- Envelope Style Botkier Clutch | Luxury Studded and Zipped Purse - 2009-07-06 14:58:44-04
From the same range as the beautiful Botkier trigger satchel comes this stunning bright colored tasseled clutch.
The well-known and accessible designer has always known just how to hit all the on-trend buttons without overloading the handbag with keywords. Hence the sexy studded leather trims, and the angled and exposed mini zipped pockets. Add in long color [...]
- Rampage Michelle Clutch | Contemporary Synthetic Handbag with Scale-like Detail - 2009-07-06 19:22:22-04
Rampage seems to lean toward creating or mimicking contemporary styles for women who prefer fashion with a bit of an edge. I can't say they always succeed in offering the most original options, but occasionally they are able to take a trend and make an unexpected handbag.
This Michelle clutch is very unique with its striking front feature [...]

- Preview Gucci's Fall/Winter 2009 Handbag Collection | Iconic Style and Unexpected Details Included - 2009-07-07 00:01:38-04
We saw a hint of Gucci's newest handbags in the Anja Rubik ads where the model nearly outshines the handsome Jackie bag. Well, now the purses can stand out all on their own as individual items.
The fall/winter 2009 collection includes plenty of typical Gucci style, like the well-known interlocking G logo print, with a few [...]
- Fontanelli Shiny Croco-Leather Handbag | Birkin Inspired Calfskin Purse - 2009-07-07 02:05:00-04
If you covet Hermes Birkin bags but don't have the dollars to splash around, this Shiny Croco-Leather handbag from Fontanelli is a more affordable alternative.
There are plenty of Birkin imitators out there, but this Fontanelli purse does it better than most. The greatest drawcard is the quality. While you don't get real crocodile skin for [...]
- Anti-Paparazzi Handbag Foils Celebrity Photographers - 2009-07-07 03:05:35-04
Hollywood starlets may soon be trading in their Louis Vuitton and Fendi purses for new high-tech accessories. Designer Adam Harvey has created a handbag which prevents the paparazzi from capturing those incriminating candid snaps.
It works by creating a glare in a photographer's lens, which obscures the stars in their most shameful moments. An extra-bright LED [...]
- Jil Sander Satin Clutch | Simple Chic Smoke Blue Purse - 2009-07-07 04:05:56-04
Jil Sander keeps it simple with this chic satin clutch.
This is the kind of purse that could easily be accused of being boring, but its basic style is likely to make it a wardrobe staple. It won't overshadow your outfit, or go out of style any time soon, but it's also not likely to turn [...]
- Luxurious Python Skin Ghibli Tote | Exotic and Slender Formal Hold-all - 2009-07-07 13:51:29-04
Ghibli is a little known but hugely luxurious brand. The creme de la creme of super-expensive and super-beautiful spacious totes with really superior styling.
This particular tote is a very stunning example. In rich and exotic turquoise python skin, all eyes will look your way. I don't know many bags that scream "I was very pricey" as [...]
- Whiting & Davis Ribbon Hobo | Gray Mesh Handbag with Screenprint - 2009-07-07 21:55:03-04
This has to be one of the prettiest Whiting & Davis bags I've seen. I always expect classy styles and sometimes a vintage vibe from the brand, but I'm really liking how this Ribbon hobo captures those elements yet has a contemporary feel as well.
The gray mesh fabric is screenprinted with a wavy, ribbon-like pattern. [...]
- Paris Couture Shows Hit the Runway | Roger Vivier Stands Out with Unique Handbags - 2009-07-08 00:09:56-04
Roger Vivier might be most well-known for iconic shoes like the oh-so-recognizable pilgrim shoe, but the brand is moving up in the handbag world thanks to some amazing couture designs that don't include a single buckle.
The label's fall couture show featured an incredible mix of exotic textures and rich details. Creative Director of Roger Vivier, Bruno Frisoni, [...]
- Lovcat Resin Hardware Wallet | Contemporary Simple Medium Leather Purse - 2009-07-08 02:05:27-04
Lovcat plays it safe with its Resin Hardware wallet. It's a purse without bells and whistles, but that's exactly what its fans are bound to love.
The simple flap design means we focus on the vertical stitching and minimalistic hardware. They're elegant touches, adding sophistication and style. The color palette is just as sedate, although this [...]
- Steven Meisel Creates Bottega Veneta's Pretty in Purple Fall Advertisements - 2009-07-08 03:05:49-04
Bottega Veneta has enlisted some all star talent for its fall advertising campaign. The fashion label's creative director Tomas Maier entrusted star photographer Steven Meisel to capture these gorgeous shots of Russian model Anna Jagodzinska. And he couldn't be more pleased with the results.
"I admire the intelligence that [Meisel] brings to fashion," Tomas Maier gushed. [...]

This bag is a real beauty, with amber horn polka dots covering the front and [...]

This is a special and luxurious clutch from high-fashion brand Gustto. Available in delicious orange and citrus-y lime, this leather purse brings a dose of sunshine brightness to your wardrobe.
The textured twisted leather is a particularly nice style piece on this folded envelope clutch. They decorate the flap clasp in two unusual furrows. Unique, and [...]
- Linea Pelle Janis Shoulder Bag | Boho Chic Leather Handbag with Fringe - 2009-07-08 18:30:55-04
Is it just me, or has fringe been popping up all over the place lately? It's not exactly a cutting edge fashion trend, but it is certainly one with impressive staying power.
The bohemian style hearkens back to days of flower power and peace signs. Like the Jessica Simspon Woodstock bag, there's definitely a hippie-like vibe [...]
- Win a $1200 Tory Burch Wardrobe | Designer Giveaway Includes Vacation in Mexico - 2009-07-08 18:56:37-04
If I had to choose designers whose casual styles would be ideal for a vacation in Los Cabos, Mexico, Tory Burch would definitely be on my short list.
Well, you just might be in luck if you're wishing for that perfect combination of fashion and relaxation. Tory Burchand destination hotspot Palmilla have teamed up to offer [...]
- MICHAEL Michael Kors Gansevoort Tote | Detachable Strap Buckle Detail Bag - 2009-07-08 20:47:56-04
While certainly not cheap at $299 (currently on sale!), this MICHAEL Michael Kors tote looks rich enough to be from the designer's higher end line or even out of a more prestigious handbag collection. The Gansevoort Tote comes in a beautiful blush leather which would make a lovely neutral alternative to the browns and beiges of [...]
- Mad Imports Gigi Clutch | Cute Colorful Raffia Flap Purse - 2009-07-09 02:05:48-04
Just one name, so many options: meet the Mad Imports Gigi Clutch.
While most purses simply offer us a range of colors, Mad Imports goes one step further with a selection of fun designs. There are plain versions with cute wooden features including hearts, circles, and butterflies. Then there are the bolder multi-colored options, including a [...]
- Obsessed Pop Music Fan Carries Nunchakus in Man Bag - 2009-07-09 03:05:39-04
When airlines insist you need to check in all weapons, they're not just talking about knives and other garden-variety nasties. Nunchakus are also frowned upon, as one Chinese man found out recently.
He was carrying a pair of the traditional kung-fu weapons in his handbag, but was forced to check them in before boarding a flight [...]
- Sonia Kashuk Train Case | Affordable Swirl Print Travel Cosmetics Case - 2009-07-09 04:05:05-04
Sonia Kashuk is back doing what she does best: creating affordable accessories which don't skimp on the style or features.
This swirl print may be her best yet, with its cute colors and modern curves. All too often the designer's patterns get too busy or bold, but here she seems to have struck the perfect balance. [...]
- Coach Resort Op Art Wristlet | Cute Graphic-Print Feminine Wallet - 2009-07-09 14:19:13-04
The Op-art print is one of my favourite Coach fabric designs. Bright, colorful, and just in time for the optical print trend sweeping the catwalks this Autumn/Winter.
If you have been searching for an accessible, attractive and pint-sized wristlet to house your loose change and vital belongings, this this may just fit the bill. It works [...]
- Joe's Jeans Dianna Canvas Tote | Cotton Handbag with Leather Trim - 2009-07-09 17:51:10-04
I'm fairly certain that Joe's Jeans is not one of those top popular brands for handbag-obsessing women. However, when the label's creator expanded into the wide world of accessories a couple of years ago, he carried over the brand's stylish and sexy look.
In the same fashion spirit of contemporary jeans, this Dianna tote combines casual [...]
- Michelle Obama Carries Patent VBH Clutch in Russia | Mistaken for $6K Alligator Version - 2009-07-09 19:25:45-04
The White House wants you to know that the First Lady wasn't toting around alligator skin on a recent trip to Russia.
It was an official clarification made after handbag brand VBH mistakenly identified one of their clutches in an official photo from Moscow. It's no mistake that Michelle Obama is a huge fan of the label. [...]
- Spiegel Side-Bow Bag | Cute Faux Suede Shoulder Bag - 2009-07-10 02:05:44-04
Bows can effortlessly add a feminine touch to any accessory. But whether they take the girly look too far depends on the skill of the designer. Spiegel gets the balance right here with its Side Bow Bag.
The secret is the faux suede fabric, which gives the purse a soft, muted appearance. Something flashier like a [...]
- Actress Mischa Barton's Handbags Hit Stores - 2009-07-10 03:05:56-04
She might have left Orange County years ago, but Mischa Barton continues to be one of this generation's style icons by doing a whole lot of nothing! That's not entirely true; the actress is apparently a "handbag designer" these days.
I use the term loosely, because her fall/winter purses aren't really anything to get excited about. [...]
- Sun N' Sand Harbor Hues Straw Bag | Cute Affordable Summer Tote - 2009-07-10 04:05:19-04
Sun N' Sand knows a thing or two about summer fashions. Its accessories will never suit the red carpet or the inner city jungle, but they're ideal for outdoor picnics, trips to the pool, and beach barbecues on balmy summer nights.
Some may complain about that lack of versatility, but when it comes in such cute [...]
- Aldo Hurigoto Rhombus Tote | Spacious Colorful Slouch Bag - 2009-07-10 14:48:37-04
Aldo never fail to be brilliant at providing fashion hungry handbags that won't take a massive crunch out of your credit. At only $16, this smashing festival colored tote loves both your looks, and your wallet.
The diamond layered pattern gives you plenty of opportunity for coordinating your purse and your outfit, whether you choose to highlight [...]
- Bally Venusia Tote | Black Nylon Handbag with Artist's Print - 2009-07-10 21:24:57-04
I'm not sure whether artist Bernard Villemot was inspired by Bally or if the fashion brand asked for an advertisement, but Villemot's "Bally Blonde" is a striking piece of bold but simple art. The vintage ad dating back to the 1980s is only a hint of the label's long history since Bally began over 150 years ago, [...]
- Kooba Teams with Bravo for Handbag Line Seen On Girls of "NYC Prep" - 2009-07-10 22:16:59-04
If you're obsessed with Gossip Girl and have nothing to do on recent Tuesday nights, you've probably seen an episode of Bravo's new show NYC Prep. The show follows the excessive drama and overspending of an group of teenagers from New York City's elite group of preperatory high schoolers.
Where rich kids with platinum credit cards [...]
- Tepper Jackson Peacock Messenger Bag | Eye-Catching Screen Printed Canvas Purse - 2009-07-11 02:05:19-04
Messenger bags often get a raw deal in the style stakes, as designers look to functionality over frills. While this Peacock Messenger Bag isn't exactly red-carpet ready, it's likely to turn a few heads in the classroom or office.
Signature prints often look a little obnoxious covering accessories, but I don't mind this muted "TJ" print. [...]
- Dautore Stained Glass Hobo | Spacious Slouchy Mosaic Tote - 2009-07-11 15:31:29-04
Have you ever wanted to have a bag that resembles all the stylish and beautiful characteristics of a stained glass window? Well, perhaps it isn't exactly what you wanted, but the effect in this spacious Dautore tote is quite lovely.
Essentially this block color hobo is built out of shiny diamond sections that contrast wonderfully with [...]
- Kate Spade Yuma Ida Tote | Layered Fringe Handbag in Nappa Leather - 2009-07-11 16:03:28-04
When I think of Kate Spade, fringed leather isn't exactly what comes to mind. In fact, it's probably one of the furthest things from what I'm thinking, which is usually adjectives like classic or sophisticated.
That's why I had to blink a few times before believing that this flashy, fringey number was indeed a Kate Spade [...]
- Juicy Couture's Madison Avenue Location Closes | Fifth Avenue Store Remains Open - 2009-07-11 18:49:25-04
Well, it's really not shocking anymore to hear about a retail store closing. Even though some labels are thriving despite an overall lack of income in the fashion industry, many others are feeling the crunch.
The latest brand to shut down a location is Juicy Couture. The company made the decision to close its ritzy spot [...]
- Rare Kathrine Baumann Betty Boop Minaudiere Given Away to Goodwill - 2009-07-11 21:35:15-04
They say one man's trash is another's treasure, but it's almost certain that the person who donated a Betty Boop purse to a Goodwill store in Kettering didn't realize the rare gem they were giving up.
The jewel-encrusted minaudiere was one of only 2,500 handcrafted by Kathrine Baumann Beverly Hills. The designer is a favorite with [...]
- Anne Klein Legend Satchel | Sophisticated Everyday Leather Day Bag - 2009-07-12 02:05:28-04
We've got our totes for running everyday errands, our briefcases for the office, and our cute little clutches for those red carpet galas. But who's got the time to change from one bag to the next? Anne Klein offers a practical solution with this simple, yet sophisticated satchel.
It's called the Legend, which may be a [...]
- Botkier Rio Satchel | Edgy Patent Leather Handbag with Lots of Storage - 2009-07-12 18:54:38-04
If you're in the market for an edgy designer handbag, Botkier is the way to go. It's certainly not the only brand to offer rock-and-roll style in luxury fashion. However, it's at the top of my list for that particular blend, right along with popular label Treesje.
The Botkier Rio satchel is a prime example of why Botkier [...]
- Company Creates Handbags from Recycled Leather Jackets and Thrift Store Finds - 2009-07-12 20:24:30-04
Forget seatbelts and candy wrappers. There's a new kid in town when it comes to creating handbags from recycled materials. Hold on, though. This one might not be as creative as you're expecting.
The company reMade USA has mastered the art of turning old leather items into bags. Well, it's certainly not an unexpected source for a [...]
- Australians Love Oversized Handbags - 2009-07-12 20:42:22-04
Oversized handbags are much more than a fashion accessory to Australian women; they're a necessity.
A recent survey shows that purses are no longer simply carrying a wallet and keys. They're also home to toothpaste, shaving cream, and other items. Almost 70% of the 1000 Aussies surveyed said they were carrying more in their handbags than [...]
- Anya Hindmarch Chapman Tote | Patent Leather Tan Day Bag - 2009-07-13 02:05:27-04
Anya Hindmarch's signature style is show with the Chapman Tote. It's all urban and contemporary, with naplak patent leather and a splash of hardware delivering just the right amount of gloss.
It might be a shiny gem, but the Chapman is no show pony. The traditional tote shape is uncluttered, allowing the tan patent leather to [...]
- Paris Hilton Does Handbags - 2009-07-13 03:05:19-04
She's a reality TV star, a pop siren, and of course a socialite. Now Paris Hilton has added handbag designer to her resume, with the release of her new accessories line.
With her taste for Linea Pelle and JJ Winters, I suppose it's no surprise that Paris has put her name to some purses. The biggest [...]
- Ashley M Cadillac Bubbles Satchel | Metallic Textured Car Bag - 2009-07-13 04:05:30-04
There's rarely anything subtle about Ashley M, but I think the novelty designer may have gone a little far with the Cadillac Bubbles Satchel.
This metallic bag features the Cadillac marque up front, but the logo tends to get lost in the bubbled texture. It's a curious mix really. The round bubbles seem a little cutesy [...]
