New at BagBunch: Giuseppe Zanotti Button Clutch | Skull and Crossbones Wristlet

Hi mary,

Check out the latest handbag fashion news and review at BagBunch.com:
  1. Giuseppe Zanotti Button Clutch | Skull and Crossbones Wristlet - 2009-10-26 12:31:00-04
    Giuseppe Zanotti has really gone all out with this bold and edgy wristlet design. Perfect for the 80's trend sweeping the globe, this chunky black clutch has a certain air of biker chic to it. From the huge over-sized black metal button clasp, through to the hard black leather and the skull and crossbones zip pull, [...]
  2. Roxy Living It Up Hobo | Casual Fabric Plaid Convertible Handbag - 2009-10-26 17:05:00-04
    It's the season for plaid, and this classic print seems to be popping up everywhere. Like the Nine West Rory Cross-Body Bag, this Roxy Living It Up hobo handbag fits right in with the checkered scarves and coats that have now emerged from peoples' closets. Although I tend to prefer red and gray plaids to other [...]
  3. Anja Rubik Models for Giuseppe Zanotti Fall/Winter 2009 Campaign - 2009-10-26 20:52:49-04
    Anja Rubik has been working hard in the fashion industry lately. This Polish model seems to be involved in all kinds of projects including designing for Poland-based brand Quazi and starring in some of the advertising campaigns of fashion's biggest names. She has created quite a statement in multiple Gucci ads, and now the blonde bombshell [...]
  4. Rafe Ali Tote Bag | Vibrant Yellow Crocodile Stamped Carryall Handbag - 2009-10-27 02:05:32-04
    Classic style and an unexpected splash of color prove an irresistible combination in the Rafe Ali tote. It may not be made of authentic crocodile, but it is crafted from genuine leather. Of course, for $775 retail you'd expect nothing less. While it's not exactly inexpensive, it is a quality alternative to the prohibitively pricy exotic [...]
  5. Lulu Guinness Loves Cheryl Cole and Other Brainy Bag Fans - 2009-10-27 03:05:05-04
    Anyone can carry a Lulu Guinness handbag, but if you don't have brains the British designer definitely won't approve! The handbag queen recently told Vogue UK the kind of girls that she'd prefer carrying her purses. "Generally the girls who want to carry my bags are pretty bright and quirky," she said. "We don't look for [...]
  6. Rampage Cadence Cross-Body Tote Bag | Convertible Snakeskin Ruched Handbag - 2009-10-27 04:05:12-04
    Rampage shows us what happens when a designer follows the trends, and decides to use all of them on the one handbag, with this confused Cadence cross-body tote. Snakeskin printed fabric. Check. Ruching. Check. Eyecatching metal hardware. Check and check. It's just simply too much. Honestly, the ruching would have been too much on its own. [...]
  7. Roxy Where It's At Hobo | Simple and Affordable Plain Tote - 2009-10-27 13:10:47-04
    For once, cute surf-wear designer Roxy has produced a hobo that is more about simplicity than canvas. Where usually the designer's signature logos and prints are all over the bag, this simple Where It's At hobo has only plain and minimalist white leather. Suddenly this casual designer is more than appropriate for the office, and with the cool [...]
  8. La Regale Pleated Bow Clutch | Dressy Burgundy Satin Handbag - 2009-10-27 15:15:37-04
    La Regale lives up to its reputation as a great choice for affordable, stylish, and unique bags for formal events with this pleated bow clutch with the style number 25068. Now, I've seen some generously sized bows on various handbags, but this one definitely takes the cake. Instead of merely functioning as a decorative feature, this one [...]
  9. Enter the Mulberry Mitzy Hobo Giveaway at Ideeli.com - 2009-10-27 15:42:27-04
    Like most giveaways from Ideeli.com, this one is definitely worth entering but won't be up for long. You'll have to act fast if you want the chance to score this fabulous prize. The exclusive shopping site that has given lucky winners handbags from labels like Miu Miu, Lanvin, and Gucci is now handing out one very [...]
  10. Rebecca Minkoff Darling Shoulder Bag | Slouchy Hobo Shaped Leather Fall Handbag - 2009-10-28 02:05:27-04
    Rebecca Minkoff shows she knows how to do more than boxy bags with the new Darling. This unexpected purse is more hobo than shoulder bag with its crescent shape and soft, slouchy silhouette. For a designer who favors structure, this bohemian look is a real surprise. But she embraces it, with tasseled zipper pulls on the [...]
  11. L.L. Bean Launches Affordable Signature Collection for Spring - 2009-10-28 03:05:24-04
    The name L.L. Bean is more likely to evoke images of the great outdoors than the High Street. But the American brand is set to up its fashion standing with the launch of its signature collection. "This is for modern, everyday dressing," explained the brand's vice president, Chris Vickers. "My goal is not to challenge you. [...]
  12. Salvatore Ferragamo Marisa Bag | Stylish Black Calf Leather Handbag - 2009-10-28 04:05:34-04
    Salvatore Ferragamo keeps it simple with the Marisa, a timeless black leather carryall. It's crafted from supple calf leather, which feels so soft to the touch. This luxurious fabric gives the Marisa, with its gentle pleats, just a hint of slouch. While it's an opulent choice, it's not an ostentatious one. While croc and ostrich draw [...]
  13. Kate Spade Coney Island Stevie Satchel | Quilted Nylon Handbag with Button Detail - 2009-10-28 16:16:32-04
    I'm all for quilted handbags, but ones that look like down comforters or puffy vests make me hesitate a little. That's why I'm undecided on this Kate Spade Coney Island Stevie satchel. On one hand, I like the idea of a practical nylon handbag that's given a quilted design to set it apart from just any run-of-the-mill [...]
  14. Win the Michelle Trachtenberg Co-Designed Botkier "Michelle" Handbag from Style List - 2009-10-28 23:01:07-04
    Gossip Girl's Michelle Trachtenberg, who plays the scandalous Georgina Sparks on the show, recently collaborated with celebrity favorite Monica Botkier to design a handbag inspired by and named after the actress to benefit Oxfam International. Trachtenberg must be proud of her involvement since she's been spotted carrying the co-designed bag on the set of the television [...]
  15. Sondra Roberts Nevis Hobo | Chevron Multi Woven Brown Handbag - 2009-10-29 02:05:53-04
    I've seen many designers attempt to reinvent the popular hobo handbag, but none have done it quite like Sondra Roberts. The slouchy, relaxed profile we've come to expect is gone, replaced by a structured curved body. But the bohemian vibe isn't abandoned entirely, with natural canvas and twine fabrics woven together for an earthy feel. I [...]
  16. Bid on Designer Purses and Bag a Bargain at DashOfEnvy.com - 2009-10-29 03:05:52-04
    DashOfEnvy.com is a new entertainment shopping site which auctions off a different designer handbag every day. While you need to worry about fakes, beat-up old purses and unreliable sellers on eBay, DashOfEnvy.com takes away the guesswork by offering new and authentic accessories. There are some real bargains to be found too. A La Regale clutch recently [...]
  17. Steven by Steve Madden Animal Instincts Satchel | Black Pony Hair and Synthetic Handbag - 2009-10-29 04:05:58-04
    It might be basic black, but this Steve Madden Animal Instincts satchel will help you get in touch with your wild side. I've been on the fence with haircalf bags before, but by keeping the color conservative I think Steve Madden may have won me over. The surface looks soft and velvety rather than creepy and [...]
  18. Kate Spade Yuma Loren Clutch | Bright Yellow Tasseled Purse - 2009-10-29 06:49:20-04
    I feel, with the winter months encroaching, that a little dose of brightness may be in order. A drop or two of bright color needs to be injected into our wardrobes, to keep the long nights at bay and our spirits lifted. As Kate Spade has been all over the fashion blogs for the past few [...]
  19. Coloriffics Metallic Glittery Clutch | Smooth, Modern and Affordable Purse - 2009-10-29 12:40:15-04
    What with the Christmas party season fast approaching, now is the perfect time to start stocking up on your glitter. If you want a clutch that is glittery and metallic, yet without spending too much money, then this little purse form Coloriffics is a snap at $38 in either gold or silver. Of course, glitter isn't the [...]
  20. Alexis Hudson Martini Wristlet | Unique Pleated Leather Clutch - 2009-10-29 15:34:30-04
    This Martini wristlet from Alexis Hudson is quite the opposite from the similarly named Martini Glass zippered bag from SR Squared by Sondra Roberts. Whereas the Sondra Roberts version opts for a literal take on the name, Alexis Hudson's styling is much more abstract.  The Maritini wristlet has a unique sculptural quality to it that gives it [...]
  21. Baggu Introduces New Affordable and Eco-Friendly Duck Bag to Their Collection - 2009-10-29 23:26:41-04
    Baggu's line of reusable shopping totes are environmentally-friendly, durable, and as stylish as a replacement for plastic grocery bags can be. Actually, these tough, little ripstop nylon bags are popular for more than just supermarket shopping since their cute style options, including stripes, florals, and other prints, make them appropriate for everyday use as well. Well, now [...]
  22. Stone Mountain Phoenix Tote | Classic Stylish Black Leather Handbag - 2009-10-30 02:05:17-04
    The name Phoenix conjures an image of a purse rising from the ashes as the savior of the fashion industry. This tote doesn't really live up to that grandiose mental picture, but it is a classy creation nonetheless. It all starts with elegant black, buttery soft leather. The slightly flared shape adds interest, as does the [...]
  23. Versace Cuts Jobs | Designer Label's Financial Woes Continue - 2009-10-30 03:05:41-04
    Things seem to be going from bad to worse for European designer label Versace. Not even a month after the brand announced the closure of its Japanese stores comes news that 350 jobs will be cut. The positions will be cut from Versace's international talent pool by the middle of next year. Just like the closure [...]
  24. Tano French Nanny Handbag | Edgy Blue Leather Shoulder Bag - 2009-10-30 04:10:55-04
    I love the sassy spirit of this Tano French Nanny bag. It's got that European refinement, but there's a cheekiness which sets it apart. Tano's clever signature style is seen again in the French Nanny. This isn't a brand which embraces bells or bling. The front and back have a clean design, which allows the sexy [...]
  25. Big Buddha Nolita Shoulder Bag | Faux Suede Purse with Studs and Tassels - 2009-10-30 12:05:06-04
    Big Buddha hits multiple bag trends with this new stylish Nolita Shoulder Bag. From the overall shape to the details, this purse has a handful of features going for it. The Nolita is available in quite a few color options, but this rich purple is a great pop of color for the fall. It's my favorite [...]
  26. Jalda Kona Slouchy Clutch | Exotic and Brilliantly Bright Eel Skin Purse - 2009-10-30 12:24:00-04
    Exotic fabrics are alsways a great gimmick, and eel skin leather is one of the smoothest softest gimmicks around! I am a particular fan of this leather, and Jalda produce some of the most luxurious materials around. You pay for that luxury, but if you want something a bit special, that is always going to be the [...]

  28. Tignanello Touchables Belting Shopper | Belt Accent Lilac Leather Handbag - 2009-10-31 02:05:57-04
    If you're planning on braving the malls for a spot of Christmas bargain hunting, you'll need a good shopper in tow. While your best gal pal fits the bill, I'm thinking of a leather variety. Meet the Tignanello Touchables Belting Shopper. This is one of those special beauties which combines style and substance. Elegant stitched details [...]
  29. Laura Matthews Oversized Clutch | Shaded Patent Purse with Feature Clasp - 2009-10-31 15:35:07-04
    Finding a clutch that is individual and big enough to house all your belongings can be a bit of a task, but this Laura Matthews patent handbag can go some of the distance to filling the gap. Looks wise, this large clutch is interesting and eye catching. From the large abstract contrasting clasp to the sexy [...]
  30. Bulga Bairam Tote | Green Leather Tote with Organizing Pockets - 2009-10-31 17:11:18-04
    I'm a fan of Bulga handbags, but sometimes I think that the brand just modifies a few signature styles. In particular, the brand tends to favor a rounded-top satchel with double handles. The Bulga Marquis, Adore, and Zaraf satchels all follow this silhouette, and now the Bairam tote can join the bunch. As with the other designs, there [...]
  31. Pavina Handbag Holders Gain Celebrity Fans | Angelina Jolie, Nicole Richie, and Other Stars Hang Purses on Gem-Encrusted Hooks - 2009-11-01 20:11:11-05
    We all know what kind of germs and nasties lurk on floors, but let's face it. Most handbag hangers look a little cheap and nasty. Now Pavina has solved the problem with its stylish range of purse hooks. Take this gorgeous Olivine for example. This gem encrusted beauty does our designer handbags justice with its silver-toned [...]
  32. Hobo International Lori Clutch | Simple Black Leather Bag with Asymmetrical Design - 2009-11-01 21:13:05-05
    Leave it to Hobo International to take an asymmetrical design element and make it seem commonplace. Although this uniquely shaped Lori clutch isn't as unpredictable as other asymmetrical purses, there's a very chic simplicity to the style. I actually think it's a fantastic blend of contemporary aesthetic and a classic look. Hobo International could have just [...]
  33. Carlos Falchi Discusses His Impressive Past and Current Comeback - 2009-11-01 21:55:47-05
    Carlos Falchi's exotic skin designs are something to behold. His multiple decades of fashionable handbags were even commemorated earlier this year at Bergdorf Goodman. Despite his celebrated fashions and established status, the current economy has taken a toll on nearly every luxury company's sales. This along with other past financial mistakes has spurred Falchi to attempt a resurgence by [...]
  34. Tory Burch Nico Tote | East-West Style Metallic Pebble Leather Handbag - 2009-11-01 22:05:06-05
    Tory Burch has amped up the glam factor with this metallic Nico tote. It seems to be inspired by Andy Warhol's muse, but I can't imagine the Velvet Underground singer carrying anything quite this ostentatious. The boxy design is simple enough, and Tory Burch has been careful to keep the accents to a minimum, but there's [...]
  35. Treesje Metro Clutch | Modern Lambskin Leather Turnlock Purse - 2009-11-02 01:05:32-05
    While many clutch purses are strictly after five affairs, the contemporary good looks of Treesje's Metro make it just as appropriate for daytime toting. Complementary stitching around the borders of the purse and its flap add definition to the buttery soft lambskin. The sexy angular pleating in the centre adds even more structure to both front [...]

  37. Vera Bradley Small Tic Tac Tote | Cute Cloth Cross Design Handbag - 2009-11-02 03:05:07-05
    With its cute moniker and even cuter looks, the Tic Tac Tote could only be a Vera Bradley bag. The name comes from the subtle cross-hatch design with sits over Vera Bradley's signature vibrant prints. This pattern takes us back to childhood with its Tic Tac Toe board appearance. It's playful, but so skillfully done that [...]
