- Nick & Nora East West Set | Cute Affordable Cherry Purses - 2010-10-18 16:27:38-04
Cherries! These gorgeous 1950s cherries make these little cosmetics and travel purses a lovely retro addition to any holiday. Nick & Nora generally tend to produce purses that are intended more for function than fabulousness. However, the fun decorations mean that the functional plastic fabric becomes something a lot prettier. You wouldn't feel bad packing this [...]
- Stella McCartney Embossed Faux Leather Saddle Bag | Casual Dark Green Shoulder Bag - 2010-10-18 17:00:50-04
Stella McCartney's dedication to animal rights is admirable. In her career as a designer, she has never used animal products. This has garnered her a lot of environmentally-conscious fans, but sometimes her designs suffer as a result of her use of synthetic materials. The problem with the embossed dark green faux leather that makes up this [...]
- Ralph Lauren Opens Flagship Women's Store | Designer Gets Keys to New York City - 2010-10-18 21:16:57-04
Ralph Lauren has opened the doors of his New York City women's flagship store. The boutique, located at 888 Madison Avenue, is a complement to the men's flagship store which stands in the historic Rhinelander Mansion across the street. The women's store is every bit as grand as its masculine counterpart, with four storeys and 22, [...]
- Bottega Veneta Braided Metallic Leather Bag | Cool Blue Designer Shoulder Bag - 2010-10-18 22:00:23-04
Bottega Veneta has put out a fabulous fall collection of handbags. They have been done in a deep, rich color palette with small, sophisticated details like braiding. This metallic blue shoulder bag is another great addition to their growing collection of modern classics. I haven't ever really been a big fan of metallics. They're just [...]
- The SAK Indio Leather Tote | Sophisticated Alternative to Crochet Purse - 2010-10-18 22:17:52-04
We looked at crocheted version of The SAK's Indio tote last year, but I've only recently discovered the label's luxury leather alternative. This is a great option if you adored the Indio's silhouette, but just couldn't come at the rustic knitted crochet body. This leather alternative is sleeker and more luxurious, although it doesn't do the [...]
- Tianni Zoe Satchel | Affordable Retro Coral Red PVC Carryall Handbag - 2010-10-19 02:05:41-04
Tianni offers us plenty of space and retro style with this Zoe satchel. This isn't the kind of handbag that cries out for attention, but there's something endearing about its white handles and trim. I love the way these light, bright accents pop against the bright red PVC. The pleats seem a bit awkward and unevenly [...]
- Shop Celebrity Items at I-ELLA Website | New Site for Sustainable Fashion Shopping - 2010-10-19 03:12:05-04
The new website I-ELLA takes the old fashioned concept of fashion swapping parties global, and even some of our favorite celebrities are getting on board. The member's only site lets you shop from the closets of other I-ELLA fans, so you can enjoy big discounts and know you're helping the planet at the same time. Gossip [...]
- Tignanello My Military Hobo | Contemporary Neutral Toned Leather Handbag - 2010-10-19 04:05:03-04
Tignanello is rarely a handbag brand that follows the fads, but the label is surprisingly on trend with this My Military hobo. Tignanello has always embraced muted hues, so it knows how to use them here to great effect. The colors are gentle enough to suit any situation, but still very modern. That should ensure that [...]
- One Mango Tree Handbags from Uganda | Fashion Label Empowers African Women - 2010-10-19 05:05:49-04
One Mango Tree is the latest fashion brand working with artisans abroad to make a difference. The label's clothes, handbags, and other accessories are handcrafted by women living in Northern Uganda. One Mango Tree founder Halle Butvin traveled to Africa in 2006, and was amazed to find many women were trained as tailors through international aid [...]
- Timmy Woods Secretary Cross-Body Bag | Whimsical Wooden Horse Head Purse - 2010-10-19 06:05:25-04
As I write here in Australia, current fashion is all about the spring racing carnival. You don't need to love horse racing to enjoy the celebrations, which for many of us are all about frocking up, pouring a few glasses of bubbles, and feeling fabulous. I've chosen my dress for the big Melbourne Cup race, [...]
- Fossil Maddox Convertible Tote | Sun Patterned Leather Satchel - 2010-10-19 08:49:19-04
For some reason the orange, yellow and green stripes fanning out across this Fossil tote remind me of a sunset or a sunrise. Fossil handbags have been getting smarter and smarter recently, and this unusually colored satchel is no exception. Those tones make it perfect for fall, as does the classic and rather traditional shape. If [...]
- Prezzo Patent Evening Bag | Embossed Snakeskin Metallic Clutch - 2010-10-19 17:43:39-04
Smart yet affordable clutches that easily make the transition from day to night. These are Prezzo's specialty! For the daytime, this patent clutch is a smart and simple purse, jazzed up with a little touch of metallic snakeskin. It will fit demurely in with a smart business outfit - although it won't store all that many [...]
- Tod's Gummy G-Bag Tote | Medium Red Transparent PVC Handbag - 2010-10-20 02:05:21-04
There are a few things I expect from Tod's: sophistication, structure, and style. Sadly, the brand forgot about the first criteria with this Gummy G-Bag tote. The original Tod's G-Bags quickly became a go-to bag for down to earth celebs like Jessica Alba and Julia Roberts. So I'm not sure why the label decided to give [...]
- PETA Condemns Animal Skins in Victoria Beckham's Designs | Animal Rights Group Sends Video to Pop Star - 2010-10-20 03:05:30-04
PETA is always ready to speak out against fur and animal skin loving celebrities, and now the animal rights group has Victoria Beckham firmly in its sights. The label won't be taking the extreme measure of dousing the former Spice Girl in animal blood as was rumored, but it is concerned that she may be ignorant [...]
- Tommy Hilfiger Mission Madras Tote | Small Colorful Plaid Carryall Handbag - 2010-10-20 04:05:39-04
Tommy Hilfiger delivers relaxed style in a pretty plaid package with this Mission Madras Tote. Madras material always makes me think of picnic lunches and days spent with family. There's something so easy and whimsical about the rainbow blend of pink, orange, yellow, blue, and green. That mix isn't meant for sophisticated lunch dates, but it's [...]
- Jennifer Lopez and Twins Model for Gucci's Children Collection | New "American Idol" Judge Goes Beach for Ad Campaign - 2010-10-20 05:05:08-04
Jennifer Lopez and her two-year-old twins Max and Emme will be the faces of Gucci's new children's line. We scoffed about this luxury kidswear range when it was announced, but the Lopez-Antony clan seems like just the kind of folks who'd indulge in this kind of fashion collection. Famous fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott [...]
- Tory Burch McLane Mini Bag | Elegant Gray Croc Embossed Suede Purse - 2010-10-20 06:05:34-04
There was a time where it seemed handbags were getting bigger and bigger, to the point where they threatened to dwarf us all. Now it seems the pendulum has shifted, and I'm enjoying the more compact charms of bags like this McLane Mini from Tory Burch. This is a really elegant bag. It's simply shaped, but [...]
- Foley + Corinna Wrapped Cross-Body | Unusual Gold and Black Chainlink Tote - 2010-10-20 08:59:23-04
It is nice to see Foley & Corinna move away from their signature handles into something a little braver. The gorgeous gold mesh body of this wrapped tote really lets them stand out from the crowd. Glitz and glamor isn't normally the territory of this luxury brand. They tend to be more investment piece than flashy [...]
- Straw Studios Mia Clutch | Faux Leather Bow Purse - 2010-10-20 17:25:30-04
Straw and leather? Not an obvious combination, but in this Straw Studios clutch it really works. At first glance, you would never guess that this little handbag costs just $38. After all, you have a beautifully detailed straw body with a combination of tight weave and striping. Then you have an unusual leather bow, which in [...]
- Stella McCartney Embossed Faux Leather Saddle Bag | Eco-Friendly Camel Colored Messenger - 2010-10-20 17:40:25-04
Stella McCartney has recently released a new line of faux leather saddle bags. There are a couple of problems with this. The first is that, usually, saddle bags have some retlationship, either functionally or aesthetically to the saddle bags that are used on horses and motorcycles, and these certainly don't. The second is that the faux [...]
- Marc By Marc Jacobs Leaf Print Twill Tote | Cool Colorful Abstract Print Carryall - 2010-10-20 21:00:29-04
The Marc by Marc Jacobs line brings on-trend designs to the masses at relatively affordable prices. I am consistently impressed with their ability to know what women want. This tote, although it violates my personal "no cotton totes over $100" policy, is a great example. The cotton twill fabric is durable and practical. That is not, [...]
- Travelon Just What I Need Bag | Small Practical Nylon Burgundy Purse - 2010-10-21 02:05:16-04
Travelon claims to deliver just what I need with this small nylon purse of the same name. And reluctantly, I'm forced to admit that it's probably right. I might wish for luxury, style, and ample space for toting everything from magazines to cameras, but they're really not the things I need at all. If we're looking [...]
- Celebrities Love Prada Initial Totes | Renee Zellweger and Kate Winslet Carry Monogrammed Designer Bags - 2010-10-21 03:05:40-04
Prada has made its classic tote a little more desirable with the release of the Initials Tote, and some of our favorite celebs have been quick to get in on the act. Renee Zellweger and Kate Winslet have both been spotted carrying their own monogrammed versions of these black tessuto and saffiano fabric bags. More than [...]
- Treesje Bliss Slouchy Hobo | Soft Pleated Platinum Metallic Leather Handbag - 2010-10-21 04:05:19-04
Treesje promises to have us in raptures with its provocatively named Bliss hobo. I'm not sure whether I'm as enamored as its name suggests I should be, but there's a lot to love about this hobo bag. This style tends to be slouchy and relaxed, and the soft pleats emphasize these characteristics perfectly. The buttery soft [...]
- Marion Cotillard Stars in Final Lady Dior Advertisement | Actress Models in London - 2010-10-21 05:05:11-04
The final installment of Lady Dior's globetrotting adventures has been unveiled. In her fourth Lady Dior advertisement for Christmas Dior, Academy Award winning actress Marion Cotillard stands on the iconic London Eye ferris wheel with the British capital looming in the smoggy background below. Fashion snappers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott were again on board on [...]
- Tusk Striped Accordion Wallet | Brightly Colored Rainbow Leather Clutch Purse - 2010-10-21 06:05:52-04
Before stepping out with a handbag in tow you should always stop and ask yourself a couple of questions. Does it match my outfit? Is it appropriate for the occasion? But that's not the case with wallets. Hidden away inside a larger handbag, they're allowed to be as fun and colorful as you like. And [...]
- Two's Company Cupcakes & Cartwheels Hide & Seek Messenger | Cute Green Cotton Canvas Frog Bag - 2010-10-22 02:05:06-04
Two's Company created a messenger for the kids, and grown ups who are still kids at heart, with this playful Cupcakes & Cartwheels Hide & Seek bag. An adorable green frog peeks out from the large front pocket, almost as if he's playing a game of hide and seek. The drab army green canvas leaves a [...]
- Alexander Berardi & Jessica Jensen Team Up for Nautical Line | Tribe Called Hamptons on Show at Toronto Fashion Week - 2010-10-22 03:05:59-04
Canadian handbag designer Jessica Jensen has teamed up with New York fashionista Alexander Berardi for a nautical collection playfully named Tribe Called Hamptons. The pair showcased their new designs at Toronto Fashion Week on Tuesday night. Berardi took charge of the apparel, with breezy draped dresses and sheer blouses accented by more structured tuxedo blazers and [...]
- Ugg Australia Suede Mini Cross-Body Bag | Small Brown Shearling Trimmed Purse - 2010-10-22 04:05:19-04
I've been a bit critical of Ugg Australia bags in the past, preferring to keep my Uggs on my feet at home rather than to step out carrying them. But with this small cross-body bag, I think I've found an Ugg Australia accessory I can get behind. On this small scale, the Ugg trademarks are a [...]
- Kids Brand Jolt Adds Accessories | Handbags, Scarves, & Hats for Fashionable Teens - 2010-10-22 05:05:59-04
Junior apparel brand Jolt is expanding its range to feature handbags and other accessories including scarves and hats. Kellwood, the company which owns Jolt, has entered into a multi-year contract with Concept One Accessories for the expansion. "The new accessories license will allow us to offer additional merchandise that supports the Jolt girl's efforts to lead [...]
- Valentino Rose Satchel | Sophisticated Flower Accent Lambskin Leather Handbag - 2010-10-22 06:05:03-04
Valentino has been playing with rose and flower motifs for the last few years now. But when it continues to produce beautiful handbags like this Rose satchel, it's hard to criticize the lack of originality. While many of Valentino's flowery handbags have featured delicate little blooms, this one almost dwarfs the satchel. Its voluminous petals spill [...]
- Menbur Serpol Brass Clutch | Hard case Fabric Effect Metal Purse - 2010-10-22 07:29:48-04
Get glamorous with this Menbur Serpol purse. Believe it or not, this purse isn't a combination of metal and fabric. Instead, the fabric is actually just yet more hard brass, formed to look like a gathered pouch. I like this - you get the reinforcement of a hard cased clutch, but with the aesthetic qualities of fabric. Of [...]
- Soapbox Sara Tweed Satchel | Traditional Spacious Winter Handbag - 2010-10-22 07:49:32-04
If you want a new new tote bag for winter, than it is definitely worth considering this warm burgundy tweed satchel from Soapbox. To start with, this spacious handbag is only $59.99, and for the price you get damn good looks. Of course, some people may feel tweed is an old woman fabric, but judging by the state of the catwalks this [...]
- Mulberry Alexa Quilted Denim Bag | Electric Pink And Black Tie Die Satchel - 2010-10-22 18:16:29-04
Mulberry's line of Alexa bags have been traditionally somewhat conservative and utilitarian. This colorful new version is a major departure from the designer's usual style, and while it isn't particularly my taste, it is really beautifully done. The fabric on this bag has such vibrant colors and such a soft sheen that it's hard to believe [...]
- Valentino Crystal Embellished Feather Clutch | Extraordinary Surreal Pink Feather Bag With Crystal Birds - 2010-10-22 22:36:35-04
Valentino's fanciful, feminine classics are runway and celebrity favorites. Unfortunately, since the designer's retirement, the line has produced inconsistently. But this gorgeously embellished crystal and feather evening bag is an extraordinary breath of fresh air. The black and pink feathers that make up this clutch are traditionally beautiful, but they also utilize fashion's current obsession with [...]
- Vanessa Bruno Grand Cabas Rivet Tote | Pyramid Studded Brown Suede Handbag - 2010-10-23 02:05:14-04
Just when I thought I'd seen the season's last studded handbag, another one pops up. The trend might be becoming a bit passé, but I don't mind the treatment Vanessa Bruno has given the hardware in this Grand Cabas Rivet Tote. Rather than using the tired rock inspired combination of silver studs against a black bag, [...]
- Purse Tails Sells Handbag Hangers to America | UK Bag Accessory Company Launches US Website - 2010-10-23 03:05:48-04
Purse Tails is taking its pretty handbag hangers to American bagistas with the launch of its new US website. Purse Tails has earned a large following in its native United Kingdom, so a move into the American market seemed like the next logical step. "There has been a great deal of interest in our products from women [...]
- Vera Bradley Meet Me in Paris Café Wallet | Turquoise Cobblestone Patterned Quilted Wallet - 2010-10-23 04:05:00-04
I thought I knew exactly what to expect from a Vera Bradley purse: patterned materials embellished with diamond quilting that look just a little bit old fashioned. But it seems I was wrong. This Meet Me in Paris wallet is much more sophisticated than anything I've seen from the brand. Gone are the tired patterns, replaced [...]
- Rent the Runway Adds Judith Leiber Handbags | Borrow Designer Purses & Win Diamond Bracelets - 2010-10-23 05:05:14-04
Fashion rental website Rent the Runway now has everything you need to complete your glamorous evening look; it's expanded its range and added handbags to the dresses and jewelry currently available for hire. The site is starting small with a selection of 13 Judith Leiber purses available for four and eight-day rentals. They start at $100, [...]
- Roberto Cavalli Squirrel Trimmed Brocade Shoulder Bag | Opulent Black And Gold Embroidered Bag - 2010-10-23 20:09:19-04
Roberto Cavalli's flashy Italian style has never really been to my liking. His aesthetic is shiny, elaborate, and opulent, which is basically the complete opposite of what I'm into. Despite that, there's something very intriguing about this bag that compels me. I can't, however, decide whether I find it compelling in a positive or negative [...]
- Chloe Paraty Medium Python Bag | Exotic New Look For A Designer Favorite - 2010-10-23 23:40:00-04
Chloe has become, in the past few years, a real force to be reckoned with. It really sets the pace in terms of edgy elegance. The Aurore lacks its usual edginess, but makes up for it with a simple minimal style that is really irresistible. The light brown leather on the Aurore [...]
- Versace Thriller Bucket Bag | Quirky White Leather Floral Handbag - 2010-10-24 02:05:44-04
I'm not sure whether it thrills me the way old school Michael Jackson music does, but there's certainly no ignoring this Versace Thriller Bucket Bag! This is one quirky handbag, which is of course both a good and a bad thing. It's not going to appeal to everyone, but then again it will make a real [...]
- LVHM Buys Stake in Hermes | Louis Vuitton Company Purchases Shares in Luxury Handbag Brand - 2010-10-24 03:05:40-04
LVMH, the company behind Louis Vuitton, has reportedly bought a 14.2% stake in Hermes International worth some $2 billion. According to Women's Wear Daily, LVMH will make an announcement about the business dealings on Monday. It's believed the company will say it intends to "be a long-term shareholder of Hermes and to contribute to the preservation [...]
- Vitalio Vera Bedazzled Satchel | Red Synthetic Studded Handbag - 2010-10-24 04:05:36-04
We can usually count on Vitalio Vera to deliver affordable and stylish alternatives to the high end designer handbags, but I fear it may have missed the mark with this Bedazzled satchel. It's almost as if they let a college intern loose with a red handbag, glue gun and a packet of studs. Studs are becoming [...]
- Roger Vivier's Rendez-Vous with New York | Saks Fifth Avenue Debuts Rare Capsule Handbags & Shoes - 2010-10-24 05:05:49-04
New Yorkers will get the first bite at Roger Vivier's ultra exclusive new Rendez-Vous capsule collection. There are just nine shoe styles and nine handbags in the line, produced in limited editions of only ten. The rare collection sees the label's creative director Bruno Frisoni meld traditional artisan work with natural materials like feathers, wood, and [...]
- Lanvin Amalia Python Shoulder Bag | Extravagant Black And Blue Metallic Snakeskin Bag - 2010-10-24 18:15:24-04
Lanvin's Amalia bags are modern classics. The line is refreshingly simple and elegant. This gorgeous snakeskin version adds luxe glamour to the sophisticated style in a heavy dose. The extraordinary turquoise and black python skin has a soft metallic finish that, in combination with the eye-catching color combination, makes it stand out in any crowd. Lanvin [...]
- Roberto Cavalli Embroidered Suede Shoulder Bag | Elegant And Decadent Gilded Handbag - 2010-10-24 22:00:37-04
Roberto Cavalli's current collection includes a lot of decadent materials and heavy embroidery. Some of the bags have seemed unwieldy and over-the-top, but this one is a little more subdued and sophisticated. It's a lot more wearable, and a lot more reasonably priced than others have been. The material of this bag is a rich brown [...]
- Whiting & Davis Liquid Chain Cross-Body Bag | Retro Silver Mesh Fringe Evening Purse - 2010-10-25 02:05:48-04
Whiting & Davis bring a little retro edge to its iconic mesh handbags with this Liquid Chain cross-body bag. The shape of the mesh purse is traditional and simple, but it's the detail that really sets it apart. Silvery metal chains hang in an asymmetrical curtain from the top of the bag, giving it dramatic depth [...]
- Eco-Friendly Black Rose Bike Bags | Reclaimed Canvas Becomes Green Fashion Accessories - 2010-10-25 03:05:26-04
Black Rose Bags can see the beauty in the materials the rest of us discard. This eco-friendly label combines the canvas it finds in an awning company dumpster with key clips, buckles, and zips donated by its local bike store, the Bike Cave Collective. It takes these surplus materials and turns them into stylish cycling bags. "We [...]
- Apple by Matt & Nat Laptop Bags | Vegan Leather Handbags for iPads and MacBooks - 2010-10-25 03:05:27-04
Vegan handbag label Matt & Nat has teamed up with Apple for a collection of accessories tailor made for your favorite girly gadgets. The shoulder bags have a main compartment for your MacBook and smaller pockets for your iPod, iPhone, and iPod Shuffle. If you're lucky enough to have one of the new iPads, look out [...]
- XOXO Beau Tote | Feminine Black Vinyl Bow Handbag - 2010-10-25 04:05:33-04
XOXO wants to romance you with this feminine and fun Beau tote. This purse reminds me of the label's Name Drop clutch, but on a much larger scale. It's not just the size that gives it its point of difference, but a soft bow on the side. The accent could have been overly feminine, but it's [...]
- Yak Pak Lil Cross-Body Bag | Colorful Checkerboard Patterned Messenger Style Flap Handbag - 2010-10-25 06:05:43-04
Yak Pak brings practical design and color into one compact package with this vibrant Lil Cross-Body bag. I love the colored checkerboard print of this particular Lil, but it's just one of the many designs we have to choose from. Most of them are every bit as vibrant and playful, but if you prefer a more [...]
- Lauren Merkin Astrid Tote | Multicolored Rainbow Serpent Bag - 2010-10-25 09:06:40-04
Lauren Merkin has gone much more over-the-top than normal with the Astrid tote. The multi-colored snakeskin will be a bit too "out there" for some people. The bold and obviously exotic pattern, you see, is just made all the bolder thanks to the array of colors weaving their way throughout. As a combination of both texture and brightness, this [...]
