- Michael Kors Metallic Python Envelope Clutch | Gold Disco Fabulous Evening Bag - 2011-01-03 15:48:54-05
Michael Kors has had a pretty great run this season, particularly if you take into consideration his diffusion line, MICHAEL. He seems to be moving in a hipper, more minimal direction, and staying away from the kind of overembellishment that a lot of designers have gotten sucked into. This sleek metallic python clutch is some [...]
- Hermes Silk Travel Case | Leather Trimmed Simple Blue Cosmetics Purse - 2011-01-04 01:05:20-05
Sorry Hermes. I know the handbag world fawns at your feet, but I'm just not feeling your silk travel case. A label held in such high esteem should be able to produce something more inspiring than this. Words like "pleasant" and "nice" come to mind when I look at this simple blue silk case. It's inoffensive, [...]
- Selena Gomez's New Dream Out Loud Collection | Winter Bags & Clothes from Disney Star - 2011-01-04 02:05:30-05
You'd think Selena Gomez's schedule would be pretty full, between acting duties on Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place and time spent romancing her new man Justin Bieber. But she's still found time to release a new collection of her Dream Out Loud fashion range. The goodies for winter 2010/2011 include casual jeans, T-shirts, jackets, hats, scarves, [...]
- Hobo International Bella Cross-Body Bag | Practical Convertible Rouge Red Leather Everyday Purse - 2011-01-04 03:05:51-05
Hobo International packs an extra practical punch into their Bella cross-body purse. This red leather purse is small to ensure it doesn't weigh you down on a busy day. But don't think you'll miss out on too much storage space. Hobo has added a large zippered pocket to the outside, which is roomy enough to handle [...]
- Bryce Dallas Howard Stars in Kate Spade Advertisements | First Celebrity Model for American Fashion Brand - 2011-01-04 04:05:50-05
Bryce Dallas Howard is the first celebrity model to grace a Kate Spade advertising campaign. The Twilight actress stars in the American handbag designer's spring commercials. Bryce stands atop steps, megaphone in hand, seemingly telling the world all about the colorful purses hanging across her body and her cute new Kate Spade dress! Bryce is clearly honored [...]
- Hype Sabrina Satchel | Studded Belted Black Leather Structured Handbag - 2011-01-04 05:05:25-05
Hype ups the attitude with this edgy leather Sabrina satchel. It might be just me, but I can't help thinking of a straitjacket when I look at this purse. Something about all those criss-crossing belts screams metal asylum garb. But perhaps that unhinged personality is just what Hype was aiming for. I could have swallowed a [...]
- Fendi Secret Code Satchel | Luxury Brown Leather Work Bag - 2011-01-04 07:59:41-05
I doubt I am the only person in the world who has made some pretty challenging new years resolutions with which to face 2011. If any of yours involve work or getting that promotion, then let me present to you the Fendi Secret Code satchel as the perfect bag to help you achieve just that. OK, [...]
- Red Blossom Silk Brocade Clutch | Classic Yet Affordable Purse - 2011-01-04 08:38:40-05
January is a hard month all round - everyone is skint, depressed and downright miserable. The best thing to cheer you up would be to buy something, were it not for the fact that you have no money at all. Thank god, therefore, for affordable handbags like this brocade clutch from Red Blossom. At just $19.50 [...]
- Marni Convertible Leather Bag | Edgy And Elegant Black Zippered Bag - 2011-01-04 18:01:36-05
Marni is making my favorite accessories this season. They're taking a minimal approach to the trends and the effects are spot on. This convertible bag is the ultimate downtown everyday bag. The black leather material is supple and has a smooth grain and a nice sheen. The silver hardware gives the bag a tough appeal, but [...]
- Jimmy Choo Saba Textured Leather Tote | Not So Impressive Sand Colored Tote - 2011-01-04 21:00:13-05
Jimmy Choo's past few seasons have been fantastic. He's really given his posh aesthetic a street savvy makeover, and I, personally, love it. Unfortunately, this Saba textured leather tote is not the most interesting bag the line has come up with lately. Part of the problem lies in the material. I love the sandy color and [...]
- Imoshion Lotto Satchel | Affordable Large Slouchy Red Faux Leather Handbag - 2011-01-05 01:05:29-05
We all dream of winning the lotto and splurging on all those designer handbags that are always beyond our budgets. If you're still dreaming about that big win, an affordable bag like this Lotto satchel might be for you. With bags like the Karma and Melrose, Imoshion has delivered purses with very distinct looks. The Lotto [...]
- Rafe Totengco Named Nine West Handbag Creative Director | Filipino Designer's New Role - 2011-01-05 02:05:05-05
New York based Filipino designer Rafe Totengco was recently named the new creative director of Nine West's handbag division. His name should be familiar to BagBunch readers, as he's the brains behind the Rafe accessories line, a collection which is sold in more than 60 stores worldwide, and a favorite of celebs like Cameron Diaz, Lindsay [...]
- Inge Christopher Pop Clutch | Vibrant Watercolor Satin Purse - 2011-01-05 03:05:06-05
Inge Christopher typically produces beaded bags which hearken back to the classic days of fashion. While they're lovely, it's refreshing to see the label embracing a more modern look with this Pop clutch. There are three different Pops to choose from, each one with the stuff to really attract attention. This multicolored version is my favorite, [...]
- Quote Couture's New Tote Bags | Inspirational Clothing Brand Makes Eco-Friendly Organic Canvas Bags - 2011-01-05 04:05:52-05
Inspirational apparel brand Quote Couture is taking its uplifting verses to tote bags. The label's new accessory collection features brightly colored canvas bags emblazoned with inspiring quotations. "One of my personal favorites for 2011 is 'Fortune favors the bold,' by Virgil," gushed Quote Couture's founder, Chamsi Filali. "It's about grabbing every ounce of courage you've got and [...]
- J. Furmani Hard Case Clutch | Affordable Glittery Barrel Purse with Rhinestone Clasp - 2011-01-05 05:05:00-05
J. Furmani gives us dazzling evening looks for less with this classic hard case clutch. This is one of those purses that, from a distance at least, looks like a million dollars. Its hexagonal barrel shape just veers left of center, and it sparkles when it catches the light. It's only when you get closer that [...]
- Kate Spade Swan Lake Purse | Unusual Feathered Scottie Cross-Body - 2011-01-05 11:52:00-05
The name of this Kate Spade clutch suits it, because it does look kind of like someone combined a Scottie dog with a swan. Still, somehow this manages to be pretty cool even with this seemingly inauspicious beginning. There is something about feathers that always manages to look fashion forward and fabulous. Forget the feather boas [...]
- Anya Hindmarch Valerie Glitter Embellished Suede Clutch | Sparkly Midnight Blue Evening Bag - 2011-01-05 18:54:07-05
Anya Hindmarch's feminine, urban designs are making waves in the fashion world. This Valerie clutch is a great example of why her work has become so popular. The material on the Valerie is extravagant and unique. In fact, I've never seen anything like the sparkly, glitter-encrusted suede. The deep, midnight blue color looks fabulous with the [...]
- Proenza Schouler PS1 Medium Linen Satchel | Signature Satchel Gets A Fabulous Linen Makeover - 2011-01-05 21:00:33-05
Proenza Schouler's PS1 bags were released a few years ago and became iconic almost instantly. Their amazingly minimal design has changed very little since its inception, which only goes to show how perfectly right the design was to begin with. This linen update gives the PS1 a preppy, but chic, look. The combination of materials on [...]
- J. Renee Makensy Clutch | Minimalist Beaded Platinum Leather Purse - 2011-01-06 01:05:32-05
J. Renee keeps things uncharacteristically simple with this Makensy clutch. The Makensy is one of J. Renee's most conservative purses, but I think that makes it one of the brand's most versatile choices. Thankfully here conservative isn't code for boring. Its clean, angular shape is really eye-catching, and we're drawn to the beaded panels around the [...]
- Calypso St. Barth for Target | Resort Label Designs Diffusion Department Store Collection - 2011-01-06 02:05:09-05
Calypso St. Barth is the latest label to create a diffusion line for Target. The collection will feature women and children's apparel, handbags and other accessories, and homewares. The affordable range will feature the same relaxed summery style that endeared the label to celebs like Jennifer Aniston and Kate Beckinsale. "Calypso St. Barth is a renowned global [...]
- Jack Georges Josephine Business Tote | Sophisticated Red Leather Lexington Collection Bag - 2011-01-06 03:05:30-05
It's easy to spend a lot of money and energy on flashy designer handbags, but surprisingly few of us think about what we're carrying to the office. The right work bag can make your office wardrobe, and this chic Josephine tote from Jack Georges could be that bag. Like any good business tote, the Josephine has [...]
- Blake Lively Confirmed Face of Chanel | Gossip Girl Star for Mademoiselle Handbag Advertisements - 2011-01-06 04:05:37-05
Chanel has confirmed rumors that Gossip Girl Blake Lively will front its next handbag campaign. The fashion house says the American actress will be the fact of its new Mademoiselle purse line. The label's esteemed creative director Karl Lagerfeld took the photos himself at Chanel's Rue Cambon headquarters. We won't get to see the images until [...]
- Jalda New Look Stacey Clutch | Minimalist Slouchy Leather Purse - 2011-01-06 05:05:59-05
Jalda has taken a relaxed design approach for its New Look Stacey Clutch. At first the differences between the two models might not be apparent, but it's all about the slouch. While the first Stacey had that casual profile, this new mark is even more relaxed. In some ways this unstructured design seems a bit lazy, [...]
- Will Leather Will Weekend Bag | Canvas & Leather Tote - 2011-01-06 10:27:44-05
I find that a lot of the time, weekend bags are either giant behemoths perfect for carrying the kitchen sink, or ugly creations that put practicality way ahead of style. This Will Leather tote bucks both those trends, instead preferring to be a reasonable size and cool with it. The functional canvas of this Will weekend [...]
- Jack Rogers La Boheme Fold-Over Clutch | Appliqued Stitched Leather Purse - 2011-01-06 12:37:54-05
A luxury leather clutch with boho style? The Jack Rogers La Boheme purse is just that. The clue was in the name, I suppose. La Boheme conjors images of a decadent kind of bohemianism, and that is exactly the impression that this fold-over clutch gives. The clever ridged seaming and cute-yet-traditional applique give a sense of [...]
- Burberry Utility Cotton Canvas Weekend Bag | Chic Minimal And Utilitarian Army Green Carryall - 2011-01-06 19:46:45-05
Burberry's usually conservative aesthetic has taken a very downtown turn this season, and this fabulously minimal canvas weekend bag is a great example of how they are able to meld their classic look with something more modern. The green cotton canvas material on this weekender has a great army green color to it that will go [...]
- See By Chloe Patent Leather Sequin Tote | Candy Colored Sequin And Patent Tote - 2011-01-06 22:09:21-05
See by Chloe is one of my favorite diffusion lines. Unlike so many others, the quality is as high as that of the collection, but it's a little bit trendier and flashier. This patent sequin tote is a fabulous way to carry your errands. There's something about white patent leather that is instantly chic. Add to [...]
- Jesselli Couture Lauren Hobo | Floral Applique Gray Velvet Handbag - 2011-01-07 01:05:04-05
It might be a tad egotistical, but I always get a bit excited when I see a handbag that shares my name. This Lauren is too bohemian to suit me down to the ground, but it is a fun example of a hobo bag. Velvet really is a great material for that characteristic hobo slouch, which [...]
- Quirky Otaat Handbags | New Practical White Fabric Purses - 2011-01-07 02:05:30-05
Albert Chu applies the design logic he learned working as an architect to his unusual and functional new handbag label, Otaat. Otaat has four handbags in all, each with their own unique and practical quirks. There's the Oak bag pictured, which is designed like a log carrier for easy access to bulky folders and textbooks. After [...]
- Jessica Jensen Woven Hobo | Gentle Blush Pink Leather Handbag - 2011-01-07 03:05:45-05
Jessica Jensen reminds us that not all hobos are created equal with this woven bag. All too often hobos are hippie boho things that seem to fall slovenly around the body. This Jessica Jensen alternative has a lot more structure than we're used to, which is a very good thing. With just a hint of slouch [...]
- LVMH's Hermes Takeover Blocked | AMF Rules Against Buying Minority Shares - 2011-01-07 04:05:24-05
The French stock market regulator, the AMF, has quashed any suggestions of a LVMH takeover of Hermes International. At the request of the French fashion house, the AMF has ruled that LVMH cannot purchase any shares from small independent shareholders. This will ensure Hermes can group more than half of its capital into a holding company, [...]
- Jessica McClintock Rectangle Clutch | Classic Pleated Purple Satin Frame Purse - 2011-01-07 05:05:16-05
Forget fussy buckles and bows. Jessica McClintock offers clean and classic good looks with this Rectangle Clutch. Ordered pleats add real class to this rectangular shaped satin clutch. It's given even more structure with its polished metal frame. This touch is a throwback to vintage style which definitely suits this traditionally designed clutch. That frame helps the [...]
- LEGO 4-Piece Toy Organizer Tote | Functional Kid-Friendly Toy Bag - 2011-01-07 11:44:18-05
Beautiful handbags are all well and good, but sometimes you need a bag for something other than fashion. Whether for toys, baby bits and pieces or even to carry your dog, there is bound to be the perfect bag out there for your needs. If you are a parent or sibling of a child who is in [...]
- Jessica Simpson Spellbound Tote | Studded Distressed Faux Leather Bordeaux Bag - 2011-01-08 01:05:18-05
Jessica Simpson hopes to bring a little magic into your life with this Spellbound tote. But has it cast a spell on you? This tote has modern looks without the luxury price tag, or luxury materials. The glazed leatherette looks a bit too shiny to ever pass as the real deal, but its distressed finish adds [...]
- Nicole Richie Loves Chanel | Star Has 30 Purses from French Fashion House - 2011-01-08 02:05:21-05
Nicole Richie is easy to envy, with her doting husband, pair of cherubic children, and flourishing fashion career. And now that she's released details of her personal handbag collection, I'm even more jealous! Richie's closet features some 30 Chanel handbags, although the cheeky former reality TV star says that she stole many of them from her [...]
- Jil Sander Madame Frame Bag | Medium White Leather Top Handle Purse - 2011-01-08 03:05:42-05
Ever since Mad Men hit our television screens, I've been inspired to make my wardrobe a little more feminine and ladylike. This Madame Frame Bag has the right amount of vintage style to tempt me. The Madame certainly takes its cues from fashions of yesteryear, but it's much more than a carbon copy of the designs [...]
- Camila Alves' Muxo Handbags | New Tribal Purses Designed by Matthew McConaughey's Wife - 2011-01-08 04:05:22-05
It seems Matthew isn't the only talent in the McConaughey household. The actor's model wife Camila Alves recently held a trunk show to introduce her Muxo handbag line. Don't mistake this collection as the work of yet another celebrity turned designer, or worse yet, the pet project of a bored housewife. Alves began work on the [...]
- Whiting & Davis Leather Ruffle Purse | Asymetrical Flap Clutch in Metal Mesh - 2011-01-08 14:24:29-05
Mmm, metal mesh and ruffled leather. A combination that makes even the toughest bag look positively weedy, at the same time as making pretty purses look kind of dull. OK, so the combination may also be rather over the top, and it certainly won't work for day wear. At the same time, many people will find [...]
- Mulberry Tillie Textured Leather Bag | Fabulous Nude Blush Satchel - 2011-01-08 17:11:23-05
Mulberry has a way of taking their classic aesthetic and making it work with current trends. This Tillie satchel is a great example of how they combine styles in a successful and beautiful way. The pale, blushy nude color of this satchel is remarkable. It's feminine, but it also has a modern appeal. The rose colored [...]
- Jimmy Choo Isola Hobo | Studded Fringed Black Leather Bag - 2011-01-09 01:05:53-05
Jimmy Choo brings a little Western flair to the urban jungle with this Isola Hobo. The Isola reminds me a bit of Cousin It's relative from down South, with its long cascading fringe and star shaped studs. This hobo projects a very distinctive look to be sure, and that's sure to scare many people off. But [...]
- Kipling Sponsors US Figure Skating Championships | Handbag Label Gives Skaters Free Duffel Bags - 2011-01-09 02:05:28-05
Kipling has signed on as exclusive accessories sponsor of the 2011 US Figure Skating Championships, which is great news for the competitors! Every skater will receive a complimentary one-of-a-kind USA Kipling duffel. Fans attending the event, to be held at the Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina from January 22 to 30, won't miss out on the [...]
- JJ Winters Hornback Leather Shoulder Bag | Brown Crocodile Embossed Celebrity Favorite Boho Bag - 2011-01-09 03:05:08-05
Hip young things like Vanessa Hudgens and Hilary Duff love the affordable boho charms of this Hornback Leather Bag. Hornback isn't used by many designers, which is a real shame. It's relatively affordable but also very soft, which makes it perfect for the slouchy silhouette of a boho-styled purse. The crocodile embossing adds some exotic style [...]
- Aldo Eberheart Bow Tote | Affordable and Cute Faux-Leather Purse - 2011-01-09 07:14:38-05
With cute bows and a rusty red shade, there is a lot to make this Aldo handbag worth paying attention to. Bows are always cute, but I find them especially pretty when they are a reasonably small feature. The addition of a layered bow to a large and traditional tote bag, therefore, was always bound to [...]
- Orciani Studded Leather Clutch | Aggressively Pretty Envelope Purse - 2011-01-09 12:01:53-05
Orciani may be a little known brand, but they are certainly making fashion waves with designs like this studded clutch. Whilst normally bags are decorated on the front, Orciani have turned the principle on its head by instead putting the studs on the sides. Not only does this put the soft leather front and center stage, but [...]
- Personalized Prada Purses | Handbag Designer's New Monogram Service - 2011-01-09 23:08:42-05
Prada is the latest luxury label to offer a personalized monogram service. From January 15, customers can have their Prada purses customized with big varsity-style letters. The brightly colored lettering doesn't look very high class, but it is high quality. Each initial is made from Prada's iconic saffiano leather. The monograms can be applied to any [...]
- Joe's Jeans Joseph Bucket Bag | Casual Rounded Black Lambskin Leather Handbag - 2011-01-10 01:05:29-05
Joe's Jeans is one of those rare handbag designers that rarely seems to put a fashionable foot wrong. The Joseph is another example of the label's commitment to excellent everyday accessories. The Joseph ignores the current trends, preferring instead to offer a more timeless appeal. It's a bit more rounded than your average bucket, and its [...]
- Dannii Minogue's Favorite Handbag | Anya Hindmarch Ebury Charms "The X Factor" Judge - 2011-01-10 02:05:59-05
The X Factor's Dannii Minogue probably has plenty of enviable possessions, but there's none she loves as much as her black Anya Hindmarch Ebury bag. The purse was a gift from her famous singing sister Kylie, who even left a personalized message inside. "I have a treasured Anya Hindmarch Ebury bag, which my sister gave me. It [...]
- Judith Leiber Chatelaine Minaudiere | Elegant Crystal Leopard Print Clutch - 2011-01-10 03:05:59-05
Few designers divide opinion on BagBunch as much as Judith Leiber. Her minaudieres are extravagant, luxurious, quirky, and often downright ridiculous. But I think she may have hit on a winner with the Chatelaine. There's nothing subtle about this leopard printed, crystal encrusted purse, but nor should this be. No one carries Judith Leiber if they [...]
- Katie Price Sells Paper Shopping Bags | Overpriced Shoppers from British Star - 2011-01-10 04:05:11-05
Katie Price, the British celebrity otherwise known as Jordan, has launched a new horse-focused fashion line called KP Equestrian. Amongst the items on offer, the collection features two different shopping bags. Customers can choose the KP Baby Carrier bag, made from stiff pink paper with ribbon handles, or the KP Equestrian Carrier Bag, which is made [...]
- Juicy Couture For Nice Girls Canvas Tote | Gray Cotton Slogan Handbag - 2011-01-10 05:05:54-05
Juicy Couture has always been known for bold, brash designs, and this in your face tote For Nice Girls tote is a prime example of the way it got that reputation. This tote proudly proclaims that Juicy Couture is "for nice girls who like stuff." Something tells me that nice girls would prefer something more subdued [...]
- Mary Frances Accessories Ocean Drive Clutch | Ornate Beaded Handheld Bag - 2011-01-10 09:58:04-05
Soft, slouchy and utterly divine, this is one clutch that just begs to be clutched! Whilst many Mary Frances handbags can be too over-the-top, I think the Ocean Drive clutch manages to stay just the right side of decadent. The dramatic tribal beading and stunning pattern mean it is certainly fancy, but the slouchy shape makes [...]
