- Nine West Show Off Small Clutch | With Folded Metallic Ruffle Decoration - 2010-11-29 14:46:19-05
If you are looking for a party clutch, then this metallic creation from Nine West is sure to be tempting. Silver is always a winner for winter, and the crackled pattern gives it a certain modern feeling without being too over the top. Add to that a seemingly arbitrary pattern of luxurious folded ruffles, and you [...]
- Carlos Falchi Diagonal Ombre Feed Bag | Chicly Casual Slouchy Python Shoulder Bag - 2010-11-29 14:54:55-05
I have only recently begun to pay attention to Carlos Falchi's designs, and I am totally blown away. He has an uncanny knack for understanding what modern women are looking for in a handbag. This ombre feed bag is a fabulous, low key everyday bag with an exotic appeal. The ombre-dyed python skin on this feed [...]
- Stella McCartney Shoulder Hobo | Cheap Looking Black Faux Leather Bag - 2010-11-29 17:00:26-05
Frankly, I am getting a little tired of Stella McCartney's accessories. I am completely behind her use of animal-friendly materials, but I just can't tolerate her cheap-looking materials or unexciting designs. Not only that, but her exorbitant prices are more than a little off-putting. This shoulder hobo is just another example of her over-priced, lackluster [...]
- Botkier Conor Large Shoulder Bag | Brown Urban Hobo With Western Styling - 2010-11-29 19:00:12-05
Botkier is one of my favorite lines of handbags. I really love their signature practical minimalism. Which is why I am so disappointed by this Conor shoulder bag. It's a little overdesigned, and also a little underthought. The material used on the Conor is a major part of the problem. The chevron-embossed leather just isn't really [...]
- Tory Burch Mclane Zip Tote | Oversized Grey Croc-Embossed Carryall - 2010-11-29 21:00:39-05
Tory Burch is the queen of upper crust fashion. She's got her pulse on all the poshest bastions of conservative style, most notably Palm Beach and the Upper East Side. If you're in Miami, you can hardly walk a step in Bal Harbor without a pair of Tory Burch styles. It's classic, but distinctive styles [...]
- Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Drawstring Bag | Cool Blue Croc Carryall - 2010-11-30 00:00:12-05
Nancy Gonzalez is a relative newcomer to the fashion world, but so far, I am absolutely loving her style. All her bags are beautifully handcrafted of exotic skins, and her light design touch makes her bags timeless and elegant. This drawstring bag is gorgeous addition to her growing line. The blue crocodile skin on this bag [...]
- Adidas Striker Duffel Bag | Affordable Medium Pink Polyester Gym Handbag - 2010-11-30 01:05:42-05
Adidas puts functionality first with this sporty Striker Duffel bag. It's amazing how much Adidas has crammed in considering this duffel's bargain $35 price. It's generously sized, although there's a larger version available if you need more space. Personally I think this one finds a happy medium; it's not big enough to be cumbersome but it [...]
- Eva Longoria Donates Purse to Handbag Auction | French Fundraiser for Children's Charity - 2010-11-30 02:05:28-05
American actress Eva Longoria has joined a host of French celebrities in donating handbags for an online French charity auction. The casual black snake-embossed messenger pictured has been generously donated by the Desperate Housewives star. I can't place the designer, but it's a lovely thing. This purse joins ones from a who's who of the French [...]
- Alexander McQueen Mini Book Clutch | Sophisticated Classic Black Crocodile Embossed Purse - 2010-11-30 03:05:23-05
After lusting after so many quirky handbags from Alexander McQueen, I was surprised to see this Mini Book clutch amongst the late designer's last collection. It's just so traditional and reserved; it's hard to believe it came from the same man that gave us skull adorned box clutches. But adjust your expectations a little and [...]
- Eco-Friendly LAYERxlayer Handbags | Handcrafted Denim & Canvas Purses - 2010-11-30 04:05:53-05
New York label LAYERxlayer reminds us that bigger isn't always better. By keeping its operations small, design team Patrick and Leah offer the kind of attention to detail that the major labels often miss. Patrick's background in architecture and Leah's in industrial design combine to create bags and other accessories which are functional and elegant. They're [...]
- Alexander Wang Dionne Clutch | Black Leather Belted Everyday Purse - 2010-11-30 05:05:18-05
Alexander Wang's day bags have quickly become favorite accessories of style icons like Christina Aguilera, Blake Lively, and Nicole Ritchie. So it's disappointing to see the designer delivering something as lackluster as this Dionne clutch. There's a fine line between traditional and tired of course, but I think Alexander Wang has come down on the wrong [...]
- Marc By Marc Jacobs Leaf Print Laptop Case | Colorful And Fun Computer Sleeve - 2010-11-30 13:04:11-05
The Marc by Marc Jacobs line has a way of making even the most utilitarian accessories colorful and fun. This leaf print laptop sleeve is a colorful and fashionable way to add a little fun to your laptop. We've been seeing this abstract leaf print on a lot of Marc's accessories this season. Frankly, I haven't [...]
- Miu Miu Crocodile Stamped Leather Wallet | Understated Pale Grey Faux Croc Wallet - 2010-11-30 15:00:53-05
Why is it that Miu Miu's line of handbags is totally uneven, but their wallets are always spot on? Perhaps because wallets are such a utilitarian accessory that they know not to try to take them too over the top? I'm not really sure what the reason is, but I'm thankful it's true, nonetheless. This [...]
- Rampage Santorini Convertible Clutch | Knotted Ruched Synthetic Leather Purse - 2010-11-30 15:39:51-05
"I'm causing a stir without even trying." Apparently that is what the Santorini clutch manages, at least according to the product blurb. OK, taking the mickey out of this purse aside, I can kind of see what they mean. There is a certain understated quality about the plain beige synthetic leather, which manages to be incredibly [...]
- Juicy Couture Velour Tote | Classic Studded Daydreamer Handbag - 2010-11-30 16:44:10-05
There is nothing in the world that is quite as cheery as a rainbow. Perhaps this is why this Juicy Couture tote is quite so fun, because of that studded rainbow logo all across the front. And OK, so this tote is velour, and that is pretty hard to get past. However, that does make it [...]
- Tory Burch Logo Leather Clutch | Classic Uptown Crinkled Ivory Leather Clutch - 2010-11-30 19:00:59-05
Tory Burch's understated, classic accessories are the stuff that uptown dreams are made of. This logo clutch is a stylish, but conservative, clutch that will work for day or night. The textured ivory leather on this bag is more pebbled than crinkled. However you want to interpret it, the effect is subtle and refined. The ivory [...]
- Marc By Marc Jacobs Jumble-Embossed Neoprene iPad Case | Cute Designer Logo Sleeve - 2010-11-30 22:00:24-05
Last Christmas, when I was in NYC, I went to buy gifts at the Marc by Marc Jacobs store in the West Village. The lines were literally down the block, and it was all I could do to grab a few pairs of fingerless gloves and get out the door. Cool, casual accessories like this [...]
- Alexis Hudson Hope Tote | Convertible Pebbled Leather Turn-Lock Handbag - 2010-12-01 01:05:44-05
Alexis Hudson has always been one of those labels that fly underneath the radar. That's a good thing for its fans, as it keeps smart bags like this Hope Tote reasonably priced. At $565, this tote isn't exactly cheap but it offers us a lot of value for our dollar. The first attraction you'll notice straight [...]
- Porsche Design's New Lean BriefBag | Streamlined Luxury Office Briefcase - 2010-12-01 02:05:30-05
Porsche Design has created a new briefcase for business folk who like to streamline their workdays. The Porsche Design P2150 2.2 Lean BriefBag minimizes wasted space with its "lean management" design approach. Porsche has done its research here. It realized that most briefcases contain too much excess space, which leads to overfilling with unnecessary bits and [...]
- American West Lady Lace Tote | Practical Triple Compartment Hand-Tooled Leather Handbag - 2010-12-01 03:05:25-05
American West's frontier styled handbags aren't to everyone's tastes, but at least you always know what you're going to get. The brand fiercely clings to its creative vision with Western bags like this Lady Lace tote. This is one of the most feminine American West handbags I've seen. It gets its name not from real lace, [...]
- Stella McCartney's New Baby Girl | British Designer Gives Birth to Reiley Willis - 2010-12-01 04:05:49-05
It's a baby girl for handbag designing mom Stella McCartney. The staunch animal activist gave birth to daughter Reiley Willis on Tuesday November 23. Reiley is the fourth child for McCartney and her art dealer husband Alasdhair Willis. The new bub was born in London, the day after the annual Christmas lights party at McCartney's flagship [...]
- Ananas Shauna Shoulder Bag | Retro Minimalist Citrus Leather Handbag - 2010-12-01 05:05:01-05
In a world of fashion followers, the designers that love to walk alone really stand out. Ananas is one of those intriguing brands that refuses to bow to trends. And with bags like the Shauna shoulder bag, it shows us the beauty that comes from original design. Ananas knows that a material like this lush lambskin [...]
- Lanvin Faubourg Cabas Printed Cotton Tote | Bold Snake Print Cotton Carryall - 2010-12-01 19:11:41-05
Lanvin is one of those lines that inspires a cultishly loyal following. Their designs sit right on the edge of avant garde, but stay close enough to the mainstream to be totally wearable. This Faubourg Cabas tote combines the line's edgy sensibility with a strong dose of practicality. The snakeskin print on the bag is bold [...]
- Lanvin Amalia Large Leather Shoulder Bag | Parisian Chic Quilted Black Leather Bag - 2010-12-01 21:00:41-05
Lanvin's line of Amalia bags are iconic and classic, and, personally, I think this is the best of the lot. It manages to look terribly sophisticated and still be totally practical at the same time. The black leather on the Amalia has a softly wrinkled and quilted texture. The matte finish emphasizes the textural elements, and [...]
- Imoshion Karma Satchel | Affordable Yellow Floral Rope Handle Handbag - 2010-12-02 01:05:39-05
Imoshion brings us flowers and feminine flair with this pretty Karma satchel. I really love the cheery yellow color, which might be just the thing for brightening those gray winter days ahead. This sunny hue is paired with pretty brown flowers, which are accented with beads and sequins for just a hint of glitz. The look is [...]
- Lost Property of London's Coffee Bean Bags | Handbags From Recycled Sacks - 2010-12-02 02:05:39-05
I thought I'd seen eco-friendly handbags made from every material imaginable, but it seems I was wrong. Lost Property of London reuses coffee sacks to create its range of accessories. The rucksacks, totes, and shoulder bags from Lost Property of London have a lovely, rustic charm to them. Green purists may cringe at the leather trim [...]
- Puma Special Pop Satchel | Cartoon Style Patent Synthetic Handbag - 2010-12-02 03:05:43-05
Puma's iconic Special Satchel gets a cartoonish makeover with this fun Special Pop edition. This purse looks like it might have been created by Andy Warhol or Roy Lichenstein with its bold lines and playful use of color. I love the trompe l'oeil of the red corner patches and aqua strap holders. They won't make the [...]
- Stuart Weitzman Does Salmon Bags | Nanai Skin Purses for Spring/Summer 2011 - 2010-12-02 04:05:15-05
Stuart Weitzman has looked to the seas for inspiration in creating its spring/summer 2011 collection. The range features four stunning handbags embellished with nanai salmon leather. The bags from Weitzman's Jade line are made from printed leather and accented with the salmon skins. The delicate scales of the nanai salmon leather make it appear a lot [...]
- Nicole Lee Houndstooth Sequin Shopper | Unusual Convertible Checked Purse - 2010-12-02 05:05:57-05
Nicole Lee seems to have set out to silence anyone who thinks the combination of black and white is boring. This Houndstooth shopper is so far from ordinary, I barely know what to make of it! From a fairly traditional base Nicole Lee seems determined to break almost every rule. The shape of this shopper is [...]
- Marc By Marc Jacobs Natasha Leather Bag | Cute Update To A Downtown Style - 2010-12-03 17:35:42-05
Marc by Marc Jacobs is really making a splash this holiday season. He's recently released a whole slew of updates to already popular styles, all priced in the reasonable range for a special holiday gift. This Natasha bag has gotten a quirky upgrade by way of a golden bird embellishment. The finely pebbled grain of the [...]
- Lanvin Sac Oulouette Satin Clutch | Sleek Black Satin And Crystal Foldover Clutch - 2010-12-03 19:00:20-05
Lanvin's signature blend of luxury and style make them a chic choice to pair with all your holiday evening wear. This Sac Oulouette is a gorgeously glamorous, but subtle, bit of French frippery. The sleek black satin on the Sac Oulouette is absolutely seamless. The elegant foldover design is punctuated only by the black crystal flower [...]
- Marc By Marc Jacobs Small Textured Leather Bowling Bag | Deep Blue Leather Bowler - 2010-12-03 21:00:19-05
I'm totally thrilled with the Marc by Marc Jacob's line's latest offerings. They're doing a lot of chic, quirky reinterpretations of their other bags, and also of bags from the Marc Jacobs collection. This Bowler calls to mind similar bags from the Collection, but at a lower price point, and in a slightly more urban [...]
- Anne Klein Classico Crossbody Bag | Elegant Tan Leather Handbag - 2010-12-03 23:35:09-05
Anne Klein reminds us that the most appealing bags aren't always the ones that scream the loudest with this Classico Crossbody bag. Its name obviously comes from Anne Klein's classic design approach. This purse is pleasantly free of frills and frippery, but that doesn't mean it's boring. I really like the stitched details around the top [...]
- Expensive David August iPad Case | Luxury Alligator Technology Pouch - 2010-12-04 00:19:53-05
We almost fell off our chairs when Tod's released its alligator skin iPad case, but now David August has upped the ante. While Tod's tech pouch cost $4900, David August's new accessory is priced at a whopping $6900. That makes it the most expensive iPad case in the world. It's hard to justify the price difference, [...]
- Antik Batik Pampa Mini Bag | Taupe Snakeskin Crossbody Purse - 2010-12-04 00:56:07-05
Antik Batik gives us luxury for considerably less than many big name designers with this Pampa Mini Bag. Given its lovely taupe toned snakeskin body, I was pleasantly surprised to see it priced at just $345. Of course we're not getting a lot of bag for our dollar, but whenever an authentic exotic purse is priced [...]
- Celebrities Love Gucci 1973 Tote | Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, & More Have New It Bag - 2010-12-04 00:57:54-05
Our taste for It bags waned once the financial crisis hit, but it seems they might be making a comeback. The first genuine contender for the title in some time is the Gucci 1973 tote bag. These things all start with celebrity endorsements after all, and plenty of stars have been spotted carrying this gorgeous purse. [...]
- Anuschka Half Moon Wristlet | Hand Painted Hibiscus Flower Clutch Purse - 2010-12-04 00:59:39-05
I haven't always warmed to the hand painted purses from Anuschka, but I think the label's onto a winner with this half moon wristlet. While Anuschka's trademark painted designs can look a little kitschy on a large canvas, they're ideal on this small scale. The blue hibiscus flowers of this purse give it a Polynesian feel. [...]
- Anya Hindmarch Joss Wallet | Studded Red Patent Leather Purse - 2010-12-04 16:51:20-05
A wallet needn't be simply a functional accessory to tuck away in the bottom of your bag. If you're carrying a wallet like the Joss from Anya Hindmarch, it deserves to take center stage. While it doesn't have the space of a clutch, I'd be tempted to travel light and use it as an evening purse. [...]
- New Bill to Prevent Fashion Fakes | Innovative Design Protection & Piracy Prevention Act Passed - 2010-12-04 17:48:51-05
A new bill passed by the US Senate Judiciary Committee should help to protect our favorite handbag designers from those nasty knock-offs. The Innovative Design Protection and Piracy Prevention Act grants "unique and original designs" three years copyright protection. Under the bill your average plain black tote probably wouldn't be covered, but the Alexander McQueen hard [...]
- Ashley M Aurora Shoulder Bag | Fun Red Sequined Handbag - 2010-12-04 18:21:52-05
Perhaps it's the holiday season, but I'm in the mood for bags as fun and frothy as this Aurora Shoulder Bag from Ashley M. There's nothing subtle about this purse. Those large round sequins will catch the light, adding an injection of glitz and party vibes to your everyday. With Christmas in the air this festive [...]
- J. McLaughlin's Holiday Handbags | Festive Limited Edition Purses - 2010-12-04 18:55:26-05
I love Christmas as much, if not more, than the next person. I love getting together with family, singing along to Christmas carols, eating and drinking too much, and of course the presents. But there's another reason I adore this time of year: all those gorgeous holiday handbag collections! The latest to turn my head [...]
- Miu Miu Matelasse Leather Clutch | Opulent Quilted Black Leather Evening Bag - 2010-12-04 23:59:24-05
Miu Miu's Matelasse bags are the best designed accessories they've put out in seasons. Thankfully, there's a whole series of them, because the rest of Miu Miu's offerings have been lackluster, over-the-top, or a bizarre combination of both. This Matelasse clutch is a spot-on bit of glamour for an evening on the town. I'm crazy about [...]
- B. Makowsky Classics Derby Hobo | Sophisticated Structured Trapezoid Leather Purse - 2010-12-05 21:53:25-05
B. Makowsky gives the hobo style a sleek makeover with this Derby bag. It's from B. Makowsky's Classics range, but that term refers more to its timeless style than its adherence to hobo tradition. While most hobos are slouchy affairs with boho vibes, this one is a structured, sophisticated creature. Reinforced corners and complementary stitching help [...]
- Travelteq Trip Travel Bags | High Tech Suitcases with Seats & Sound Systems - 2010-12-05 22:23:49-05
With the holiday season upon us, it's time to start thinking about the travel bags that will accompany us to our Christmas destinations. If you favor high tech goodies, the new Trip bag from Travelteq will definitely do the trick. This bag reminds me more of a Decepticons robot than a suitcase. A kangaroo compartment in [...]
- Bottega Veneta Shopping Intrecciato Leather Tote | Intricately Woven Pea Green Leather Shopper - 2010-12-05 22:44:14-05
Before Bottega Veneta, I hated woven leather bags. Their amazing intrecciato technique quickly changed my mind, but this shopper is a little less than I've come to expect from the label. The pea green leather is an interesting choice. I mean "interesting" in the way say you think something's interesting because you don't want to say [...]
- Baby Phat Crayon Print Backpack | Affordable Colorful Cat School Bag - 2010-12-05 22:58:56-05
I've always thought most designs from Baby Phat were a little bit childish, so it makes sense that Kimora Lee Simmons label is now making a play for the schoolyard set. This Crayon Print backpack would look great on the back of any budding scholar. Baby Phat's signature cat sits elegantly on the front of the [...]
- Kirsten Dunst Donates Louis Vuitton Bag to Charity Auction | Online Sale for Art of Elysium - 2010-12-05 23:41:06-05
Actress Kirsten Dunst is auctioning one of her favorite Louis Vuitton purses, including its entire contents, for charity. The online auction will benefit Art of Elysium, a charity which puts on artistic workshops for sick children at New York and Los Angeles hospitals. The organization is close to Kirsten's heart, as she's led play writing workshops [...]
- Marc By Marc Jacobs Pouchette Small Leather Bag | Playful Taupe Leather Bag - 2010-12-06 00:00:19-05
Marc By Marc Jacobs' bags spawn hordes of imitations. This new line of bird-embellished beauties is certainly not going to be an exception. This taupe leather pouchette is a perfectly petite, perfectly priced cross body bag that will take you well into spring and summer. Marc Jacobs calls this color taupe, but it looks more like [...]
- Badgley Mischka Harrit Shine Hobo | Soft Red Leather Zipper Handbag - 2010-12-06 01:05:27-05
Gloss is a funny thing. Not enough and your bag will blend into the background. Too much and it looks trashy and cheap. But the right amount can make a handbag look super stylish and modern. I think Badgley Mischka has got the balance right with this Harrit Shine Hobo. The gentle gloss helps to emphasize [...]
- Helena de Natalio Giselle XL Clutch | Large Version of this Metallic Striped Leather Purse - 2010-12-06 09:06:48-05
If you loved the compact Giselle clutch from Helena de Natalio, then I don't doubt you will be very glad to see an extra large version from the stylish fashion house. This oversized clutch does, by default, make this smart design much more day appropriate than its smaller counterpart. The metallic leather contrasting with the patent chevrons is still [...]
