Hi mary,

Check out the latest handbag fashion news and review at BagBunch.com:
  1. Erin Fetherston for Juicy Couture Collection | Holiday Bags from Celebrity Guest Designer - 2010-12-06 15:08:31-05
    Juicy Couture has brought American fashion designer Erin Fetherston on board for its holiday 2010 collection. It's a good fit for the brand which seems to be seeking a more sophisticated image, away from the pink velour and rhinestones of old. The new line features some of Juicy's signature elements, including velvet, bows, and yes, velour. [...]
  2. Baggallini Hugger Backpack | Unusual Triangle Navy Nylon Travel Bag - 2010-12-06 15:55:57-05
    I've never thought of travel brand Baggallini as fashion innovators, so I was surprised when I spotted this quirky Hugger backpack. Its unusual triangle shape makes it quite unique. But Baggallini has never been one to put form over function. The backpack is ergonomically designed to sit comfortably against your body while you're out and about. It's [...]
  3. Alexander McQueen Receives Posthumous Prize | Late Designer Gets British Fashion Award - 2010-12-06 16:22:24-05
    Alexander McQueen will be posthumously honored for his contributions to fashion at tomorrow night's British Fashion Awards. McQueen will receive the Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design prize, following in the footsteps of Dame Vivienne Westwood, John Galliano, and Stephen Jones. McQueen's achievements will be recognized in a Nick Knight directed film, which features his most iconic [...]
  4. Balenciaga Alphabet Shoulder Bag | Black Suede Colored Lettering Handbag - 2010-12-06 17:05:54-05
    You know what they say about being careful what you wish for. After bemoaning so many samey bags from Balenciaga, I should be thrilled the label's stepped out of the box with this Alphabet Bag. Instead I'm longing for its old creative vision. This is a real departure for the brand which typically delivers casual cool [...]
  5. Tory Burch Crescent Large Straw Tote | Off-Season Graphic Woven Carryall - 2010-12-06 23:09:27-05
    Tory Burch has become a much more interesting designer to me in the past few seasons. She's managed to simultaneously maintain her posh uptown demographic, but has also made a few forays into edgier, more street savvy designs. This Crescent straw tote, however, leaves me feeling a little confused about her intentions. I know that Ms. [...]
  6. MICHAEL Michael Kors Python Effect Leather Clutch | Shiny Mod Faux Snakeskin Clutch - 2010-12-07 00:00:58-05
    The latest MICHAEL by Michael Kors faux snakeskin designs have been absolutely spot on. No one does a more realistic faux snake for such a reasonable price in such sleek designs. Unfortunately, this clutch is not one of my favorite in the line. The design of this clutch is picture perfect. The sharp rectangular shape is [...]
  7. Bally Lyla Hobo | Sophisticated Brown Graduated Leather Handbag - 2010-12-07 02:46:34-05
    Bally reinvents the typically bohemian hobo as a sleek, sophisticated creature with the Lyla. The deerskin leather is what first drew my eye. I tend to find most brown bags boring, but this isn't most brown bags. The graduated colors give it a lovely aged feel which I'm sure will only improve as the years pass. [...]
  8. Fisher-Price New FastFinder Diaper Bags | Practical Pocketed Baby Handbags for Parents - 2010-12-07 16:37:07-05
    Fisher-Price has been a trusted brand for parents for decades, so it makes sense that the iconic label is releasing a new range of diaper bags. These innovative FastFinder purses do their best to help new moms suffering from baby brain, as they feature labeled exterior pockets specifically designed for parenting essentials. Parents can choose from [...]
  9. Kate Spade Peacock Lane Kenessa Clutch | Embossed Gold Leather Purse - 2010-12-07 16:53:06-05
    OK, so Kate Spade may not be great at giving her handbag designs short names, but she certainly is talented at coming up with the designs themselves! There isn't as much of a retro vibe to the Peacock Lane clutch as there is to the other designs in Kate Spade's range, but that isn't a negative. [...]
  10. BCBG Max Azria Indie Rock Studded Bow Clutch | Edgy Black Leather Purse - 2010-12-07 19:55:48-05
    A bow has never looked quite edgy as BCBG Max Azria imagined with its Indie Rock clutch. The ordinarily feminine shape is given a rock and roll makeover with a heavy duty dose of studs. Our love affair with studs is fading, but by choosing complementary tones I don't mind them so much here. The rock [...]
  11. Louis Vuitton's New Travel Store | World First Korean Airport Shop - 2010-12-07 20:30:28-05
    Louis Vuitton will launch its first ever travel store in Korea's Incheon International Airport next year. The iconic brand has reportedly been approached many times to open an airport retail outlet, but only now has the label made the move. It's a considered one which came after LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault reportedly visited the Korean airport. [...]
  12. Be & D Woodstock Hobo | Studded Belt Distressed Gray Leather Handbag - 2010-12-07 21:48:05-05
    Considering its name, I expected something rebellious and free-spirited from Be & D's Woodstock hobo. Sadly though, this purse is pretty lackluster. Taken on their own merits, the elements are great. I really like the wrinkled texture of the distressed leather. The spiky studs are a playful alternative to the traditional flat version. The whipstitching across [...]
  13. Bebe Ruffle Romance Cross-Body Bag | Affordable Red Python Print PVC Purse - 2010-12-08 01:05:41-05
    Bebe brings us glamour without the high class prices with this Bebe Ruffle Romance bag. Bebe is a little obvious with its design choices here. Exotic skins always bring a touch of luxury, so it dapples the red PVC with black serpentine scales. Ruffles are the perfect thing for a party purse, so it adds those [...]
  14. Marc By Marc Jacobs Cosmo Quilted Leather Shoulder Bag | Cheerful Yellow Leather Bag - 2010-12-08 01:05:43-05
    Don't you hate it when one of your favorite designers makes choices you just can't understand? Well, that's how I feel about this Cosmo quilted shoulder bag. I love Marc Jacobs, but I just don't know where he's going with this style. I guess it's the color more than the actual design of the bag that's [...]
  15. Marc By Marc Jacobs Framed Leather Shoulder Bag | Stone Pleated Leather Bag With Chain Strap - 2010-12-08 02:03:41-05
    Marc Jacobs has a way of put his own quirky twists on otherwise straightforward designs that make them his own. This framed leather shoulder bag is a classic bag with a sassy side. The stone color on this leather bag is delicate and subtle. The great pale grey is simultaneously of-the-moment and also super versatile, which [...]
  16. EcoTools by Alicia Silverstone Accessories | Actress Designs Eco-Friendly Cosmetics Purses - 2010-12-08 02:05:01-05
    When we first met Alicia Silverstone, she was dispensing fashion advice as Cher Horowitz in Clueless. These days she's a fully fledged eco chick using her knowledge of style to save the planet. After her first successful collaboration with green fashion line EcoTools, she's set to do it all again with a collection of cosmetics [...]
  17. Betsey Johnson Kat's Eye Hobo | Studded Leopard Print Purse - 2010-12-08 03:05:55-05
    Leopard print? Check. A liberal smattering of studs? Check. Yep, this bag has to be a Betsey! With the Kat's Eye hobo, Betsey Johnson delivers just the kind of purse her fans love. It's glitzy, gaudy, and more than a little bit kitsch. It's not likely to impress fashion snobs, but it doesn't want to. Betsey [...]
  18. Interchangable Lauren Joy Handbags | Mix & Match Innovative Bags - 2010-12-08 04:05:26-05
    Many of us are still smarting from the financial crisis, so when a designer creates a bag that helps us get several looks for less I'm interested. Lauren Joy Handbags creates cute interchangeable accessories that help you change your purse as often as you change your outfit. The system features six main bag styles and a [...]
  19. Big Buddha Carrie Hobo | Affordable Chain & Whipstitch Detailed Vegan Leather Hobo - 2010-12-08 05:05:34-05
    Big Buddha has an uncanny knack for creating contemporary styled accessories for far less than the big boys. This Carrie hobo is another gorgeous option from the affordable American brand. It's all too easy to point to the use of synthetic, rather than real leather, for the reason for the label's low prices. Big Buddha calls [...]
  20. Hype Christy North/South Tote | Ruffled Slouchy Studded Hold All - 2010-12-08 09:04:54-05
    Rebel against the darkness of winter with this bold red tote. Meetings of girly features and more aggressive touches are all the rage in fashion at the moment. You know - combining lace with leather, or bows with denim. The Hype interpretation of this trend is this Christy tote, which matches cute gathered ruffles with aggressive studded pockets. The [...]
  21. Michael Kors Skorpios Leather Tote | Slouchy But Elegant Black Shoulder Bag - 2010-12-08 19:09:10-05
    I have to admit that I've never really been a big fan of Michael Kors. I've always felt like his designs were a little trendy and boring, but this season he's totally changed my mind. This fabulous Skorpios tote is a great example of where the line seems to be headed. The black leather on the [...]
  22. Diane Von Furstenberg Belle Stud Satin Shoulder Bag | Glam Black Evening Bag - 2010-12-08 22:00:06-05
    Diane von Furstenberg is a household name, and for good reason. Her understated take on boho chic is easy to wear for decades. This Belle studded satin shoulder bag is a great evening wear option for women looking for something a little different. You often see black satin evening bags, but they're almost never covered in [...]
  23. Bisadora Metallic Foil Hobo | Affordable Shiny Pleated Pink Purple Purse - 2010-12-09 01:05:01-05
    There's a time and place for high fashion, but sometimes you just want to let loose with something cheap and cheerful. If you want to spice up your outfit without spending a lot of money, you could do a lot worse than this metallic foil hobo from Bisadora. It's vaguely crescent shaped, but this hobo has [...]
  24. Blake Lively Rumored to Front Chanel Ads | Gossip Girl Turns Fashion Model - 2010-12-09 02:05:25-05
    Blake Lively is reportedly the new face of Chanel handbags. While there's been no official confirmation from the French fashion house yet, E! Online reports the Gossip Girl star recently shot the advertisements in Paris. The gossip site also claims we'll see the commercials early next year. Blake Lively is certainly one of the new breed [...]
  25. Bodhi Moon Clutch | Simple Sophisticated Green Leather Purse - 2010-12-09 03:05:26-05
    I'm used to seeing wild and wacky purses from Bodhi, so I was surprised to see the label playing it safe with this Moon Clutch. That traditional approach may disappoint some of the label's fans, but I think it's also likely to attract some new ones. The sexy, simple curves are complemented by matching seams. I [...]
  26. Adriana Castro Named Best Handbag Designer | - 2010-12-09 04:05:43-05
    Online handbag retailer Handbago.com has announced the winners of its annual Handbago Awards. Adriana Castro took out the top honor for best handbag designer. "Every year there is a handbag designer that stands out above the rest. This year it is Adriana Castro," explained Handbago.com's president, Kristina Moreno. "Castro brings luxury, bold yet classic designs and [...]
  27. Botkier Gene Tote | Affordable Stone Lambskin Snap Pocket North/South Style Handbag - 2010-12-09 05:05:46-05
    Botkier has an uncanny knack for creating luxurious purses for far less than its contemporaries. A buttery soft lambskin tote like this Gene would easily top four figures if it came from a European design house, but Botkier has priced it as a reasonable $395. The appeal of this tote goes beyond its bottom line. Its [...]
  28. Timmy Woods Chinois Clutch | Novelty Wooden Purse with Scroll Decoration - 2010-12-09 10:36:38-05
    A purse from Timmy Woods that isn't shaped like an animal or a famous landmark? Remarkable?! The novelty handbag specialist has abandoned her somewhat crazy roots with this design, although she definitely still achieves a modicum of ridiculousness! The wooden base for this scrolled clutch makes for a luxury handbag that is wonderful to hold. Solid, [...]
  29. Bottega Veneta Multicolor Shoulder Bag | Whimsical Check Print Carryall Handbag - 2010-12-10 01:17:16-05
    Bottega Veneta cuts loose with this multicolor shoulder bag. The woven finish we've come to know and love is used more sparingly than usual here. Rather than an all-over weave, Bottega Veneta uses woven stripes to accentuate the shoulder bag's checkered print. Those checks in graduated shades of teal and green give this handbag a real [...]
  30. Judith Ripka Does Handbags | Jewelry Designer Makes Bags for QVC - 2010-12-10 02:05:55-05
    Jewelry designer Judith Ripka is spreading her wings into the world of handbag design with the launch of her first collection for QVC. The new line will make its debut today. The range features a purse for every occasion, from large totes, hobos, and shoulder bags for daytime use to the smaller evening clutch purses. The released [...]
  31. Bourne Katherine Frill Clutch | Ruffled Blue Satin Diamante Purse - 2010-12-10 03:05:08-05
    Bourne gives us a thrill, and more than a few frills, with this Katherine Clutch. This is a purse for black tie galas and high class soirees. It's intended to impress, with its rows of ruffles and glittering display of diamantes. Even if you're not typically a girly girl, it's the kind of purse you'd carry [...]
  32. Christian Dior Releases Final Lady Dior Film | Marion Cotillard & Sir Ian McKellen Star in Sexy Short - 2010-12-10 04:05:54-05
    Christian Dior has pulled out all the stops for its final installment of the Lady Dior short film trilogy. Marion Cotillard, in the title role, plays a burlesque dancer trapped naked inside an hourglass. Clearly such a vision is enough to turn a gay man straight, as she seduces a wheelchair bound Sir Ian McKellen who [...]
  33. Burberry Studded Plisse Leather Tote | Perfectly Pleated Edgy Black Satchel - 2010-12-10 15:00:04-05
    Usually, my favorite thing about Burberry is their Prorsum line. Their standard collection is just a little stodgy and British for my taste. But this studded plisse tote is making me totally reconsider, with its cutting edge elegance. The treatment on this black leather is fantastically detailed and textured. It has been pleated and plissed, which [...]
  34. Tory Burch Reva Satin Clutch | Sleek And Simple Hot Fuchsia Evening Bag - 2010-12-10 15:35:56-05
    I have been absolutely converted by Tory Burch in the past few seasons. Her posh uptown aesthetic doesn't always appeal to monochromatic downtown types like me, but she's really taken a walk on the wild side. Unfortunately, this Reva clutch is a bit of a disappointment. Not only has she abandoned her new found edginess, [...]
  35. Bulga Drape Hobo | Cream Green Leather Tasseled Bag - 2010-12-10 18:44:12-05
    Bulga shows us that boho style can be sophisticated with this Drape Hobo bag. It's very easy for bohemian styled purses to get a little bit too relaxed, but Bulga dresses things up with that delicious creamy green toned leather. This buttery soft material has all the slouch we crave without it becoming slovenly. The tasseled [...]
  36. Valentino Studded Leather Bag | Chic Pale Nude Studded Shoulder Bag - 2010-12-10 19:00:38-05
    Valentino's been the king of chic Italian design for decades, and while the line has suffered ups and downs since his retirement, they seem to be on the upswing. This studded leather bag is a fabulous example of Valentino's classy take on edgy downtown style. The pale nude color of this tote is pitch perfect. It [...]
  37. Anya Hindmarch Keaton Leather Cross Body Bag | Small Fashionable Navy Bag - 2010-12-10 22:00:09-05
    Anya Hindmarch is  relatively new designer, and as such she has been kind of inconsistent. Her designs have run the gamut from urban perfection to overly designed, over-frilled confections, but what she's really good at is making simple, downtown basics like this one. The Keaton is exactly the kind of bag that brought her name [...]
  38. Bulgari Twist Shoulder Bag | Black Calf Leather Pleated Handbag - 2010-12-11 01:05:25-05
    It's the unexpected design turns of this elegant Bulgari Twist shoulder bag that make it so appealing. The Twist gets its name from the gently contorted accents on the front. They're almost like pleats, but something else. A twist in approach to be sure! Those details are what saves this bag from being boring, but they [...]
  39. My First Purse for Little Fashion Fans | Christmas Gift Idea for Budding Fashionistas - 2010-12-11 02:05:05-05
    We all scoffed, and secretly turned green with envy, when little Suri Cruise stepped out carrying a mini Salvatore Ferragamo handbag. The new My First Purse from International Playthings is a much more appropriate accessory for the budding fashionistas in your life. Of course, this purse doesn't have any of the luxurious touches of Suri's favorite [...]
  40. Burberry Mini Haymarket Splash Studded Sling Bag | Small Blue Splattered Check Purse - 2010-12-11 03:49:04-05
    Burberry has decided to have some fun with its traditional plaid print with this Mini Haymarket Splash Studded Sling Bag. That name is an awful mouthful, so let me break it down for you. Haymarket is that classic Burberry check we've all come to know and love. This time around Burberry has given it a splash [...]
  41. Louis Vuitton Celebrates Diwali | Limited Edition Indian Material from French Fashion House - 2010-12-11 04:05:48-05
    Louis Vuitton is celebrating Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights. It might seem like a strange fit for the French fashion house, but the label says it shares India's respect for tradition and enthusiasm for innovation. It's also had a special relationship with the country for almost 100 years. Louis Vuitton plans to decorate its stores [...]
  42. Halston Heritage Metallic Cotton Medium Tote | Practical Gilded Cotton Tote - 2010-12-11 18:58:18-05
    Sarah Jessica Parker, despite having many naysayers on the subject of her design skills, seems to be doing a masterful job with the Halston Heritage line. This metallic cotton tote is a great example of her simple, but glamorous, design aesthetic. The sprayed metallic treatment on this cotton tote is gorgeous. It manages to be both [...]
  43. Marc Jacobs Jeannie Jewel Applique Large Tweed Clutch | Sparkly Multicolored Tweed Clutch - 2010-12-11 21:00:49-05
    The Marc Jacobs collection is infinitely full of enviable objects. His uniquely American design sensibility has converted women around the world. Unfortunately, this Jeannie tweed clutch isn't his best work. The multicolored tweed is interesting, but not so interesting that I'd want a whole bag covered in it. Especially when you add two colors of leather [...]
  44. Calvin Klein On the Dot Hobo | Red Leather Stud and Grommet Accented Handbag - 2010-12-12 22:10:42-05
    Just when I thought I couldn't stomach another studded bag, Calvin Klein's come up with the On the Dot hobo to change my mind. The keys here are restraint and originality. Rather than covering the purse in metal, Calvin Klein gives us two trails of silver down the sides. Studs alternate with grommets to create a [...]
  45. Hermes Birkin Sells for World Record Price | Vintage Rouge Moyen Bag Sold in Christie's Auction - 2010-12-12 22:30:58-05
    A vintage Hermes Birkin bag broke records recently when it became the most expensive handbag ever sold through London auction house, Christie's. The 1998 Rouge Moyen Birkin, made from alligator skin, was sold for a staggering £49, 000. That's a significant increase from the Birkins' recommended retail prices, which average between $9000 and $15, 000. Most handbags [...]
  46. Carlo Fellini Anai Purse | Black Floral Rose Lace Satin Clutch - 2010-12-12 23:05:58-05
    Oh Carlo Fellini. You do know how to make me swoon with purses like this Anai clutch. The combination of black floral lace overlaid against the warm yellow satin is simply stunning. I love the way the dark roses pop against their cheery background, and sparkle with just a hint of sequins. The combination is dramatic, [...]
  47. Sheila Odessey's Plastic Bag Purses | Recycled Grocery Shoppers Make Eco-Friendly Accessories - 2010-12-12 23:44:42-05
    We've all heard that around 100 billion plastic grocery bags find their way into landfill each year in America alone. Many of us try to help out by carrying reusable totes, but Sheila Odessey has gone the extra mile. This self-confessed scavenger turns discarded plastic bags into chic satchels, purses, and clutch bags. Looking at these [...]
  48. Carlos Falchi Microfiber Shopping Tote | Medium Glossy Brown Leopard Print Handbag - 2010-12-13 01:05:12-05
    We've drooled over Carlos Falchi's stunning python and ostrich purses from afar for many years, but now the designer's offering a bag we can all afford. The problem is, I'm just not sure that I want to. Carlos Falchi flirted with affordability with his line for Target, but this microfiber tote is sold under his own [...]
  49. Proverbial Wallets Control Spending | New Tech Purses React to Bank Accounts - 2010-12-13 02:11:10-05
    With Christmas just around the corner, most of us are starting to get nervous about our next credit card bill. If you're too reliant on the fantastic plastic, a Proverbial Wallet may be ideal for you. These high-tech billfold purses connect via Bluetooth to a smartphone which keeps an eye on your bank account levels, and [...]
  50. CC Skye Blake Hobo | Snake Print Leather Carryall Bag - 2010-12-13 03:05:15-05
    CC Skye gives the hobo a sexy, serpentine makeover with this Blake bag. The traditional crescent shape of the hobo is abandoned for a much larger, curved design. There's still a hint of the slouch that we expect from a hobo, but it's not as relaxed as many bags of this ilk. Personally I think that's [...]
  51. New Jendarling Chelsea Girl Collection | Patterned Organic Garment Bags - 2010-12-13 04:05:49-05
    Jendarling has carved out a niche as one of the few creators of organic garment bags. The eco-conscious label recently added a fun new Chelsea Girl collection to its range, just in time for holiday travel. The bold patterned designs, named after some of Andy Warhol's most famous Factory girls, have a retro, New York feel [...]
  52. Celine Small Orlov Tote | Lapis Blue-Purple Leather Handbag - 2010-12-13 05:05:58-05
    The electric blue-purple leather of this Orlov tote drew me in, but has Celine put enough substance behind that shocking shade to really impress? There's a lot to like about this tote. The simple shape with its seam details is clean and classic. It's the sort of style that will work season after season, day or [...]
