- Tusk Paradise Pleated Purse | Pearlized Leather Envelope Clutch - 2010-04-12 13:12:57-04
Envelope clutches offer a great way to introduce a little structural fashion into your outfit. Many people will find $110 a lot of money for a purse from a relatively little-known designer. I can understand this - for over $100 you may well want something with more space and more function than a clutch. However, I [...]
- Valentino Tulle Rosette Bag | Swoon-Worthy Blush Tulle and Leather-Trimmed Shoulder Bag With Rose Details - 2010-04-12 15:30:02-04
Valentino's designs always make me gush. I want to be all objective and dispassionate, but there's something about his romantic, feminine pieces that just make me go gooey. The Rosette bag is the perfect example. There's something so organic about the appearance of this bag that it almost looks alive. The delicate tulle rosettes have been [...]
- Be & D King Hobo | Twisted Slouchy Leather Tote - 2010-04-12 17:32:57-04
How much are you willing to pay for top quality leather and an interesting twisted design? If the answer is quite a lot, then this $1,500 Be & D King tote is a great option. Before I complain about the astronomical designer price-tag, I have to say that the look of this bag is gorgeous. The [...]
- M. Andonia High Speed Cosmetics Bag | Large Car Print Make-Up Handbag - 2010-04-13 02:05:38-04
This High Speed cosmetics bag from M. Andonia is a tote for girls who are serious about cars, and make-up! The colorful exterior puts us in pit lane, with a scene showing a crew changing the tires of a racing car. Assorted dials and cars around the main print only add to the edgy auto appeal, [...]

- Helena de Natalio Sofita Shoulder Bag | Sophisticated Slouchy Leather Convertible Handbag - 2010-04-13 05:05:30-04
Last month Helena de Natalio's Sofi made me swoon. Now I'm just as enamored with the label's Sofita Shoulder Bag. It's no surprise really, as the two bags are very similar. They're both made from gorgeous Argentinean leather, a skin which emphasizes the bags' incredible slouchy profile. The leather gathers about the hardware in the same [...]
- Rags2Riches Empowers Disadvantaged Communities With Recycled Woven Handbags - 2010-04-13 05:05:32-04
Rags2Riches is one of those special handbag labels which is both eco-friendly and socially conscious. The purses are made from scrap cloth discarded from local garment factories, then woven together using traditional techniques. Collections are designed by Rajo Laurel and Amina Aranaz, and then handcrafted by women living in the Payatas, a socially disadvantaged community in [...]
- J. Tiras Marilyn Clutch | Satin Frame Purse with Cut-Out Metal Handle - 2010-04-13 06:05:06-04
With all the glitz and glamour of old-time Hollywood comes this Marilyn clutch from J. Tiras. This is exactly the kind of purse I can imagine Ms Munroe carrying; the red satin body is bold yet elegant, and the tiny rhinestones covering the handle deliver a healthy dose of bling. Marilyn may have believed that diamonds [...]
- Rebecca Minkoff Heartthrob Shoulder Bag | Perforated Funky Classic Satchel - 2010-04-13 07:46:30-04
The Rebecca Minkoff Heartthrob shoulder bag is a modern take on a classic satchel design. The classic design of this funky bag is apparent in the shape. From the spacious front pocket to the simple square body and long strap, this is all about functional carrying and a traditional design. However, this basic shape is counteracted by [...]
- Whiting & Davis Shirred Wristlet | Slouchy Pink Metal Mesh Purse - 2010-04-13 17:38:49-04
Whiting & Davis go all "Barbie" with this metallic pink evening bag. Usually the masters of metal mesh are all about vintage style design, or rock chick metal and studs. However, they have added in some color in this shirred clutch, a that has transformed it into something feminine and very pink indeed. Personally I am not [...]
- Judith Leiber Birdcage Fine Crystal Bag | Sparkling Statement Making Evening Bag With Gilded Birdcage Details - 2010-04-13 20:15:11-04
Judith Leiber is the queen of statement-making evening accessories, and has been for ages. This clutch just solidifies her place in the pantheon. This birdcage clutch is truly exquisite. It's a perfect trompe l'oeil rendering in miniature of a deco era birdcage. Truthfully, I like this delicate, detail-oriented approach a lot more than I like her [...]
- Oryany Handbags Ella Hobo | Boho-Chic Studded Italian Coated Canvas Handbag - 2010-04-14 02:05:19-04
Oryany embodies bohemian cool with this Ella hobo. That doesn't mean Oryany toes the line though. The traditional crescent shape is gone, replaced with a surprisingly triangular silhouette. This shape gives the Ella more structure than a traditional hobo, but it still slouches enough to project a relaxed air. Studs bordering the zippered pocket are arranged [...]
- Big Discounts on Jalda Bags at Secret Sale - 2010-04-14 03:05:14-04
If you've lusted after the luxury leathers of Jalda purses from afar, listen up. The modern designer label has slashed its prices for a special secret sale.

- Kavu Decatur Tote | Medium Sized Striped Cotton Hemp Blend Bag - 2010-04-14 04:05:57-04
Kavu puts function, and the environment, first with its Decatur tote. Classic colored stripes help to jazz up this fabric bag, which is made from an eco-friendly blend of cotton and hemp. The Decatur is also available in a range of more abstract prints, although these totes are made from plain cotton canvas. Personally I'm more [...]
- Lady Gaga Defaces Hermes Birkin Bag in Japan - 2010-04-14 05:05:05-04
When I heard the current Queen of the Bizarre Lady Gaga arrived at Tokyo's Narita Airport carrying a Hermes Birkin I was shocked. Surely the trendsetting Gaga wasn't succumbing to the charms of modern status items! But I should have known that the pop star wouldn't play by the rules. Lady Gaga had neatly penned some [...]
- Carlo Fellini Madeline Evening Bag | Pyramid Shaped White Purse - 2010-04-14 06:05:09-04
The striking pyramid silhouette of the Madeline from Carlo Fellini ensures it will stand out in any crowd. This unusual shape turns the traditional flap purse formula on its head. Thankfully though, it's just outrageous enough. The lines are clean, and the hardware kept to a minimum so as not to clutter this head-turning purse. The unique [...]
- Treesje Fatal Pouch Purse | Skull Patterned Gothic Bag - 2010-04-14 08:35:02-04
Do you remember the Treesje Mortale handbag? Well, the brand have now created the Fatal purse, which is intended to be a slightly more down-market version of that Gothic clutch. Where the Mortale is serious and macabre, the Fatal is all about the fun. Yes, you heard me right - fun can come in skull shaped packaging! To [...]
- KC Malhan Bermuda Clutch | Beaded Exotic Evening Purse - 2010-04-15 02:05:05-04
Add some exotic flair to your evening attire with the Bermuda Clutch from KC Malhan. Its name might take us to the islands, but the Bermuda's look is actually more influenced by its Indian origins. Tiny glass beads are sewn over the black fabric in an exotic, ethnic design. I love the unexpected punch of this [...]
- Rebecca Minkoff Designs Luxury Collection for Saks Fifth Avenue - 2010-04-15 03:05:50-04
Rebecca Minkoff bags were already high fashion, but the designer has created an even more luxurious line exclusively for Saks Fifth Avenue. The range, not so cleverly titled the Rebecca Minkoff Collection, sees the label's iconic designs updated with luxury accents. Some of the improvements we can look forward to are plush calfskin leathers, authentic python [...]
- J. Furmani Designer Vintage Evening Bag | Beautiful Beaded Frame Clutch - 2010-04-15 04:05:34-04
J. Furmani takes us back to fashion's golden age with this Designer Vintage Evening Bag. The attention to detail is what really sets this purse apart. While so many labels think they can pass any frame bag with a kiss-lock clasp off as vintage, J. Furmani carefully replicates old-world glamour. The body is intricately beaded with [...]
- Jil Sander To Release Affordable Navy Fashion Collection - 2010-04-15 05:05:18-04
While Rebecca Minkoff is upscaling, Jil Sander is going in the opposite direction. The designer will release a more affordable line under the moniker Jil Sander Navy. The collection, which has been described as "casual lux," is hoping to attract younger, budget-conscious customers. They'll enjoy the minimalism Jil Sander is known for but at a much [...]
- Menbur Paris Clutch | Oversized Bow Feminine Gray Purse - 2010-04-15 06:05:51-04
I know that oversized bows are all the rage, but I wonder whether Menbur's Paris Clutch may have taken the trend too far! The bow is so big, we can barely see the bag at all! This purse is more than a little silly, but I actually don't mind it. It's feminine to be sure, but [...]
- Latico Mimi In Memphis Clutch | Convenient Compartmentalized Buckle Wristlet - 2010-04-15 08:18:47-04
For people who are fed up with the floaty girlie fashion that is dominating the high-street and designer's collections this spring, then Latico may have just provided the ultimate alternative. Everything about this little clutch pulls against the chiffon and the ruffles. The bright mustard yellow leather will clash with everything currently in the shops, giving [...]
- How To Wear | The Oryany Ella Hobo - 2010-04-15 12:11:16-04
Have you ever seen a handbag that you love, but not known how to style it? If so, then you could probably use a few styling ideas to set you off on the right foot. These posts will aim to do just that - to give you a few fashion ideas to inspire you with [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Pearlie Quilted Leather Bag | Sweet and Simple Off-White Quilted Leather Shoulder Bag - 2010-04-15 22:01:41-04
The Marc by Marc Jacobs line is usually ahead of the trends. But it also sometimes combines trends in a way that makes them palatable to a wide audience. The Pearlie is a perfect example of this. The Pearlie combines the current trend of classic quilted leather bags with a pared down, minimal aesthetic. The shape [...]
- Serpui Marie Clementine Bag | Small Leather and Suede Striped Cross-Body Handbag - 2010-04-16 02:05:52-04
Serpui Marie delivers a pint sized dose of personality with this Clementine Bag. There's something so striking about the combination of deep green suede and glossy black patent stripes. It's not a color combination we often see, and I'm glad Serpui Marie took a risk. It's built like a satchel, but this is actually a teeny tiny [...]
- Rumors Yves Saint Laurent To Sack Designer Stefano Pilati - 2010-04-16 03:05:14-04
Say it isn't so! The rumor mill is buzzing with talk that designer Stefano Pilati may soon be pushed out of Yves Saint Laurent. His no show at the recently Metropolitan Opera Gala, YSL's biggest event of the year in the US, has done little to quell the gossip. Word from Paris Fashion Week is that [...]
- Moonsus Allure Hobo | Practical Signature Khaki Jacquard Purse - 2010-04-16 04:05:24-04
Considering its sexy moniker, I expected Moonsus' Allure to be a lot more ... well ... alluring. But what this hobo lacks in style, it makes up for in substance. It's not that the Allure is ugly; it's just very sensible. Carrying it will never commit any fashion sins, but it won't attract a lot of [...]
- GG2G Gives Profits From Recycled Vinyl Bags and Organic Tees to Farm Sanctuary Animal Charity - 2010-04-16 05:05:13-04

- Mellow World Bliss Handbag | Oversized Faux Leather Patchwork Flower Shoulder Bag - 2010-04-16 06:05:57-04
Mellow World gives retro patchwork a springtime lift with its Bliss bag. The star of the show is the bold patchwork flower on the front of the bag. Colorful swatches of faux crocodile, alligator, python print skin make the petals, while a gleaming metal stud stands in for pollen. Glittering rhinestones create smaller blooms and buds [...]
- Diesel Strip Club Magnetic Tote | Striped Metallic Handbag - 2010-04-16 08:10:13-04
Carry your belongings around with this funky-handled purse from sporty brand Diesel. OK, let's start with the obvious. The name. This Diesel handbag is called, eloquently, the Strip Club bag. I get the pun, of course, but I have to say that the name strikes me as slightly odd and even a bit tasteless! Of course, I [...]
- Jimmy Choo Daphne Ponyskin Leather Clutch | Fierce And Fabulous Neon And Leopard Spotted Clutch - 2010-04-16 21:24:43-04
Okay, I have to admit Jimmy Choo is not one of my favorite designers. His uptown Park Avenue aesthetic just isn't my thing. This amazing clutch, however, might just be enough to make a convert out of me. I am in love with basically every detail of this bag. The ballooned rectangular shape is perfect, and [...]
- Mywalit Large Leather Coin Purse | Small Colorful Change Clutch - 2010-04-17 02:05:15-04
I fell hard for Mywalit's Full-Flap Multi-Compartment purse, and I'm lusting almost as hard over the brand's large leather coin purse. Once again, Mywalit delivers a bag that's more functional than it first appears. Coin purses are notoriously impractical for all but your loose change, but this one's packed with organizational features. It'll take care of [...]

- Roxy Stud Muffin Convertible Handbag | Versatile Cross-Body Wristlet Purse - 2010-04-17 17:24:57-04
The Stud Muffin! The brilliant name alone has me loving this Roxy handbag! After the name, it is the versatility of this convertible handbag that is the most impressive feature. At first glance, it looks like a normal wristlet. Quite large, but with an optional wrist strap to help you carry it. Then you realise that [...]

- CC Skye Love 82 Hobo | Sophisticated Slouchy Leather Handbag - 2010-04-19 00:56:38-04
CC Skye has outdone itself with this gorgeous hobo bag. It's called the Love 82, and that's exactly the emotion it inspires in me! Often the slouch of a hobo makes it look slovenly, but not so here. The soft body only makes the luxury leather appear more opulent. The gentle pleats are undeniably feminine, but [...]
- Coccinelle Vivian Shoulder Bag | Large Pleated Plaited Double Handle Purse - 2010-04-19 01:41:15-04
With its high society name, it should come as no surprise that the Vivian from Coccinelle is one classy accessory. This shoulder bag is structured and smart, a bag of excellent breeding. Wide vertical pleats add interest to the authentic leather body, while the long tassel shows Coccinelle's playful side. Those pleats really are the star [...]

Military style meets practicality with this modern Tribeca Tote from Tusk. I can definitely imagine New York's hippest young things carrying this contemporary handbag!

- Soapbox The Singapore Carpet Bag | Asian Inspired Frame Purse - 2010-04-19 06:05:53-04
Soapbox channels all of the charm of the Orient for its the Singapore Carpet Bag. The term carpet bag is a bit of a misnomer of course, as unlike the carpet bags of old it's not made from carpet at all. The satiny material is much more sophisticated though, so I'm happy to forgive Soapbox for [...]

This stylish traditional tote just goes to show that little-known designers can produce some wonderful looking bags. The Jesselli Couture purse that we have before us is one such case-in-point.
