- Christian Louboutin Morrigan Small Studded Snake Effect Leather Bag | Smart And Bright Exotic Handbag - 2011-01-31 13:04:22-05
Christian Louboutin has been adding a host of edgy design elements to his normally smooth and sophisticated line. I've mostly been a fan of these additions, but this new snake print version of the Morrigan leaves a little to be desired in terms of style. The snake print on the Morrigan is only okay. Actually, I [...]
- Gucci GG Running Tote | Conservative Ladylike Black Leather Carryall - 2011-01-31 14:25:24-05
Gucci is back this season in a major way. Only they don't seem to have some new revolutionary design sense. Actually, it seems like a replay of greatest hits from their glory days as a conservative luxury icon. This GG Running tote is perfectly chic, but a little on the ho-hum side. The super smooth texture [...]
- Gorjana Hudson Quilted Clutch | Coral Studded Leather Purse - 2011-01-31 15:45:08-05
Coral was THE big color of last season, but has rather been ignored in the current catwalks. It is a shame, as this color is unusual and dramatic, and actually this Gorjana clutch would work well with all the new trends. Those trends include brocade, and other luxury themes. The quilted front section of this coral red clutch helps [...]
- Reed Krakoff Grommet Cadet II Leather Bag | Summery Chalk White Leather Satchel - 2011-01-31 16:00:52-05
When I first found out about Reed Krakoff's new line, I honestly wasn't expecting much. Yes, I know that I'm the only one, but I'm just not that big a fan of Coach, and I sort of imagined a line full of brown, logo-covered bags. I was wrong, and the Grommet Cadet II is a [...]
- Jimmy Choo Bree Snakeskin Trimmed Leather Bag | Strappy Pastel Pink Hobo - 2011-01-31 20:00:34-05
Spring and summer styles are, like the warmer weather, slowly drifting in. Jimmy Choo's preppy sophistication looks perfect on this pastel pink leather version of the edgy Bree bag. Pastels seem to be making a comeback this season. I guess I shouldn't really surprise. Where neons go, pastels are sure to follow. The delicate color of [...]
- See By Chloe Poya Vintage Leather Satchel | Leather Lace Trimmed Brown Leather Carryall - 2011-01-31 22:00:13-05
See By Chloe is one of the most interesting diffusion lines out there. The prices are more affordable than the Chloe collection, and the aesthetic is decidedly younger and hipper, but it's certainly no less amazing. This Poya satchel is a boho dream with a little added frill. This very medium brown leather is so hot [...]
- Nicole Miller Margot Clutch | Edgy Black Chain Embellished Purse - 2011-02-01 01:05:27-05
I've seen many chain clutches in my time, but none quite like this Margot clutch from Nicole Miller! Rather than using chains for a shoulder strap, Nicole Miller decorates with the metal. I'm not sure I completely embrace the design, as it seems a bit messy, but it's certainly original. Tulle is a great foil for [...]
- Simon Nessman & Karmen Pedaru in Michael Kors Ad | Handbag Designer's New Spring/Summer 2011 Advertisements - 2011-02-01 02:05:07-05
Simon Nessman and Karmen Pedaru steam up the latest advertising campaign for Michael Kors. The ads show the model pair looking very chummy indeed as they ride across California on a shared scooter and lounge about under that West Coast sun. Bright whites dominate the apparel collection, while the accessories feature the camel leather we've seen [...]
- Nina Ricci Tiered Evening Bag | Pink Silk Ruffled Purse - 2011-02-01 03:05:27-05
Evening bags tend to be sleek, chic affairs, so it's refreshing to see Nina Ricci dirty things up with this Tiered purse. This clutch may be a bit rough around the edges, but I think that only adds to its charms. The exposed ruffles take some of the heat away from the hot pink leather, making [...]
- Hermes Sues Thursday Friday | Birkin on New Together Tote Angers Fashion House - 2011-02-01 04:05:57-05
Hermes has sued Thursday Friday for using the image of the iconic Birkin bag on its cheeky canvas New Together Bag. We smelled this lawsuit coming a mile away, but it's still a bit sad to see Hermes chasing after such a small-time operator. "Hermes created, manufactures and sells the iconic "Birkin" handbag. Through enormous sales, publicity [...]
- Nine West Innovation Messenger Bag | Rounded Red Synthetic Flap Purse - 2011-02-01 05:05:39-05
Nine West shakes up the popular messenger style with this Innovation bag. This messenger has an appealing rounded off shape, which is much more feminine than most bags of this ilk. This unusual silhouette helps to temper the messenger's typically utilitarian appearance, making it appear less masculine and much more fun. In leather this bag would have [...]
- Hello Kitty I Love Nerds iPad Case | Quirky and Cute Case For Tech Lovers - 2011-02-01 08:06:44-05
Do you love nerds? If so, then this fun and not-a-little-silly iPad case may well be made for you! With the dawn of the tablet computer (computer?! phone?! notepad?!), the world of laptops and technology carry cases has been kind of thrown up in the air. The handbag world needed to invent a perfectly Apple-sized container [...]
- Brahmin Medium Alden Tote | Black Leather Croc Trim Purse - 2011-02-01 14:25:53-05
Some bags aren't wild, or original, or even that exciting. Instead, they are simple plain bags for people who need normal, functional everyday carrying. The Alden by Brahmin is one such bag. However, please don't think of this as a negative - as beautiful as some fashion handbags can be, everyone needs a practical purse to [...]
- See By Chloe Yate Leather Bowling Bag | Hip And Affordable Black Bowler - 2011-02-01 16:43:56-05
See by Chloe is having a really impressive season. The line is hip, youthful, feminine, and a little edgy. This Yate bowling bag is one of the coolest and most affordable bags I've seen all season. The black leather on the Yate is subtle, but interesting. It has a softly pebbled texture, and the white overstitching [...]
- Jimmy Choo Rosabel Grained Leather Tote | Chic And Cheerful Red Carryall - 2011-02-01 21:00:00-05
Jimmy Choo is hot on the tail of the warmer weather. They're bringing out those spring and summer styles quicker than you can say "warm front", and you know what? I think it's actually make me feel a little warmer. This Rosabel tote isn't only for the fairer months, but it sure is red hot. It [...]
- O'Neill Nocturnal Shoulder Bag | Chain-Mail Detailed Black Drawstring Handbag - 2011-02-02 01:05:27-05
Once upon a time O'Neill delivered beach bag after beach bag. These days though the surf brand delivers accessories that are wearable all year round. This Nocturnal shoulder bag is a great example of the label's dressed up new aesthetic. Drawstring bags are typically relaxed affairs, but this one is dressed up a little with the [...]
- Emmy Rossum's New Handbag for Eli Tahari | Actress Turns Bag Designer - 2011-02-02 02:05:36-05
Actress Emmy Rossum has designed a leather bucket bag for stylish fashion house Elie Tahari. The collaboration may seem like it's come out of the blue, but Tahari has styled Rossum for years. She told him how difficult it was to find the ideal handbag, so he told her to create one! The result is a large [...]
- Oroton Chevron Mini Bag | Futuristic Art Deco Round Suede Purse - 2011-02-02 03:05:05-05
Vintage art deco meets high tech fashion with this unique Chevron mini bag from Australian luxury label Oroton. I've never seen anything quite like this purse, and when you look at as many bags as I do that's saying something. The metal details have an art deco flair to them, but they also feel a bit [...]
- Sir Tom Hemp Purses | Eco-Friendly Woven Australian Clutches - 2011-02-02 04:05:27-05
Aussie brand Sir Tom has harnessed the eco-friendly powers of hemp for its green accessories line There are pure hemp and hemp blend clutches in the range, that designer Anne Waters named after a street in her Bondi Beach neighborhood. Each one is free from THC, so you need not worry about those nasty chemicals. Anne Waters [...]
- Oryany Gwen Convertible Tote | Black Sequined Carryall Bag - 2011-02-02 05:05:13-05
Add a little glitz to your everyday with this Gwen convertible tote bag from Oryany. Notice that I said a little glitz though. While sequined material is never shy or retiring, in basic black it doesn't appear ostentatious. There's a brown version as well, but this one doesn't rev me. The dark leather trim contrasts too [...]
- Timmy Woods Garbo Clutch | Beaded Straw Curl Purse - 2011-02-02 08:43:42-05
It is always strange to see a Timmy Woods bags that isn't a novelty, and even more so to see one that is affordable too! Priced at just $65, the Garbo clutch is definitely at the affordable end of the handbag market. However, this doesn't mean that it is dull. In fact, almost as if to make up [...]
- Pacsafe MetroSafe 200 Shoulder Bag | Green Nylon Anti-Theft Handbag - 2011-02-03 01:05:28-05
City streets can be dangerous places, but you needn't worry about the dangers when you're carrying the anti-theft MetroSafe 200 shoulder bag. Pacsafe has released several Metrosafe bags, but I think this 200 model may be the pick of them. It's not so small that you'll struggle to fit the items you need inside, but it's [...]
- Brandina Launches at Grammy Awards | Italian Bags Available in United States - 2011-02-03 02:05:12-05
Presenters and performers at this year's Grammy Awards will receive Brandina handbags, as part of the Italian label's official launch in the United States. I'm sure that confirmed presenters Lady Gaga, Miranda Lambert, and Katy Perry can't wait to get their hands on these casual purses, which were inspired by the relaxed style of the Italian [...]
- Paul Smith Jasper Cross-Body Bag | Vintage Swirl Framed Purse - 2011-02-03 03:05:03-05
It might be a new season purse, but with the Jasper Paul Smith revisits the designs we know and love. You might remember me complaining about the very dull Trixie bag a couple of months ago. I longed for the color Paul Smith is famous for, and perhaps he listened. The Jasper is covered with the [...]
- Helmut Lang Releases Handbags | Real-Life Couple Makes Fish Bags - 2011-02-03 04:05:41-05
It's been a long time coming, but Helmut Lang is finally releasing a range of handbags. It's Helmut Lang's first collection of purses since designers and real-life husband and wife Michael and Nicole Colovos took the reins in 2006. "We developed all new hardware and looked at bones and bird claws for inspiration and used hints [...]
- 3.1 by Phillip Lim Convertible Clutch | Chic White Leather Purse - 2011-02-03 05:05:48-05
This convertible clutch from Phillip Lim proves the old adage than the simplest things in life are often the best. I'm not sure why I'm so bowled over by this antique white leather purse, but its simplicity has wowed me. The clean lines are so chic and sophisticated, and the dainty silver clasp stunning. The exterior is [...]
- Kooba Montana Eyelet Tote | Luxury Leather Purse with Grommets - 2011-02-03 08:16:28-05
Stylish lines and grommets to boot? The Kooba Montana tote has me sold! OK, OK, so grommets are generally a winner for me. However, there is a fine line between using punk eyelets to make an impact, and going over the top and looking ridiculous! Thankfully this peachy pink leather bag manages to do it well, [...]
- MICHAEL Michael Kors Berkley Snake Effect Leather Clutch | Fabulous Affordable Evening Bag - 2011-02-03 15:06:00-05
MICHAEL by Michael Kors does exactly what a diffusion line is supposed to do. It produces fashionable interpretations of the trends and makes them available at an accessible price point. This Berkley snake effect clutch looks exotic and expensive, but is actually totally affordable. I've always loved the way that the MICHAEL line does snake print. [...]
- Co-Lab by Christopher Kon Plexi Satchel | Neoprene Tech Fabric Purse - 2011-02-03 16:03:09-05
Handbags go hi-tech with this Co-Lab by Christopher Kon tote. We are used to leather-look handbags that are actually made out of something like vinyl. However, I doubt many of us have come across a purse like the Plexi, which is made out of Neoprene. What is Neoprene, I hear you ask? Well, in essence it is a durable synthetic [...]
- Alexander Wang Kirsten Multi-Strap Suede Tote | Edgy But Posh Grey Suede Carryall - 2011-02-03 18:00:47-05
Alexander Wang's sharp, urban styles are putting the hip back into hipster. Seriously, he has the market cornered on edgy bohemianism. This Kirsten bag is destined to become one of this season's instant classics. One of the most interesting things about the Kirsten, right off the bat, is the way that it combines textures. The grey [...]
- Alexander Wang Lia Sling Studded Leather Messenger Bag | Edgy Minimal Black Leather Messenger - 2011-02-04 00:00:42-05
Alexander Wang's new bags have hit shelves this week, and I am totally freaking out about it. Yes, I am a bit of a fan, but even if you aren't, you might find yourself drawn in by his sophisticated, cutting edge aesthetic. This Lia messenger is a gorgeous low key to Wang's line of iconic [...]
- Pink Studio Nepal Mini Bag | Affordable Compact Black Purse - 2011-02-04 01:05:23-05
Pink Studio proves that the best things often come in small packages with this stylish Nepal mini bag. It's called a mini, but it's not as delicate as so many bags with this title. Its boxy, compact shape seems more sturdy and rugged, giving the impression that the Nepal is a purse that punches well above [...]
- Militaryhandbag.com's Uniform Handbags | Military Fatigues Become Precious Purses - 2011-02-04 02:05:54-05
Living with a loved one serving overseas is never easy, but Militaryhandbag.com looks to make that time apart hurt a little less. Fashion designer Eve Baum makes unique handbags from the military uniforms of our troops. The one-of-a-kind items serve as poignant reminders of beloved servicemen and women, whether they're currently serving, happily home, or no [...]
- Prada Rete Clutch | Retro Beige Designer Macrame Purse - 2011-02-04 03:05:34-05
Prada goes back to the fashion vault for this retro Rete clutch. It takes a brave designer to use a material like macramé. While it was all the rage in the early 70s, it hasn't really been popular since. The knotted material could so easily have appeared like a kitschy fashion throwback, but I think Prada [...]
- Anya Hindmarch Toco Raffia Clutch | Fun Summer Striped Bag - 2011-02-04 04:00:46-05
Anya Hindmarch has come a long way in the past few seasons. For a while, I was doubtful that she had much going on as a designer, but she seems to be developing a quirky, feminine style that I'm growing to like. This Toco clutch is the most cheerful bag I've seen in months, and [...]
- Accessory Network Group Buys Kooba | ANG Expands Handbag Holdings - 2011-02-04 04:05:26-05
Kooba has been snapped up by Accessory Network Group, the company that oversees other handbag labels like Nicole Miller, LeSportsac, and Bisou Bisou. The group bought Kooba from Swander Pace Capital, who acquired the label in 2007, for an undisclosed sum. "We are very excited about adding this iconic luxury handbag brand to our growing handbag [...]
- Prezzo Multi Sequin Hobo | Glitzy Pink Sequined Handbag - 2011-02-04 05:05:49-05
I've seen some glitzy handbags from Prezzo, but this Multi Sequin Hobo really takes the cake. I know many of you are retching at the sight of this sugary pink purse, but bear with me. It might be a bit over the top, but I can't fault its craftsmanship. Tiny sequins create undulated waves near the [...]
- Turtle Shaped Novelty Leather Wristlet | Cute and Unusual Purse - 2011-02-04 11:18:08-05
Turtles. Is there anything better for cheering you up on a long and miserable Friday afternoon?! OK, so turtles aren't a particularly well known anti-depressant, but I think they should be. After all, who could deny the fact that there is something wildly happy about this silly little wristlet? It may not be serious (or even particularly functional!), [...]
- Jimmy Choo Rosalie Stamped Leather Bag | Posh But Unexciting Light Brown Bag - 2011-02-04 22:22:16-05
Jimmy Choo is the unofficial prince of posh urban style. He has sort of a pared down bohemian aesthetic that works well for more conservative women. This Rosalie bag, unfortunately, looks too much like the iconic Hermes Birkin for me to think it's very interesting. The soft brown leather on the Rosalie is well-chosen. It's pale, [...]
- Yves Saint Laurent Y Cork And Patent Leather Clutch | Amazing Iconic Cork Clutch - 2011-02-05 00:00:30-05
Yves Saint Laurent is one of the most long-standing French fashion houses. They've definitely had their ups and downs over the years, but for the most part, the YSL name has remained relatively synonymous with chic glamour. This Y cork and leather clutch is a great example of the line's signature combination of innovation and [...]
- Proenza Schouler Mochila Satchel | Simple Red Patterned Fabric Holdall - 2011-02-05 01:05:27-05
Proenza Schouler does the utilitarian look well, but in time all of its handbags start to appear the same. So I'm thrilled to see the label step out of the box with this Mochila satchel. Don't get me wrong; this patterned bag doesn't hold a candle to all those PS1s we've drooled over for so many [...]
- Diane Kruger No Designer Diva | Star Waited Six Year for Hermes Bag - 2011-02-05 02:05:34-05
Most of us envy the celebrities, and their bank accounts that allow them to pick up the handbags we're all coveting. But it seems that not every star is splashing cash around on It bags. Actress Diane Kruger recently admitted it took her six years to make her first big purchase! The Hermes Constance bag was [...]
- Puma Ice Satchel | Puffy Black Casual Synthetic Handbag - 2011-02-05 03:05:02-05
Ever since the first summer accessories started to trickle into the fashion magazines, we've been looking forward to warmer weather. The snow storms blanketing much of the United States don't help matters either. But it seems that winter has well and truly set in, so we might as well embrace it. Puma helps us do [...]
- Devi Kroell Prepares Dax Gabler Line | Designer's Affordable New Collection - 2011-02-05 04:05:59-05
Devi Kroell's not letting the grass grow around her feet. After stepping down as creative director of her namesake company last year, Kroell has announced a brand new, and more affordable, label. The proud New Yorker will launch her new Dax Gabler line at the Big Apple's fashion week on February 16. Dax Gabler will sell [...]
- Radley Canning Town Tote | Small Coral Red Leather Grab Bag - 2011-02-06 21:46:04-05
As winter gives way to spring, I'm looking to ditch my bright red leather bag for something more seasonal. This coral colored Canning Town tote from Radley may be just what I'm looking for. That sweet shade saves the Canning Town from being passed over. It's such a classic bag, with an otherwise unremarkable design. It's [...]
- Two Lips' New Purses | Footwear Label Does Handbags & Tech Accessories - 2011-02-06 22:06:09-05
Footwear label Two Lips has recently added a range of handbags and technology accessories to its fashion collection. There are 12 different handbags available in a range of different fabrics. Sequins and eye-catching hardware help to give these purses a "sexy, feminine slant" according to Teri Santella, the president of Two Lips licensee Pacific Group. The handbags [...]
- Rafe Jordana Tote | Modern Purple Pleated Belt Bag - 2011-02-06 22:53:24-05
Rafe updates the tote bag for the 21st century with the Jordana. Once upon a time, totes were simple, boxy creatures. The Jordana is a world away from this kind of bag, with tight pleats, a buckled belt, and eye-popping gold stitching creating volume and drama. There's so much going on here, but in deep brown-purple [...]
- Matthew Campbell's Handbags | Jewelry Designer's New M.C.L Clutch Collection - 2011-02-06 23:18:51-05
Matthew Campbell showed us he has an eye for the finer things with his colorful jewelry line, and now he's putting those skills to good use with a handbag collection. We can count on that same vibrant energy and superb craftsmanship with the M.C.L. by Matthew Campbell Laurenza purses. The clutch bags offer the blend of [...]
- Lauren by Ralph Lauren Newbury Tote Bag | Classic Orange Saffiano Leather Handbag - 2011-02-07 01:05:51-05
Ralph Lauren goes back to basics with this Newbury tote bag. What this tote lacks in cutting edge style it makes up for in sophistication. The shape is familiar and its clean, uncluttered lines compelling. I love the unique texture and color of the leather, and the embossed crest in a classy way of branding it. [...]
- Comme des Garcons' New 69 Bags | Rei Kawakubo Reinvents Classic Paco Rabanne Purses - 2011-02-07 02:05:30-05
Comme des Garcons' creative director Rei Kawakubo has teamed up with Paco Rabanne to relaunch the 69 chain mail bag made famous by Rabanne's label in the swinging sixties. The original handbag was named one of the 50 Bags that Changed the World by Design Museum of London. It's a legacy that has outlived Paco Rebanne's [...]
- Rampage Krista Shoulder Bag | Pleated Pink Synthetic Handbag - 2011-02-07 03:05:38-05
Add a pop of color to your winter wardrobe with this fun Krista shoulder bag from Rampage. Various textures and skins help to break up this enormous shoulder bag. The front and back feature casual vertical pleats, bordered by shiny patent swatches. None of these materials are real leather, but that's not unexpected at this price [...]
