- Sonia Rykiel Roped-Off Clutch | Resort Collection Handbag Trends - 2009-06-27 09:30:07-04
The resort collections have been going on for what seems like months, and we've been scouring the runways for the best bags and hottest trends for winter 09-10. Clutches are still big - literally and figuratively. The handheld bags that remain popular aren't your typical cocktail party, fit-in-the-crook-of-your-arm fare. They're a handful. The upside is that [...]
- Christian Audigier Graphic Bowling Bag | Dramatic Studded Leather Black and Silver Hold-all - 2009-06-27 13:21:35-04
As you all well know, handbags can sometimes by very expensive. Sometimes they can be very very expensive, but those are reaching prices us mere mortals can only dream of. Anyway, there are plenty of medium range handbags that still involve a certain tightening of the purse strings, no pun intended!
This studded bowling bag is [...]
- Kate Spade Tarrytown Mini Maeda Satchel | Classic Handbag in Yellow Leather - 2009-06-27 21:00:52-04
If your fashion sense is more classic than cutting edge, you're probably already a fan of Kate Spade's all-American designs. Her chic style is definitely simple but sometimes with a twist in the details.
For example this Mini Maeda is very traditional, but the sunny marigold yellow makes it pop. The other two color options available, [...]
- Sneak Peek of Newest Louis Vuitton Ads Featuring Madonna | Signature Logos and Fishnets Abound - 2009-06-27 21:29:49-04

Though boy toy Jesus Luz is nowhere in sight, as rumors had previously suggested, we've still yet to see the rest of the photos from the campaign. Instead, here we have nearly [...]
- Sonia Kashuk Weekender Cosmetic Bag | Affordable Paisley Print Travel Makeup Handbag - 2009-06-28 02:05:22-04
Sonia Kashuk's signature feminine style is on show again with this bold weekender cosmetic bag. But I worry that this time, the designer's gone too far.
The predominant pink and white paisley design is lovely, but it clashes with the stripes and spots that dot the top of the weekender, and all that shiny silver trim. [...]
- Jessica Bennett Pink Patent Clutch | Simple Sexy Dinner Party Purse - 2009-06-28 17:46:09-04
Wow, what a color. As far as I am aware, hot pink never really goes out of fashion - although it does have its ups and downs. With beautiful rich color like this Jessica Bennett purse, however, I don't think you can go far wrong!
The patent leather makes this simple clutch all the more attractive. High [...]
- Little Boots Celebrates Success with Alexander McQueen Handbag - 2009-06-28 21:39:00-04
Electro pop darling Little Boots is enjoying the fruits of fame with a little retail therapy. What was her first big purchase? Why an Alexander McQueen handbag of course!
"I paid full price!" the British singer admitted to Holy Moly. "When I moved here I considered any item over £100 ridiculously expensive. It's the most I've [...]
- Hype Alexis Clutch | Ruffled Metallic Leather Handbag - 2009-06-28 22:20:09-04
Every so often, it's nice to have a handbag that doesn't make you choose between styles. Sometimes you just want to look sweet, and sometimes you've got to have a contemporary edge. With this Hype clutch, you can have a little of both worlds without sacrificing cohesiveness.
The Alexis, in all its ruffled glory, is available as [...]

It turns out that not everyone is excited about Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood teaming up with Liberty of London for a fashion collaboration expected to include clothing and handbags.
The musician's recently estranged wife Jo Wood is kicking up a fuss about the news. The former model claims that she has long wanted to start [...]
- Botkier Claudia Satchel | Simple Designer Bag with Lattice Detail and Studs - 2009-06-29 00:56:54-04
At first glance, I wasn't sure how much I really liked this Botkier handbag. I'm generally a fan of the label's designs, but this one just seemed kind of "plain Jane" when I first took a peek at it.
Just look a little closer at it, though, to see some interesting features that cause it to [...]
- Spiegel Glossy Clutch | Trendy Affordable 80s Patent Purse - 2009-06-29 02:05:25-04
Are you looking for an on-trend party purse at an affordable price? Leave it to Spiegel to craft just an accessory with its Glossy Clutch.
The glossy finish isn't real patent leather, but for this price you wouldn't expect such luxury. Yet it has enough shine to fool a casual observer, making it well worth the [...]

- Sun N' Sand Coco Treasures Straw Bag | Fun Summer Beaded Handbag - 2009-06-29 04:05:16-04
It's more than a little kitsch. In fact, some might even accuse it of being tacky. But if you don't take yourself too seriously, this Coco Treasures bag from Sun N' Sand could be just what you're looking for. After all, it doesn't take itself too seriously either!
This bag is styled for summer, from the [...]
