- Straw Studios Woven Basket | Contrasting Snakeskin Retro Clutch - 2009-11-16 16:50:21-05
I am always on the lookout for a brilliant little piece of handbag art, and this synthetic leather and straw clutch is one of my favorite recent finds. A cute straw basket bag always goes down well in vintage and retro inspired circles. The effect is especially strong when you have a piece like this, which [...]
- Chinese Laundry Addison Double Handle Tote | Gathered Synthetic Bag with Buckled Detail - 2009-11-16 17:18:56-05
The Chinese Laundry Addison Tote is a little confusing at first glance. The shape is both structured and yet gathered and slouchy all at the same time. There's quite a bit going on with this handbag, but the blend of details is unique and interesting. The Addison's relatively square silhouette, though a common feature of a [...]
- Blake Lively Rumored to Star in Victoria Beckham's Spring 2010 Campaign - 2009-11-16 22:33:29-05
Apparently Victoria "Posh" Beckham and Gossip Girl star Blake Lively share more in common than an urge to display an inordinate amount of cleavage in public. The two have reportedly become BFF's since hitting it off at New York Fashion Week a couple of months ago. Now rumors are spreading that Blake, a.k.a. Serena van der Woodsen, will be the new [...]
- Big Buddha Mia Handbag | Affordable Synthetic Snakeskin Rose Bag - 2009-11-17 01:05:46-05
In the tradition of Valentino's Rose handbags comes this more affordable, yet far less luxurious, Big Buddha Mia bag. If your budget can stretch, I'd pass this one over for the Valentino alternative. While the rose is just as flirty and feminine, the stiff synthetic doesn't fall as softly as an authentic leather would. The snakeskin [...]
- Louis Vuitton Lover Ashley Tisdale Asks for New Handbag This Christmas - 2009-11-17 02:05:58-05
High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale should be able to afford most trinkets that catch her eye, but the 24-year-old star is still working on her Christmas wish list. Her most wanted item this year? A new purse of course! "I love handbags, so I'm hoping for a new handbag," she told media at Bauer Publishing's [...]
- Botkier Taylor Satchel | Large Black Italian Leather Tasseled Handbag - 2009-11-17 03:05:28-05
Finding a cross-body purse that can fit more than a wallet and keys can be challenging, but Botkier has stepped up to fill the fashion void with the Taylor. This bohemian styled satchel is crafted from buttery soft Italian lambskin for that hobo-style slouch. Tiny pinched pleats create stripes from the top to the base. Thin, [...]
- Guess Lulin Mini Clutch | Feminine and Delicate Leather Bow Purse - 2009-11-17 17:29:30-05
Guess have gone all out with this tiny little clutch to make it as delicate, feminine and girly as possible - and they may just have achieved their ambitions. By keeping this clutch as a mini bag, Guess have avoided making this bag an over-the-top pink nightmare. In small doses, and with a well-planned outfit, this [...]
- Magid Crystal Stone Clutch | Affordable Manmade Jeweled Evening Bag - 2009-11-17 20:41:29-05
We all have outfits that call for a slightly dressier than average type of handbag, but budgets often don't accommodate for the prices of Swarovski-studded, intricately detailed designer styles. For a truly affordable evening bag, Magid is definitely one of the brands to seek out. Though you won't get super high quality materials, this brand has [...]
- Claudia Schiffer Ready to Start Own Fashion Label | Possibly to Include Handbags and Cashmere Goods - 2009-11-18 00:14:19-05
Claudia Schiffer's modeling career is still in full swing with advertising campaigns for Salvatore Ferragamo and Chanel, but that's not stopping her from venturing into a new branch of her fashion career. After years of showcasing other designers' goods, Schiffer recently revealed an interest in launching her own fashion brand. She certainly wouldn't be the first [...]
- Bottega Veneta Cushion Bag | Unique Black Leather Mosaico Cervo Handbag - 2009-11-18 01:05:36-05
I've seen so many woven handbags from Bottega Veneta that they're almost starting to get boring. So I was excited to see this very different looking purse from the Italian fashion house. It's not just a new look for Bottega Veneta. The Cushion Bag looks like no bag I've ever seen more, and when you see [...]
- Karl Lagerfield Won't Retire | Age No Concern to Chanel Creative Director - 2009-11-18 02:05:06-05
We can look forward to many more gorgeous handbags and nutty comments from Chanel creative director and famous egomaniac Karl Lagerfield. One of fashion's most colorful characters told Germany's Freundin magazine he has no plans for retirement. "Retirement is not one of the topics with which I deal. Why should I? I still have so many [...]
- Bulga Misa Hobo Bag | Medium Silver Snakeskin Purse with Pockets - 2009-11-18 03:05:05-05
Bulga delivers a glitzy glamourpuss of a purse in the Misa hobo. While it's called a hobo, it doesn't have the crescent shape or boho feel we associate with these type of bags. Sure it's slouchy, but so are a lot of purses. In fact, the Misa bears a striking resemblance to the De Beber satchel! [...]
- Whiting and Davis Striped Mesh Clutch | Contrasting Shine and Matte Purse - 2009-11-18 08:50:31-05
Yes, at first glance this is just yet another metal mesh bag from mesh experts, Whiting & Davis. It is hard to get wildly excited about another clutch that follows the same traditional slouchy metallic shape with a formal frame clasp. If you ignore the Whiting & David heritage, however, and see this bag as a [...]
- B. Makowsky Brasilia E/W Satchel | Croc-Embossed Leather Handbag with Front Pocket - 2009-11-18 16:56:10-05
Embossed leather is the way to go when you want the look of exotic material without the price tag. Whether using the technique on real leather or manmade material, brands have caught on to the popular trend, and embossed bags of crocodile, ostrich, snakeskin, and more are flooding in. There are two things about this croc-embossed Brasilia satchel [...]
- Jessica Jensen Origami Tote | Sophisticated Structural Leather Hold-all - 2009-11-18 17:16:36-05
It is lovely to see an origami style bag that isn't just a tiny clutch. Here that beautiful structural design style is expanded to fit within a tote sized purse, and the result is fun to look at. I feel that this tote is somewhat disproportionate. The long body and relatively short handles make it look rather [...]
- Christie's Auction House to Launch "Gucci Collector" Website for Vintage Item Appraisals - 2009-11-18 20:08:29-05
Gucci has always been vigilant to crack down on counterfeiting and trademark infringement, but now they're taking a new angle on brand protection. This time, however, they aren't fighting the fight alone. Legendary auction house Christie's is teaming up with the luxury brand to provide a "trusted venue for transactions of vintage Gucci items," according to Gucci's [...]
- Bulgari Dalia Shoulder Bag | Elegant Hobo Style Calf Leather Purse - 2009-11-19 01:05:30-05
Bulgari's Dalia bag has been spotted on the arms of Jessica Alba, Eva Mendes, and Frieda Pinto. But it's not hard to see why. The relaxed hobo-like slouch of buttery soft leather combines with the simple, sophisticated design makes this Bulgari purse the ideal day-to-night accessory. This is one bag that gives us options, although none [...]
- Burberry Lizzie Handbag | Nappa Leather Convertible Studded Purse - 2009-11-19 03:05:30-05
Burberry is one of those labels I love to hate. I get tired of the brand's iconic plaid purses, but when it steps out of the box the designs tend to fall flat. But Burberry seems to have gotten it right with the Lizzie. And there's not a hint of tartan in sight! Instead the Lizzie [...]
- Moschino Vernice Luce Tote | Luxury Designer Patent Shoulder Bga - 2009-11-19 07:47:51-05
When you can get $4k off a bag in a sale, and it can still cost over $3k, you know that you have a really expensive bag. No surprise then that this sophisticated yet understated patent purse is from handbag icon, Moschino. If you are a designer handbag addict who loves having a good name and [...]
- Liz Claiborne Crocodile Wristlet | Traditional Vintage-Style Purse - 2009-11-19 17:18:32-05
This Liz Claiborne wristlet brings posh and sophisticated class to an unusual shape. Crocodile print, with its spacious pattern, is generally saved for bigger purses and vintage bags. To see it being used surprisingly effectively for a little clutch is a great change. The styling of this wristlet is entirely vintage. Whilst wrist straps weren't common back then, [...]
- Blake Lively Won't Front Victoria Beckham Ad Campaign - 2009-11-19 18:16:08-05
They might be bosom buddies, but Blake Lively won't model for Victoria Beckham's new fashion line. Victoria's spokesperson told Vogue.com he's unsure what prompted the rumor, but that it's definitely not true. "I don't know where this one has come from - other than from Blake being a fan of the Victoria Beckham collection," he said. [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Pretty Nylon Tate | Sturdy Tote Bag with Logo Stitching - 2009-11-19 21:38:54-05
I'm fairly certain that the words "pretty" and "nylon" don't go together all that often when it comes to high fashion, but evidently Marc Jacobs is attempting to change that with the Pretty Nylon Tate collection from his trendy designer line Marc by Marc Jacobs. It's by no means the first time a designer brand has utilized [...]
- Chanel Creates Limited Edition 2.55 Handbag for Boutique Opening in Melbourne - 2009-11-20 00:07:18-05
Among its architectural masterpieces and other urban attractions, Melbourne, Australia also boasts the largest shopping center in the Southern Hemisphere. Chadstone, or rather "Chaddy" as it is sometimes referred to by locals, is home to a various collection of shops that ranges from Target to Tiffany's. The luxury fashion precinct of Chadstone is actually a new addition, though. [...]
- Calvin Klein Metallic Pleats Hobo | Mini Hematite Leather Purse - 2009-11-20 01:05:02-05
This cute hobo from Calvin Klein is more uptown glamour girl than flower power princess, thanks to its sexy metallic shine. The genuine leather gives the Metallic Pleats hobo a little slouch, but it's not as pronounced as many bags of this type. The stitched pleats create extra structure and style, which makes this purse a [...]
- Burberry's Future Focuses on Handbags and Shoes - 2009-11-20 02:05:52-05
Burberry plans to shift its focus to handbags and shoes in the face of the financial crisis. The British brand reported lower pre-tax profits this year, mainly due to falling apparel sales. However, there is a silver lining, with profits up for leather goods, casual handbags, and shoes. "One of the highlights is that handbags represent half [...]
- Carlos Falchi for Target Satchel | Affordable Large Green Faux Snakeskin Bag - 2009-11-20 03:05:30-05
Carlos Falchi has captured his signature style for less with this satchel, part of his capsule collection for department store Target. Of course, to make this purse so affordable there are compromises made. There's not a hint of genuine python in the snakeskin collage body. The glossy finish probably gives that away, but by keeping the [...]
- Steve Madden Ruffle Satchel | Spacious Abstract Shoulder Bag - 2009-11-20 08:20:37-05
I am impressed by how top-end designer this ruffled satchel from Steven Madden actually looks. I think it is the design that makes this reasonably affordable handbag look quite so posh. The ruffles aren't just layered like bags normally do, instead being cut from the same synthetic leather in unpredictable patterns. In an abstract way, they [...]
- Whiting & Davis Lizzy Clutch | Metal Mesh and Lizard Embossed Leather Bag - 2009-11-21 00:32:58-05
This Whiting & Davis design is truly a unique find. With its combination of texture, material, and vibrant color, the Lizzy Clutch makes for one fun, little evening bag. The overall silhouette is fairly typical for a clutch. However, the structured and geometric v-shaped closure and bottom panel that meet in the middle combined with slightly [...]
- Alexander Wang Channels Football for Spring 2010 Collection | Preview of New Handbags - 2009-11-21 00:59:14-05
It's hard to believe that any high fashion designer would draw inspiration from the world of sports, but that's exactly what got Alexander Wang motivated for his new Spring 2010 collection that was recently revealed on the catwalk: football. Instead of tough, edgy, and majorly studded, this new line is sporty chic with an almost vintage-ish feel. When viewing images of the [...]
- Celestina Maricel Soriano Clutch | Red Abalone Shell Evening Purse - 2009-11-21 01:05:27-05
Celestina impresses again with this gorgeous Maricel Soriano clutch. This dazzling evening purse is hand crafted from a red abalone shell. No designer's handiwork could equal the pearly mottled finish on the glossy surface Mother Nature's created. The round shell fits neatly into a copper frame. This beautiful clutch closes at the top with a gray [...]
- Bulgari Goes Vintage for 125th Anniversary | New Handbags Inspired by Classic Designs - 2009-11-21 02:05:01-05
Bulgari has gone back to the vault to celebrate its 125th anniversary. The Italian luxury brand has revived classic collections – the Doppio Tondo, Leoni, Collezione 1910, and Twist – but given them modern makeovers. The Doppio Tondo line retains the distinctive double overlapped round metallic rings engraved with the double "Bulgari" logo. These double rings [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Bowler | Simple But Spacious Hold-all - 2009-11-21 10:01:42-05
Marc Jacobs have gone for industrial functional looks with this simple leather bowler. In saffron colored leather, this is a purse without any embellishments. Instead of fancy pockets or linings, Marc by Marc Jacobs have kept the focus on retro typeface decoration and high class materials. This simple approach does make a specious bag. There are no [...]
- Botkier Orion Fuchsia Evening Bag | Unique and Unusual Funky Purse - 2009-11-21 16:52:51-05
A truly unique and eye catching bag design is worth shelling out on, and this Botkier Orion shoulder bag is definitely unique. The shape of this purse is the biggest selling point. It adds a wonderful dose of structure, and the firm quality of the smooth leather is a great contrast. I particularly enjoy the cute but [...]
- Aspinal of London Mock Snakeskin Clutch Giveaway at My Fashion Life - 2009-11-21 19:43:34-05
Aspinal of London might not specialize in handbags alone, but the luxurious designs they offer customers in that category are very much worth considering. In addition to everything from apparel to housewares, the company has their artisan handmade bag crafting down to an art. The Kylie Purse Clutchfits right in with Aspinal of London's classy collections with [...]
- Botkier Cooper Convertible Hobo | Business Professional to Casual Adaptable Handbag - 2009-11-21 19:44:00-05
This clever Botkier Cooper handbag will literally take you from the board room to a casual after-hours dinner with a quick switch of handles. During business hours, the Cooper Convertible Hobo functions as a chic but professional-looking work tote with supple leather material and classic briefcase-style short handles. It's the type of bag you can use carry around various paperwork [...]
- Celine Gemmium Corset Clutch | Bold Convertible Retro Satin Fuchsia Purse - 2009-11-22 01:05:10-05
This sassy Gemmium Corset clutch from Celine is the ideal antidote to all those prim and proper evening purses. The basic flap design and satin fabric is classic, but what sets the Gemmium Corset clutch apart is the treatment after that. Instead of reserved black or ivory, this purse comes in shocking fuchsia pink. Faceted pink [...]
- Rafe Pixie Sequined Clutch | Sparkling Studded Foldover Purse - 2009-11-22 06:49:49-05
Rafe have produced a great accessory for the Christmas party season, with this glitzy and glamorous clutch. Whilst this silver purse looks like it is made out of metal mesh, it is actually a sequin print pattern, giving you all that sparkle in combination with the soft leather. Much more suitable for cold winter evenings than mesh, [...]
- Chanel Model Daul Kim Commits Suicide | Young Model Found Hanging in Apartment - 2009-11-22 19:14:27-05
She was the face of the new Chanel advertising campaign and described as Karl Lagerfield's latest "muse." But that wasn't enough to convince South Korean beauty Daul Kim that life was worth living. The 20-year-old model was found hanging in her Parisian apartment on Thursday. Emergency services were called to the apartment in the trendy 10th [...]
- Treesje Duchess Clutch | Metallic Pink Pleated Linen Bag with Bow - 2009-11-22 21:14:04-05
Though there's not much I dislike about this bag, the Duchess Clutch's design elements are probably the furthest from what I'd expect from typically edgy and contemporary Treesje. Pink, linen, pleated, and detailed with a bow sound like descriptions that would fit a brand more like Lauren Merkin than this designer label. Feminine details aren't completely out of the ordinary for Treesje since ruffles and ruching [...]
- Grace Kelly Outfits to be Showcased at Victoria & Albert Museum | Original Hermes Kelly Bag Included - 2009-11-22 22:33:30-05
Grace Kelly is one of those legendary style icons that will always be brought up when fabulous fashion sense, past or present, is discussed. Even decades later, her undeniably chic and feminine looks still provide inspiration for many of today's designers. Her often-imitated, ladylike style is soon to be celebrated through a new display at the Victoria and Albert Museum [...]
- Chanel Sharpei Tote Bag | Large Wrinkled Black Lambskin Carryall - 2009-11-23 01:05:37-05
With all the high-class breeding of a pedigree pooch comes Chanel's Sharpei Tote. The canine inspired moniker comes from the purse's wrinkled sides. This ruched detail combines with the buttery soft lambskin to create a slouchy, relaxed style. It's soft and feminine, but I'm still not entirely convinced. It looks like the purse could easily collapse [...]
- Shanghai Prepares to Open Chanel Store | Karl Lagerfield Designs Exclusive Handbags for Opening - 2009-11-23 02:05:00-05
On November 25 Chanel will open the doors to its first boutique in Shanghai. Architect Peter Marino designed the store in the image of Coco Chanel's Parisian apartment. The European influence is a fitting one, with Shanghai often described as "the Paris of the East." The residential feel is enhanced by hand-picked artworks and antiques. Amongst [...]
- Charles David Gatsby Leather Shopper | Tomato Red Handbag with Tan Accents - 2009-11-23 03:05:15-05
It's got a grand name drawing from classic literature, but the Gatsby Leather Shopper is definitely a modern gal. Where a more traditional handbag may have featured complementary accents, the Gatsby dares to be different with tan leather trim. The brown details clash delightfully with either tomato red or bone leather. The front pockets appear to [...]
- Betsey Johnson The Croc Pot Satchel | Crocodile Print PVC Purse - 2009-11-23 07:58:39-05
Betsey Johnson loves her girlie bags, and has been accused of going a little bit over-the-top in the past. This satchel definitely pushes the boundaries, do you love it or hate it? The basic premise of this crocodile print purse is actually quite delicate. The blue lines against the glossy black PVC are stylish elegant combination, and if the [...]
