- Judith Leiber Crystal-Embellished Satin Clutch | Art Deco Black Satin Evening Bag - 2010-12-20 17:46:31-05
I have a notoriously conflicted relationship to Judith Leiber's designs. Her overembellished aesthetic doesn't appeal to me much, plus her prices are exorbitant. But every now and then she puts out a classic, beautiful design that I find irresistible. This is one of those. The sleek black satin fabric on this clutch has a matte finish [...]
- Mulberry Greta Large Leather Bag | Perfectly Chic Black Leather Hobo - 2010-12-20 21:00:14-05
To be honest, I didn't really notice Mulberry until the past few seasons. Their line is solidly classic, but some of their designs don't really appeal to my edgy aesthetic. However, some of their designs manage to balance out the traditional and the modern in a way that is almost universally appealing. This Greta shoulder [...]
- Eenamaria for Target Dauphine Stud Hobo | Brown Polyurethane Studded Handbag - 2010-12-21 01:05:10-05
Eenamaria shows us its serious side in its diffusion line for Target. Gone are the bold primary colors and retro styling, replaced by neutral finishes and contemporary details. With the Dauphine Stud Hobo, Eenamaria gives us a relaxed slouchy hobo with a rock and roll finish. Rows of round and pyramid studs curve around the bottom [...]
- Jessica Ennis Motivated by Handbags | Heptathlete Star Buys Mulberry Bags After Big Wins - 2010-12-21 02:05:00-05
Most athletes are motivated by the thrill of competition, the adulation of the fans, and their own will to win. So you might be surprised to learn what keeps British heptathlete Jessica Ennis going. This Olympic hopeful is inspired to do her best by the lure of designer handbags! "I love fashion and especially designer handbags. [...]
- Elaine Turner Bianca Clutch | Ivory Croc Embossed Evening Purse - 2010-12-21 03:05:11-05
Elaine Turner looks to appease women of all tastes with its Bianca clutch. There are several different Biancas to choose from, all with a very distinct evening look. I think the pick of the bunch is this crocodile embossed purse. No one will think it's an authentic exotic, but I really like the way that silver [...]
- Rachel Roy's Unicef Charity Tote | Burlap Bag for Pakistan Flood Relief - 2010-12-21 04:05:11-05
Fashion designer Rachel Roy is spreading a little Christmas cheer to flood victims in Pakistan with the release of her new UNICEF Charity Tote. The simple burlap tote is emblazoned with a quote from novelist Amelia E. Barr, "Kindness is always fashionable." How very true! The back of the tote is filled with signatures of prominent [...]
- Elie Tahari Beverly Tote | Versatile Dark Denim Weave Carryall - 2010-12-21 05:05:28-05
Elie Tahari delivers the kind of bag that can happily take us from nine to five and beyond with this Beverly tote. The weave calls to mind the Matelasse finish on the Miu Miu bags we've admired of late, but in dark denim it's a little more casual. Just a little mind you, as the deep [...]
- Marni Rosette Embellished Clutch | Fluffy And Feminine Black Tulle Evening Bag - 2010-12-21 16:57:31-05
If you've never heard of Marni, you're probably American. Marni is kind of the European version of Marc by Marc Jacobs, a hip youthful line with a tinge of classicism. This rosette clutch has a quirky, feminine appeal that's elegant enough for grown ups, too. The tulle rosettes that make up the body of the bag [...]
- MICHAEL Michael Kors Rattan And Leather Box Clutch | Summery Woven Clutch - 2010-12-21 20:00:05-05
Okay, I need to make a confession. I am officially over looking at resort bags in the middle of winter. If they were inventive or interesting, that would be fine. But so far they really haven't been. Michael Kors is a major culprit in the lackluster department, and this rattan and leather clutch isn't doing [...]
- Chloe Perforated Leather Bucket Bag | Tan Moto-Inspired Retro Shoulder Bag - 2010-12-21 23:00:07-05
Oh, Chloe, I almost always love you. You who have made motorcycle-inspired accessories so very very chic. Thanks for this totally awesome 80's style bucket bag that's both edgy and totally wearable. The shape of this bag is such a traditional bucket, with the hard, structured bottom and the soft perforated top. The smooth drawstring and [...]
- Ellington Roxanne Shoulder Bag | Belt Accented Black Leather Rock 'n' Roll Purse - 2010-12-22 01:05:42-05
I've seen bags accented with belts before, but I've never seen a label take it to the extreme of the Roxanne. Ellington has made a really risky design choice with this shoulder bag, but I think it's paid off. Ellington has given this bag a cool, rock 'n' roll style look without resorting to clichés. Studs [...]
- LVMH Grabs More Hermes Shares | Louis Vuitton Company Increases Stake in French Fashion House - 2010-12-22 02:05:25-05
LVMH, the company responsible for Louis Vuitton, has taken a larger slice of the Hermes International pie. The brand bought 17.1% of the company in October, but recently upped its stake in the French luxury brand to around 20.21%. LVMH originally insisted it had only "friendly" intentions towards Hermes, but the founding families weren't convinced. Given [...]
- Elliott Lucca Granada Tote | Chocolate Brown Leather Turnlock Closure Handbag - 2010-12-22 03:05:08-05
Elliott Lucca has seamlessly blended classic elements and contemporary details in the Granada Tote. Belts cinch in the sides of the Granada, creating a silhouette which is much more modern than the classic box shape. The large round turnlock clasp is another beautiful touch. It secures the large front pocket, and also provides a handy surface [...]
- School Board Attack Bag Fetches Big Bucks on eBay | Handbag Used to Fend Off Gunman Up for Auction - 2010-12-22 04:05:28-05
A faux crocodile purse owned by Florida school board member Ginger Littleton may end up being the most expensive handbag of its ilk auctioned on eBay. Despite not being a genuine exotic, the bag stands at almost $13, 000 at the time of writing, with some 20 hours to go. The reason for the popularity of [...]
- Emilie Sloan Abby Train Case | Affordable Large Collapsible Floral Cosmetics Bag - 2010-12-22 05:05:02-05
Tiny cosmetics purses might handle your make-up minimum for an evening out, but if you're traveling these holidays you'll need something larger to handle your beauty swag. This Abby train case from Emilie Sloan is an ideal solution that won't break the bank. Emilie Sloan keeps the price down to a reasonable $45 by using coated [...]
- Emilio Pucci Rainbow Clutch | Blue Striped Kisslock Vintage Purse - 2010-12-23 01:05:59-05
Emilio Pucci reins in his love of color ever so slightly with this rainbow clutch. The typically flamboyant designer has resisted the urge to imbue this purse with every color of the rainbow, preferring instead to use complementary blue and turquoise tones. I appreciate his restraint here. The pretty stripes are fun without appearing over the [...]
- Purse Treatments at Handbag Spa | Restore & Repair Old Bags - 2010-12-23 02:05:55-05
Many fashionistas will book themselves in for a spa treatment or two to relax this holiday season. But spare a thought for your tired old purses! They can enjoy just the same restorative rejuvenation at Berkshire's Handbag Spa, near London. The spa's staff members look to give old handbags their original luster with a range of [...]
- Etienne Aigner Whitney Satchel | Slouchy Buckled Signature Brown Leather Bag - 2010-12-23 03:05:59-05
Etienne Aigner bags are typically clean and refined, but the label seems to have been influenced by modern designs with this Whitney satchel. The uncluttered, smooth lines we usually associate with Etienne Aigner are gone, replaced instead with gleaming hardware and a casual slouch. The style invokes a large bow with its buckled center and fanned [...]
- Urban Junket's New t.o.t.e. Bags | Eco-Friendly Organic Cotton Accessories - 2010-12-23 04:05:13-05
Urban Junket has recently added eco-friendly purses to its exhaustive accessories line. The collection is called t.o.t.e, a clever acronym which means To Observe the Earth. Every t.o.t.e. bag is crafted entirely from organic cotton and colored with azo-free dyes. The interiors are also eco-conscious, with linings made from RPET material. This high-tech fabric is cleverly [...]
- Felix Rey Happy Knit Tote | Black Smiley Face Wool Purse - 2010-12-23 05:05:38-05
There's a fine line between whimsical and childish, but Felix Rey has well and truly crossed it with this Happy Knit Tote. I suppose there's a cheery charm to this smiling white face with his yellow pom-pom nose, but really. Can you imagine any fully grown adult wanting to carry this tote? It's more than a [...]
- Lanvin Python Print Cotton Canvas Overnight Bag | Fabulous And Practical Python Carryon - 2010-12-23 14:16:08-05
Lanvin's edgy take on French style has a definite wild side. Even in-flight classics like this one have a modern tinge that make them totally current. I am in love with this practical beauty of this python print canvas overnight bag. The print on the fabric is spot on. It's realistic, but a little faded around [...]
- Mulberry Clipper Twill Fold-Up Bag | Fabulous Neon Nylon Update To A Travel Classic - 2010-12-23 21:33:15-05
Mulberry is one of those lines that's aesthetic is so classic that their pieces can work with just about anything. Which is why I was absolutely shocked to see how they updated their Clipper bag. Lately, the neon trend has begun to wear thin, but this is one bag worth noticing, which is good, because [...]
- MICHAEL Michael Kors Python Effect Leather Tote | Cool Patent Python Carryall - 2010-12-24 00:00:49-05
It's not often that I say this about a diffusion line, but I definitely like MICHAEL more than I like the Michael Kors collection accessories. Honestly, they have a very similar aesthetic, but the MICHAEL line's prices are so much more reasonable that I automatically like them better. Unfortunately, this particular tote is not my [...]
- Christian Dior Libertine Hobo | Medium Folded Black Leather Handbag - 2010-12-24 01:05:50-05
Christian Dior is a label that tends to stick with the tried and true. So I was thrilled to see it busting out a bit with this Libertine hobo. This is a hobo that reminds us that slouch can look sophisticated. The buttery soft qualities of the leather are emphasized with gorgeous vertical folds. This hobo's [...]
- Recycled Newspaper Bags | Eco-Friendly Handbags Made From Old Papers - 2010-12-24 02:05:21-05
This fun newspaper bag can carry your daily essentials, and offer something to read while you're waiting at the bus stop. You wouldn't expect that a tote made from newspaper would be the smartest thing to carry outdoors, particularly during wild wintery weather. However its creators have thought of everything, laminating the pages with a strong, [...]
- Donald J Pliner Seeyu Pouch | Slouchy Mini Green Leather Crossbody Purse - 2010-12-24 03:05:56-05
We've seen Donald J Pliner weave its magic in many larger bags. Now with the Seeyu pouch, the fashion house shows us what it can do on a smaller scale. Most small bags tend to be made for evenings out, but Donald J Pliner takes a more relaxed approach. I just wonder whether it's too relaxed. [...]
- Hello Rewind Turns T-Shirts Into Laptop Sleeves | Recycled Tech Bags Help Sex Trafficking Survivors - 2010-12-24 04:05:34-05
We've all got those T-shirts hiding at the bottom of our drawers, the ones we love but can't bear to wear, or part with. It might be the New Kids on the Block tour T-shirt, or that designer tee you swear you'll fit again if you lose a few more pounds. Let's face it; they're [...]
- Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Bowling Bag | Classic Black Lace Accented Handbag - 2010-12-24 05:05:07-05
You'd never catch the Miss Sicily at your local alley. This Dolce & Gabbana Bowling Bag is far too refined for that! While bowlers were originally designed for schlepping your balls and shoes to your local lanes, bags like this give the style an up market makeover. But don't think it's forgotten its roots altogether. The [...]
- Coccinelle Chain Stripe Hobo | Affordable Elegant Medium Navy Handbag - 2010-12-25 01:05:58-05
We've all heard that the simplest things are often the best, and I think this Coccinelle handbag proves it. It's a textbook hobo, with its slouchy body and crescent shape, but there's something about it that elevates it above the pack. Perhaps it's those smooth, clean lines, which are only emphasized by the chic vertical piping. [...]
- Tripp Gregson Street Sign Briefcases | Quirky Recycled Aluminum Office Bags - 2010-12-25 02:05:49-05
This recycled street sign briefcase from North Carolina-based artist Tripp Gregson makes a fun, eco-friendly alternative to traditional office bags. The case is carefully crafted from salvaged traffic signs, which are both tough and colorful. And don't worry, they were all obtained legally! It's important to make a statement amongst the office drones, but thankfully this [...]
- Donna Sharp Jenna Shoulder Bag | Earth Patch Gingham Fabric Handbag - 2010-12-25 03:05:14-05
Donna Sharp gives us a purse that's green in color only with the Jenna. This shoulder bag has a neutral toned gingham pattern that the designer calls Earth Patch. It seems to suggest that there's something especially eco-friendly about this shoulder bag, but that's not the case. Instead it's made from the same fabrics Donna Sharp [...]
- Hunter Rubber Tote Bag | Quirky Waterproof Rubber Rain Handbag - 2010-12-25 04:05:19-05
Hunter is famous around the world for its rain boots, but it's recently made a move into the accessories world. Its Tall Original Rubber Tote is just the thing for keeping your cargo dry when winter showers hit. This tote is made from the same rubber we've seen on Hunter's wellingtons. Aside from the practical benefit, [...]
- DKNY Studded Shoulder Bag | Black Lizard Embossed Flap Purse - 2010-12-26 01:05:29-05
If studs really are on the way out, someone forgot to send DKNY the memo. This purse proudly shows its love of shiny metal, and how! There are pointy pyramid studs, smooth dome studs, and even flat hexagonal ones. That's a lot of studs to digest, and personally it's too much for me to swallow, especially [...]
- Stylish Sustainable Aura Que Bags | Fair Trade Eco-Friendly Handbags from Nepal - 2010-12-26 02:05:58-05
Many fashion labels have jumped on the eco-friendly bandwagon, but it's rare to find green purses that are stylish, as well as sustainable. Aura Que gets the blend right with its natural purses made in Nepal. Aura Que bags are crafted by Nepalese artisans working under fair trade conditions. They use a combination of post consumer [...]
- Fendi Woven Twins Tote | Tan Suede & Snakeskin Accented Handbag - 2010-12-26 03:05:59-05
Fendi is a revered fashion house, but its accessories have always been a little hit and miss for me. There are only so many signature printed purses one girl can handle after all. So I'm thrilled to see the Italian label trying something new with this Twins tote. There are so many woven bags on the [...]
- Diana Eng's New Fortune Cookie Coin Purses | Cute Quirky Recycled Leather Wallets - 2010-12-26 04:05:05-05
What does 2011 hold for you? One of these cute new Fortune Cookie Coin purses from Diana Eng might not hold the answers, but it should ensure you get plenty of attention in the New Year! Many purists argue that no leather purse is truly eco-friendly, but I admire the green lengths that Diana Eng has [...]
- Burberry Printed Canvas Tote | Navy And White Check Cotton Carryall - 2010-12-26 20:05:54-05
Burberry has really been stepping out of their usual understated aesthetic to make more urban accessories that appeal to a younger, hipper demographic. This check canvas tote is a great balance between their traditional style and a a newer, more downtown look. The printed canvas is strong, durable, and easy to clean. If it weren't for [...]
- Marni Pocketed Leather Tote | Sleek Navy Shoulder Bag With Grosgrain Ties - 2010-12-26 22:00:33-05
Marni is really making waves these days. They have a unique way of making bags that are modern and edgy, but still somehow very feminine. This pocketed leather tote is definitely one of the bags helping them become a household name. The subtle combination of colors on this tote is one of the things making it [...]
- Marc By Marc Jacobs Jumbled Birds Tote | Pale Pink Carryall With Quirky Bird Print - 2010-12-27 00:00:52-05
Marc Jacobs is having a banner 2010. The year is almost over, but he's still pumping out great bags that women will love for years. This Jumbled Birds tote has all the sweetness and light of a resort bag, but with a little downtown kick. The print on this bag is so sugary, it's giving me [...]
