New at BagBunch: Betseyville Colorful Safari Wristlet | Betsey Johnson Animal Print Purse

Hi mary,

Check out the latest handbag fashion news and review at BagBunch.com:
  1. Betseyville Colorful Safari Wristlet | Betsey Johnson Animal Print Purse - 2010-03-15 18:24:32-04
    Here we have yet another over-the-top little purse from the dramatic designer Betsey Johnson. If you like subtlety and calm patterns, then this little wristlet probably isn't for you. However, if you like a combination of bright colours and bold shapes, then this may be just the statement piece that you need in your wardrobe. Whilst this [...]
  2. Marc Jacobs Boho Woven Leather Bag | Hippie Chic Woven Leather Hobo - 2010-03-15 19:18:50-04
    Marc Jacobs isn't really known for doing boho, but when he does do it, it's kind of perfect. This woven leather bag is a masterpiece of psychedelic proportions, and I think it's going to make major waves with hippie chics worldwide. This is a serious statement bag for bohemian types. The muted colors of the woven [...]
  3. Miu Miu Croc Print Leather Bag | Small White Shoulder Bag With Exotic Details - 2010-03-15 21:00:57-04
    Miuccia Prada once said that she thinks in Prada, but dreams in Miu Miu. The younger, more fanciful line is a little bit dreamier, but also a little more accessible in terms of price. This croc print bag retains some of the minimal Prada aesthetic in terms of shape and design, but adds the whimsy of [...]
  4. Marc Jacobs Pixie Studded Leather Bag | Fabulous Eye Catching Red Leather Bag With Stud Detail - 2010-03-16 01:00:02-04
    I should admit from the beginning that I have mixed feelings about this bag. Mixed, but not necessarily unreconciled. It has so many things to love; studs, red leather, grommets, you name it, but I wonder if it might be too much. The bucket shape is so retrolicious that it sort of saves the whole thing [...]
  5. Bourne Secile Clutch | Violet Snakeskin Leather Envelope Purse - 2010-03-16 02:05:55-04
    Bourne delivers an alternative to fussy and frothy evening purses with the refreshingly minimalist Secile. The Secile features a classic envelope style, rendered in snake print leather for a touch of the exotic. I say a touch, because this snake stamping is more subtle than many. It relies on texture rather than dark mottled markings to [...]
  6. Wallets Get High Tech Security Makeover with iWallet - 2010-03-16 03:05:23-04
    The humble wallet has gone high-tech with the launch of the iWallet. While it sounds like a cutting-edge musical device, the iWallet is actually a technologically advanced wallet designed to protect your cash and identity. This hard case wallet is fitted with a biometric reader. Just like the doors of a top secret spy agency, the [...]
  7. Cynthia Vincent Outlaw Clutch | Colorful Convertible Foldover Purse - 2010-03-16 04:05:05-04
    On spotting this Cynthia Vincent Outlaw clutch, I wondered whether it was wanted for crimes against fashion! However, perhaps I'm a bit hasty to judge this boldly colorful purse. The wild Western print is garish to be sure, with colors like green, fluorescent pink, and black seemingly competing for attention. There's no harmony to the design, [...]
  8. La Vie Devant Soie Silk Bags for Spring Give Cambodian Women Work - 2010-03-16 05:05:55-04
    La Vie Devant Soie has just released its spring/summer collection of cute and eco-friendly silk purses. While silk is often used for evening bags, La Vie Devant Soie reminds us that the fabric works just as well before five. Larger styles like the Gibralter, River, and this cute KBag are ideal for everyday use. Of course [...]
  9. Kate Spade Saddleback Susanna Hobo | Structured Equestrian Inspired Leather Handbag - 2010-03-16 06:05:30-04
    Kate Spade takes the hobo from Greenwich Village to a private school with the sophisticated Saddleback Susanna. While most hobos are slouchy, relaxed affairs this is a handbag with real pedigree. Equestrian inspired brown belted details complement the classic pebbled leather body. In cognac the look is traditional, but the contrasting charm of apricot or this [...]
  10. B. Makowsky Classics Washington Satchel | Luxurious Traditional Leather Handbag - 2010-03-16 09:01:34-04
    This is the third beautifully crafted handbag in the B. Makowsky Classics range. I have a strong respect for the classic and timeless beauty that is evident in a really well thought out satchel. The shape is without fail brilliantly practical, and I find that the somewhat staid design will work with any number of  outfits [...]
  11. Lanvin Amalia Cabas Metallic Leather Tote | Posh And Blingy Metallic Silver Tote With Chain Strap - 2010-03-16 16:18:50-04
    Lanvin says "French" like Marc Jacobs says "American". Who else could make a shiny metallic silver tote that is somehow posh and feminine? The classic shape of this tote helps diffuse the bling effect of the leather. Ordinarily, I don't think I would really like a metallic handbag, but this one has a discrete charm that [...]
  12. Tianni Beautiful Girl Canvas Tote | Fun Casual Graphic Print Handbag - 2010-03-17 02:05:52-04
    Tianni reminds us what real beauty is with this Beautiful Girl canvas tote. Tianni obviously prefers the girl next door to any glamour puss. This is a down-to-earth tote, practical and made for everyday outings rather than special occasions. It's made of durable canvas rather than a luxury fabric, although the range of four fashion shades [...]
  13. Vintage Bag Bargains at CHIC&youshallfind Online Store - 2010-03-17 03:05:05-04
    Forget rummaging through bargain bins at your local op shop; vintage fashion shopping has just gone digital with the launch of CHIC &youshallfind. The brainchild of Brenna Egan, a former fashion editor and Vogue staffer, the website offers vintage accessories and apparel at budget prices. A quick browse around the site already has me suffering from [...]
  14. Hype Janice Cross-Body Satchel | Large Luxury Beige Leather Convertible Shoulder Bag - 2010-03-17 04:05:42-04
    Hype shows us that wearing a cross-body bag doesn't mean you have to downsize with the Janice. This is a large satchel with buttery-soft glazed leather that slouches in all the right places. There's a lot going on here, with laced grommets down the sides and a textured center panel with knotted leather strips. These contemporary [...]
  15. Mulberry Dumps Indie Boutiques in Favor of Luxury Department Stores - 2010-03-17 05:05:25-04
    Mulberry appears to be turning its back on the small boutiques which once helped to establish its reputation. Sarah Thomas of Cowbridge handbag boutique ETcetera says Mulberry told her that unless she stocked other luxury brands, it would pull its purses. Word is that the label is removing its bags from many independent stores across the [...]
  16. B. Makowsky Westport Hobo | Luxury Leather Boho Bag with Braided Accent - 2010-03-17 06:05:43-04
    B. Makowsky puts a modern twist on the traditional hobo with the Westport. While it might sound like it came from an exclusive private school, the Westport isn't too different from any traditional hobo. It's more boho-chic than straight-laced, with slouchy soft leather and relaxed style. But the Westport isn't just another run-of-the-mill hobo bag. The front [...]
  17. Alexander McQueen Atlantis Plexi Clutch | Sleek Avant Garde Black Plastic Purse - 2010-03-17 17:46:47-04
    The day Alexander McQueen died was a seriously sad day for Fashion, folks. He was a giant, a rule-breaker, and a tastemaker. His vision lives on in his work, and this Atlantis clutch is the perfect example. I know this bag isn't going to be for a lot of people, but it isn't supposed to be. [...]
  18. Treesje Rebel Hobo Bag | Bold Electric Blue Handbag with Piping Accents - 2010-03-18 02:05:05-04
    Treesje brings attitude to the traditional hobo with this Rebel bag. It's not entirely the bad boy that its name suggests though. The piping detail which adorns the front and back are eye-catching, but not too outlandish. The colors also aren't typical of a hobo. While most hobos favor classic earth tones, you'll find the Rebel [...]
  19. Drunk Kelly Brook Throws Up in Hermes Birkin Bag - 2010-03-18 03:05:59-04
    Let this be a lesson to you: alcohol and designer handbags don't mix. British actress and television personality Kelly Brook found out the hard way after a recent bender. The Brit reportedly got so drunk that she ruined her Hermes Birkin bag, worth an estimated £1,600! "I ended up being sick in it," the actress told Heat [...]
  20. Kathy Van Zeeland Lounge Lizard Hobo | Faux Leather Slouchy Bag with Side Studs - 2010-03-18 04:05:05-04
    The Lounge Lizard is a surprisingly restrained hobo from Kathy Van Zeeland. Honestly, I did a double take when I first spotted this bag. I couldn't believe that such a subtle creation came from the designer known for her love of sparkling rhinestones and zebra stripes. Not that the Lounge Lizard is without its embellishments, but [...]
  21. Cole Haan Shuns Models for Inspired Life Advertising Campaign - 2010-03-18 05:05:41-04
    Cole Haan has released a very different advertising campaign to promote its latest collection. Rather than relying on gorgeous models and artsy styling to sell its new fashions, Cole Haan has released a more realistic campaign called The Inspired Life. The advertisements star everyday people who are doing extraordinary things with their life. The ads star [...]
  22. Inge Christopher Armadillo Flap Clutch | Exotic Textured Layered Tier Metallic Purse - 2010-03-18 06:05:46-04
    I thought I'd seen exotic purses mimicking every animal imaginable, but it seems I was wrong. Meet the Armadillo Flap Clutch from Inge Christopher. Now before you animal activists get up in arms, note that I said this clutch was merely mimicking armadillo. It's actually made from leather stamped with an exotic texture inspired by the [...]
  23. Mary Frances White Dahlia Evening Bag | Dramatic Floral Layered Purse - 2010-03-18 09:23:04-04
    Mary Frances isn't known for her subtle designs - but if you want a wedding suitable evening bag then you probably couldn't get more apt than the White Dahlia purse! I like flowers on bags, but this collection of cream and ivory beauties may be a little over the top for even the keenest gardener! You not only [...]
  24. Tommy Hilfiger Iconic Striped Tote | Nautical Navy & Red Handbag - 2010-03-18 17:20:24-04
    Tommy Hilfiger uses those signature stripes to create a tote that is as nautical as it gets. Unless you don't like the sailor look, then you will probably be pleased by the current on-trend combination of red, navy and white. Personally I love the combination, and every time it comes into fashion I take the opportunity [...]
  25. Marc by Marc Jacobs R Special Colorblock Derby Purse | Simple Oval Cross Body Bag - 2010-03-19 02:05:22-04
    I've lusted after many a Marc Jacobs bag, but with the R Special Colorblock Derby Purse the designer fails to make my pulse race. The problem here is that it's all so ordinary. The oval shape gave the purse great potential, but Jacobs didn't do enough with it. With the recent retro revival colorblocked patterns are [...]
  26. Karl Lagerfield Teams Up with Hogan for Capsule Fashion Collection - 2010-03-19 03:05:39-04
    Karl Lagerfield is a busy man! Not content with designing for Chanel, the 76-year-old has teamed up with Hogan for a capsule collection. "For Hogan, he [Karl] will reinterpret all the iconic elements in both apparel and accessories, which will help raise Hogan's visibility in Asia and especially in China," explained Diego Della Valle, Lagerfield's long-time [...]
  27. Latico Cris Cris Foldover Clutch | Modern Soft Burgundy Leather Purse - 2010-03-19 04:05:29-04
    Latico shows us that clutches don't have to be covered in frills or frippery. Instead the brand plays it straight with this Cris Cris Foldover Clutch. The simple boxy shape has a slight slouch thanks to the softer than soft leather finish. Latico has triple milled the skin to create its most sumptuous leather yet. This [...]
  28. Bulgari Focuses on Handbags in New Business Plan - 2010-03-19 05:05:01-04
    I drooled over the Chandra purse draped over Julianne Moore's naked arm in the latest Bulgari advertisement, and the good news is that there's many more where that came from. The company's CEO says he wants to double the brand's bag production over the next three to five years. "We are not known for accessories; people [...]
  29. Betsey Johnson Heart of Gold Bucket Bag | Fun Feminine Camel Colored Leather Handbag - 2010-03-19 06:05:40-04
    Oversized bows are right on trend, and where there's a trend you can guarantee Betsey Johnson will not be too far behind. This is just as flamboyant and fun as any Betsey Johnson bag, and in this camel color I love it! I'm less convinced by the lurid pink option, although I'm sure it'll be right [...]
  30. Prezzo Vintage Shoulder Bag | Multicolored Snakeskin & Animal Print Purse - 2010-03-19 09:07:17-04
    Affordable handbag brand Prezzo has gone all out to try and create a handbag that channels a vintage vibe for less than $50. I can see what Prezzo have tried to do with this multicolor shoulder bag. They have tried to use retro snakeskin patterns, vintage style tapestry panels, and lines of detailed beading to pull [...]
  31. Etienne Aigner Tucson Tote | Traditional Formal Floral Bag - 2010-03-19 18:01:57-04
    From one vintage bag, to another. This one, unlike the bag I wrote about earlier, is just the sort of thing that I would buy for work and play! The Tuscan tote looks like it is worth more than the utterly reasonable $69.99 they are charging. The classic vintage styling, with a tapestry-esque floral fabric and synthetic [...]
  32. Helena de Natalio Sofi Satchel Bag | Unstructured Slouchy Oversized Leather Handbag - 2010-03-20 02:05:24-04
    Helena de Natalio takes slouchy to new levels with this lush Sofi satchel. The Argentinean leather is gorgeous with its subtle grain and buttery soft finish. This sumptuous fabric helps the Sofi to slouch in all the right places. This gives the satchel a devil-may-care nonchalance which is oh so appealing. At least, it is while you're [...]
  33. Liz Claiborne's Husband Releases Biography About Late Wife - 2010-03-20 03:05:47-04
    Art Ortenberg, the husband and business partner of the late Liz Claiborne has just released a biography about the fashion icon. Liz Claiborne: The Legend, The Woman details the rise of the couple's fashion label, their charity work, and their personal lives together. It promises to be a revealing read for fashion and biography fans alike, [...]
  34. J. Tiras Lucy Clutch | Stunning Moon Shaped Gemstone Evening Purse - 2010-03-20 04:05:02-04
    If you're looking to make a style statement at your next high class event, consider stepping out with the J. Tiras Lucy. Everything about this purse begs for attention, from the unusual half-moon shape to all those glittering transparent gems. The Lucy is covered in sparkling stones, but the choice of clear jewels makes it look [...]
  35. Quirky and Practical GasCase Steel Suitcases Make Travel Style Statement - 2010-03-20 05:05:53-04
    If your suitcase is just one of the crowd at the baggage carousel, feast your eyes on the GasCase. These quirky travel bags are guaranteed to stand out in a crowd! The name is pretty self explanatory, as these unusual trolley bags look like they're made from a car's gas case! But it's not simply a [...]
  36. Giuseppe Zanotti Studded Clutch | Fold Over Tan Leather Purse - 2010-03-20 12:12:39-04
    Giuseppe Zanotti generally goes for very expensive and very eccentric designs - yet this clutch is actually quite subtle! What a rarity! OK, so the simple design may not have hard-core Zanotti fans in throes of excitement, but I actually prefer it. You can see the luxury quality of the materials this way, with smooth and soft [...]
  37. Nine West Neves Tote | Multi Layered Flower Shopper - 2010-03-20 20:04:21-04
    This feminine shopper is the most recent addition to the sexy Neves line. I love these bags. As a massive fan of stylised flowers on handbags anyway, it was unlikely that I would see a tote constructed entirely out of a large flower with a copious amount of layers and simply not be swayed. However, if [...]
  38. Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mini Satchel | Sophisticated Pint-Sized Day Bag - 2010-03-21 12:17:28-04
    Rebecca Minkoff isn't unfamiliar with creating cute and tiny mini bags for her day job. However, this royal blue and brown satchel really takes the biscuit in terms of design. An unusual color combination like these two shades is always a good place to start when creating an attractive yet individual handbag. I have always been [...]
  39. Whiting & Davis Graphix Clutch | Sixties Style Lucite Frame Clutch - 2010-03-21 17:52:11-04
    Whiting & Davis are getting more and more creative with their mesh handbag designs - and the Graphix clutch takes that creativity into the swinging sixties. The vintage vibe doesn't just come from the swirling black and silver psychedelic patterns built into the slouchy metal mesh body. It also comes from that gorgeous smooth black Lucite [...]
  40. ZeMis Releases Serengeti Bags for Wonders of the World Collection - 2010-03-21 22:22:21-04
    Accessories label ZeMis has taken its inspiration from the Serengeti for its new spring/summer collection. The safari-styled handbags are made from luxury fabrics embellished with African beads. "Serengeti is clearly a must-see destination with its 'chaotic harmony' of predators and prey constantly moving in herds," explained ZeMis' designer and founder Lindy Castillo. "We are hoping to [...]
  41. Elaine Turner Gidget Bucket Tote | Woven Synthetic Coffeebean Beach Bag - 2010-03-22 00:20:10-04
    You'll be just as adorable as a young Sally Field when you hit the shore with this Gidget bucket tote. This Elaine Turner bag looks like a typical woven straw tote, but it's actually crafted from a synthetic grasscloth alternative. It might not sound as luxurious, but this choice should make the Gidget more durable than [...]
  42. British Fashion Retail Giant Joseph Ettedgui Loses Cancer Battle - 2010-03-22 00:44:57-04
    Joseph Ettedgui, British fashion pioneer and the founder of the retail store Joseph, has passed away at the age of 71 after a long battle with cancer. "We were the three musketeers," Joseph's brother Maurice told Women's Wear Daily of the bond between himself, Joseph, and their brother Franklin. "We worked together all our lives. I'll [...]
  43. Big Buddha Tiffany Clutch | Affordable Vintage Snake Embossed Buckle Purse - 2010-03-22 01:31:25-04
    Big Buddha gives us vintage style for less with the Tiffany clutch. While the looks might resemble the elegant 1950s, the quality doesn't quite stack up. The body isn't real snakeskin, or even embossed leather, but the synthetic skin with its patent shine does a good impression of a more luxe fabric. That's helped by the [...]
  44. Steven Alan Adds Handbags to Fashion Range - 2010-03-22 03:05:52-04
    Preppy fashion label Steven Alan will expand its fashion empire to include handbags this fall. The brand will start small, with a capsule collection featuring just six handbag styles. Steven Alan promises to release several traditional purse designs, including hobos, satchels, and shoulder bags, all with a distinctly equestrian vibe. The combination of bridled leather and [...]
  45. Treesje Studded Exposed Hobo | Soft Leather Seamed and Stitched Textured Handbag - 2010-03-22 04:35:50-04
    Treesje dresses up the current taste for studs with this Studded Exposed Hobo. Tiny studs are the supporting players here, quietly complementing the leather's lush seamed texture. This is a gorgeous surface, with the seams mimicking diagonal pleats. They are then offset by subtle stitching running in the opposite direction. From a distance I thought it [...]
  46. Colorful Bags and Clothes at New Shopping Website ColourfulFashion.com - 2010-03-22 05:05:17-04
    If you're tired of basic black and beige, feast your eyes on the rainbow of affordable accessories at ColourfulFashion.com. This new shopping website offers a vivid array of clothes, handbags, and other style must haves from up-and-coming brands like Fiorelli, Bulaggi, and Savage Culture. I love this emphasis on emerging labels; it gives [...]
  47. Santi Sequined Evening Clutch | Rainbow Abstract Pattern Purse - 2010-03-22 09:47:13-04
    You don't necessarily expect subtlety from a handbag brand who specialise in sequins - but this fabulous rainbow bag from Santi brings a whole new meaning to the word "unsubtle"! Don't take bright colours and metallic sequins as negative things. In fact, I think the range of shades and funky abstract pattern actually work for this little [...]
