- LeSportsac Deluxe Everyday Shoulderbag | Functional Handbag in a Range of Colors - 2009-09-07 13:36:14-04
Having a beautiful and stylish handbag is great, but sometimes what you really need is a functional and useful shoulder bag that will see you through whatever the world throws at you. Everyday brand LeSportsac are just the thing for useful purses, and this deluxe version of their shoulder bag is jam packed with useful features. [...]
- Miu Miu Quilted Nappa Hobo | Studded Buttery Soft Black Quilted Leather Hobo - 2009-09-07 15:45:20-04
Miu Miu, the hip younger sister line to Prada, is always on the cutting edge of what's new and hot. Miuccia Prada, the designed of the line, has been rumored to say that she thinks in Prada, but she dreams in Miu Miu. This Quilted Nappa Hobo is a great example of Miu Miu's fashion forward [...]
- Kathy Van Zeeland Hot Stud Satchel | Brown Synthetic Bag with Mixed Metal Detail - 2009-09-07 21:41:59-04
Kathy Van Zeeland cracks me up with her never-ending list of quirky handbag names. There's the Delicious, the Sexy Back, and now the Hot Stud. I'm not usually quite sure what it is about each bag that inspires the offbeat names, but this Hot Stud satchel is a little more obvious than some. Van Zeeland's brand is [...]
- Pamela Anderson Poses for Vivienne Westwood Gold Label Ads | Westwood and Her Husband Join the Campaign - 2009-09-07 23:25:34-04
Pamela Anderson seems like an odd choice for a designer label ad campaign. When other brands are showing off their products on the waif-like bodies of supermodels like Kate Moss and Raquel Zimmerman, Vivienne Westwood is opting for busty and brassy with Anderson. This actually isn't the first time that the Baywatch babe has collaborated with the [...]
- Jessica Jensen Artisan Hobo | Chic Minimalist Bohemian Slouchy Handbag - 2009-09-08 02:05:43-04
Jessica Jensen takes the hobo back to basics with its Artisan bag. The style is simple and chic, without all the accents we tend to see. Forget fringing and studs: this is minimalism at its most pure. That might not suit the season's taste for embellishments, but the Artisan isn't about catering to fads. The only [...]
- Fossati Creates Luxury Limited Edition Lizard Bridal Bags - 2009-09-08 03:05:22-04
Rebecca Minkoff isn't the only one recognizing the hole in the bridal bag industry. The latest label looking to fill the gap is Fossati. The brand looks to create "a limited-edition evening bag that would work for any special occasion but especially cater to brides on their wedding day." While Rebecca Minkoff may have the big designer [...]
- Kenneth Jay Lane Giza Clutch | Fuchsia Pink Pyramid Studded Envelope Purse - 2009-09-08 04:05:53-04
Kenneth Jay Lane has given the traditional envelope clutch a few contemporary tweaks with the Giza. The traditional triangular flap and skinny profile is retained, but it's the modern twists which make this more than just another envelope purse. The Giza takes its name from the pyramid shaped studs that dot its front. They're big and [...]
- Jimmy Choo Large Odetta Pony Skin Bag | Electric Blue Leopard Print Pony Skin Oversized Satchel - 2009-09-08 10:17:08-04
Jimmy Choo's accessories have always been a little hit or miss to me. Sometimes he makes things that should seem over-the-top, like bright animal prints, look positively elegant, and sometimes his line just plain bores me. Luckily, this bag falls into the first category. The combination of disparate elements is really what wins me over on [...]
- Harveys Recycled Seatbelt Half-Wallet | Ecofriendly Woven Purse - 2009-09-08 16:58:29-04
Harveys ecofriendly handbags made from recycled seatbelts can now be complimented by this coordinating half wallet in the same iconic design. Not as bulky as a full wallet, these half wallets feature just enough slots and spaces for a day out. Whilst the environmentally friendly purses are specious and functional, don't expect them to hold every single card [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Flights Of Fancy Leather Tote | Colorful And Cheerful Patchwork Leather Tote - 2009-09-08 17:47:18-04
The Marc by Marc Jacobs line runs the gamut from 70's cute to sleek, minimal, and modern. This adorable leather tote epitomizes the 70's side of Jacobs' design style, but will definitely appeal to modern gals. The quirky patchwork pattern on this tote is what makes it original and unique. Little birdies flying off onto cloud [...]
- LeSportsac Travel Tote | Striped Nylon Weekend Bag with Matching Cosmetic Pouch - 2009-09-08 20:04:58-04
Travel doesn't always necessitate luxury style. Although I'm sure there are plenty of women who would disagree with that statement (mostly the ones that can't travel without Louis Vuitton luggage), I think that plenty of others just want a practical but cute bag to get them through the airport or road trips. When you want utter [...]
- Bags Meet Broadway for Michael Kors Fall/Winter 2009 Ad Campaign - 2009-09-08 21:51:56-04
I didn't know Michael Kors was such a supporter of Broadway, but I guess I could've taken a hint from his fall/winter 2009 advertising campaign that brings his impeccable fashion to the famous NYC district. I first saw this particular ad as I was flipping through one of my recent fashion magazines. I'll admit that I didn't put [...]
- Kooba Vanessa Tote Bag | Expandable Large Black Suede Handbag with Buckles - 2009-09-09 02:05:34-04
Few fabrics evoke cooler weather like suede. The sumptuously soft leather may not be the most practical material, but its finish is hard to resist. Add some on trend buckles, and the Kooba Vanessa Tote is the height of fall fashion. Suede does tend to show wear, especially on the corners, but the black color will [...]
- Celebrities Donate Purses for Handbag Amnesty | Bid on a Bag and Help Cure Cancer - 2009-09-09 03:05:35-04
The annual Handbag Amnesty is on again, giving ordinary bagistas the chance to nab celebrity purses, and raise funds for cancer research at the same time. Some of the world's most stylish stars have donated bags from their private collections. You could own Paris Hilton's own Paris Hilton handbag, Scarlett Johansson's Anya Hindmarch tote, or Annie [...]
- Lodis Sorrento Wallet | Petite Art Deco Black and Gold Purse - 2009-09-09 04:05:52-04
Lodis has taken a risk with this head-turning Sorrento wallet. However like many fashion risks, I'm not sure whether this succeeds. The basic black leather finish is given a lift with metallic gold flecks. This pattern is complemented by the large golden buckle. Its pyramid turnlock gives the wallet an art deco feel, but is it [...]
- Burbuerry Prorsum Avelene Clutch | Small Chocolate Leather Clutch With Signature Tartan Tassel - 2009-09-09 10:00:03-04
Burberry is known for their preppy outerwear and iconic plaid scarves. Their Prorsum line is a little bit less traditional, and tends to be hipper and more fashion forward. Unfortunately, this little Avelene clutch doesn't really show what Prorsum is made of. Is it my imagination, or does this clutch just look like a pencil case [...]
- Giuseppe Zanotti Luxury Oversized Clutch | Animal Print Tassled Purse - 2009-09-09 13:12:37-04
This spacious purse from Giuseppe Zanotti is one of "those" bags. You know - the clutches that hit every single trend on the head, all within one little purse. For this expensive designer evening bag, those trends are animal print, chain handles and tassels, all in one! On their own, each of the trends are hugely [...]
- Betsey Johnson Little Bow Pleated Satchel | Feminine Boxy Leather Handbag - 2009-09-09 14:53:50-04
Lately, I've been starting to think that Betsey Johnson rivals Jessica Simpson for the most variety of styles offered from one brand. The quality isn't exactly comparable since Betsey Johnson's designer bags tend to be nicer and more expensive than the celebrity's label, but the amount of different options that they both have are similar. It almost seems strange [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Large Salma Satchel | Fabulous Red Leather Satchel With Monochrome Colorblock Design - 2009-09-09 17:29:18-04
Marc by Marc Jacobs makes young, edgy clothes that are fashion forward and mostly affordable. He's attracted a loyal, nay, worshipful following among downtown types that is quickly spreading across the world. And, let's be honest, he deserves it, because bags like this are a recessionista's dream come true. The lipstick red leather is totally glamazon. [...]
- Win Designer Purses from Handbag.com during Handbag Month Giveaway - 2009-09-10 01:19:32-04
Handbag.com is doing more than collaborating with Cancer Research UK for their Handbag Amnesty program to fund breast cancer research in the United Kingdom. On a less solemn note, they're bringing designer fashion to the masses. The website is giving away one gorgeous purse every day during the month of September. That's thirty chances to win one [...]
- Magid Classic Satin Evening Bag | Elegant Budget Clutch Purse with Tassel - 2009-09-10 02:05:37-04
Magid is famous for its cheap and cheerful casual handbags, but with this Classic Satin Evening Bag the brand shows it can scrub up nicely. The most refreshing part is that even when glammed up, Magid still won't hurt your hip pocket. I would never have guessed this polished purse was from Magid unless you told [...]
- Lindsay Lohan Takes Artistic Adviser Job at Ungaro Fashion House - 2009-09-10 03:05:02-04
Lindsay Lohan seems to be spending more time in the fashion world than on the silver screen these days, but I was still surprised to hear that Ungaro has hired the troubled actress. Lindsay will fill the very big shoes of Esteban Cortazar, working alongside new chief designer Estrella Archs as artistic adviser. Ungaro's chief executive [...]
- Ralph Lauren Open Top Tote | Feminine Pink Signature Print Carryall Bag - 2009-09-10 04:05:34-04
If you're a girly girl who loves Ralph Lauren, I may have just found your ideal bag. But if you're not, this open top tote probably won't impress you. While this pink purse is clearly targeted at Barbie-loving stylistas, it's not as obnoxious as many bags of its ilk. The pink background is pale and subtle, [...]
- Stella McCartney Chain Detail Hobo | Grunge Rock Chic Slouchy Black Faux Leather Hobo - 2009-09-10 10:35:50-04
Stella McCartney is one of those rare fashion designers who puts her morals where her mouth is. She is a militant vegan, and none of her designs use any animal products or even any PVC-based synthetics. All her designs are made from eco-friendly and totally plant-based materials. And, they're also amazing. I'm basically swooning for this [...]
- Burberry Nova Armored Handbags | Gunmetal Baby Beaton Hold-all - 2009-09-10 14:46:30-04
This is a pretty and unusual hold-all bag from respected designer Burberry. Bringing a new twist to the traditional Burberry tartan, this gunmetal patent purse is covered from shiny head to shiny toe in squares of PVC colored canvas, on which are snapshots of that well-known tartan. The stud fastenings and metallic shades all lean towards [...]
- Bulga Cava Tote | Classic and Neutral Handbag with Modern Grommet Detailing - 2009-09-10 15:07:49-04
Bulga is a brand that I mentally place in a category with labels like Treesje and Linea Pelle. Their designs are almost always appealing, high quality, and classic with some unexpected twist that takes it to just a little contemporary. Although I'd probably consider Bulga the most conservative of the three brands when it comes to edgy [...]
- Get a Free Tory Burch Tote Bag When you Attend Fashion's Night Out or Shop Online - 2009-09-10 17:12:41-04
Today is the big day. Tons of designers around the world are gearing up for Fashion's Night Out, "a global celebration of fashion." In the United States, New York City is the center of the initiative to revitalize a suffering industry. American gal and popular designer Tory Burch is just one of many labels opening their shops, [...]
- Kara Ross Gemma Onyx Velvet Clutch | Simply Elegant Black Velvet Designer Evening Bag - 2009-09-10 18:39:46-04
Kara Ross might be the new reigning queen of the clutch. Her luxurious, uptown designs are quickly make her into a one woman accessory sensation. This Gemma Onyx Clutch is a good reason why she should have so much acclaim. In the overdesigned, overdecorated world of fashion, simple, timeless elegance really stands out. The luxe black [...]
- Tepper Jackson Mosaic Coin Purse | Small Round Colorful Patterned Purse - 2009-09-11 00:55:00-04
When a clutch bag or wallet seems too bulky, a coin purse is a handy choice for stashing cash. This cute creation by Tepper Jackson is an affordable, and adorable, option. It's not the most luxurious coin purse around, but its PVC finish does keep the price down to an affordable $24. It's a durable choice [...]
- Stuart Weitzman Ruche Hobo Bag | Feminine Brown Pleated Leather Purse - 2009-09-11 02:05:56-04
Stuart Weitzman gives the hobo style a girly makeover with this pleated leather bag. The Ruche Hobo brings sophistication to this traditionally casual style. The classic crescent shape and relaxed slouch is maintained, but it's given a little more structure than usual thanks to the striking pleats. This vertical ruching is the bag's definitive feature, and [...]
- Samsonite and McLaren Collaborate on Sports Car Inspired Black Label Luggage Collection - 2009-09-11 03:05:15-04
Samsonite's designer collaborations are coming thick and fast. Months after announcing its Black Label collection with Viktor & Rolf, the luxury luggage brand has announced its latest collaboration with McLaren. It might seem an unlikely pairing, but it's not the first time we've seen sports car inspired bags. Last month we saw Ralph Lauren launch the [...]
- Tory Burch Fringed Leather Bag | Boho Chic Mottled Black Leather Shoulder Bag With Fringe - 2009-09-11 10:10:09-04
Tory Burch's fall accessories are seriously blowing me away. I'll admit that I have kind of an anti-Tory Burch bias, so that really says a lot. It's not that I have anything against her personally, I'm just easily bored by preppy, conservative designs and obvious logos. But her new fall line offers the clean cut [...]
- See By Chloé Joy Rider Oversized Shoulder Bag | Futuristic Metallic Blue Padded Nylon Carryall - 2009-09-11 17:53:44-04
Chloé is one of my favorite lines every. They always seem to come up with something totally unique and chic. Unfortunately, this Joy Rider tote doesn't bear any resemblance to the Chloé I've come to know and love. The puffy metallic nylon and the generally slouchy design of the bag make it look almost completely shapeless. [...]
- Treesje Mason Cross-Body | Washed Lambskin Leather Bag with Studs and Buckles - 2009-09-11 20:39:20-04
I'm a sucker for Treesje handbags and tend to love nearly anything from the label. Although I'm used to seeing more of a contemporary edge to their styles, this Mason Cross-Body surprised me with its stylish ruggedness. The washed Italian lambskin material gives the appearance of being worn-in through use. However, it manages to avoid the [...]
- Designer Wayne Lee Adds Handbags to Spring Collection | Debuts New Designs at Fashion Week - 2009-09-11 22:09:27-04
The mayhem of New York Fashion Weekhas begun. Perhaps the buzz is even quieter than it has been in past years thanks to a continuing fashion recession (despite Anna Wintour's valiant efforts for revival at Fashion's Night Out), but it's still as interesting as ever to see what designers have been working on for the new [...]
- The Jesse B. Collection Bermuda Bag | Cute Frame Handbag with Bridget Reversible Cover - 2009-09-12 02:05:42-04
This reversible handbag from The Jesse B. Collection gives you two looks in one! Five white buttons secure the reversible cover to the frame-style bag. One side features this chic red and white houndstooth print. The other is bright red wool, perfect for the cooler weather to come this year! The removable cover idea is an interesting [...]
- Use Reusable Totes to Celebrate International Plastic Bag Free Day - 2009-09-12 03:05:15-04
Today marks the first International Plastic Bag Free Day, a global initiative which encourages everyone to ditch the plastic bags and carry their groceries home in reusable totes. The event is the brainchild of the United Kingdom's Marine Conservation Society, but it's received support around the world. The organization has a vested interest in abolishing plastic [...]
- Lodis Audrey Formal Clutch | Functional Traditional Leather Wallet - 2009-09-12 03:45:37-04
If you have been looking fora work suitable formal clutch, then this simple and understated wallet from Lodis is one of the smartest purses out there. This Audrey clutch isn't about to win any prizes in the looks department. Simple, plain and undecorated, this is a look that may never be in fashion, but won't ever [...]
- Stella McCartney Perforated Satin Clutch | Emerald Green Evening Bag With Elegant Perforated Design - 2009-09-12 10:23:13-04
Stella McCartney always surprises me. Sometimes in a good way, sometimes not. Mostly, I love her downtown design sensibility and her dedication to her unique point of view. Bags like this Perforated Satin Clutch are exactly the reason why she has such a star-studded reputation. The emerald green satin has a fabulous sheen and will definitely [...]
- Cole Haan Whitney Zip Hobo | Red Leather Handbag with Grommets - 2009-09-12 12:00:36-04
Well, I'm back to grommets again. The classy Bulga Cava Tote must have gotten me on a kick for them. There's something so interesting yet casual about the detail that makes it a great addition to a handbag. This is not the first time that Cole Haan has used grommets on a bag either. The Village [...]
- Marni Mini Balloon Bag | Sleek And Shiny Bordeaux Patent Balloon Bag - 2009-09-12 18:25:15-04
Marni is one of those lines that combines designs and materials in unique and unexpected ways. The line, favored by fashionistas on both sides of the Atlantic, delivers classic style with a hip, youthful attitude. Their modern take on the classic balloon bag is to die for. The slick maroon patent is the perfect material for [...]
- Celestina Sterling Silver Minaudiere | Luxurious Designer Crocodile Textured Metal Evening Purse - 2009-09-13 02:05:27-04
With this sterling silver minaudiere, Celestina designer Tina Maristela-Ocampa shows us what her magic touch can bring to metal. The brand is more famous for its abalone and mother-of-pearl clutches, but this gorgeous minaudiere is no less striking. In fact, by dabbling in an unexpected medium, Celestina ensures this evening purse really stands out. The sterling [...]
- Hello Kitty PVC Baguette | Kitsch Cartoon Purse with Kitten Motif - 2009-09-13 17:23:54-04
On a cold dark day, everyone could use a little dose of Hello Kitty style sunshine. You either love the Hello Kitty brand or you hate it, but no-one can deny how happy, carefree and downright cheerful the little cartoons are. This cheap and cute purse by Hello Kitty is just the thing to break yourself [...]
- Betseyville Party Hearty Overnighter | Betsey Johnson Quilted Weekender Tote - 2009-09-13 21:33:26-04
Betsey Johnson continues to serve up nothing but the quirkiest, most whimsical yet stylish bags around. At least, that's my take on the designer's goods. Where some brands take whimsy to a tacky place, Betsey Johnson somehow manages to make it more kitschy than gaudy. Her Betseyville range of bags is fun and not completely out of reach [...]
- Vivienne Tam Replaces the Evening Bag with the 'Digital Clutch' | Designer Reveals Second Fashionable Netbook - 2009-09-13 22:19:56-04
I'm not sure just how popular Vivienne Tam's first stab at fashionable computers was the first time around, but the designer is giving it another go. The computer geniuses at Hewlett-Packard have teamed up with Tam yet again for another fashionably encased netbook. This new "Digital Clutch" was revealed at Tam's Spring 2010 collection show at Fashion Week in [...]
- Louis Vuitton Inspired by Vintage Wartime Chic for Fall 2009 Advertising - 2009-09-13 22:51:01-04
You never know quite what you're going to get with Louis Vuitton. Recent ads have featured pop queen Madonna and veteran astronauts. This time around the luxury label is back to fashion basics with a campaign fronted by model Missy Rider. Her steel blue gloved hands clutch a casual drawstring bag which bears Louis Vuitton's [...]
- Chinese Laundry Olivia Shoulder Bag | Layered Synthetic Flap Purse - 2009-09-14 02:05:58-04
Chinese Laundry has brought a modern attitude to the shoulder bag with the Olivia, part of its fun new fall collection. The front is adorned with layered flaps, which are cut diagonally to add edgy interest. Layers can look feminine and fussy, but the surprising angles give the bag more of an uptown vibe. I just [...]
- Oversized Handbags Put Female Motorists at Risk - 2009-09-14 03:05:47-04
We already knew oversized handbags are an ergonomic nightmare which put us at risk of identity theft, but now it seems there are a few more reasons to ditch our large totes. A study by insurance company Sheilas' Wheels shows that enormous bags pose a serious threat to female motorists. Women favoring the huge handbags spend [...]
- Elaine Turner Nicole Handbag | Eco-Friendly Grasscloth Tote Bag with Embossed Croc Trim - 2009-09-14 04:05:09-04
Green fashionistas are spoiled for choice these days, with cotton canvas, bamboo, straw, and vegan leather giving us plenty of alternatives to animal skins. Grasscloth may not have the profile of many other eco-friendly fabrics, but that makes bags like the Nicole so attractive. The tightly woven cloth is crafted from several Asian grasses and fibers. [...]
