- Bottega Veneta Iridescent Leather Shoulder Bag | Lustrous Purple Leather Bag With Elegant Woven Edging - 2010-09-20 19:17:43-04
I am so enamored with Bottega Veneta's luxurious, but subtle, designs that it's really hard for me not to rave about them. This one line that never follows the trends. It either sets them or transcends them entirely, making accessories that stay relevant. This iridescent leather bag is a great example of their restrained [...]
- Judith Leiber Cupcake Fine-Crystal Clutch | Ridiculous And Overpriced Pastel Rhinestone Concoction - 2010-09-20 22:56:15-04
I always have a lot to say about Judith Leiber's bags. You gotta hand it to the woman, they are almost never boring. But, seriously, Ms. Leiber? A giant rhinestone cupcake? Really? Raise your hand if you think this is over-the-top. The craftsmanship on this cupcake clutch is fabulous, as usual. And if you happen to [...]
- Linea Pelle Perry Hobo | Woven Brown Structured Tassel Handbag - 2010-09-21 02:05:01-04
Linea Pelle adds some sophisticated style to the hobo bag with the Perry. Ever since Bottega Veneta began churning out its covetable woven handbags, the finish has become synonymous with luxury. Rather than creating a Bottega wannabe in the Perry, Linea Pelle has given the weave its own personality. The intricate finish is so striking, I [...]
- "Louis Vuitton: 100 Legendary Trunks" Book | Luxury Suitcases Celebrated in Coffee Table Hardcover - 2010-09-21 03:05:28-04
Louis Vuitton lovers; prepare to add another thing to your Christmas wishlist. Abrams Books is about to release a coffee table tome showcasing 100 of the luxury label's most beautiful trunks. Louis Vuitton: 100 Legendary Trunks features luggage dating back to the French fashion firm's inception in 1854. Some of the highlights include suitcases especially made [...]
- Liz Claiborne Jackie Demi Bag | Simple Small Mango Yellow Purse - 2010-09-21 04:05:53-04
If Jackie Onassis taught us anything about style, it's that nothing makes a bigger impression than a few classic elements. That's how you create a look that's simple, uncluttered, and timelessly fashionable. Liz Claiborne's followed the same philosophy with this small Jackie demi bag. The simple semi circle shape won't ever get passed over in this [...]
- Kenneth Cole's Rubber Accessories for AIDS Charity | Waterproof Totes & Rainboots for HIV Foundation - 2010-09-21 05:05:32-04
Fall showers need not trouble you if you're carrying one of the handbags from Kenneth Cole's cheeky new charity collection. The limited edition rubber range will benefit AWEARNESS, The Kenneth Cole Foundation, a non-profit entity which looks to prevent and raise awareness of HIV and AIDS. The charity effort is more than just lip service. While [...]
- Marcela Calvet Capucine Clutch | Exotic Lizard Skin Evening Purse - 2010-09-21 06:05:37-04
The name Marcela Calvet may be unfamiliar to you, but with this Capucine clutch the Argentinean label shows that it's more than capable of mixing it with the big boys. This is the kind of purse I'd expect to see from Carlos Falchi or Devi Kroell. Lizard skin is often seen as a subtler alternative to [...]
- Jessica McClintock Pleated Purse | Slouchy Satin Frame Clutch - 2010-09-21 08:01:26-04
I may be getting used to seeing luxe yet affordable designs from Jessica McClintock, but that doesn't mean that I appreciate them any less. After all, it isn't all too often that we see designs this pretty and evening-appropriate, but which cost less than $40. This gathered pleated clutch is just another example. The soft gray [...]
- Tango Babylon Evening Bag | Multi-Colored Tribal Beaded Purse - 2010-09-21 08:17:34-04
Bright, multi-colored, and coated in beads. I hate to say it, but the Babylon purse by Tango could serve well as an example to all of us for what not to do with beads. OK, so it may be a matter of personal taste. Some people may love the chaotic splash of colored semi-precious beads, or [...]
- Antik Batik Friel Chain-Embellished Suede Bag | Decadent Glam Rock Black Suede Shoulder Bag With Chain Trim - 2010-09-21 09:08:35-04
Antik Batik is a newer line that is quickly making a name for itself. Started in 1992 by Gabriella Cortese, the line features ethnically-inspired prints and designs. Sometimes these turn out looking really boho, and sometimes they come together in a fabulously rock-n-roll sort of way. This Friel bag could go either way, but I prefer [...]
- Antik Batik Louise Chain-Embellished Pouch Bag | Tiny Ecelectic Bead And Chain Embellished Black Leather Shoulder Bag - 2010-09-21 21:00:14-04
Antik Batik's eclectic sense of design is making a big splash amongst urban fashionistas. The line's hip, youthful vibe is a sigh of relief in a sea of plain leather bags. The Louise borrows from current and retro fashion from many continents that comes together into a beautiful concoction. The heavily beaded leather is matte and soft, [...]
- Lodis Eden Suzette Clutch | Large Snake Print Leather Purse - 2010-09-22 02:05:01-04
The snake tempted Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, but does this Eden Suzette purse from Lodis tempt you? The label has kept the style of this purse simple, preferring instead to let the mottled snakeskin print do the talking. That's a smart move, because this serpentine print is anything but subtle. It's not [...]
- Alexander McQueen Remembered at London Memorial | Stars Pay Tribute to British Designer - 2010-09-22 03:05:18-04
More than six months after his death, around 1000 mourners gathered at St Paul's Cathedral in London to remember fashion designer Alexander McQueen. Fashion editor Suzy Menkes, one of the speakers at the memorial, said that the classic cathedral would have been McQueen's "ultimate venue." Other guests included fellow designers Stella McCartney and Hussein Chalayan, models [...]
- London Fog Madeline Tote | Chic Practical Brown Synthetic Handbag - 2010-09-22 04:05:51-04
For a cute alternative for the office, consider trading in your briefcase for this Madeline tote. The Madeline is an excellent example of London Fog's design philosophy; it doesn't scream too loudly but it makes a real impression with its sophisticated, timeless style. Rather than cover its handbags in frippery, the label instead focuses on what [...]
- Agyness Deyn Carries Giles Deacon Triceratops Bag | Novelty Dinosaur Purse Silly or Chic? - 2010-09-22 05:05:15-04
I've often seen novelty handbags and wondered who would ever carry them. On spotting British supermodel Agyness Deyn carrying a triceratops bag from Giles Deacon at his after party on Monday night, I guess I have my answer. Perhaps you need to have supermodel good looks and confidence to pull off such a kitschy accessory. I'm [...]
- Longchamp Xlight Fantaisie Crossbody Bag | Practical Leopard Print Purse - 2010-09-22 06:05:46-04
After a while, the bags from Longchamp all start looking the same. But you could never accuse this Xlight Fantaisie of running with the pack. However, while it's a bit different I'm not sure this bag is altogether successful. The first thing you'll notice is that fierce leopard print body. Longchamp tends to favor conservative matte [...]
- Pineider Tri-Bag Leather Satchel | Formal Multi-level Closure Purse - 2010-09-22 09:29:32-04
If you are going to spend over $2000 on a handbag (yes, you heard me correctly, that's two thousand big ones), then you damn well want it to be versatile. Well, what is more versatile than a handbag that converts into three different sizes? You see those silver buckle like decorations on the front of this [...]
- Cynthia Vincent Slashed Pouch | Edgy Rock Chick Leather Purse - 2010-09-22 11:58:26-04
Cynthia Vincent has gone for an edgier look with this slashed leather pouch. OK, so we have seen these pouches before. The cute yet functional shape is fast becoming the mainstay of Cynthia Vincent's designs, and to avoid the shape getting boring she is always releasing new and exciting versions. This time she has skipped the embellishments, [...]
- Jimmy Choo Lareina Leather And Crochet Clutch | Bold But Delicately Feminine Black Evening Bag - 2010-09-22 20:06:52-04
It's been a while since I've reviewed a Jimmy Choo bag, but I am still thrilled by the fabulousness of the last season's accessories. Well, Choo doesn't disappoint with this vintage-inspired crochet Lareina clutch. It's every bit as amazing as I've come to expect. The combination of leather and crochet is masterfully executed. I can't say [...]
- Christian Louboutin Palais Royal Clutch | Gorgeous Intricately Designed Pink Satin Bag With Lace Overlay - 2010-09-22 23:00:48-04
The late 90's obsession with layering is definitely making a comeback. Earlier today I reviewed a leather Jimmy Choo clutch overlaid with beaded crochet, and now here comes this gorgeous bit of satin and lace. If this is an oncoming trend, consider me on board. Louboutin has found a way to combine this delicate pink satin [...]
- M. Andonia Le Group Le Tote | Fun Red Reclaimed Leather Bag - 2010-09-23 02:05:50-04
If the latest It bag is out of your price range, this cheeky substitute from M. Andonia may be more your speed. A designer bag is sketched onto the front of this more affordable purse known by the very French title Le Group Le Tote. But don't make the mistake of dismissing this as an inferior [...]
- Net-a-Porter Releases Fall Bag Guide | Video Announces New Season Trends - 2010-09-23 03:05:52-04
So many of us look to Net-a-Porter to make sure we stay abreast of the latest fashion trends. Now the high end fashion retailer has made things even easier with the release of its latest Net-a-Porter Bag Guide for fall 2010. The video guide gets up close and personal with some of the new season's best [...]
- Mad by Design Patent Croco Tote | Faux Crocodile Handbag with Leopard Trim - 2010-09-23 04:05:24-04
I've always admired Mad by Designs quirky accessories made with unusual materials like horn, mother of pearl, and eco-friendly bamboo. So I was a bit surprised to see this tote come from the same label. Unlike so many of Mad by Designs accessories, this is a purse which looks like it wants to fit in. So [...]
- Fashion Designers Make Newspaper Fashions for Yesterday's News | Recycled Paper Gets Stylish - 2010-09-23 05:05:43-04
Newspapers needn't become landfill once the stories get old. Yesterday's News makes cat litter from old editions, and it encouraged fashion designers to create stylish ensembles from the same unlikely material. Samantha Pleet, Bahar Shahpar, Lara Miller, and Anthony Lilore of Restore Clothing accepted the challenge and showcased their original outfits at the recent Green catwalk [...]
- Maddalena Marconi Small Satin Clutch | Red Origami Fabric Evening Purse with Diamante Details - 2010-09-23 06:05:28-04
If you've always dreamed of owning a Maddalena Marconi accessory but couldn't justify the thousands that they cost, I may have the answer. Feast your eyes on this elegant satin clutch, which is relatively affordable at $325. I say relatively affordable because when compared to those other Maddalena Marconi bags it's virtually a steal. Of course [...]
- Dan W Snakeskin Archway Clutch | Decorative Art Deco Minaudiere - 2010-09-23 08:23:46-04
This is, hands down, one of the wackiest handbag designs that I have seen in a long while! Dan W's bags are usually reasonably sensible, but clearly he was having a wild day when he designed this Archway minaudiere. I'm not complaining, however, because it is fun like this that reminds us of the enjoyment to [...]
- Michael Kors Hadley Large Leather Tote | Lightly Burnished Brown Leather Tote With Gold Belt Fastening - 2010-09-23 10:03:15-04
I should admit right off the bag that Michael Kors is not one of my favorite designers. I find that, most of the time, his designs are watered-down versions of the trends, and not in a classic sort of way. Also, I'm not always sure about the quality of his heavily mass-produced pieces. Which is [...]
- Burberry Prorsum Cadet Small Calf Hair And Leather Bag | Gorgeous Modern Primitive Chic Dark Brown Cresent Shoulder Bag - 2010-09-23 14:00:04-04
Burberry Prorsum is Burberry's experimental line. I have always thought that it was more interesting than their standard fare, as it is more fanciful and bizarre. This Cadet bag certainly lives up to my expectations, in a beautiful and unusual way. The dark brown ombre calf hair on this Cadet bag is amazing. It has so [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Heart Mirrors Tote Bag | Glitzy Gold Jacquard Handbag - 2010-09-24 02:05:04-04
Some may disagree, but I think everyone should have a little glitz in their life. And this Heart Mirrors tote from the relatively affordable Marc by Marc Jacobs line is a great way to get it. There's no ignoring this gold tote; it's that brassy, brash shade which demands attention. Of course it also polarizes people. [...]
- Celebrities Donate Purses to Handbag Heaven | Auction for Scottish Women's Charity - 2010-09-24 03:05:02-04
Handbags owned by some of the world's most fashionable stars will be auctioned off next week as part of Handbag Heaven. This charity initiative hopes to raise more than £60, 000 for the Women's Fund for Scotland, a charity which helps disadvantaged Scottish women and girls realize their dreams. Amongst the coveted celebrity handbags are a [...]
- Marcela Calvet Charisse Handbag | Chic Structured Brown Ostrich Purse - 2010-09-24 04:05:06-04
1940s film goddess Cyd Charisse inspired Argentinean brand Marcela Calvet to create this lovely handbag which shares her name. Just as Ms Charisse turned heads in the film classics Singin' in the Rain and Silk Stockings, this handbag is destined to make a real impression when it enters the room. Its shape is so unusual and [...]
- Marc Jacobs Launches Shopping Website | New Online e-Commerce Site - 2010-09-24 05:05:13-04
Marc Jacobs has gone high tech with the launch of its first e-commerce website. It's hard to believe that the iconic American brand hasn't made the foray into the world of e-sales before. At least it's doing it in a big way now, with a site that's fun as well as functional. The smiling virtual doorman and [...]
- Marni Charity Soft Shopping Bag | Colorful Children's Imaginary World Drawing Handbag - 2010-09-24 06:05:16-04
You've got to admire Marni and the altruism behind this whimsical shopping bag. It's part of a collection released to support the Children's Imaginary World, a project which helps to support children living on the streets of Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Tibet, India, and Sierra Leone. The colorful drawing featured on this bag was one of many [...]
- Tokidoki Poco Poco Messaggio | Cute Cartoon Covered Carry Bag - 2010-09-24 08:34:32-04
Well, that handbag name is a mouthful, isn't it?! Still, this cute Japanese handbag is great fun, even if you can't pronounce it after a couple of drinks. The purpose of this handbag is more function than fashion. After all, it is designed for carrying your prize possessions - your cameras, and wallet, and maybe even [...]
- Aldo Maybrier Bow Clutch | Cute Affordable Satin Evening Bag - 2010-09-24 09:01:18-04
Ooh, I don't half love bows! I love them even more when they cost only $24, like they do on this cute satin Aldo clutch. You don't just get one bow here, but three, all in a pretty little row. This is what separates this cute evening bag from all the others, with their big single [...]
- Chloe Marcie Small Leather Bag | Brick Red Carryall With Twisted Leather Details - 2010-09-24 17:17:44-04
I loved the larger, messenger-style of the Marcie, but Chloe has really stepped up their game on this smaller version. The shape isn't just smaller, it's more cohesive and streamlined. Trust Chloe to be able to improve upon an already impressive bag. The deep brick red color of the leather on the Marcie makes me think [...]
- Judith Leiber Owl Fine Crystal-Embellished Clutch | Questionably Elegant Animal-Shaped Bag - 2010-09-24 20:00:30-04
I always have a lot to say about Judith Leiber's bags. You gotta hand it to the woman, they are almost never boring. This owl clutch is right in line with her usual fare: sparkly, quirky, and of questionable taste. The craftsmanship on this owl clutch is fabulous, as usual. The use of colors is also [...]
- Mary Frances Wild Abandon Hobo | Flamboyant Beaded Brown Leather Handbag - 2010-09-25 02:05:59-04
Mary Frances always seems to design her purses with wild abandon but ironically enough this hobo, called Wild Abandon, is a bit tamer than most of her accessories! When it comes to Mary Frances, a little conservatism doesn't go astray. After all, Mary Frances in reserved mode is still pretty flamboyant. By reigning in her natural [...]
- Asprey & Globe-Trotter Make Londoner Travel Bags | Luxury Handcrafted Crocodile Accented Suitcases - 2010-09-25 03:05:36-04
London luxury label Asprey has teamed up with travel brand Globe-Trotter for an opulent range of suitcases. Asprey's new creative director Bruce Hoeksema has designed five differently sized Londoner bags, ranging from an 18 inch trolley to a 33 inch suitcase. There are two color combinations to choose from. Conservative travelers will probably love the matte black [...]
- Matt & Nat Yacht Clutch | Eco-Friendly Studded Vegan Leather Zip Purse - 2010-09-25 04:05:17-04
Matt & Nat takes the clutch purse from the red carpet to the city jungle with this Yacht clutch. Despite its nautical name, this is a purse that seems made for dry land. It has a real urban feel with its chunky pyramid studs and zippered accents. It looks like it's made of edgy black leather, [...]

- Michael Kors Darrington Flap Hobo Saddle Bag | Urban Weathered Leather Shoulder Bag - 2010-09-25 21:48:24-04
Oh, Michael Kors, what am I to do with you? Your designs always come so close to being amazing, but miss the mark at just the last minute. This is the way I have always felt about Michael Kors, and unfortunately, this Darrington bag lives up to my low expectations. The leather treatment on the Darrington [...]
- Maxx New York Hepburn Satchel | Large Purple Suede Purse with Ring Accents - 2010-09-26 02:05:54-04
We've got our Gossip Girls and our Hollywood starlets, but modern celebrities just don't seem to have the style of their vintage predecessors. So I've been thrilled to see Maxx New York looking to Hollywood icons of yesteryear for inspiration. I'm not sure whether this Hepburn satchel was named after Audrey or Katharine, but I [...]
- Airline Loses Giorgio Gucci's Luggage | Fashion Heir's Missing Travel Bags - 2010-09-26 03:05:33-04
There's a certain irony to the heir of a handbag empire losing his travel bags. But that's just when happened when Giorgio Gucci was on a flight from Madrid to Philadelphia. But this loss is about more than the physical travel cases. "The luggage contained over $50,000 worth of vintage Gucci bags -- one made by his [...]
- McKlein Litigator Briefcase | Classic Leather V Series Laptop Office Bag - 2010-09-26 04:05:04-04
You don't have to be a big shot lawyer to appreciate the elegant craftsmanship of this Litigator briefcase from McKlein. The design is classic and sophisticated. The brown and black colors aren't very cutting edge, but the fine grained leather will only look better with age. The design is simple, with some elegant seams and a [...]
- Giselle Bundchen Stars in Roberto Cavalli Advertisement | Boho Glam or Hippie Mess? - 2010-09-26 05:05:18-04
Roberto Cavalli is relying on the star power of Giselle Bundchen and photography's dynamic duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott to sell its fall/winter 2010 campaign. There's no doubt that this holy trilogy know how to make beautiful advertisements, and they do it well. This advertisement, which celebrates 40 years of the brand, is dramatic, sexy, [...]
- Temperley London Duchess Hobo Chain Leather Bag | Overpriced But Underdesigned Tan Bag - 2010-09-26 23:48:51-04
Dear Fashion, I just don't know why you insist on throwing all these Temperley London bags in my face. Is it some kind of conspiracy? Is the leather treated with some kind of magic substance that seeps into your skin and makes you happy? Because, otherwise, I just don't see spending this much money on [...]
- Antik Batik Anka 1 Suede Shoulder Bag | Gorgeous Grey Hobo With Chain Filigree - 2010-09-27 01:23:54-04
Antik Batik's new line of accessories is really impressing me. Their signature blend of casual bohemian style with ethnic influences is inspired. This Anka 1 bag totally lives up to my expectations. The soft suede material is a deep, rich grey color that is versatile and chic. The delicate chain filigree overlay sparkles beautifully against [...]
- Miu Miu Patent Leather Ruffle Bag | Flamboyant Convertible Glossy Handbag - 2010-09-27 02:05:51-04
Perhaps I'm just a bit difficult to please. After looking at one too many classic but uninspired handbags from Miu Miu, I began to long for something a little more flamboyant and fun. Well the label has delivered just that and then some with this Patent Leather Ruffle Bag. While the classic bags bored me, this [...]
- Rimowa's Vintage Travel Bags | Limited Edition 1950s Aluminum Suitcases - 2010-09-27 03:05:34-04
Rimowa is going back to its roots with a limited edition version of the aluminum corrugated travel case it made famous in the 1950s. The brand was the first to create a trunk of this kind, and it hopes that it can excite customers all over again with the distinctive style. "We particularly want to appeal [...]
- Moonsus City Carry-All Tote | Simple Signature Fabric Shoulder Bag - 2010-09-27 04:05:02-04
Finally there's a bag which does exactly what it promises. Meet the City Carry-All Tote from Moonsus. This is the kind of purse that could so easily be passed over. Moonsus' gentle signature print isn't as obnoxious as so many of the ones in the marketplace, but that also means it's easy to ignore. The tote [...]
- SEIL Bag Makes Bike Riding Safe | Cool Korean Light Up Backpack Concept - 2010-09-27 05:05:26-04
The SEIL Bag is one of those nifty concepts that I'd love to see mass marketed. Korean inventors Lee Myung Su, Park Geun Wan, and Park Okhee of the Leemyungsu Designlab came up with the backpack which looks to make cycling much safer. LED displays embedded into the accessory illuminate with messages for the traffic behind [...]
- Moschino Cheap & Chic New Wave Hobo | Ruched Studded Purple Leather Purse - 2010-09-27 06:05:41-04
Given its name you might expect this Moschino hobo to channel 80s retro style, but this ruched purse is rooted firmly in the modern world. The name comes not from a lot of color and flash, but the dramatic waves of ruched leather. These tiny pleats are held in place by small studs along the top [...]
- Botkier Noa Orange Tote | Folded Purse With Exterior Pockets - 2010-09-27 08:42:47-04
In my opinion a sign of a really elegant handbag is one that doesn't have to use over the top decoration to demonstrate that it is luxurious. The Noa tote from Botkier is one such purse, employing the time honoured technique of delicate folding to make it look great. The shape is traditional, in that it has [...]
- Ed Hardy Sochi Clutch | Dramatic and Over-the-top Quilted Applique Purse - 2010-09-27 09:10:37-04
Wow. This is quite a clutch. Ed Hardy has pulled out all the stops to make this dramatic and obvious synthetic leather purse. With a bold red patent body, wavy and noticeable shape, and quirky tattoo styled applique decoration, this isn't going to be to everyone's tastes. Any bag that is this bright is bound to [...]
