- Mini's New Travel Bags | Rooftop, Black Jack, and Shout Luggage for Jetsetters - 2010-08-30 21:21:22-04
I can't imagine loading up my Mini for a road trip, but if you'd happily squeeze yourself into the small car for a getaway you might be interested in the marque's new luggage collections. Mini has released three travel bag lines: Shout, Black Jack, and Rooftop. The Rooftop range features two rolling hard-shell cases. The Cabin [...]
- Forzieri Seastar Hobo | White Italian Leather Starfish Handbag - 2010-08-30 21:52:42-04
Forzieri helps us hang onto summer for a little longer with its fun Seastar Hobo. But has the brand does enough to really inspire us? It might be called a hobo, but this bag is a lot sleeker than the slouchy bohemian styled purses the name typically suggests. It has clean lines and a structured finish [...]
- Christian Louboutin Eugenia Velvet Clutch | Elegant And Eye-Catching Black Velvet Clutch With Tassel - 2010-08-30 22:46:31-04
Black velvet is having a major comeback right now. Not that it ever goes completely out of style, but a lot of us kind of OD'ed on it in the 90's and haven't thought about it much since. This Eugenia clutch by Christian Louboutin uses the fabric in a masterful and elegant way. All velvets are [...]
- Fossil Sutter East-West Bag | Multicolored Flower Patterned Leather Top Zip Handbag - 2010-08-31 02:05:31-04
Fossil livens up a basic east/west bag with a garden of colorful blooms in the Sutter. Take away the pretty print and this is a fairly boring bag. Its tan leather is of excellent quality, but the color and shape really do blend into the background. The colorful floral is what saves it for me. The [...]
- Burberry Prorsum Callaway Large Pleated Leather Bag | Runway Chic Dark Burgundy Pleated Leather Bag With Multiple Handles - 2010-08-31 02:45:25-04
The fall runways were replete with utilitarian, military-inspired looks balanced out with small feminine details. This Burberry Prorsum Callaway bag is one of those structured, but still ladylike accessories. It's charming without being precious, and practical without being boring, but honestly, I think it's a little boring considering the Prorsum line's usually cutting edge aesthetic. The [...]
- Bono & Ali Hewson Star in Louis Vuitton Core Values Advertising Campaign | Ethical Edun Handbag Featured in New LV Commercial - 2010-08-31 03:05:09-04
U2 frontman Bono and his wife Ali Hewson are the faces of the latest Louis Vuitton Core Values campaign. They are shot against a majestic South African backdrop. Annie Leibovitz shot the advertisement which is groundbreaking in more ways than one. It's the first time Bono has appeared in a commercial without his musical bandmates, and [...]
- Francesco Biasia Sylvie Tote | Blue Crocodile Stamped Leather Cut Out Handbag - 2010-08-31 04:05:47-04
Francesco Biasia's Sylvie sees the brand jazz up the traditional tote bag with a splash of crocodile scales. The scales stamped onto the bright blue toned calfskin are really what make this tote special. I've never seen a blue crocodile before, but the stamping is so realistic I'd almost imagine this was the real deal. It [...]
- H&M's Mystery Designer Videos | Will Tomas Maier & Carolina Herrera Collaborate with Budget Retail Chain? - 2010-08-31 05:05:24-04
H&M has us all guessing about their next designer collaborations. The affordable retailer recently released two teaser videos on its Facebook page designed to get tongues wagging. The first is of a male designer speaking in a European accent. His face is obscured, but one fashion fan is convinced that it's Bottega Veneta's Tomas Maier. "It's Tomas [...]
- Franchi Queenie Clutch | Elegant Quilted Crystal Embellished Satin Purse - 2010-08-31 06:05:59-04
Franchi reminds us that opulence doesn't always been excess with this Queenie Clutch. With its regal name you might expect the Queenie to be dripping in jewels. But instead it relies on understated style to make an impact. There are gems, but rather than large faceted jewels we instead see tiny crystals dotting the diamond quilting. [...]
- Serpui Marie Straw Clutch | Unusual Eastern Inspired Slouchy Purse - 2010-08-31 08:33:27-04
I am getting used to seeing visually exciting bags from Serpui Marie. This little black straw clutch takes their signature material and makes it into something more than a little eastern inspired. You could say, of course, that any raffia-esque bag is eastern inspired. However, the black lacquered effect on this particular beauty means that it [...]
- Kate Spade Cornelia Street Hold-all | New Noel Blair Tote Version of a Wintery Handbag - 2010-08-31 08:52:43-04
It is no secret that I am head over heels in love with Kate Spade's Cornelia Street tote. It therefore came as a rather wonderful surprise when I came across a Noel Blair version, just in time for winter. The difference, of course, is in the shape. Gone is the vintage inspired bowler bag shape, to [...]
- Nancy Gonzalez Structured Crocodile Bag | Timeless Burnt Orange Crocodile Skin Handbag - 2010-08-31 17:46:19-04
I have recently become a huge fan of the Nancy Gonzalez line. The Colombian designer has an extremely light design touch and maintains exacting quality standards for the materials of her exotic accessories, and the results are impeccable. To be honest, I'm not crazy about this conservative style, personally, but it definitely has a classic [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Nico Lamb Shoulder Bag | Quirky Anthracite Shearling Handbag With Sporty Striped Strap - 2010-08-31 20:00:55-04
Marc Jacobs always has a sharp eye for what's going on, or what's about to happen, in fashion. Which means that sometimes his designs look a little weird. New is always weird at first. And the Marc by Marc Jacobs line has a lot more room to be experimental, as it has a more street [...]
- Frye Softy Hobo | Soft Large Seafoam Leather Handbag - 2010-09-01 02:05:29-04
Frye has created a handbag which lives up to its name here. This hobo is a real softy! The name comes from the superior leather used to construct this generously sized hobo. It gives the bag that trademark hobo slouch, and feels gorgeous to the touch. I also love the way it ruches gently around the [...]
- Diane Von Furstenberg Limited Edition Charity Tote | Portrait Whatever it Takes Bag Helps Future Leaders - 2010-09-01 03:05:35-04
Diane Von Furstenberg is the latest designer to collaborate with British charity website Whatever It Takes. The site has just released a limited edition tote bag with a graphic design based on a vintage photograph of Von Furstenberg herself. Diane Von Furstenberg's limited edition tote joins a range of other celebrity designed accessories and homewares. Amongst [...]
- Furla Halley Hobo | Boho Coffee Leather Fringe Handbag - 2010-09-01 04:05:58-04
Fringing and hobo bags go together like Dolce and Gabbana. While the combination is somewhat predictable, when done well it can be the perfect way to add a touch of boho to your outfit. So does Furla succeed with the Halley? I'm still a little torn on this one. It's hard to fault a handbag like [...]
- Gucci Launches New Flagship Website | Fashion House Gets Tech Savvy with Online Store - 2010-09-01 05:05:30-04
Gucci has gone high tech with the launch of its new online flagship boutique today. The shiny new website features a host of extras for fans, including a virtual front row seat at Milan Fashion Week, hologram window displays, instore iPad stations, and a brand new welcome video. Gucci creative director Frida Giannini has overseen the [...]
- Ghibli Jeweled Evening Purse | Black Patent Leather Tassel Chain Strap Bag - 2010-09-01 06:05:00-04
I'm sure that Ghibli had the best of intentions when creating this jeweled evening purse. But somewhere along the way it seems its design vision when astray. This is an ambitious purse, with golden brown stitching haphazardly snaking about the black patent leather body. To up the glam factor Ghibli seems to have thrown a handful [...]
- Santi Multi-Colored Sequined Clutch | Bright and Cheerful Decorative Evening Bag - 2010-09-01 07:58:05-04
In this spirit of this season's parties, carnivals and fiestas, let me introduce this cute sequined Santi clutch. Covered head to toe in layer upon layer of colorful sequins, this slouchy clutch looks like it should be surrounded by showers of confetti, and illuminated by the light of a thousand fireworks. It is so cheery that [...]
- Ruffle Double Handled Handbag | Unusual Pink and White Layered Hobo - 2010-09-01 08:17:14-04
Sometimes there comes along a bag that is so remarkable looking, that it doesn't even matter that it is made by a brand you have never heard of before. This ruffled handbag by "MyGift" is one such purse! It only takes one look to realise why this stands out. The swathes of white are interspersed by [...]
- Mulberry Daria Leather Shoulder Bag | Sweet And Trendy Light Grey Leather Bag With Braided Strap - 2010-09-01 18:04:21-04
Mulberry has a meticulous eye for the timeless. Almost all of their designs are built to last with few frills or unnecessarily trendy features. Which is why I was somewhat surprised by the design of this Daria bag. While it has some of Mulberry's classic appeal, it has some trendy elements that are unusual for [...]
- Miu Miu Paloma Leather Satchel | Classic Rudy Red Leather Handbag - 2010-09-01 23:00:05-04
While I love Miu Miu's sometimes off-kilter and avant garde design approach, when they do classics, the results are always spot on. Every detail of this gorgeous Paloma bag has been carefully thought through, from the drop dead red color to the tiny studs on the straps. Seriously, though, let's talk about this color. It's extraordinary! [...]
- Giani Bernini Catalina Hobo | Summery Bone Linen Handbag - 2010-09-02 02:05:45-04
It might have just turned fall, but if you're not prepared to let go of summer just yet look to a bag like this Catalina hobo from Giani Bernini. It's not quite as obvious as carrying a brightly colored beach bag or woven straw bag about, but it definitely channels summer style. The secret is the [...]
- Lauren Bush Joins Gap for New Charity Totes | FEED Bags Help American Children Get Healthy - 2010-09-02 03:05:13-04
Lauren Bush has been feeding children in need around the world for years through her FEED Projects totes, but now the former first daughter is turning her attention closer to home. She's teamed up with Gap to create three new charity totes. Sales from the new FEED Projects bags will benefit the National School Lunch Program, [...]
- Giorgio Armani Pleated Handbag | Striking Medium Leather Ruched Sack Purse - 2010-09-02 04:05:57-04
All over textures can look overwhelming, but Giorgio Armani has got the balance just right with this Pleated Handbag. The soft Nappa leather is carefully crafted into tiny, tight pleats. It might remind me a little of the sports skirts I used to wear in high school, but I think the effect looks much more chic [...]
- Bottega Veneta's Early Brick Bag Release | Fashion House Launches Handbag on Fashion's Night Out - 2010-09-02 05:05:20-04
Are we all getting excited about Fashion's Night Out? As September 10 inches ever closer we're learning more about what our favorite handbag designers have in store. As part of the celebrations, Bottega Veneta will offer a special pre-launch release of its new Brick bag. The Brick has a striking three-dimensional silhouette made from nero cervo [...]
- Giuseppe Zanotti Multi-Crystal Clutch | Multicolored Jewel Black Suede Flap Purse - 2010-09-02 06:05:24-04
We're just leaving summer, but fashion is already looking ahead to colder weather. Nothing says winter like suede, and when it's dressed up like this it's downright irresistible. The glammed up style comes from a shower of sparkling colored crystals. I love the way these tiny jewels pop against the soft black suede. That suede is [...]
- Frye Vintage Stud Tote | Classic Chestnut Leather Hold-all - 2010-09-02 07:42:30-04
Every girl needs a spacious leather tote. It is a wardrobe essential, and this vintage purse from Frye ticks all of my boxes. The quality of the leather is important in a bag like this. Of course it is. After all, this tote will almost definitely be carted around for years and years to come, and [...]
- Whiting & Davis Zebra Clutch | Screen Print Animal Patterned Evening Bag - 2010-09-02 08:01:30-04
Has anyone else noticed Whiting & Davis getting a little wackier with their mesh handbags in the past few months, or is it just me? The brand seem to have discovered the potential of screen printing, and they are going at it pedal to the metal. Now they have added some animal print into the mix, [...]
- Miu Miu Wool Crepe Metal Flower Bag | Overdecorated Floral Black & White Tote With Oversized Clasp - 2010-09-02 17:05:23-04
Miu Miu makes cutting edge styles wearable and livens up classic pieces with their quirky sense of design. As a line, they take a lot of design risks, and like anyone who takes a lot of risks, sometimes they fall short. I'm afraid this crepe metal flower bag is an example of this. I really like [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Baby Aidan Bowling Bag | Burgundy Leather Feminine Pleated Handbag - 2010-09-02 23:48:48-04
I've never really thought of bowling bags as particularly feminine. They usually have a sporty androgynous appeal. The Baby Aidan is definitely the girliest bowling bag I have ever seen, but it still retains the casual charm of classic bowling bags. The rich burgundy leather on the Baby Aidan forces you to notice it. The color [...]
- Recycled Bandanas Become Purses | Anamu Makes South Western Clutches - 2010-09-03 03:05:02-04
Wearing scarves and bandanas has become a bit passé, but that doesn't mean you need to phase the colorful squares of fabric out of your wardrobe altogether. Fashion brand Anamu is giving these accessories a new lease on life by turning them into fun clutches and cuffs. Designer Ana Maria Munoz was clearly influenced by the [...]
- Urban Junket's New Shape-Shifting Tote | Convertible Eco-Friendly Cotton Canvas Bag - 2010-09-03 05:05:23-04
I've seen many convertible handbags in my time, but few with the shape-shifting properties of this new convertible tote from Urban Junket. Strategically placed snap clasps allow you to easily change the purse from a simple tote to a structured doctor's bag or jaunty boat shaped tote. With three distinct silhouettes, this is really like getting [...]
- Chloe Amy Small Leather Shoulder Bag | Luxe Asymmetrical Blue Bag With Twisted Black Leather Strap - 2010-09-03 21:20:09-04
Chloe is really on a roll, lately. This season's accessories line has been the perfect balance of trend-setting and traditional. Even when Chloe is trying out new styles, they still manage to come off timelessly beautiful. Like this Amy bag, which will doubtlessly be seen soon on the arms of the most cutting edge fashionistas. The [...]
- Givenchy Pluto Bag | Beaded & Studded Tribal Black Suede Handbag - 2010-09-03 22:06:50-04
When I think of Givenchy I think of classic, minimalist styling that transcends the trends. So I was a little surprised to find this Pluto bag in the brand's latest collection. This bag seems like it was designed with contemporary tastes firmly in mind. Studs are in, so let's cover the bag in the tiny silver [...]
- Global Elements Bamboo Clutch | Rustic Asian Flower Purse - 2010-09-03 23:19:52-04
Lately we've seen bamboo used to create soft, eco-friendly fabrics, but this purse from Global Elements reminds us of the appeal of bamboo in its original form. Bamboo is a lovely material, with its natural glossy surface and rustic, Asian style. But I'm not sure whether I'd want to carry around a clutch made from this [...]
- Gucci Galaxy Convertible Satchel | Oversized Black Slouchy Leather Handbag - 2010-09-04 00:18:28-04
Gucci's drab signature prints leave me a bit cold, but when the fashion house forgets about spruiking its brand it's capable of producing some interesting accessories. The Galaxy is one such purse. It may not be as cutting edge as its space-aged name suggests, but that only works in the Galaxy's favor. It's firmly rooted in [...]
- Guess Chariot Hobo | Strappy Large Black Leather Handbag - 2010-09-04 02:05:07-04
Remember when everyone was wearing those strappy gladiator sandals? It seems Guess does, and decided to reinterpret the footwear trend as a bag. That bag is the Chariot Hobo. It might remind me of the fashions of seasons past, but I don't mind this hobo one bit. The studded strap accents which decorate the sides help [...]
- H&M Collaborates with Lanvin | French Luxury Brand for Winter Diffusion Line - 2010-09-04 03:05:39-04
We didn't have to wait until September 9 after all, as H&M has decided to spill the beans early on its next diffusion line. For the collection the affordable fashion retailer will team up not with Bottega Veneta as first rumored, but with Lanvin. I had my heart set on Bottega Veneta, but the French [...]
- Miss Gustto Ashley Tote | Affordable Crinkled Brown Synthetic Handbag - 2010-09-04 04:05:48-04
We've all admired the modern accessories from Gustto, but now it's time to turn our attentions to the label's little sister line, Miss Gustto. Its name suggests that the styling is geared towards the teen market, but I think Miss Gustto is every bit as grownup as the original collection. If this Ashley tote were made [...]
- Articles of H.O.P.E.'s New Eco-Friendly Bags | Green Shoppers for a Cause - 2010-09-04 05:05:49-04
Articles of H.O.P.E. is the latest company to take up the fight against plastic bags. The label has just launched its collection of eco-friendly shopping bags. The brand is starting small with two signature lines: the simple but boldy colored H.O.P.E. Sac and the more fashion focused gNg, or Green and Gorgeous, range. H.O.P.E. stands for Help [...]
- First Look at Kardashian Sisters Bebe Collection | Kim, Kourtney & Khloe Add Handbags and Footwear to Fashion Range - 2010-09-05 03:05:45-04
It seems we won't have to wait until next year to see some Kardashian-designed handbags after all. Ahead of the 2011 launch of their signature style line, the sisters Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe will add shoes and purses to their current designer collection for Bebe. I've got to say, I'm feeling underwhelmed by the sneak peek [...]
- Tory Burch Dayton Leather Messenger Satchel | Unique Chocolate Leather Satchel With Uptown Details - 2010-09-05 19:17:37-04
Tory Burch's posh line isn't just popular with uptown girls, anymore. She's been adding some edgy touches that give her accessories a broader appeal. This Dayton leather messenger satchel isn't particularly edgy, but it is more practical and less preppy than a lot of the Burch designs. Tory Burch has added a lot of stylish design [...]
- Halston Heritage Alice Clutch | Pleated Orange Stingray Textured Leather Purse - 2010-09-05 21:38:59-04
I was initially excited by the prospect of Halston's Heritage diffusion line, but the reality has left me a little disappointed. All too often it seems the brand sacrifices style to cut the dollars, but not here with the Alice clutch. Pleated purses are a dime a dozen, but the structured pleats of this clutch make [...]
- Assouline's New Tommy Hilfiger Book | Designer Celebrated in Limited Edition Volume - 2010-09-05 21:56:25-04
American fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger is celebrated in an opulent new book from Assouline. The tome, from Assouline's Ultimate Collection, looks at the man and the brand behind the 25-year-old fashion label. "This book is a culmination of my life's work, sharing some of my innermost thoughts throughout the years," said Tommy Hilfiger. "The Tommy Hilfiger [...]
- Judith Leiber Tessen Fine Crystal-Embellished Clutch | Glamorous Red Rhinestone Fan Clutch With Delicate Chain Strap - 2010-09-05 23:00:33-04
Judith Leiber is probably the accessory designer that I have the most tortured relationship to. Her animal-shaped clutches are sometimes elegant in an irreverent way and sometimes just plain ridiculous. The rest of her bags have a streamlined beauty that I find very appealing, but their prices are so outrageous that I just can't get [...]
- Harajuku Lovers Frosting Hobo Bag | Cute Fitness Girls Sports Patterned Polyester Purse - 2010-09-05 23:20:25-04
Few handbag lines stick to their creative vision as doggedly as Harajuku Lovers. Not everyone has warmed to Gwen Stefani's cutesy purse collection, but the girls who do love it are never disappointed. And they're just the kind of bagistas she's created this Frosting hobo for. It's easy to say the Fitness Girls print is juvenile [...]
- Harveys Madison Carry All | Large Black Woven Seatbelt Tote Bag - 2010-09-06 02:05:16-04
Harveys has given its popular woven seatbelt designs a modern makeover with this Madison bag. While most Harveys bags feature a distinctive large woven design, the Madison's weave is daintier and more delicate. Of course the brand hasn't let go of its trademark seatbelts, but by using much thinner strips it has achieved a look which [...]
- Unusual Handmade Purses from Chiwit Design | Original Handcrafted Leather Bags - 2010-09-06 03:05:45-04
Chiwit Design goes back to basics with its quirky handbag designs. The label, which has bases in Italy and Thailand, shuns modern factories in favor of old-fashioned handicrafts. While the techniques are time-honored, the designer Andrea Mangiarotti's purses are very modern. Rather than follow the trends though, she prefers to go it alone with more original, [...]
- Hayden-Harnett Kira Hobo | Sophisticated Medium Black Leather Handbag - 2010-09-06 04:05:05-04
It's all about classic style with this Kira hobo from Hayden-Harnett. The bag shuns the hobo's bohemian reputation for something much sleeker and more sophisticated. From the soft pebbled black leather to the large geometric quilting, this is a purse for all seasons. It's modern, yet traditional enough to easily blend into any environment. I love [...]
- Mingus Designs Makes Adorable Green Bags | Inked Sustainable Material Handbags - 2010-09-06 05:05:46-04
Australian fashion label Mingus Designs combines whimsical designs and eco-friendly practices with its collection of green handbags and scarves. The purses are made from sustainable materials including hemp, linen, and organic cotton, and then accented with upcycled leather. Many purists believe leather has no place in green design, but by recycling existing skins at least the [...]
- Helena de Natalio Elizabeth Clutch | Unusual Ruffled Metallic Purse - 2010-09-06 06:05:35-04
Elizabeth is a name that's classic and conservative, a royal moniker bestowed about English queens. So it was surprising to see that this quirky little purse shares its name. This clutch is far from conservative. In fact, it may be the most far out accessory I've seen of late. Honestly it's left me scratching my head, [...]
- Pretoria Castle Brown Shaded Bowler | Small Fabric & Leather Bowling Bag - 2010-09-06 08:53:34-04
The problem with bowling bags is that it can be hard to make something that stands out from the crowd. That is why this interesting color combination from Pretoria Castle is worth paying attention to. You see, you don't often find handbags that combine a pale caramel brown, with a darker tan shade. Despite the fact [...]
