- Samsonite Silhouette 11 Boston Bag | Basic Black Practical Carry-All Travel Handbag - 2010-03-29 05:05:17-04
Samsonite plays it safe with this Silhouette 11 Boston Bag. While that may bother some fashion fans who favor flash and flair, the practical appeal of this soft-bodied bag has won me over. At first glance the nylon body seems like an uninspired choice. It certainly doesn't arouse the kind of envy that buttery soft leather [...]
- Bourne Madeline Flower Wristlet | Ruffled Structured Evening Bag - 2010-03-29 17:08:56-04
If you want a black evening bag with style, then this Madeline wristlet may just take the biscuit. If there is one thing Bourne understands, it is structure. Bags such as his Izzy clutch demonstrate a knowledge of creating something dramatic and beautiful, but without taking it too far. The same has been done with the [...]
- Marc Jacobs The Small Parachute Bag | Shiny Silver Eye-Catching Bucket Bag With Pleating Detail - 2010-03-29 22:51:00-04
There's no doubt about it, Marc Jacobs is a trendsetter. His designs are always fashion forward and completely ahead of the pack. Being a trendsetter, however, means that sometimes his designs aren't well received. I have a feeling that this Parachute bag is going to be one of those misunderstood accessories. Let's be honest, here. This [...]
- Ed Hardy Bitsy Shoulder Bag | Small Synthetic and Nylon Tattoo Print Bag with Tassel - 2010-03-30 02:05:17-04
Ed Hardy combines equal measures of streetwise style and hippie chic to create this Bitsy shoulder bag. Colorful tattoo style graphics and edgy grommets bring the urban style. These details almost seem at odds with the long bohemian style tassel which adorns the front flap. The elements may not work easily together, but for some reason [...]
- Gucci Revamps Bamboo Bags for Limited Edition Line - 2010-03-30 03:05:22-04
Gucci is bringing back its iconic Bamboo Bag for a brand new limited edition line. The original Gucci Bamboo was released way back in 1947. The Japanese bamboo accented purse quickly became one of the world's first It bags in the 1950s and 60s. Taking its cues from this historical handbag, the new Bamboo combines Gucci's traditions [...]
- Lulu Guinness Opens Up About Accepting New Opinions for Fashion Success - 2010-03-30 05:05:46-04
She may be the head of an iconic British fashion brand, but Lulu Guinness knows she isn't always right. In a recent interview with Stylist magazine, 40-year-old Lulu admitted that she's become more receptive to the opinions of others as she's matured. "When I was younger I tended to be very headstrong - I thought I knew [...]
- Lucky Brand Roadside Attraction Leather Bowler Bag | Brown Western Inspired Handbag - 2010-03-30 06:05:59-04
Lucky Brand takes the bowler bag to a down south diner with this Roadside Attraction. It's an inspired take on the bowler. The distinctive domed shape of these handbags tends to take us back to the swinging sixties, but with a few cleverly chosen accents this one gets a Western vibe. The whipstitch trim, lacy details, [...]
- Serpui Marie Rattan Box Clutch | Woven Exotic Purse - 2010-03-30 07:45:26-04
This Serpui Marie box clutch is an exotic and interesting creation. I am writing about this summery bag now, because at $220 you are likely to have to start saving up now in order to be able to buy it as soon as the sun comes out. OK, so that might be an exaggeration - but [...]
- Lanvin Le Genereux Soir Silk Bag | Chic Pale Pink Silk Clutch With Wrapped Chain Strap - 2010-03-30 10:00:15-04
Lanvin is the oldest surviving couture house in Paris. Everyone thinks that it's Chanel, but Lanvin predates Chanel by ages. So, all the fashion that we think of as French that we also associate as Chanel actually has an earlier precursor. You can totally see those Parisian roots coming through in this clutch. The pale burnished [...]
- Christian Louboutin Carillon Quilted Leather Clutch | Unusual And Elegant Leather Evening Bag With Perforated Metal Detail - 2010-03-30 13:56:06-04
Christian Louboutin is a megalith in the fashion accessories world. He basically brought back the stiletto, and his signature red-soled heel is as iconic as any object I can think of. Thankfully, he also does for handbags what he does for purses. This is one of the most interesting evening bags I have seen in a [...]
- Bally Mario/61 Briefcase | Classic Dark Brown Leather Flap Office Bag - 2010-03-31 02:05:33-04
When I spotted this Mario briefcase I could barely believe it was made by Bally. Where is the personality and pizzazz? While this office bag may not be what we expect from the brand, it definitely does the job. While its lack of flair may disappoint Bally fans at first, we must remember what that job [...]
- Christian Dior Advertises with Marion Cotillard Ad, David Lynch Film - 2010-03-31 03:05:54-04
French actress Marion Cotillard has winged her way to Shanghai for the latest Christian Dior advertisement. The exciting image continues the series starring Marion as the jetsetting secret agent Lady Dior. Steven Klein shot the advertisement, which is titled Lady Blue. This advertisement is the third in the four chapter series. To coincide with its release, [...]
- Stone Mountain Sun Valley Bucket Bag | Slouchy Pink Leather Piped Purse - 2010-03-31 04:05:43-04
With a little more slouch than the average Stone Mountain has created this cute bucket bag to suit everyday wear. The Sun Valley is every bit as cheery as its name, with a relaxed shape and modern piped accents. Especially in this positive pink shade, the Sun Valley makes me want to smile. The black and [...]
- Modulab Makes Movie Posters Into Modern Handbags - 2010-03-31 05:05:03-04
Why carry a bag made from just any old billboard, when you can carry one made of a recycled movie poster? Modulab takes old vinyl movie advertisements and turns them into totes, handbags, and wallets for pop culture junkies. As movie posters are so large, the bags feature extreme actor close-ups and movie fonts. This [...]
- Kooba Skye Clutch | Modern Studded Soft Black Leather Purse - 2010-03-31 06:05:56-04
Just when all the studded purses were beginning to look alike, Kooba delivers something new with the Skye clutch. Rather than accenting the top with studs, Kooba unexpectedly smatters the metal near the clutch's base. It inverts our expectations the way Alexander Wang did with his Coco Duffel, and just as it did there the risk [...]
- Steven by Steve Madden BSide Tote | Bright Patent Leather Purse - 2010-03-31 07:27:53-04
Steve Madden's creations are almost always stylish yet funky - and he hasn't broken the mold with this BSide tote. The shape of this nylon and synthetic leather tote is so unusual. Rather than going to the boring typical tote shape, he has instead created some movement with the concave base. However, to avoid a certain [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Leola Zipper Leather Tote | Buttery Black Lambskin Shoulder Bag With Edgy Zipper Details - 2010-03-31 10:00:35-04
This is going to be a hard review for me to write, because the Leola has so many of my likes covered. It's Marc Jacobs, it's black, it's got a lot of zippers, and it's made of lambskin, so it's basically everything that I am, personally, looking for in a handbag. That being said, I [...]
- Jimmy Choo Cara Large Leather Clutch | Eagle Embossed Black Leather Clutch With Stud Detail - 2010-03-31 17:00:43-04
Jimmy Choo designs for an upscale audience with refined taste, but he always adds a bohemian edge that makes his accessories lovable to a wide, diverse audience. The Cara clutch is one of those accessories. The generous size of this clutch makes it perfect for really long nights, and it also showcases the awesome eagle detail [...]
- Nina Raye Crocodile-skin Wallet | Luxury Leather Evening Clutch - 2010-03-31 17:45:54-04
If you have a classy handbag then you need a classy wallet to go in it! OK, so $319 is a lot for a wallet. It is definitely only for those who have money left after buying it to go inside! However, if you fancy a real expensive piece of crocodile leather then this Nina Raye clutch will [...]
- Kate Spade Manuela Small Cosmetics Case | Glossy Green Signature Make-Up Bag - 2010-04-01 02:05:14-04
There are two kinds of cosmetics cases in the world. The first are delicate creatures designed to stash inside a handbag until you need to touch up your lipstick during a big night out. While this Kate Spade cosmetics case is called small, it definitely falls into the second category; this cosmetics heavyweight can handle [...]
- Tous To Open New Boutique in New York City - 2010-04-01 03:05:54-04
Spanish brand Tous is set to grow its retail base in the United States with the opening of its second New York store next week. The newest boutique will open at Rockefeller Center on April 9. It joins more than 400 Tous stores in 42 countries around the world. The 530-square-foot space features contemporary furnishings, a creative [...]
- Vera Bradley Saddle Up Bag | Floral Print Purple Punch Cross-Body Handbag - 2010-04-01 04:05:02-04
What a curious bag is the Vera Bradley Saddle Up. It's got the saddle shape we expect from an equestrian bags, but there's nothing horsey about Vera Bradley's signature prints! The designer's trademark florals and paisley patterns seem a curious match for that distinctive shape, but they're also undeniably Vera Bradley. Those prints are not [...]
- Calico Dragon Tote Bags Spreads Animal Friendly Message - 2010-04-01 05:05:38-04
Animal lovers regularly choose vegan-friendly leather purses over exotic skinned, fur, and authentic leather alternatives. But new handbag label Calico Dragon takes the animal-friendly message one step further. The range of large and small totes feature artistic prints and political messages. They urge people think of our animal friends by rejecting fur fashions, boycotting circus cruelty, [...]
- Juicy Couture Velour Baby Tote | Soft Blue Diaper Bag - 2010-04-01 06:05:24-04
Juicy girls don't have to give up their trademark sense of style once the stork arrives with this Juicy Couture Velour Baby Tote. This is signature Juicy Couture, from the plush velour body to the embroidered Scotch Terrier crest. Thankfully though, it's a little more reserved than many of the label's designs. The colored choices of [...]
- The SAK Indio Drawstring Bag | Relaxed Slouchy Leather Purse - 2010-04-01 08:25:03-04
The SAK have produced bags like this before - but this particular shoulder bag is different because of the smooth leather against the woven contrasting shoulder strap. This drawstring bag has a slightly hippie-like feel to it. This means it looks nice, but it also looks relaxed and casual - more of a bag for the [...]
- Lanvin Genereux Leather Shoulder Bag | Fabulous And Unique Brown Leather Bag For Day or Evening - 2010-04-01 10:00:54-04
Lanvin can make things work that seem totally contradictory. If you had tried to describe for me a bag that looks both antique and modern, that is made of brown pebbled leather but doesn't look sloppy boho, that will work for day or night, I probably would have scoffed. But the Genereux leather shoulder bag is [...]
- Juicy Couture Blue Blood Weekend Bag | Posh and Preppy Striped Overnight Bag - 2010-04-01 17:00:30-04
For the most part, Juicy Couture doesn't really do it for me. I am not a fan of sparkly, dangly, fussy details on my bags, and I dislike prominent logos. But every now and again they really surprise me. The Blue Blood Weekend Bag is the perfect example of that. The fabric of this bag is [...]
- Menbur Embellished Satin Wristlet | Sophisticated Folded Evening Bag - 2010-04-01 17:18:02-04
A simple evening bag for the affordable price of $59 is always going to be a good option. Finding one in a really unusual shade of royal blue like this is even better. OK, so this isn't the most remarkable wristlet. It features a soft folded blue satin, and a typical Menbur styled sparkling embellishment. Simple, [...]
- Elaine Turner Lainey Doctor Tote | Sophisticated Brown Croc-Embossed Leather Dome Handbag - 2010-04-02 02:05:24-04
Elaine Turner is one of those designers whose style I can never seem to pin down. Just as I think the label is best at creating casual beach accessories I spot a bag like the Lainey which makes me change my mind. This doctor tote is all retro sophistication. The crocodile finish may not be the [...]
- RuMe Releases New York Inspired Reusable Totes for Spring - 2010-04-02 03:05:40-04
RuMe has launched a colorful new range of recyclable shoppers to celebrate springtime. The Spring in New York collection is available in three different solid colors (Gerbra pink, Bluebell blue, and Grass green) and three fun patterned styles (Greenwich, Hamptons, and 5th Avenue). While the looks may impress you, it's the practical features that will make [...]
- Sharif Dog Carrier | Signature Kenya Collection Pet Bag with Leather Trim - 2010-04-02 04:05:10-04
We've seen Sharif create cute accessories for us, but with this Signature Kenya dog bag we see what the label can do for our furry friends. So many dog carriers are made for the Paris Hiltons of the world, with sugary pink finishes and rhinestone accents. That makes the much simpler, sedate design of this Signature [...]
- Mulberry Releases Limited Edition Gold Alexa for Selfridges - 2010-04-02 05:05:16-04
Mulberry's Alexa Chung inspired Alexa bag just got a whole lot more luxurious with the launch of a limited edition gold variety. Just 40 of these distressed metallic gold bags were made exclusively for British retailer Selfridges. Gold bags so often look gaudy, but the distressed finish makes the metallic look much more subtle than its [...]
- Treesje Presley Satchel | Italian Leather Duffle Style Handbag - 2010-04-02 06:05:48-04
It might be inspired by the King of Rock and Roll, but this gorgeous Presley satchel is more straight-laced handbag than hip swiveling rebel! It's not that Treesje doesn't take a few risks here, but they're all very well calculated. The curved lines of seams adorning the front panels add interest to the lush Italian lambskin, [...]
- Alexander Wang Millie Leopard Bag | Edgy But Minimal Black Leather Bag With Leopard Ponyskin Details - 2010-04-02 10:00:17-04
Alexander Wang always strikes the perfect balance between minimalism and rocker chic. He doesn't flood the market with a bunch of his designs, but instead releases just a few bags that instantly become iconic. The Millie is destined to become one of these. The practical, squared-off shape of this bag perfectly suits the leopard ponyskin embellishment. [...]
- Travelon On Your Weigh Luggage Scale | Ultimate Traveling Handbag Accessory - 2010-04-02 14:14:21-04
OK, OK, so this isn't a handbag. However, if you are someone who frequently flies and travels than it may become a vital accessory to your bags and luggage. The Travelon On Your Weigh tool, other than being a good fun pun, is also a pocket-sized set of scales. If ever you are going anywhere that [...]
- Emilio Pucci Fringed Suede Shoulder Bag | Eye Popping Electric Blue Boho Chic Bag With Fringe - 2010-04-02 17:00:04-04
Emilio Pucci's groovy bright prints epitomized fashion in the late 60's and early 70's. Lucky for us, the label stays true to Pucci's psychedelic point of view. This fringed shoulder bag is a spot on interpretation of hippie chic for modern gals. This bag is so boho rocker amazing that Led Zeppelin should get back together [...]
- B. Makowsky Dakar Hobo | East West Style Structured Bag with Buckle - 2010-04-03 02:05:52-04
B. Makowsky dresses up the typical hobo with this Dakar bag. This versatile bag has only a hint of the slouch we've come to expect from a hobo. The secret is the front panel which is adorned with vertical stitching. This panel creates a structured finish which is complemented by the satiny metal buckle above it. [...]
- Nicole Richie To Add Purses to House of Harlow 1960 Label - 2010-04-03 03:05:36-04
Nicole Richie's House of Harlow 1960 fashion line is going from strength to strength, so it makes sense that the mother of two plans to add handbags to her collection. Nicole says she will add between 40 and 50 purses to her fashion line, which already includes ready-to-wear clothes, footwear, sunglasses, and jewelry. The bags will [...]
- Carlo Fellini Angelina Purse | Long Satin Clutch with Rhinestones - 2010-04-03 04:05:12-04
In a world of over embellished evening bags, the simplicity of this Carlo Fellini purse really stands out. It's called the Angelina, and just like the Hollywood siren its natural beauty is what turns heads. The satin body is traditionally shaped and colored in neutral tones of black, silver, or beige. There are just a handful [...]
- Jeep Launches Battalion Luggage for Spring - 2010-04-03 05:05:42-04
Jeep isn't a name I associate with bags, but the brand has just launched a suitcase in time for our spring getaways. The Jeep Battalion has a grand sounding name, and a sturdy design to match it. A hardy ABS shell gives the Battalion a durable exterior while ensuring the case is incredibly lightweight. That makes [...]
- Sondra Roberts Cork Purse | Striped Rounded Box Clutch - 2010-04-03 08:07:54-04
Sondra Roberts is one of my favourite handbag designers, because she is brave enough to create beautiful and unusual purses without feeling the need to charge the earth. Cork isn't perhaps one of the automatic materials you would choose to make a clutch out of. However, in the same way that cork heels can actually look [...]
- Chloé Elsie Large Metallic Bag | Sparkly Metallic Woven Leather Shoulder Bag With Chain Strap - 2010-04-03 10:00:32-04
In the past few years, Chloé has come to dominate the market in young French fashion for a particularly hip demographic. But their fashion forward but still classic designs appeal to women the world over. In terms of delivering on their global likability, this Elsi bag is somewhat of a disappointment. There's a lot of interesting [...]
- Roxy I Wish Fur Bag | Feminine Fluffy Oversized Bow Purse - 2010-04-04 02:05:57-04
Just as I was beginning to think Roxy had grown up this fluffy monstrosity crosses my path and changes my mind. It's called the I Wish, but frankly the only thing I wish is that Roxy hadn't created this syrupy sweet accessory. I've been known to enjoy faux fur bags in the past, and I've even [...]
- Angelina Jolie Earns Respect from PETA for Animal Friendly Handbag Stance - 2010-04-04 03:05:44-04
Angelina Jolie has impressed PETA by thoroughly investigating the practices of Akris before purchasing one of the label's ecru horsehair handbags. Horsehair bags are often made using hair from horses killed violently in slaughterhouses, so the Hollywood actress and humanitarian wanted to ensure she would not support this practice. However, Akris designer Albert Kriemler assured her his [...]
- My Bag Cares Eco-Friendly Totes Become Celebrity Favorites - 2010-04-04 05:05:24-04
Most handbags we spot on the arms of our favorite celebrities are out of the reach of mere mortals. But every now and then we spot a star trend we can all indulge in. My Bag Cares eco-friendly totes have been carried by some of Hollywood's hottest stars including Mila Kunis, Ashanti, and Shannon Elizabeth. The [...]
- Jessica Jensen Origami Barrel Clutch | Folded Leather Purse - 2010-04-04 07:28:39-04
We have already seen the Jessica Jensen Classic Barrel clutch, a folded origami creation that creates art out of leather. Now the designer has added another folded leather clutch to the mix, with her aptly named Origami Barrel clutch. Although the name pays homage to the Japanese art of paper folding, this clutch is actually a [...]
- Steve Madden BGrace Tote | Ruffled Metallic Studded Bag - 2010-04-04 18:18:06-04
OK, so the BGrace tote isn't the first ruffled handbag to have hit the shops in the past few years. However, this Steve Madden handbag is worth a mention for a few features that make it an individual. First off, most bags tend to have large oversized ruffles these days. Instead, this particular example has multiple [...]
- Freebird by The SAK Spirited Large Hobo | Native American Inspired Synthetic Boho Bag - 2010-04-04 21:15:08-04
With its Freebird line, The SAK takes the hobo back to his boho roots with this Spirited bag. This hobo unashamedly oozes Native American style from its contrast stitching to its rainbow colored bead accents. Some might suggest The SAK takes the look a tad too far with its wooden bird mandala and dream catcher keychain, [...]
- Maison Martin Margiela Oversized Metallic Clutch | Conversation Starting Avant Garde Metallic Fuchsia Patent Clutch - 2010-04-05 00:15:45-04
Maison Martin Margiela has an aesthetic that is impossible to predict and growing in popularity. He has managed to combine minimalism and experimentalism in a way that is somehow accessible to a wide audience. This clutch is a fabulous, and bizarre, example. I am having a really hard time wrapping my head around the appearance of [...]
- Moonsus Cosmopolitan Laptop Satchel | Colorful Office Bag for Notebook Computer - 2010-04-05 02:05:33-04
Laptop bags tend to be drab affairs, entirely appropriate for the office but too stuffy to suit after work margheritas with the girls. Moonsus look to change all that with this stylish Cosmopolitan Laptop Satchel. This bag strikes the balance between modern and classic. The design is appropriate for any office thanks to the sophisticated shape, [...]
- Alexander Wang Releases Affordable Tote for Opening Ceremony Store - 2010-04-05 03:05:42-04
We've all seen affordable handbag brands creating homages to luxury lines, so it's refreshing to see the high-end designers getting in first. No mere designer imitation, Alexander Wang has created this affordable tote in the style of his popular Coco duffle. The bag was created to celebrate Opening Ceremony's new Ace Hotel boutique. It uses black [...]
- Mellow World Blossom Messenger Handbag | Feminine Art Deco Floral Cross-Body Bag - 2010-04-05 04:05:12-04
In a world of unisex styled messengers, this delicate Blossom bag from Mellow World really stands out. Rather than the traditional flap-over style we've come to associate with messengers, this one features a simpler shape with pretty daisy cut-outs. These art-deco styled blooms are laid over a tan ramie background. The flowers are feminine without being [...]
