New at BagBunch: Lanvin Cabeceo Quilted Suede Shoulder Bag | Elegant Black Quilted Suede Trophy Tote

Hi mary,

Check out the latest handbag fashion news and review at BagBunch.com:

1. Lanvin Cabeceo Quilted Suede Shoulder Bag | Elegant Black Quilted Suede Trophy Tote - 2010-08-23 14:00:46-04
   I don't really think that the words "elegant" and "tote" go together that often. This is partially because a lot of bags that are called totes aren't really totes and a lot of bags that are described as elegant aren't actually elegant. This Cabeceo is definitely both. The black quilted suede is soft and plush. The [...]
   
2. Christian Louboutin Trophe Large Calf Hair Bag | Edgy Houndstooth Calf Hair Shoulder Bag With Zippers - 2010-08-23 16:00:55-04
   I don't know what it is with houndstooth, lately, but I've been seeing a lot of it. Marc Jacobs, of course, is known for using it, but it seems like it's really making a major appearance in accessories. Take, for example, this Trophe calf hair bag by Christian Louboutin, which uses the pattern in a [...]
   
3. Judith Leiber Small Airstream Fine Crystal-Embellished Clutch | Sleek Sparkling Silver Crystal Clutch - 2010-08-23 20:00:42-04
   Earlier today I reviewed a Judith Leiber fish clutch that I found totally ridiculous, and I actually found myself starting to feel a little resentful about how highly-priced her coveted bags are, even when they are kind of absurd. And then I see lovely little evening bags like this one and realize that Leiber is [...]
   
4. Diesel Into the Fold Upright Backpack | Weathered Leather Casual Bag - 2010-08-23 20:44:30-04
   Diesel combines superior quality with practical design in this Into the Fold Upright Backpack. Initially it seems like the kind of bag you'd sling on your back for a long hike or camping vacation, but the material causes me to reconsider. The lush leather, with its gorgeous weathered texture, deserves to be kept in a cleaner [...]
   
5. Chrissie Hynde and JP Jones Create Fashion Line | The Pretenders Singer Designs Handbags, Skinny Jeans, and More - 2010-08-23 21:43:31-04
   The Pretenders lead singer Chrissie Hynde is teaming up with songwriter JP Jones for a host of creative endeavors. Along with a new band called JP, Chrissie & the Fairground Boys and an album on the way, the duo has an animal-friendly clothing line in the works. The edgy fashion collection will be called Fairground Luck [...]
   
6. DKNY Pleated Shopper Handbag | Unique Red Leather Detailed Purse - 2010-08-23 22:14:10-04
   It takes something special to make a traditionally shaped shopper turn my head, but DKNY has succeeded with this unique pleated shopper handbag. Many shoppers feature pleated details, but I've never seen one with pleats quite like this. They gather the leather together, with proudly exposed, raw edges for a gutsy rock and roll attitude. Of [...]
   
7. Rickshaw Bagworks' New Herringbone Material | Performance Tweed Made From Recycled Polyester - 2010-08-23 23:18:09-04
   The accessories from eco-friendly San Francisco fashion line Rickshaw Bagworks have had a makeover. The brand has just released a new herringbone patterned material known as Rickshaw Performance Tweed. The durable fabric was inspired by the iconic woolen textiles of Scotland and Ireland, although Rickshaw Bagworks has given the fabric a few modern tweaks. The new [...]
   
8. Dolce & Gabbana Lily Glam Bag | Quilted Red Leather Cross-Body Purse - 2010-08-24 01:03:20-04
   Dolce & Gabbana can keep as glamorous while we're on the go with this quilted Lily Glam bag. This is a simple purse, but the devil's in the details. The squishy barrel shape and long leather tassel make the Lily look relaxed and casually cool. But it gets an injection of sophistication from the diamond quilting. [...]
   
9. Donald J Pliner Namid Hobo | Fringed Brown Leather Boho Bag - 2010-08-24 02:35:44-04
   Bohemian style is the order of the day with this Namid Hobo from Donald J Pliner. I can just imagine seeing Janis Joplin or Joan Baez with this bag strapped across their body as they soaked up the atmosphere at Woodstock. Its fringed leather trim might not be the most modern accent, but it is ideal [...]
   
10. Chiarugi Handmade Traditional Satchel | Genuine Italian Leather Shoulder Bag - 2010-08-24 08:11:56-04
    In case you hadn't noticed, satchels are fashionable yet again this season. The high-street and all the big designers are contributing their interpretations into the mix, with results that come in all colors, textures and shapes. If you just want something simple, classic and elegant, however, then why not opted for an Italian bag like [...]
    
11. Bright and Colorful Santi Clutch | Watercolor Floral Tube Purse - 2010-08-24 08:31:50-04
    You can tell what season we are going into. Suddenly every single handbag featured on this site seems to be in a shade of black, grey, russet or brown. They are lovely, no doubt, but the summer lover in me is craving a bit of brightness. So, without further ado, let me introduce this gorgeous Santi [...]
    
12. Halston Heritage Catherine Crinkled Leather Bag | Affordable Avant Garde Crinkled Black Leather Tote - 2010-08-24 17:10:31-04
    A diffusion line can often be a little more cutting edge than a designer's primary collection, because the price points are lower, and people are more willing to experiment with new styles when they are affordable. Halston Heritage, thus far, has not seemed particularly cutting edge to me, but bags like this crinkled leather Catherine [...]
    
13. Hermes New York Boutique Gets Leather Goods Floor | Madison Avenue Store Launches Handbags Level - 2010-08-24 21:22:45-04
    If there's one thing that Hermes does well, it's leather goods. The luxury fashion house will showcase these covetable items when it opens a floor dedicated to leather in its Madison Avenue store next month. The refurbished space, which measures 2000 square feet, will showcase Hermes comprehensive leather collection in sleek new surrounds. The work of [...]
    
14. Donna Sharp Backpack | Adorable Cotton Dandelion Floral School Bag - 2010-08-24 22:01:11-04
    We're all enjoying soaking up the summer sun, but as the days of August tick by we're getting ever closer to the dreaded return to school. Donna Sharp can help you ease your way back into the routine with this cute backpack. As with so many accessories from Donna Sharp, this is a backpack which delights [...]
    
15. Mercurialist Handmade Leather Bags | New Handbags from Australian Designer - 2010-08-24 23:16:39-04
    Australian label Mercurialist offers an antidote to faddish It bags with its new accessories collection inspired by the old world and art of invention. The brand sees the beauty in what is weathered and worn, the story of an object and its journey. Mercurialist's purses feature edgy distressed leathers and dark oxidized metal hardware. Each one [...]
    
16. Dooney & Bourke Carla Duffle Bag | Candy Colored Striped Domed Sports Handbag - 2010-08-25 00:03:32-04
    It's easy to add a little color to your day carrying this fun Carla Duffle bag from Dooney & Bourke. The Carla is available in a range of fabrics and prints, but I think this candy colored stripe purse is my favorite. I love the way the primary toned stripes make the white seersucker canvas pop. [...]
    
17. Echo Rounded Raffia Tote | Kitsch Woven Summer Handbag - 2010-08-25 02:05:20-04
    If you're not quite ready to say goodbye to summer, feast your eyes on this fun Rounded Raffia Tote from Echo. This quirky purse reminds me of the kind of souvenir you'd take home from a Polynesian vacation. It might not be handcrafted by Fijian locals, but its woven raffia body could fool your friends. This kitschy [...]
    
18. Badgley Mischka Stanwyck Purse | Delicate Beaded Evening Clutch - 2010-08-25 08:12:47-04
    I am pleased to see that Badgley Mischka have taken their luxury handbag designs into the realm of beading with the Stanwyck clutch. There is nothing, nothing, that screams "evening wear" more than a beaded bag. It is very rare that it will look right under the light of day, but give a beaded purse some [...]
    
19. Mundi Oversized Wallet Clutch | Crocodile Print Beltstrap Wristlet - 2010-08-25 08:31:43-04
    I do love an affordable wallet, as it is always nice to have some money left to put in it! The Mundi wallet we have here only costs $19.95, and is consequently a total bargain. It also explains why we don't have authentic crocodile leather or even normal leather - because you couldn't get that for [...]
    
20. Christina Hendricks Models for London Fog | Mad Men Actress Stars in New Fall 2010 Advertising - 2010-08-25 20:08:13-04
    Mad Men goddess Christina Hendricks is following in the footsteps of Gisele Bundchen and Eva Longoria Parker as the latest face of London Fog. The flame-haired actress, who plays Joan Harris in the advertising drama series, will front the fashion house's fall 2010 campaign. "London Fog is a classic brand, which I love," Hendricks told People [...]
    
21. Ed Hardy Galactic Rock Calisto Satchel | Futuristic Modern Metallic Snakeskin Handbag - 2010-08-25 20:49:30-04
    When you want an accessory with plenty of glitz at any cost, you need only look to the designs of Ed Hardy. The Galactic Rock Calisto is another Ed Hardy bag that's just as flamboyant as its name. This outrageous moniker reminds me of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust persona, and there are certainly elements of rock [...]
    
22. Brahmin Designs Fashion's Night Out Tote with Vogue | British Designer Creates Limited Edition Bag for AIDS Charity - 2010-08-25 21:55:38-04
    Luxury British bag company Brahmin has been entrusted to design an official tote bag to celebrate this year's Fashion's Night Out festivities. The firm worked directly with Vogue to create the limited edition handbag for the September 10 event. "Fashion's Night Out is a truly amazing initiative and something that we are thrilled to be a [...]
    
23. Nancy Gonzalez Small Crocodile Clutch | Eye-Catching Bronze Croc Skin Clutch - 2010-08-25 22:25:23-04
     The handcrafting and meticulous design  of Nancy Gonzalez's line ensures that every piece is a unique piece of art. Her focus is always on the materials, and her accessories are never fussy, overdesigned, or trendy. This small crocodile clutch is a fabulous addition to the collection. The bronze treatment on the crocodile skin is breathtaking. Gonzalez [...]
    
24. Eenamaria Southern Belle Satchel | Retro Spots Patent Purse - 2010-08-25 22:43:59-04
    Eenamaria figures that when you're on to a good thing, stick to it. Its mod-style accessories might not push the envelope, but they're consistently stylish and fun. To be fair, this Southern Belle satchel is a little different from most of the designs I've seen from the label. It's made from the same glossy synthetic, and [...]
    
25. Marc by Marc Jacobs Lou Lou Shoulder Bag | Hip And Simple Black Leather Satchel - 2010-08-26 01:00:35-04
    Marc by Marc Jacobs is one of my favorite lines out there, because they are often able to bridge the gap between traditional and street smart hipster gear. This Lou Lou shoulder bag does just that. The fine pebbled texture of the black leather is fabulous and also utilitarian. Pebbled leather shows far fewer nicks and [...]
    
26. Elaine Turner Carson Soft Clutch | Wave Textured Peacock Blue Leather Purse - 2010-08-26 02:05:34-04
    Just like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy's resident fashion expert, this Carson clutch can easily give any outfit the lift it needs. This is the kind of clutch that begs to be held. It's small enough to easily fit in your palm, and its wave embossed leather is super soft and sumptuous to the touch. [...]
    
27. Sustainable Green Bags from Nau | Oregon Brand Makes Classic Eco-Friendly Bags - 2010-08-26 03:05:27-04
    The handbags from Oregon fashion label Nau are a great choice for green girls with classic style. Pronounced "now," the brand is committed to sustainable and eco-friendly materials. Its purses are made from organic cotton and recycled materials, including polyester and wintry wool felt. Nau designs are minimalist and classic, although they could also be accused of [...]
    
28. Elie Tahari Mira Tote | Sophisticated Oversized Pleated Rum Brown Leather Purse - 2010-08-26 04:05:07-04
    It's rare for a brown leather bag to turn my head, but few have the show stopping style of the Mira tote by Elie Tahari. This really is a lovely looking bag, with tight, angular pleats all over. They create such a dramatic effect that elevates the fairly conservative brown leather into something extraordinary. It's easy to [...]
    
29. SWIGG Makes Eco-Friendly Corduroy Alternative | Green Fabric For Ridge Pack Totes - 2010-08-26 05:05:40-04
    There's more to this Ridge Pack from SWIGG than meets the eye. It looks like this tote is made from corduroy, but the New York design firm actually crafts these bags from a unique eco-friendly fiber held together by recycled resin and embossed to resemble the wintry material. After all those processed you may be concerned [...]
    
30. Ellington Annie Cross-Body Bag | Affordable Practical Blue Nylon Zipper Handbag with Pockets - 2010-08-26 06:05:45-04
    When getting the job done is more important than making a style statement, look to a bag like this Annie Cross-Body from Ellington. This is an ideal bag for girls on the go, with its lightweight nylon body and plethora of pockets. You'll find two on the outside for easy access to your cell phone and [...]
    
31. Kooba Audrey Pleated Tote | Angular and Structural Folded Hold-all - 2010-08-26 08:22:44-04
    You don't have to wear bright colors to make a fashion statement, as this Kooba tote aims to show us. It may be in a rather ordinary shade of deep gray-brown, but the design of this tote bag makes up for any limitations in colorful creativity. The folded and pleated style gives you shape, structure and [...]
    
32. Rebecca Minkoff Pointy Stud Pouch | Feisty Studded "Rocker" Cross-Body - 2010-08-26 08:42:40-04
    This isn't the first studded pouch we have seen from Rebecca Minkoff. In fact, you could say that she specialises in this particular design. With this version, however, she has upped the ante on the aggression! How can I tell this is more aggressive? Well, just look at those studs! She has avoided the pyramid or round styles [...]
    
33. Anya Hindmarch Carker Leather Tote | Sophisticated Black Leather Urban Carryall - 2010-08-26 23:06:07-04
    For a while, I was becoming disenchanted with Anya Hindmarch. All spring and summer, it looked like she was just going to keep releasing canvas tote bags with kitschy prints at high prices. But fall has come, and her line just keeps getting better and better. This Carker tote is a great addition to her [...]
    
34. Halston Heritage Susan Leather Clutch | Fabulous Black Leather Evening Bag With Faux Stingray Look - 2010-08-27 01:00:31-04
    I love the look of stingray, but I have two problems with it. The first problem I have with it is that it comes from a stingray, which seems semi-endangered to me, even if it's not. The second is the price. The rarity of the skin makes it exorbitantly priced. This great clutch by Halston Heritage [...]
    
35. Elliott Lucca Vega Satchel | Medium Woven Leather Handbag - 2010-08-27 02:05:35-04
    Who needs the pricy purses of Bottega Veneta? With the Vega satchel Elliott Lucca gives us all the looks of the luxury label's woven leather purses at a mere $168. Unlike many Bottega Veneta alternatives, Elliott Lucca uses real leather rather than a synthetic alternative to create this affordable satchel. It might not be a leather [...]
    
36. Alexander Wang To Open New York Store | Designer Reveals Plans for Own Boutique - 2010-08-27 03:05:54-04
    It's been a long time coming, but Alexander Wang will soon open the doors of his very own boutique. The store, which will be located at 103 Grand Street in New York City, will be open for business by the end of the year. Details are a bit thin at the moment, but Wang did open up [...]
    
37. Lancaster Bags Sale at Modnique.com | Italian Purses Discounted on Shopping Website - 2010-08-27 05:05:20-04
    Modnique.com is offering massive savings on its range of Lancaster signature print and leather handbags. For the next four days you can save up to a whopping 89% on the Italian brand's purses. This isn't one of those sales which offer a handful of big discounts beside some meager savings. The smallest discount is still a [...]
    
38. Emilie Sloan Mia Ringlet | Convenient Practical Small Everyday Wristlet Purse - 2010-08-27 05:05:44-04
    I'd never heard of a ringlet before, but that's just what this small and practical Mia purse from Emilie Sloan claims to be. I'm not sure where its name came from, as there are no rings to be seen, but that matters not. It's easy to appreciate this purse as an alternative to a wristlet or [...]
    
39. Emilio Pucci Marquise Bag | Medium Flap Sheepskin Handbag with Ring & Stud Trim - 2010-08-27 06:05:03-04
    Emilio Pucci takes things down a notch for this Marquise Bag. It might seem strange to consider a bag trimmed with studs and rings as reserved, but in comparison with many of Emilio Pucci's accessories this flap bag is almost sedate. Rather than the colorful prints the fashion house favors, this handbag is made from a [...]
    
40. Calvin Klein Dots Evening Clutch | Stunning Metallic Frame Bag - 2010-08-27 08:14:43-04
    Sometimes I write about a bag that is just beautiful. Generally the beautiful bags are simple and stunning, and often they don't cost as much as you would perhaps expect. This Calvin Klein clutch is one of those bags that just makes me go "wow"! I love it so for many reasons. First up is the [...]
    
41. G by GUESS Ravillo Hobo | Patterned Buckled Denim Tote - 2010-08-27 09:29:01-04
    Denim meets faux ostrich leather in the Guess Ravillo tote. Denim and leather are a classic combination. Just imagine a pale denim shirt gathered by a wide tan belt, and you will get what I mean! It is nice, therefore, to see a handbag that combines the two (even if the leather is synthetic), especially in [...]
    
42. 3.1 Phillip Lim Convertible Iridescent Leather Bag | Gorgeous Leather Minimalist Masterpiece Converts From Tote To Clutch - 2010-08-27 11:30:43-04
    I should admit right off the bat that I am in love with this bag. It's definitely my favorite of the month, and it's probably in my top three of the year. The reason is that it is both avant garde and wearable. It is minimal with fabulous details that make it really stand out. The [...]
    
43. Etienne Aigner Colby Top Zip Handbag | Classic Leather Pocket Purse - 2010-08-28 02:05:34-04
    Etienne Aigner might not create the It bags that send us all drooling, but the brand is always a reliable choice for classic accessories that doesn't cost the earth. The Colby is in keeping with the brand's traditions, from its tried and true signature brown leather to its clean trapezoidal line. It doesn't push the envelope, [...]
    
44. Bike Tubes Become Bags with Balkan Tango | Hungarian Fashion Label Makes Handbags Green - 2010-08-28 03:05:27-04
    Balkan Tango is a handbag brand which believes in the old saying "one man's trash is another's treasure." The Hungarian fashion house has crafted accessories from everything from old vinyl LPs to used tarpaulin. Today the label is focusing on handbags made from punctured bike inner tubes. They're no good for riding on anymore, but they [...]
    
45. Car Designer Frank Kurtis Inspires Retro Neiko Handbags | New York Label's V8 Collection - 2010-08-28 05:05:27-04
    You don't have to be a car enthusiast to appreciate the latest handbag collection from independent New York accessories brand Neiko. The label has recently released its V8 line, a range which pays tribute to American race car designer Frank Kurtis. Kurtis made iconic midget and roadster racing car designs for the Indy 500 race. They [...]
    
46. Evans Pleat Bag | Stylish Budget Taupe Polyurethane Handbag with Gold Hardware - 2010-08-28 05:05:54-04
    What a gorgeous handbag this is, and for what a reasonable price! Evans has truly outdone itself this time. I must admit, it was love at first sight when I clamped eyes on this purse. I love its tight pleated body, which creates a lovely wicker-like design on the bulk of the bag. It's gorgeous, and [...]
    
47. Bottega Veneta Snakeskin Slouch Bag | Stunning Anthracite Snakeskin Shoulder Bag - 2010-08-29 21:14:42-04
    Metallic bags have come and gone over the past few seasons. Very few have caught and held my eye. But Bottega Veneta's combination of metallic and snakeskin is really winning me over here. Honestly, I think it's the color that's doing it more than anything else. Anthracite, which is just a fancy name for grey, [...]
    
48. Felix Rey Love Letter Clutch | Cute Romantic Black Mesh Purse - 2010-08-29 22:55:57-04
    I've really admired the contemporary flavors of Felix Rey's latest accessories, but the fashion house has taken a turn for the childish with this Love Letter Clutch. I'm sure that some girls will love the whimsy of this romantic clutch, with its lips graphics and scrawled x kisses. But personally it just takes me back to [...]
    
49. Peter Pilotto Collaborated with Kipling for Space-Age Handbags | Intergalactic Designer Bag Collection - 2010-08-29 23:42:34-04
    British designer Peter Pilotto has teamed up with handbag house Kipling to launch a capsule collection. The Peter Pilotto for Kipling range features 11 different bags available in two space age prints: galaxy and machinery. They look a little far out, but if you love Peter Pilotto you'll be thrilled to see his famous digital printed [...]
    
50. Valentino Sequin-Embellished Rosette Tote | Romantic Grey Leather Tote Embellished With Roses And Sequins - 2010-08-30 00:00:11-04
    The Valentino accessories line has been covered in florals for the past few seasons. Sometimes this has been amazing, and sometimes lackluster. I'm afraid this sequined rosette tote is of the former persuasion. The grey leather is very on trend, and the color is rich and luxurious. Even the rosettes are interesting and well-placed in varying [...]
    
51. Fendi Mini Chef Bag | Pleated Black Monogram Handbag with Star Studs - 2010-08-30 00:31:11-04
    You don't need to be a dab hand in the kitchen to work this Mini Chef bag from Fendi. Its name doesn't make a lot of sense until you imagine this bag turned upside down. With its domed shape, gentle pleats, and wide band this bag could easily double as a chef's hat! Of course, it's been [...]
    
52. Coralie Charriol's New Handbag Collection | Socialiate Launches c.lili Bags via QVC - 2010-08-30 01:06:26-04
    Socialiate Coralie Charriol has launched her own range of handbags through QVC. The line is called c.lili by Coralie Charriol, a nod to her childhood nickname Lili. This may be her first foray into the world of handbags, but Charriol knows a thing or two about luxury. She's the creative director of her father's jewelry and [...]
    
53. Foley + Corinna Decker Shoulder Bag | Zipper Pocket Leather Convertible Fold-Over Purse - 2010-08-30 02:05:31-04
    Foley + Corinna's trademark urban aesthetic is delivered in a practical package in this Decker Shoulder Bag. At first glance it seems like so many shoulder bags. Sure there are three practical pockets and the leather is lovely, but the simple shape and lack of real design flair isn't like to turn heads. But there's more [...]
    
54. Recycled Instinctive Bags for Parents and Kids | Eco-Friendly Accessories for Conservation Charity - 2010-08-30 03:05:54-04
    Instinctive makes recycled bags for green parents and their kids too. The brand's new line of eco-friendly accessories are made entirely from recycled polyester, hardware, and webbing. For parents there's the Diaper Backpack, a much more user-friendly option than the traditional shoulder bags. While they slip down your arms as you struggle with little ones, the [...]
    
55. Fontanelli Heart Bag | Polished Italian Leather Romantic Handbag - 2010-08-30 04:05:16-04
    Fontanelli shows us that a uniquely shaped handbag doesn't have to look kitschy with this romantic Heart bag. I've seen many heart shaped bags in my time, but none quite as elegant as this. The clean lines and lack of embellishment definitely help its cause. There are only a few seams to break up the glossy [...]
