- Vanessa Bruno Leather Shoulder Bag | Casually Elegant Slouchy Dark Taupe Bag - 2010-10-11 16:23:08-04
Vanessa Bruno is quickly gaining a reputation for herself in the fashion world, and it's definitely a good one. Her bags are less formal and less expensive than alot of designer bags out there, which makes them appealing to a young, hip demographic. This leather shoulder bag is another great addition to her growing line. The [...]
- Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Papier And Snakeskin Clutch | Ultra Luxe Silver Evening Bag - 2010-10-11 20:00:53-04
Bottega Veneta's use of materials is almost always extraordinary. Their designers just have an unparalleled eye for texture. This extraordinary clutch combines snakeskin and woven metallic paper in an ingenious and beautiful way. This bag has unique design that I have never seen before. It has a foldover envelope design with a clasp. The exterior [...]
- Fossil Vintage Re-Issue Satchel | Traditional Leather Flap Crossbody - 2010-10-12 08:49:12-04
I always love when a brand decides that perhaps the time has come to pay homage to the iconic designs of yesteryear. This time it is Fossil who have decided to recreate some of the handbags of the past in a shiny new format. The advantage of this, of course, is that you get the tried [...]
- Versace Leather And Suede Bag | Sumptuous Purple And Black Bag With Ring Detail - 2010-10-12 17:15:50-04
Versace's classic Italian aesthetic has taken a new turn this season. With a dark, rich color palette and suptuous materials, the line is bringing their signature sense of bling to more minimal designs. I haven't really been a huge fan of Versace in the past, but bags like this leather and suede one are quickly [...]
- Alexander McQueen Britannia Patent Leather Clutch | Super Glam Red And Gold Skull Bag - 2010-10-12 20:00:22-04
Alexander McQueen's line of Britannia clutches is completely iconic, and even after the designer's death, the line is producing variations that are interesting and new. This patent leather Britannia retains the designer's signature aesthetic with its blend of shiny glam patent and punk rock skulls. The gloss is so high on this patent leather that it [...]
- Santi Madeline Clutch | Retro Pink Gathered Leather Purse - 2010-10-12 22:42:58-04
Santi may have ditched the beads and sequins this time around, but that doesn't mean that this Madeline clutch has any less glitz! Her pizazz comes from its fuchsia pink leather, which has been gathered up in an adorable way. It's very cutesy, and frothy, and probably completely unpalatable if you're not the girliest of girly [...]
- Sofia Coppola's New Louis Vuitton Handbags | Advertising Campaign for Celebrity Purse Collection - 2010-10-12 23:04:28-04
It seems that Sofia Coppola's line for Louis Vuitton was more than a flight of fancy. The British film director has just released her second collection for the luxury French brand. The new Louis Vuitton SC bags stick with the formula that made the originals so successful, but they've been given a new up market facelift. [...]
- Sara Berman Cecilia Frill Tote | Feminine Ivory Leather Zip Handbag - 2010-10-12 23:39:47-04
I rarely mind a bag with a few frills and frippery, but with this Cecilia tote I think Sara Berman may have gone a step too far. I can't help but think of a clown's shirt, with frilly accents and buttons dotting down, as I look at this tote. It's just got that same sort of [...]
- Bodhi's New Tech Collection | Retro Handbags for Laptops, iPads, & Other Gadgets - 2010-10-13 00:43:39-04
Bodhi is embracing the digital age with its new Tech Collection of accessories. The cute range looks to hold our favorite gadgets, including iPads and iPods, cell phones, cameras, computers, and Kindles. "When designing luxury products today, you cannot ignore tech," explained Bodhi's creative design director Joseph Janus. "Handbags now have more functions. Bags need to [...]
- Savanna Double Handle Beaded Satchel | Affordable Small Fabric Floral Accent Purse - 2010-10-13 01:23:05-04
Savanna ditches fashion forward looks for something a bit more unique with this Double Handle Beaded Satchel. Honestly, I'm still trying to work out if I like it or not. The delicate flowers along the top are beautiful, but they seem at odds with the beaded handles. I like that Savanna has taken a risk here, [...]
- Serpui Marie Essential Minaudiere | Classic Red Snakeskin Evening Purse - 2010-10-13 02:17:11-04
We all need a few wardrobe essentials, and Serpui Marie hopes its Essential Minaudiere will be one of them. I'd love to add it to my collection. Its snakeskin finish is so delicate, a welcome alternative to the bold mottled skins we so typically see. This is much richer, especially in this bold ruby red. If [...]
- Bodhi Suede Coined Clutch | Wavy Purse With Patent Coin Purse Decoration - 2010-10-13 13:32:29-04
Suede and patent leather combinations are everywhere at the moment, and the Coined purse from Bodhi offers one of the most unusual colors of the bunch. First you have that traditional tan suede, in a wonderful caramel camel shade that will work really well with the current fashion favorites. Then, gathering that soft suede is a [...]
- Jessica McClintock East/West Clutch | Affordable Satin and Diamante Purse - 2010-10-13 18:08:25-04
Bring some bling to your outfit with this Jessica McClintock clutch. There is nothing "daytime" about the East/West clutch. From the gathered and pleated satin body to the big bold gem decoration, this evening bag would look as out of place in the sunlight as a fish out of water. This doesn't always mean that the [...]
- Win New Hobo with 49 Square Miles | San Francisco Love Facebook Competition - 2010-10-13 20:54:39-04
San Francisco based handbag brand 49 Square Miles has always been proud of its Bay Area heritage. Its bags are named after some of the city's favorite sons, including Jack Kerouac, Dave Eggers, and Robert Louis Stevenson. And now it wants its fans to speak up about what they love about San Fran. The brand is [...]
- Sondra Roberts Reese Bucket Tote | Simple Stitched Camel Leather Handbag - 2010-10-13 22:17:08-04
Sondra Roberts seems to have taken her style cues from fresh-faced Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon with this bucket tote. Just like the star that shares its name, the Reese doesn't rely on bells or whistles to impress. Elegant complementary stitching criss-crosses the simply shaped bag, creating argyle-style diamond shapes along the way. It's an unusual look, [...]
- Ralph Lauren's 10th Anniversary Pink Pony Charity Auction | Bid on Kate Hudson's Handbag for Cancer Charity - 2010-10-13 23:22:21-04
Ralph Lauren is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its cancer charity Pink Pony with a massive online auction. Luxury Ralph Lauren handbags and this boho fringe purse autographed by Kate Hudson are amongst the hundreds of items up for grabs. I've also got my eyes on the backstage pass for a Matchbox Twenty concert, although I'd [...]
- Alexander McQueen Lock-It Studded Leather Bag | Sleek Classic Burgundy Handbag - 2010-10-14 00:12:42-04
Alexander McQueen has been one of my favorite designers since I was a teenager. I love the way he makes his edgy punk rock aesthetic look glamorous. Which is why I was a little surprised at the almost conservative design of the Lock-It. It's got a beautifully classic appeal, but it just doesn't scream McQueen. The [...]
- Sonia Kashuk for Target Travel Duffel | Affordable Nylon Dots Handbag - 2010-10-14 00:40:07-04
With this cute and affordable travel bag from Sonia Kashuk you'll have more in your pocket to spend on your vacation. As part of Sonia Kashuk's affordable diffusion line for Target, this duffel bag offers cute looks for less. There's nothing luxurious about it, but the basic nylon body is given a retro lift with big [...]
- Judith Leiber Deco Fine Crystal-Embellished Clutch | Gorgeous Vintage-Inspired Evening Bag - 2010-10-14 01:30:26-04
Judith Leiber and I have a love-hate relationship. I love her irreverence, but hate her prices and that her designs are sometimes cheesy and tasteless. This Deco clutch, however, is gorgeously designed and of impeccable taste and craftsmanship. The shimmering crystal pattern on this bag looks authentically Deco. The double-v design is rendered in black and [...]
- Sonia by Sonia Rykiel Dotty Across Body Bag | Fun Pink Spotted Cross-Body Purse - 2010-10-14 02:05:02-04
Sonia Rykiel adds some style to the traditional cross-body bag with this fun Dotty purse. The pale pink shade is cute, but so cutesy that it'll put anyone offside. The pastel tone is bumped up with bold black spots, which are raised to add depth and dimension. They remind me a bit of oversized studs; with [...]
- Coach Plans UK Stores | American Handbags Bound for Europe - 2010-10-14 03:05:03-04
Coach is making a play for the dollars of the British bag loving public with the opening of up to 15 UK stores over the next three years. The first will open at west London's Westfield shopping center in the first half of 2011. A flagship store on London's New Bond Street will join it around [...]
- Spiegel Rosette Covered Bag | Elegant Affordable Polyester Mesh Rosette Handbag - 2010-10-14 04:05:44-04
I really don't know how Spiegel does it. Its bags are always bang on trend, yet it charges a fraction of the price the high end designers do. This Rosette Covered purse is yet another example of this uncanny gift. If I didn't know better I'd swear this was a Valentino purse. The famed fashion house [...]
- Disney TRON: Legacy Fashion Range | Futuristic Hayden-Harnett Handbags, Space Age Jewelry, & More - 2010-10-14 05:05:18-04
As a child of the 80s, I'm thrilled to see TRON getting another go round with the upcoming release of TRON: Legacy. If you thought this science fiction classic was strictly for the lads, think again. Disney is attempting to score points with female fans with the release of some TRON inspired accessories. Disney sought out [...]
- La Regale Diamante Box Clutch | Unusual Black Satin Minaudiere - 2010-10-14 16:25:27-04
It isn't often in the handbag industry that you see a box clutch that quite so much resembles... a box! However, that is exactly the look that La Regale have gone for with this unusual minaudiere. First let me start by pointing out the obvious - this square purse looks a lot like a jewellery box. [...]
- Miu Miu Miu Patent Leather Turn Lock Clutch | Eye-Catching Oversized Orange Clutch - 2010-10-14 17:45:28-04
A few months ago, I reviewed another bag in Miu Miu's turn lock line that was very similar to this one, and I hated it. Luckily, Miu Miu seems to have fixed some of the less appealing details in this smaller clutch version of the bag. First of all, the color of this bag is way [...]
- Kate Spade Museum Mile Louis Tote | Houndtooth and Patent Leather Purse Perfect for Winter - 2010-10-14 18:26:53-04
Oh, I love this bag. The houndstooth and the red patent leather make it the ideal handbag for winter. Forget light summery colors and breezy materials - what we need for the cold weather are heavy fabrics and warm textures. The gorgeous patterned houndstooth herringbone is ideal for cold damp days, especially when paired with a gorgeous [...]
- Alexander McQueen Queen Skull Jacquard Clutch | Baroque Metallic Print Evening Bag - 2010-10-14 21:00:29-04
For the McQueen line, creating surprising design combinations isn't just a passing whim, it's the driving force behind the line. In this case, McQueen has collaged together two very different elements: a very royal looking jacquard with a very scary queen skull. And I can't get over how well it works. The fabric on this hard-cased [...]
- Adidas by Stella McCartney Ready to Dance Tote | Dark Gray Coated Nylon Gym Bag - 2010-10-15 00:11:35-04
Stella McCartney seems inspired by classic 80s flicks like Footloose and Flashdance with this Ready to Dance tote from her line for Adidas. I can just imagine Jennifer Beals' Alex Owens carrying her leg warmers and point shoes in this bag as she made her way from the steel plant to her next audition. I thought [...]
- Steve Madden BManic Wristlet | Affordable Black Patent Synthetic Studded Purse - 2010-10-15 02:05:46-04
Studs might be becoming a bit passé, but Steve Madden manages to use them well on this BManic wristlet. The name is a bit misnomer, as there's really nothing too outrageous about this purse. While studs tend to add some rock and roll edge, there's nothing too revolutionary about their use here. The three columns of [...]
- Spooky Halloween Handbags from GearBolt Factory | Handmade Recycled Rubber & Metal Bags - 2010-10-15 03:05:50-04
With Halloween looming, I'm considering just how I should accessorize my ghoulish costume. After all, on the most devilish of nights, a posh designer handbag just won't do. But this edgy handbag from GearBolt Factory just might. This bag looks like it's just crawled out of some post-apocalyptic wasteland, so if you're dressing as a zombie [...]
- Stone Mountain Weekender Cross-Body Bag | Classic Practical Teal Leather Purse - 2010-10-15 04:05:39-04
Stone Mountain challenges what we think about weekenders with this Weekender Cross-Body bag. Rather than a bag for carrying all the luggage we need on a short getaway, this Weekender is the kind of purse that you'll sling across your body when you're doing a spot of sight-seeing. The long strap definitely adds to that appeal [...]
- Prada's Worldy New Collection | Made In … Capsule Range Inspired by Global Fashion - 2010-10-15 05:05:15-04
Prada is going global with the release of a new "Made in …" capsule collection which celebrates luxury around the world. The range was inspired by the international travels of Mario Prada, the grandfather of current Prada creative director Miuccia Prada. As he navigated the globe in the early twentieth century he collected the ideas and [...]
- Straw Studios Adele Tote | Traditional Natural Woven Handbag - 2010-10-15 06:05:44-04
Do I have to say goodbye to summer? Really? This chill in the air has me feeling like a petulant child. I'm so reluctant to pack away my sundresses and shorts and bid the warm weather adieu. It's enough to make me rebel and carry a summery bag like the Adele tote, just because! This tote [...]
- Judith Leiber Leopard Print Crystal Clutch | Glamorous Animal Print Evening Bag - 2010-10-15 21:28:23-04
Judith Leiber, if you are reading this, please keep making bags like this one. It's got kitschy charm and a sparkly glamorous side, but it's still totally wearable, which is more than I can say for the cupcake clutch. This leopard-spotted, crystal-encrusted bag is a beacon of minimalism in comparison. The cut crystals on this clutch [...]
- Nancy Gonzalez Woven Crocodile Shoulder Bag | Classic And Exotic Orange Tote - 2010-10-16 20:29:34-04
Nancy Gonzalez is the leader of the fashion pack when it comes to making classic and elegant crocodile bags. Her designs are simple and minimal, and allows the beauty of the materials to shine through. This burnt orange woven tote is a gorgeous example of her work. The shape of this tote is simple, but the [...]
- Stuart Weitzman Blason Poem Clutch | Edgy Brown Snake Print Leather Purse - 2010-10-16 22:46:37-04
Stuart Weitzman takes snake print to the urban jungle with this Blason Poem clutch. So often snake print is used in elegant purses, so it's refreshing to see Stuart Weitzman making things a bit dirtier here. This is a more abstract take on snakeskin; rather than defined scales and markings we see gentle mottling. This brown [...]
- Vineyard Vines Supports Breast Cancer Alliance with Classic Tote | Canvas Pink Ribbon Charity Handbag - 2010-10-16 23:26:50-04
You might not be able to afford a getaway to Martha's Vineyards right now, but you can own a piece of the area and help a good cause with this new Vineyard Vines Pink Ribbon Classic Tote. The tote has a relaxed, preppy feel, with a subtle pink ribbon pattern around the top. I can just [...]
- Susan Farber Romeo Messenger Bag | Glossy Dark Brown Ruffled Leather Cross-Body Handbag - 2010-10-17 01:50:54-04
Susan Farber brings a bit of romance to the messenger bag style with the Romeo. Messengers tend to be casual, unisex affairs but not this beauty. The soft leather ruffles make it much more feminine, and in my opinion much more appealing. This is the kind of messenger that could bring some real style to your [...]
- Jane August's New Military Collection | Purses Made from Recycled Army & Navy Jackets - 2010-10-17 01:55:15-04
Military handbags will enjoy renewed popularity in winter, and few are as authentic as those in Jane August's new capsule collection. The designer is best known for chic python purses, but this new range is much more casual. Each one is crafted from real military jackets found in army and navy surplus stores and flea markets. That [...]
- Swoop Trapezoid Shoulder Bag | Black Wallpaper Pattern Everyday Handbag - 2010-10-17 03:09:27-04
If there's one thing you can say about Swoop, it's that the label is committed to its vision. The clean lines and the familiar prints make these bags so easy to spot, but it's the functional features that keep fans coming back. This curved trapezoid shape is quite striking, not incredibly daring but something less conservative [...]
- Big Buddha Meredith Wristlet | Patent Pleated Rose Decorated Clutch - 2010-10-17 11:17:34-04
Make a big bang with the adorable patent Meredith clutch from Big Buddha. With this wristlet, you don't just get the bright red patent faux leather. You don't just get the acordian style layered pleats. You don't just get the rippled layered flower. You get all of them! The end result could be a little bit over [...]
- Donald J Pliner Bazil Tote | Luxury Striped Structured Handbag - 2010-10-17 11:44:42-04
Donald J Pliner handbags never come cheap, and the Bazil tote is no different at $365. However, with all the structure and all the fashion credentials, I am inclined to say that you do get a lot for your money. Firstly there is that great structured design. The white and black design may be a little [...]
- Miu Miu Patent Leather Ruffle Bag | Shiny Loud Carnivalesque Shoulder Bag - 2010-10-17 18:09:54-04
Miu Miu used to be one of my favorite lines, but lately I just don't get where they're coming from. Their pieces have gotten considerably less chic and considerably more carnivalesque in the past few seasons, which is only a compliment if you have to be a clown. This patent leather ruffle bag is a [...]
- Hester van Eeghen Launches American Website | Dutch Handbag Designer Breaks Into US Market - 2010-10-17 21:16:08-04
Hester van Eeghen is making a play for the American market with the launch of her new US website. The Dutch label's handbags have gained cult status in Europe since they were introduced more than 20 years ago, but they're only available in a select few American outlets. That is, until now. The launch of the [...]
- Anya Hindmarch Pablo Patent Leather Trimmed Weekend Bag | Simple Black Oversized Overnighter - 2010-10-17 23:00:32-04
Anya Hindmarch's line of accessories has quickly gained popularity in the past few seasons. Her simple, feminine style is appealing to urban fashionistas, and as far as the fashion world goes, her prices are somewhat reasonable. Unfortunately, this moderately-priced weekend bag is just a little boring. The design is simple and kind of sleek. But it's [...]
- Tano Dancing with the Star Tote | Bright Blue Hawaiian Crunch Leather Handbag - 2010-10-17 23:06:10-04
This Dancing with the Star tote might not have the razzle dazzle of Jennifer Grey or Audrina Partridge, but in this bright Blue Hawaiian shade it's still got what it takes to turn heads. Tano is one of those brands that sticks to its creative vision, so if you're familiar with the label you're not like [...]
- Mulberry for Target Bags Arrive | Affordable British Designer Collection in Stores - 2010-10-17 23:42:38-04
Mulberry for Target handbags have landed at Target department stores across America, and they're flying off the shelves almost as quickly as they arrived. This is a really impressive capsule collection, which manages to deliver exactly what we love about the British brand. Of course, there isn't quite the same level of luxury, but the fabrics [...]
- Temperley London Royal Clutch | Black Leather Button Purse - 2010-10-18 02:05:25-04
The Windsors aren't the only British royals; Temperley London's Royal Clutch sets out to be every bit as regal. I'm not quite sure that it succeeds though. It's quite lovely, but I'm not sure that it has the same sense of pomp and ceremony that we saw in Mulberry's Margaret clutch. Perhaps if I didn't have [...]
- Stainless Steel Handbags from Wendy Stevens | Tough Chic Purses Made to Last - 2010-10-18 03:05:38-04
Considering the prices of designer accessories, there are few things worse than watching your favorite handbag begin to show signs of wear and tear. Broken zips, torn handles, and flaking synthetics are just some of the terrible telltale signs of age. If you're looking for accessories that will stand the test of time, look to [...]
- Tepper Jackson Calypso Zippered Wallet | Colorful Patterned Coated Canvas Purse - 2010-10-18 04:05:58-04
Add a splash of color to your everyday with this fun Calypso wallet from Tepper Jackson. If you don't like color, it's safe to say that this wallet isn't for you. There are four designs to choose from, but each one has a kaleidoscope of vibrant shades all clashing together delightfully. I think the look is [...]
- Robert Clergerie Tontoutax Tote | Simple Perforated Luxury Handbag - 2010-10-18 08:14:51-04
You can't really get simpler than this Robert Clergerie tote! With it's incredibly smooth leather body and minimalist amount of seaming, the Tontoutax tote couldn't be plainer. However, thanks to the deep matte black leather, the effect is one of luxury rather than absence. In essence, you have such a beautiful expanse of luxury blackness that [...]
