- Maxx New York Delgrade Clutch | Patent Shaded Sexy Purse - 2009-08-24 14:28:31-04
A clutch with a witty name like this Maxx New York Delgrade purse is always nice to write about. Graded color, you see?! It may not change the handbag itself, but it can't hurt! They say not to judge a book by its cover - but hey!
The shape of this little patent clutch is unusual, and emphasised [...]
- The New Fall 2009 Coach Cambridge Handbag Collection Launches Online - 2009-08-24 15:43:16-04
Coach knows just how to tease us with pearlized leathers in plum and metallics to get us in the mood for fall when there's still weeks left of summer.
Their new Cambridge Collection, available online now, will hit stores September 1. The collection includes five styles including my favorite - the Cambridge Zip Top Tote in plum - [...]
- Jil Sander Oversized Leather Shoulder Bag | Minimal Black Bag With Sleek Menswear Styling - 2009-08-24 18:49:07-04
Jil Sander has been killing it lately on the runway. Her uniquely minimal, menswear-inspired designs are dominating the fashion scene. What I like about Jil Sander is that throughout the years and trends she has always remained true to her clean, pared down design sensibilities.
This bag really epitomizes the Jil Sander look. It is as [...]
- Bally Joletta Shoulder Bag | Leather Hobo with Chainlink and Zippered Detail - 2009-08-24 20:50:13-04
Although the Bally Joletta handbag looks like a simple hobo at first glance, there are some first-rate details on it that make it worth your consideration.
The Joletta's impressive quality comes with a hefty price tag, however, as you might expect from the brand. While a $1,165 retail price will probably keep many shoppers away, those [...]
- Sasha Pivovarova Wears Designer Paper Shopping Bags in New 'W' Magazine Editorial - 2009-08-24 23:18:19-04
I expected to see a few bags in this new Sasha Pivovarova editorial, but I certainly didn't expect her to be wearing them...at least not on her body instead of her shoulder.
Who knew that paper bags could be so chic? Well, maybe chic isn't the right word, but W Magazine was definitely aiming for eye-catching [...]
- Elaine Turner Laura Clutch | Soft Printed Embossed Snake Purse - 2009-08-25 02:05:34-04
The Laura from Elaine Turner marries the contemporary attitude of snakeskin with a gentle femininity.
While many snake purses are dramatically dark, the Laura takes a much softer approach. Some might accuse the pastel color palette of being a little washed out, but there's something so pretty about the muted shades. This pink purse is the [...]
- Evans Sequin Leopard Bag | Large Loud Inexpensive Synthetic Party Purse - 2009-08-25 04:05:00-04
There's absolutely nothing subtle about this leopard bag from Evans.
Leopard print rarely fades into the background, but for some reason Evans thought it wasn't loud enough. So the label has covered this handbag is sequins for that extra bit of sparkle. The glitz doesn't stop there, with shiny metal studs and rings near the handles [...]
- Vitalio Vera Patent Orange Sofie Tote Bag | Chunky Vintage Mod Carryall - 2009-08-25 05:49:57-04
Patent orange handbags are beautifully on trend and are great fun this season. They bring to mind vibrant mod clothing and vespas.
But this particular orange bag made me do a double take. The Sofie looks an awful lot like Vitalio Vera's Sofia. It's almost got the same name! But there are a few fundamental differences [...]
- Tommy Hilfiger Explorer Duffle | Striped Denim Weekend Bag with Nautical Feel - 2009-08-25 15:19:32-04
Everyone needs a good weekend bag. Even if you don't travel on a regular basis, it's still important to have at least one mid-sized duffle with space to fit everything you need for a few days away from home.
One of the great things about this Tommy Hilfiger Explorer duffle bag is that it could work [...]
- Vitalio Vera Patent Orange Sofie Tote | Chunky Vintage-style Mod Satchel - 2009-08-25 15:44:34-04
Patent orange handbags are beautifully on trend and are great fun this season. They bring to mind beautiful orange mod clothing and inspire bold bright vintage looks.
The Vitalio Vera chunky patent tote is reminiscent of the Sofia range, after which it was named. Together the two of them feature huge kitsch leather bows, and slouchy over-sized [...]
- Alexander McQueen Knuckle Duster Clutch | Edgy Black Patent Purse With Extra Attitude - 2009-08-25 15:46:47-04
Alexander McQueen is known for his punky, hard-edged irreverence. He's one of those designers that most people either love love love or hate hate hate, but he's so extreme that he garners very little in the way of wishy-washy.
I, for one, adore McQueen, and if I could walk around head-to-toe in his crazy clothes, that [...]
- Payless ShoeSource Releases New York Charity Tote Bag - 2009-08-25 20:57:31-04
Payless ShoeSource will released this stylish charity tote as part of NYC's Fashion's Night Out, an initiative designed to promote New York fashion and retail and inspire consumer confidence.
The fabric bags feature the official cityscape graphic created for the Fashion's Night Out campaign. The reusable bag is made to last with its rip-stop nylon finish [...]
- Dutch Company Henk Sells Handmade Luxury Luggage for $20,000 - 2009-08-25 21:00:23-04
When you hear the phrase luxury luggage, I'm guessing that visions of Louis Vuitton cases flash through your mind. Although the brand's famously monogrammed travel bags seems to be a popular choice among jet-setting celebrities, they are certainly not the only ones in the business of expensive luggage.
A company named Henk, which is based in the [...]
- Fontanelli Ladybug Bag | Polished Black and Red Italian Leather Insect Handbag - 2009-08-26 02:05:23-04
The whimsical sense of humor of Italian brand Fontanelli is on show with this cute Ladybug bag.
There's certainly no mistaking the brand's inspiration here. The bag's black leather finish contrasts with a bold red spotted wing-like flap. It's quite a convincing attempt to recreate the form of the beloved beetle! But it's a little sad [...]
- Fossil Blackburn Crossbody Bag | Stylish Pebbled Leather Practical Purse - 2009-08-26 04:05:49-04
With the Blackburn, Fossil has created a bag which puts functionality first.
That's not to say this cross body bag is ugly. The super-soft pebbled leather is quite lovely, and some unexpected color choices like eggplant purple and this royal blue really pop. The white contrast stitching also adds a little flair. But the design is [...]
- Celestina Abalone Felipa Clutch | Stunning and Elegant Mosaic Evening Bag - 2009-08-26 16:25:16-04
You may not have heard of Tina Maristela-Ocampo, yet, but her Celestina clutches are quickly becoming some of the most coveted accessories in the world. The Manilla-based designer uses the natural resources of her home city as inspiration and material. The purses, called "minaudières" are small, unique, and Anna Wintour included them in Vogue's list of [...]
- Goodhope Wicker Picnic Basket | Fun Functional Vintage Straw Tote - 2009-08-26 17:55:54-04
Whilst autumn/winter trends may be here for the foreseeable future, I thought one last homage to good old summer was due. This vintage picnic basket is just the sort of fun yet functional summer item that makes those sunny days as fun as possible.
Built in typical retro straw bag style, this Goodhope tote is the epitome [...]
- Francesco Biasia Lucky Seven Leather Hobo | Soft Brushed Calfskin Handbag - 2009-08-26 20:43:15-04
This Francesco Biasia Lucky Seven hobo brings together sophisticated simplicity and modern convenience in one beautiful package.
If you like the understated elegance of brands like Linea Pelle or Joe's Jeans, then this handbag is probably right up your alley. The Lucky Seven hobo offers women a hint of an equestrian-inspired saddle bag without conforming to [...]
- Simon Cowell Gifts Alexandra Burke with Chanel Handbag for 21st Birthday - 2009-08-26 22:04:12-04
It pays to have friends in high places, and they don't come much bigger than Simon Cowell. The X Factor judge recently flexed his considerable influence to get a Chanel handbag for last year's winner, Alexandra Burke.
Simon wasn't deterred by the demand for the hard to get bag. He made a few calls, schmoozed a [...]
- Former Marc Jacobs Accessories Director Joy Gryson Launches New Handbag Collection with MCM | Coco Rocha Stars in Ad Campaign - 2009-08-26 22:32:03-04
Who in the world is Joy Gryson? That's what I found myself wondering when I recently came across multiple headlines involving her name. I must be way behind on my fashion lines, but this one was a new one for me.
This one-time director of design for Marc Jacobs Handbag and Accessories started her own collection of [...]
- Global Elements Skirt Purse | Affordable Orange Pleated Handbag with Sequin Border - 2009-08-27 02:05:30-04
This fun Global Elements skirt purse is something dramatically different for this party season.
The floaty, flirty skirt shape is effortlessly eye-catching. The billowing body is offset by thousands of rainbow colored sequins and beads. I love the look, but I'm a little nervous about what will happen once the bag is full of your evening [...]
- Halston Allen Satchel | Sophisticated Medium Studded Black Suede and Leather Handbag - 2009-08-27 04:05:19-04
Halston epitomizes chic urban fashions with this sexy Allen satchel.
The front reminds me of the night sky with its black suede finish dotted with tiny star-like studs. The dark fabric is complemented by buttery soft black leather panels on the side. The combination of black on black is classic, but I'm not sure that suede [...]
- Hobo International Lauren Clutch | Luxe Quilted Evening Purse - 2009-08-27 14:17:22-04
In my humble opinion, there is nothing that makes a handbag seem more luxurious than some comfy luxurious padded quilting. With an elegant and classy diamond quilting exterior, this pretty clutch from Hobo international is ready for every party you can throw at it.
Whilst the burgundy cushioning is sexy and reminiscent of Chanel handbags, the [...]
- Halston Foldover Clutch | Retro 70's Electric Green Suede Clutch - 2009-08-27 17:58:10-04
For the past century, Halston has been on the forefront of refined elegance. They've dressed some of the most rich, famous, and fabulous women in history, and while the popularity of the label has waxed and waned, the quality of their designs never has.
To be honest, I'm a bit surprised by the eye-popping color of [...]
- Dooney & Bourke Tartan Erica Sac | Canvas Hobo Bag with Leather and Suede Trim - 2009-08-27 20:39:12-04
Tartan might not be a look that suits everyone's taste, but I happen to love this checkered fabric when it is done well. It's not a fabric pattern that you want to include in every outfit you wear, unless you're part of a Scottish clan; however, it's a fun addition to a wardrobe, especially for accessories.
Since [...]
- Maria Sharapova Designs for Cole Haan | Tennis Star Collaborates with Label for Line of Bags and Shoes - 2009-08-27 21:09:04-04
If I had to pick out a brand that I'd imagine Maria Sharapova collaborating with for a fashion line, it would probably be something like Nike. Oh wait, maybe that's because she already has a Maria Sharapova for Nike collection involving sportswear. The blonde, leggy tennis star with Nike is an easy pair to picture. [...]
- Studs and Quilting On Trend for Fall Handbag Trends - 2009-08-27 22:34:46-04
It's all in the details for this season's handbags. Forget your plain leather purses; studded and quilted bags are leading the way.
"Handbags have become the new statement accessories," said Katie Frayard, manager of Kiki. "Clothes are a backdrop for bags."
The fringe fad also hasn't faded, although moderation is key. Keep it soft and delicate unless [...]
- Harajuku Lovers Dreamy Music Snowbunnies Tote | Cute Gwen Stefani Winter Shoulder Bag - 2009-08-28 02:05:59-04
They might be sister lines, but Harajuku Lovers bags are a world away from the chic offerings from L.A.M.B. Instead, the label embraces Gwen Stefani's playful side with fun purses like this Dreamy Music tote.
Just in time for the cooler weather ahead, this tote features an adorable wintery scene. A smiling scarf-wearing Harajuku girl stands [...]
- Law & Order: SVU Fan Solves Bag Theft Mystery - 2009-08-28 03:05:09-04
A keen crime show fan has solved a New York robbery using the techniques she learned from NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
When a handbag, an iPod, and a wallet were stolen from a New York City production company, office worker Justine Faeth wondered, what would Detective Olivia Benson do? And so she returned [...]
- Jessica Jensen Pure Tote | Sophisticated Textured White Leather Handbag - 2009-08-28 04:05:56-04
Few things make a statement like a white, bright, handbag. Jessica Jensen brings a little something different to the mix with the Pure Tote.
The lush white leather is adorned with round white studs. What I like about this is that it's on-trend, but just a little left of center. We're used to metal studs adding [...]
- The SAK Silverlake Convertible Bag | Half Clutch, Half Tote - 2009-08-28 12:09:10-04
Versatility is the name of the game in a world where we are all still tightening our purse strings (pun intended). This spacious crossbody tote from The SAK is easily converted into a chunky clutch - two bags for the price of one!
As a tote this is a tall and spacious bag available in either [...]
- Tignanello Soft Touch Ball Shopper | Slouchy and Supple Leather Handbag - 2009-08-28 16:45:00-04
I might be a little biased when it comes to reviewing Tignanello styles because I think they have some fabulous handbags, but I'm sure I'm not alone in liking the look and design of this Soft Touch Ball Shopper.
One of my favorite features of this moderately affordable purse is its real leather material. That's one [...]
- Alexander Wang Talks to 'W' Magazine about Naming Handbags | Designer Draws Inspiration from TV Characters - 2009-08-28 21:30:32-04
Alexander Wang has been quickly moving his status from up-and-coming to highly desirable in the great fashion industry. With the launch of his new e-commerce site earlier this month, I anticipate that his sales will rise even quicker than the buzz around his name.
In a recent interview with W Magazine the designer revealed some interesting [...]
- Kathrine Baumann King Tut Minaudiere | Swarovski Crystal Egyptian Pharoah Evening Bag - 2009-08-29 02:05:38-04
Move over Judith Leiber; Kathrine Baumann is muscling in on your territory! Just like Judith, Kathrine creates some eye-catching, and unforgettable crystal minaudieres.
This head-turning beauty is the King Tut, modeled after the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. In rich styling befitting this rich boy king, his likeness is rendered in gorgeous gold. His headdress is adorned with [...]
- Hermes Takes Over London Liberty Store with Pop-Up Boutique - 2009-08-29 03:05:20-04
Liberty's scarf room in London is about to be taken over by Hermes. The British retailer will host a pop-up Hermes scarf and tie shop from September 7 to October 18.
The space will take the form of an oversized dressing up box, where visitors can experiment with the luxurious French creations. There's the iconic carre [...]
- The Jesse B. Collection Strawberry Patch Clutch | Cute Kitsch Canvas Purse - 2009-08-29 13:21:33-04
With the weekend here, the time has come for a little fun. After all, that's what time off is meant to be about. Fun is exactly what this casual canvas clutch from the Jesse B Collection is aiming for.
With a cute and cheery strawberry button on the neutral fabric, this clutch is very 50's. After [...]
- Alexander McQueen Faithful Leather Glove Clutch | Wild and Weird Black Leather Clutch With Attached Moto Glove - 2009-08-29 16:24:29-04
Alexander McQueen is one designer who is not afraid to let his weird, wacky sense of humor shine through. Who else is going to pull off attaching a glove to a clutch, and not just pull it off, but make it a must have accessory of the season? McQueen takes his conceptual ideas about fashion, [...]
- Steven by Steve Madden Lady Killers Satchel | Bold Purple Handbag with Feminine Details - 2009-08-29 20:57:04-04
This Steven by Steve Madden satchel jumped out at me as soon as I saw it. It wasn't just the bold amethyst purple color either. This spunky Lady Killers handbag has a great combination of edgy and feminine details for an everyday accessory with more than your average bag's personality.
For $248, I would expect real [...]
- Designer Brand Be & D Revisits Familiar Styles and Brings in New Details for Fall 09 Handbag Collection - 2009-08-29 21:27:15-04
With price tags generally pushing $1,000 and beyond, Be & D is one of those fashion accessories labels that I love to covet despite the fact that it is decidedly out of my handbag shopping budget. In an industry where certain looks can sometimes start to pop up in more than one brand's collection, this company [...]
- Nine West Justine Tote | Black Synthetic Leather Flap Bag - 2009-08-30 13:23:55-04
As more and more consumers choose not to buy leather, it's becoming more and more a fashionable and Eco-conscious choice to purchase synthetic leather bags. But there's still not a lot of them out there from brands you would typically go to for leather or "fashionable" accessories.
Nine West may not be the height of fashion, [...]
- Cole Haan Village Drawstring Hobo | Red Soft Collection Handbag - 2009-08-30 13:57:48-04
Cole Haan is known for their leathers, so it makes sense that they would create a Soft Collection designed to showcase their "supple leather fabrication." And, as I always find it silly to make super soft bags too structured, a drawstring hobo like this one seems like the perfect shape for this line.
Do note that [...]
- Kenneth Cole New York Smash Hit Handbag | Purple Back To School Hobo - 2009-08-30 14:23:16-04
This is a great bag for back to school for so many reasons. Kenneth Cole New York is a great youth brand - their bags are stylish and fun, and good quality for the affordable price. This is also a classic style that would serve a high school or college student well. Plus it has [...]
- Stuart Weitzman Pyrex Clutch | Bright Patent Purse with Satin Lining - 2009-08-30 14:23:20-04
Vintage materials are all the rage at the moment, as this patent purse with retro Pyrex handles from Stuart Weitzman goes to show.
In bright patent shades of magenta or yellow, this small clutch has an eye catching design. The handles is fashioned from a disk of stylish Pyrex, once the domain of the 50's housewife and [...]
- Betsey Johnson Made In The Fade Satchel | Black Weathered Leather Handbag - 2009-08-30 18:18:56-04
I've come to expect anything from retro to rocker to downright kooky from Betsey Johnson. When she's not talking to the media about her desire to retire, this popular designer seems to be busy creating styles to fit quite a variety of tastes.
Edgy rock-and-roll is definitely a look we've seen from Betsey Johnson before in [...]
- Alexis Hudson Releases Edgy "Biker Babe" Fall Handbag Collection - 2009-08-30 22:14:46-04
Alexis Hudson has combined urban form and everyday functionality in its gorgeous fall 2009 collection. Tough metal hardware is balanced with buttery-soft leather throughout the line, which designer Rachelle Copeland calls "biker babe meets Sophia Loren."
But it's not all rock and roll. We see elements of boho chic in the Camille clutch, a tassel-enhanced purse [...]
- Tod's G-Bag Is Favorite Everyday Tote for Celebrities | Jessica Alba and Julia Roberts Among the Fans - 2009-08-30 22:44:36-04
Move over YSL Roady Tote, you've got some competition for the newest gotta-have-it handbag for Hollywood celebrities. Tod's G-Bag is making its way around town and popping up on quite a few famous shoulders.
Although the G-Bag is not a brand-new design for the label, it's popularity seems to have increased exponentially in recent months. Gwyneth [...]
- Kenneth Jay Lane Eros Clutch | Black Crinkle Patent Leather Art Deco Purse with Green Stone - 2009-08-30 23:31:58-04
Kenneth Jay Lane embodies art deco style with its Eros clutch. It's named after the Greek god of love and lust, and its inspiring equal measures of both in me!
The black patent leather finish is sleek and smooth. This sophisticated leather is lovely but basic, allowing the pale green stone accent to take center stage. [...]
- Kate Spade Kashmir Becca Pencil Case | Paisley Cotton Canvas Bag - 2009-08-31 10:00:27-04
A pencil case may seem like a strange thing to buy from a designer like Kate Spade, but her pencil cases are actually pretty popular for a variety of functions. I know people who use them as business card or receipt pouches, or even cosmetics bags (though in canvas I might not recommend that). There's [...]
