New at BagBunch: Alaia Perforated Leather Basket Tote | Sophisticated Black Designer Bag

Hi mary,

Check out the latest handbag fashion news and review at BagBunch.com:
  1. Alaia Perforated Leather Basket Tote | Sophisticated Black Designer Bag - 2011-04-05 00:35:50-04
    Alaia gives the traditional basket tote a chic makeover with perforated leather! The shape and style of this tote reminds me of the kind of bags I filled with flowers as a child. However no bag from my youth was quite this luxurious! While my childhood purses were made of raffia and wicker, this one is [...]
  2. Aldo Cyphert Satchel | Budget Chic Inspired Synthetic Ladylike Tassels Handbag - 2011-04-05 02:05:05-04
    Aldo offers an affordable alternative to a Hermes bag with this Cyphert satchel. While it's not a carbon copy, I can't help thinking of the Kelly bag when I see the Cyphert. It's very structured and ladylike, with clean, crisp lines. The front tassels help to soften the satchel's visage just a tad, but with their [...]
  3. Marni Makes Eco-Friendly Accessories from Recycled Plastic | Innovative Tote for Runway to Green Project - 2011-04-05 03:05:20-04
    Marni is turning trash into treasure in its quirky new capsule collection. The Italian fashion house has released a tote bag, hat, and bib necklace embellished with recycled plastic rosettes. The small eco-conscious collection is part of Runway to Green, an initiative which challenges high-end designers to create apparel and accessories from eco-friendly products. I'm sure [...]
  4. Alexander McQueen Samurai Skull Clutch | Oriental Silk-Satin Box Purse - 2011-04-05 04:05:56-04
    Many designers have released bags lately to raise funds for charities helping Japan rebuild following the devastating earthquakes and tsunami. These initiatives are certainly worth supporting, but I wonder why the accessories are all so cheap and cheerful. If you're looking for a more glamorous way to show your solidarity, this Alexander McQueen Samurai Skull [...]
  5. Nancy Gonzalez Releases Exclusive Leaf Totes | Bergdorf Goodman New York Sells Unique Crocodile Bags - 2011-04-05 05:05:11-04
    New Yorkers can meet Nancy Gonzalez when she unveils an exclusive selection of her famous Leaf Totes at Bergdorf Goodman's 5th Avenue New York store tomorrow, April 6. The Colombian designer will appear between 1 and 3 pm, although the collection will be available to view until 5 that day, and between 1 and 5 [...]
  6. Alexander Wang Tai Box Bag | Black Leather Retro Handbag - 2011-04-05 06:05:19-04
    There are box bags, and then there is the Tai bag from Alexander Wang. It doesn't just have a square structured shape. It actually looks like a box! This is a really clever accessory. Wang has tapped into that structured, retro styling that's become so popular since Mad Men hit our television screens, but he's reinterpreted [...]
  7. BCBGeneration Sequin Tina Minaudiere | Multi-Toned and Dramatic Metallic Evening Bag - 2011-04-05 15:49:45-04
    If bright colors and garish shades are too much for you, then you could be forgiven for assuming that you were out of luck when it came to looking for an eye-catching evening bag. In with the Tina clutch, then, to prove this isn't the case. After all, there are no bright colors in this sequin [...]
  8. Traditional Bally Redgrave Tote | Leather and Canvas Luxury Handbag - 2011-04-05 16:46:14-04
    I am always shocked when Bally makes a handbag that isn't all leather - but when they come up with designs like this fabulous Redgrave I can't really complain! The main word for a painfully expensive bag like this? Classic. From the square handle, to the deep blue contrasting against the plain canvas. From the neat buckles and [...]
  9. Alexis Hudson Maddie Shoulder Bag | Retro Square Mini Gunmetal Leather Purse - 2011-04-06 02:05:07-04
    Alexis Hudson channels the glamour of the 1950s with this elegant Maddie shoulder bag. I can just imagine the secretaries in Mad Men carrying this darling mini purse to the office, and then to the bar for after work cocktails. That gunmetal leather is glamorous but not as glitzy as a silver or platinum. It's such [...]
  10. Hammitt Designs True Blood Bags | Vampire TV Series Leather Purses - 2011-04-06 03:05:35-04
    A handbag collection designed to celebrate a television show doesn't sound too promising on paper, but as always the devil's in the details. Cult HBO series True Blood isn't just any TV series, and Hammitt is no ordinary fashion house. Hammitt isn't a household name, but the label's got a real following amongst fashion forward celebrities [...]
  11. Alla Leather Art Goldy Tote | Simple Caramel Leather Handbag - 2011-04-06 04:05:34-04
    Alla Leather Art has quickly become one of my favorite handbag labels, but I'm a bit disappointed in the Goldy. It's refreshing to find a tote so clean and simple, but has the label played it too safe? The curved base and asymmetrical handles give the Goldy a quirky artistic feel, but other than that this [...]
  12. Mariasole Cecchi's Quirky Lego Toy Purses | New Le Petit Joueurs Handbags - 2011-04-06 05:05:32-04
    Most of us would say there's no place for children's toys in the world of high fashion, but Italian designer Mariasole Cecchi would disagree. She's just released Le Petit Joueurs, a range of high end purses decorated with Lego blocks! The collection's name means little players, a clever nod to its whimsical toy accents. The colorful [...]
  13. American West Over the Rainbow Tote | Zip Top Hand-Tooled Western Handbag - 2011-04-06 06:05:53-04
    I've always admired American West's intricate hand-tooling, but all too often the label's purses are too country and western for this city slicker. But I think the label's got the balance right with the Over the Rainbow tote. Without the hair calf, clashing colors, and fringing that American West is so fond of, we can properly [...]
  14. Lodis Belize Logan Hobo | Seventies Inspired Patterned Tote - 2011-04-06 08:25:44-04
    Thanks to the seventies inspiration that flounced and strutted its stuff down the catwalks recently, we are seeing a lot of handbags with a little hint of a 70s fashion vibe. Whilst the temptation is to go for garish colours and psychedelic floral patterns, the clever designers (like Lodis) have opted for something a bit smarter. They have kept with the palette of browns [...]
  15. Gucci Python Shoulder Bag | Classic Ornate Green Exotic Bag - 2011-04-06 20:20:02-04
    Gucci is one of those household name sorts of lines. Although it has gone through many changes in the past few decades, I love when it revisits their classic, equestrian-inspired aesthetic. Especially when it adds contemporary new twists, as it's done on this gorgeous python shoulder bag. The deep, rich green color on this bag is [...]
  16. Lanvin Lovely Leopold Leather Tote | Essential Black Flap Front Carryall - 2011-04-06 22:00:25-04
    Lanvin has an extraordinarily intuitive design sensibility. The line seems uniquely able to make minimalism accessible to the masses. This Lovely Leopold tote is a fabulous example of their take on classic contemporary accessories. The textured and slightly weathered leather on the Leopold is soft and supple enough to give this very structured design a casual [...]
  17. Anne Klein Star Studded Satchel | Metallic Leopard Print Polyurethane Handbag - 2011-04-07 02:05:13-04
    Anne Klein walks on the wild side with this Star Studded satchel. This is the kind of purse that might just be too much. It's called Star Studded, but its metal hardware almost gets lost in those leopard spots. Animal prints are always striking, but in case we missed it Anne Klein has put metallic sparkle [...]
  18. Daryl K Adds Accessories | New Handbags & Ankle Boots for Spring - 2011-04-07 03:05:47-04
    Daryl K has added accessories to its contemporary fashion line for spring 2011. The label is starting small, with just two bags and two ankle boots. The cutely named Jeanius is a large nappa leather tote, which sells for $695. The Shackleton is a more luxe option at $895. I'm not sure I see an additional [...]
  19. Antik Batik Oslo Tote | Metal Beaded Black Leather Handbag - 2011-04-07 04:05:09-04
    Antik Batik brings some edge to the traditional tote with the Oslo. I thought I'd seen all the tricks to create rock and roll atmosphere, but Antik Batik takes an original path. There are no studs or grommets, just a smattering of delicate metal beads. These tiny square accents are clustered around the base, but applied [...]
  20. Customizable Handbags from Cambardi | Luxury Personalized Purses & Luggage - 2011-04-07 05:05:28-04
    Italian leather label Cambardi is back in business, with a collection of handbags and jewelry added to its regular luggage line. If you like to stand out in a crowd, you'll be happy to know that all the purses can be completely customized. Cambardi will make them in any size, and in virtually any color or [...]
  21. Anuschka Drawstring Shoulder Bag | Hand Painted Floral Leather Purse - 2011-04-07 06:05:04-04
    When I heard Anuschka had created a drawstring bag, I was nervous. How would the label's hand painted works of art fare once they were puckered up with a drawstring? The answer is, remarkably well. Anuschka has carefully chosen abstract designs so they're not disfigured too much by the soft pleating. This shoulder bag is also [...]
  22. Mary Frances Accessories Fetch Clutch | Absurd Novelty Beaded Dog Bag - 2011-04-07 10:30:44-04
    Excuse the pun, but Mary Frances has really taken the biscuit with the doggy-themed Fetch clutch. I know there are a lot of doggy people out there. People who love their pup more than life itself, who take part in dog shows and spend half the week giving their pampered pooches baths. They may even have an urge to dress [...]
  23. Pietro Alessandro Leather Tote | Contrasting Pattern and Snakeskin Handbag - 2011-04-07 16:59:42-04
    Why have just one pattern or texture on a handbag, when you can have three of each?! The first texture is at the base of this Pietro Alessandro tote, and is that glossy patent leather. The shiny fabric also offers the first pattern, that fine snakeskin esque print. The second pattern is a little more abstract, [...]
  24. Anya Hindmarch Bonita Bag | Vintage Inspired Leather Turn-Lock Purse - 2011-04-08 02:05:25-04
    I'm never quite sure what I'm going to get with Anya Hindmarch. She might deliver a kitschy overpriced canvas tote, or she might offer a stylish little leather number. While those canvas bags are starting to bore me, this Bonita purse has made me sit up and take notice. In a more reserved shade I might [...]
  25. Indiana Abandon Nutria Monroe Satchel Bag | Oscar Perez's Ethical Fur Purse - 2011-04-08 03:05:08-04
    We've all learned that using real fur is unethical, but Oscar Perez, designer for Indiana Abandon, is attempting to challenge those assumptions. He uses nutria fur in this stylish Monroe satchel. The nutria is a rodent responsible for widespread damage to wetland areas in south-east Louisiana. Hunters are rewarded with a bounty for the tails of [...]
  26. Ashley M Mag Fashion Clutch | Wooden Ring Accent Perforated Synthetic Purse - 2011-04-08 04:05:23-04
    I'd almost written Ashley M off as a fashion line. It seemed like the label was incapable of creating anything I took too seriously. And then it released the Mag Fashion clutch. What a change of pace this purse is. There are no pop culture figures covering it, no sequins or bows. It's a dramatic departure [...]
  27. Tommy Hilfiger Releases New Limited Edition Breast Health International Bag | Renee Zellwegger Promoted Cancer Charity Purse - 2011-04-08 05:05:44-04
    Breast Cancer Awareness Month is several months away, but Tommy Hilfiger is getting in early to do his part with the launch of a new limited edition bag. The handbag is Tommy Hilfiger's fifth released to help Breast Health International, a global charity committed to finding a cure for the prevalent cancer. Since becoming involved [...]
  28. B Makowsky Barbara Cross-Body Purse | Grommet Decorated Stone Leather Flap Bag - 2011-04-08 06:05:26-04
    With most of the fashion world starting to show signs of stud fatigue, designers are on the look-out for the next big thing. Early indications are the grommets might just take the title. B. Makowsky uses the cute metal eyelets to great effect on this Barbara cross-body purse. This is just one of the many Barbara [...]
  29. BCBG Max Azria Disco Mesh Clutch | Mirrored Metallic Evening Bag - 2011-04-08 10:18:55-04
    The shape may not be original, but this BCBG Max Azria disco clutch is still very pretty. There are some designs that designers manage to get away with, even though they look like handbags that have been put together before. The thing is that a elongated mirrored clutch like this will always look smart with evening outfits (whether formal or [...]
  30. Baby Phat Faux Python Diaper Bag | Affordable Large Snake Print PVC Baby Handbag - 2011-04-09 02:05:59-04
    Baby Phat fans needn't abandon their fierce sense of style once little ones arrive, thanks to this faux python diaper bag. I can't imagine any label but Baby Phat creating this baby bag. Its gray snake print finish is pure Baby Phat. Frankly I think it looks a bit cheap and nasty, especially in PVC, but [...]
  31. FEED Projects New Japan Tote | Organic Cotton Earthquake Charity Flag Bag - 2011-04-09 03:05:44-04
    Lauren Bush's FEED Projects is the latest fashion house to dig deep for Japan, following the country's massive earthquake and the tsunami that followed. The altruistic label has created this FEED Japan bag to raise funds for relief efforts. Organic cotton makes the ideal backdrop for the bright red circle of the Japanese flag on one [...]
  32. Badgley Mischka Melissa Clutch | Black Leather Turn-Lock Purse - 2011-04-09 04:05:28-04
    Badgley Mischka downsizes its Melissa tote for this elegant clutch purse. The wooden turn-lock we loved on the tote is used again here, and I'm glad to see its return. On a much smaller canvas we can really focus on this unique clasp. The rest of the Melissa seems to be built around it, almost as [...]
  33. Carolina Manzo's New Charity Purses | Real Housewife Makes Kristino Handbags - 2011-04-09 05:05:26-04
    Reality TV star Caroline Manzo of The Real Housewives of New Jersey has teamed up with Kristino Handbags to launch her first handbag collection. The Carolina Manzo, Family Faith & Charity Handbags and Accessories Collection looks to cater for fashionistas of all budgets, with luxury leather bags and cheaper PVC alternatives. There are also faux fur [...]
  34. Berge Brezza Convertible Tote | Soft and Feminine Suede and Leather Handbag - 2011-04-09 16:47:56-04
    Bring some feminine versatility into your life with the Berge Brezza tote. Soft suede and slick leather are always a lovely combination in a handbag. And if the combination is assisted with cute shapes then the combo gets even better! This is exactly what happens in this convertible tote - the pinky suede body is complemented [...]
  35. Paco Mena Dickseea Clutch | Clever Structured Satin Evening Bag - 2011-04-09 17:50:53-04
    Being beautiful and luxurious doesn't have to mean being brash. This clever little satin clutch shows that there is more than one way to produce a structured handbag. The structure isn't in the actually shape of the handbag, but the layout of the satin exterior. You see, the cream satin fans out from a diagonal central strip of [...]
  36. Kate Spade Gold Lagoon Purse | Pineapple Clasp Framed Lella Clutch - 2011-04-10 16:24:40-04
    Fruit prints are all over the fashion world at the moment - but many of the pineapples and bananas are hard to wear in the real world! Thankfully I think Kate Spade has managed to make the trend much more wearable by keeping the fruit minimal and the bag elegant. Yes, you see, this is a [...]
  37. Baggallini Sydney Bagg | Practical Organizer Travel Cross-Body Bag - 2011-04-11 01:19:40-04
    Whether you're planning a Down Under vacation or visiting a destination a little closer to home, you'll stay organized with the Sydney Bagg. The Sydney is another practical little number from travel bag specialists, Baggallini. It's not incredibly fashion forward but there's a certain charm to this nylon bag with its bold silver hardware. It doesn't [...]
  38. Fashion's Night Out Goes Online | Shopping Websites Prepare for Fashion Industry Event - 2011-04-11 01:40:40-04
    It's still several months away, but I'm already counting down the days until Fashion's Night Out on September 8. This year the annual event is going high tech by encouraging online retailers to participate. With shopping websites joining in Anna Wintour's response to the global recession, no doubt more fashion lovers will have their credit cards [...]
  39. Balenciaga Tube Tote | Simple Blush Pink Leather Handbag - 2011-04-11 01:44:51-04
    Balenciaga pares back its usual motorcycle aesthetic to create something much more elegant with this Tube Tote. This is a real departure for the brand, something that's much cleaner and more reserved than its usual offerings. Ordinarily Balenciaga is a bit heavy-handed with its hardware, but here we only see metal on the top closure and [...]
  40. Christina Hendricks Loves Handbags | Mad Men Actress' eBay Shopping Obsession - 2011-04-11 01:58:40-04
    Sexy Mad Men siren Christina Hendricks has a handbag collection many of us would kill to own, and the actress says it's still growing! Christina says she loves to spend time on eBay scouring for designer handbag bargains. In fact, she's such an eBay fanatic that she even has a 'watching list'! The next item on her [...]
  41. Bally Mae Small Bowling Bag | Retro Leather Handbag - 2011-04-11 03:44:59-04
    Bally does away with tradition for this uniquely shaped Mae bowling bag. The domed shape so familiar is forgotten, replaced with a more angular, trapezoidal shape. I'm not sure it's ideal for holding bowling balls, but if you're not lugging your kit to the local lanes you won't mind that. The distinctive shape affords us a [...]
  42. Tylie Malibu Runaway West Mini Tote | Studded Leather Bag with Adjustable Straps - 2011-04-11 08:15:48-04
    Well well well - I do believe this may be the nicest tote I have ever seen from Tylie Malibu! The two parallel bands of bronze pyramid studs are the first things that catch your eye, thanks to the way that they stretch around the centre of this purse. In combination with the coordinating metal hardware they are particularly good [...]
