- Felix Rey Sequin Tote | Luxury Decorative Glittery Purse - 2011-03-28 17:31:25-04
I am starting to really like Felix Rey. The brand keep on making luxury handbags with slightly unusual touches, and any unique qualities deserve to be recognised in the fashion industry! In the case of this gorgeous black tote, the special touch is in the sequins. Thousands of the little things, covering the entire body of [...]
- New Yorkers Marry in Macy's Handbag Aisle | Department Store Love Story - 2011-03-28 22:50:29-04
Santina Bowers realized every woman's dream this week when she was married in the handbag aisle of Macy's Herald Square store. It sounds like a strange place to tie the knot, but the story behind the nuptials is very romantic. California born Santina first met her groom, New York City police officer Moise Naolo, while she [...]
- Silvia Tcherassi Designs Shoes & Handbags for Payless ShoeSource | Affordable Accessories from Bridal Designer - 2011-03-28 23:23:16-04
Silvia Tcherassi is the latest designer to launch a capsule collection with Payless ShoeSource. Tcherassi is an apparel and bridal gown specialist, but brides to be are out of luck. Her Payless line will instead feature handbags and shoes. This is the first time that Tcherassi has designed shoes, and her handbags have always been few [...]
- Juicy Couture Leather Brogue Wallet | Classic Quilted Tan Coin Purse - 2011-03-29 02:05:54-04
What's this? A Juicy Couture that isn't made of velour, covered in sequins and slogans, or accented in sugary pink? Say it isn't so! In fact, if I didn't know better I'd never pick this as a Juicy Couture wallet if it were in a lineup. It's positively sedate, with its cognac colored leather body and [...]
- Jimmy Choo Fights to Regain Company | Designer Offers £500 Million for Fashion Empire - 2011-03-29 03:05:45-04
Jimmy Choo wants his company back. The shoe designer hasn't been involved with his namesake label since 2000, but he's offering £500 million to take the reins once again. British private equity firm TowerBrook currently owns the majority of the company, but word is that they're keen on selling. LVMH, Valentino, and a few other private [...]
- Kenneth Cole Leather Tabloid Wristlet | Studded Black Wrist Loop Purse - 2011-03-29 04:05:57-04
Stop the presses! Kenneth Cole says it's created something to talk about with this Tabloid wristlet. Honestly though, I'm not sure such a traditional wristlet will create a lot of buzz. It's much too tame to be gossiped about, with only a row of small silver studs creating any real interest. While it might not get tongues [...]
- Sprayground Street Art Backpacks | Graffiti Influenced School Bags - 2011-03-29 05:05:00-04
New York based designer DBD originally started Sprayground to create backpacks for street artists needing to transport their spray cans. But the label has come a long way since creating those blank backpacks. These days the company makes bold printed packs which are like wearable works of art. Backpacks are in DBD's blood. As a child [...]
- Pilar Abril Nenufar Satchel | Retro Colorblock Snake Print Synthetic Handbag - 2011-03-29 06:05:18-04
Pilar Abril gets colorblocking right with this retro Nenufar satchel. I haven't always warmed to the colorblocking trend, but by keeping the colors gentle and harmonizing Pilar Abril has created an accessory I can really get behind. The combination of pale teal and mint green is unexpected but stunning, especially with its chic snake print finish. [...]
- Gorjana Madison Cross-Body Bag | Sophisticated Gray Lambskin Handbag - 2011-03-30 02:05:39-04
Gorjana reminds us that cross-body bags can be sophisticated with the Madison. All too often cross-bodies are casual, boho styled affairs, but this one is a more elegant creature. Its pebbled leather body is a very pretty pale gray, and since Gorjana has used lambskin it slouches in all the right places. It's certainly not slovenly, but [...]
- Lulu Guinness' New Lips Tote for Charity | Black Bag for Action on Addiction - 2011-03-30 03:05:08-04
Lulu Guinness has plastered her signature red pouty lips on a brand new tote bag for charity. A minimum of £7 from each handbag sold will benefit Action on Addiction, a non-profit organization which works to prevent and treat addictions. The group takes a holistic approach, working both with the addict and their affected family members [...]
- Clara Kasavina Rosita Puff Clutch | Silver Python Rose Clasp Evening Purse - 2011-03-30 04:05:51-04
We've often waxed lyrical about Clara Kasavina's dramatic and dazzling evening purses, but I'm not feeling quite as bowled over by the Rosita puff clutch. Its python finish is undeniably gorgeous. The silvery surface toughens up the snakeskin, making its oversized scales seem even more magical. In fact, I can imagine that the skin came from [...]
- Chanel USA Employees Bag Blake Lively | Gossip Girl Slammed By American Workers - 2011-03-30 05:05:15-04
I loved Blake Lively's ad campaign for the Mademoiselle handbag line, but it seems that workers at Chanel USA haven't been so complimentary. The NYDailyNews reports that there's been "internal grumblings" at the French fashion house's American arm ever since Lively was appointed as the face of the handbag collection. An anonymous source says the resistance [...]
- Tylie Malibu Ikat Wayfarer Shoulder Bag | Large Black Canvas Shopper - 2011-03-30 06:05:10-04
Tylie Malibu goes tribal with this Ikat Wayfarer shopper. Ikat is a traditional woven material created by tribes in Cambodia, Thailand, and parts of South and Central America. I'm not sure how diligently Tylie Malibu followed the ancient techniques, but the finished product is gorgeous. I love it when designers choose materials like this, as they're [...]
- Vieta Juliet Satchel | Red Fringed Turn-Lock Leatherette Handbag - 2011-03-31 02:05:06-04
Vieta embraces the romance of bohemian fashion with this Juliet satchel. This is a bit boho by numbers, with its fringed sides and slouchy body. But just because it's predictable doesn't mean the Juliet should be dismissed. That extra long fringe creates a really striking silhouette, which is only amped up by Vieta's bright red leatherette. I [...]
- PR Group Launches Eco-Friendly PPR Home Program | Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent & Other Fashion Houses Go Green - 2011-03-31 03:05:13-04
Some of our favorite handbag brands, including Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney, and Balenciaga, are about to get a whole lot greener. Their parent company PPR Group recently launched a multi-tiered sustainability initiative for all its global brands. PPR Group will spend around €10 million a year on PPR Home, a project which will work [...]
- Alla Leather Art Scherzo Shoulder Bag | Slouchy Leather Stitched Pockets Handbag - 2011-03-31 04:05:39-04
I've only known of Alla Leather Art for a short time, but already the handbag label has become one of my favorites. Purses like this Scherzo shoulder bag are precisely the reason why. At $289 this is a relatively affordable handbag by designer standards, but I can't figure out where the label's skimping. The gentle, natural [...]
- Beirn Ali Bow Satchel | Feminine Gray Snakeskin Structured Handbag - 2011-03-31 06:05:38-04
Beirn embraces its feminine side with this Ali Bow satchel. That bow is what gives this satchel its pizzazz. A snakeskin ribbon threads through the front of the purse, culminating in an oversized girly bow. The use of snakeskin rather than silk or satin gives the bow an appealing structure. Cynics might say the bow is [...]
- New Christian Dior Advertising Campaign | Marion Cotillard Heads to Russia … Almost - 2011-04-01 01:38:51-04
I thought we'd seen the last of Marion Cotillard's jetsetting advertisements for Christian Dior's Lady Dior purses, but it seems there's life in the campaign yet. In the latest installment the Academy Award winning French actress has headed to Russia. Or at least, that's what Christian Dior would like us to believe. While the vivid spires [...]
- Hilary Radley Limelight Buckle Satchel | Belted Brown Nylon & Synthetic Handbag - 2011-04-01 02:05:21-04
Hilary Radley clearly wanted its Limelight bag to stand out, but sadly I think this one's grabbed the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. I suppose the synthetic belted buckle and accents were designed to dress up the Limelight's nylon body, but sadly these details end up looking like a straitjacket. I can just see that [...]
- Safor's New Diffusion Line | Affordable Bags from British Brand - 2011-04-01 03:05:50-04
British bag brand Safor, a favorite amongst discerning celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow, is the latest label to launch a more affordable diffusion line. The move represents a real shift for Safor, which began creating one-of-a-kind couture bags in 2007. Quality won't suffer in the new collection though. The brand's founder and designer Sarah Forsyth said the [...]
- Kensie Girl Button Up Cross-Body Bag | Blue Envelope Flap Purse - 2011-04-01 04:05:37-04
Kensie Girl shows its sensible side with the Button Up cross-body. This purse's name comes from both its conservative demeanor and that cute little button accent on the envelope style flap. That button gives an otherwise classic style a bit of Kensie Girl's signature whimsy. She might be buttoned up, but she's not a complete wallflower! The [...]
- Handbag Exhibition at Morris Museum, New Jersey | On the Head and In the Hand: 200 Years of Hats and Purses - 2011-04-01 05:05:58-04
Morris Museum in New Jersey is celebrating vintage accessories from the last few centuries with its exhibition On the Head and In the Hand: 200 Years of Hats and Purses. The exhibition, which has 52 purses and 87 hats, will be on display until September 25. Elizabeth Laba, the costume curator for Morris Museum, says the [...]
- Carla Mancini Julia Hobo | Black Leather Studded Tassel Handbag - 2011-04-01 06:05:29-04
Carla Mancini brings some rock and roll edge to boho fashion with this Julia Hobo. With its soft leather body, fringed accents, and long tassels you might assume the Julia was your typical bohemian handbag. But the Julia is one tough cookie. The fringe is shorter than the average, and that makes it look a bit [...]
- Zara Terez Mediano Shoulder Bag | Convertible Croc Embossed Pink Lambskin Clutch - 2011-04-02 02:05:53-04
Zara Terez keeps it simple with this convertible Mediano shoulder bag. This purse reminds me of so many clutches from the Lauren Merkin stable, with its curved flap and soft, gently pleated body. But it's given its own personality with a choice of exotic finishes. If you like a pop of color you'll gravitate towards the [...]
- Pilar Abril Ciclamen Messenger Bag | Affordable Synthetic Accented Blue Denim Casual Handbag - 2011-04-02 04:05:54-04
Finally we've found a messenger bag which is casual, but oh so stylish. Pilar Abril strikes the right balance with this Ciclamen messenger. Denim is one of those rare materials which ticks all the boxes. It's affordable without looking cheap, and especially versatile in this deep blue shade. In the same way you can get away [...]
- Dolce & Gabbana Tax Evasion Charges Dropped | Italian Designers Cleared of Wrongdoings - 2011-04-02 20:26:00-04
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have had a lucky escape after Judge Simone Luerti ruled they would not stand trial for tax evasion. You might remember me writing in November about the charges, which alleged that the Italian designers had each moved $569 million to a Luxembourg holding company to avoid paying tax between 2004 and [...]
- Naked Irina Shayk Poses for Xti | Model Strips for Handbag Advertisement - 2011-04-02 20:55:39-04
Russian model Irina Shayk is the new face, and the body, of Spanish clothing label Xti. The European beauty, who shot to fame with her swimwear shoots for Sports Illustrated, poses here carrying one of the label's large handbags and a shorter than short pair of denim cutoffs. It's a good thing that the blue perforated [...]
- Artists Decorate Fendi Baguettes for Green Auction | Designer Purses Sold for A Bid to Save the Earth - 2011-04-03 03:05:31-04
A selection of art decorated Fendi baguette bags are amongst the covetable items being auctioned through Christie's and Runway to Green's A Bid to Save the Earth online auction. The online extravaganza is a companion project to the A Bid to Save the Earth live event, which raised $1.4 million for environmental charities last Friday. Monies [...]
- H&M's New Fashion Against AIDS Range | Retro Clothes & Accessories for Charity - 2011-04-03 05:05:17-04
H&M is preparing to release a new Fashion Against AIDS clothing range for 2011. The unisex collection, which looks to promote safe sax and HIV/AIDS prevention, will feature backpacks, scarves, slogan T-shirts, coats, and more. The range already has a host of celebrities backing it, including actresses Selma Blair, Nikki Reed, and Ginnifer Goodwin, and musos [...]
- 7 Chi Rosa Clutch | Gray Leather Ruffled Purse - 2011-04-04 01:20:32-04
7 Chi reminds us that feminine good looks don't have to come covered in bows or splashes of lurid pink with this gentle Rosa clutch. The Rosa gets its girlish charms from its soft ruffled edges. The structured frills are pinked on the edges, which makes them a bit neater and more tailored. This is definitely [...]
- Abas Josie Slim Wallet | Python Embossed Leather Grecian White Purse - 2011-04-04 01:42:23-04
Exotic lovers claim that there's no substitute for the real thing, but I think this Josie wallet from Abas might make them change their minds. It might not be made of real python skin, but the leather on the Josie is every bit as beautiful, particularly in this Grecian white shade. I love the soft mottled [...]
- Lavie Readies Bebo Clutch Bags | Indian Label Announces Kareena Kapoor Signature Collection - 2011-04-04 03:05:21-04
Bollywood queen Kareena Kapoor is about to get her own handbag collection. The Indian actress known as Bebo has proved a popular ambassador of Lavie handbags, so it's only fitting that the label is preparing to release a limited edition range of purses which share her nickname. It's a surprising move considering that Kareena's only been [...]
- Accessorize Festival Shoulder Bag | Boho Tan Cutwork Fringed Purse - 2011-04-04 03:24:09-04
Get ready for summer festival season with this boho styled shoulder bag from Accessorize. This purse revels in its bohemian vibes, from its long fringing to its earthy color palette. The delicate cut-out work and braiding decorating its flap only adds to this bag's cool, earth mother feel. It won't be too everyone's tastes, but those [...]
- Adidas Diablo Printed Duffel | Small Floral Patterned Sports Bag - 2011-04-04 04:36:07-04
Adidas has given its popular Diablo bag a fun, feminine makeover with this printed version. Everything that made the Diablo such a classic Adidas bag has been retained, but the patterns should help to endear it to female gym junkies. I really like the subtlety of this mumm print, with its earthy pink chrysanthemums darting across [...]
- Judith Leiber Designs FEED Bags | New Limited Edition Clutches for Lauren Bush Charity - 2011-04-04 05:05:23-04
Glamorous designer Judith Leiber has teamed up with Lauren Bush's FEED Projects for some sparkly new charity FEED bags. They're not studded with Swarovski crystals, but these FEED clutch bags are still unmistakably Judith Leiber. Each one is made from Italian linen coated with either gold or silver metallic foil for that trademark Leiber shine. Instead [...]
