- Study Claims Counterfeit Bags Good for Business | Chinese Research Shows Advantages of Replica Handbags - 2011-05-31 00:24:56-04
High end fashion houses would have us believe that the sale of cheap knockoff bags at market stalls undermines their bottom lines. However according to a study by Chinese economist Yi Qian, it seems the reverse might be true. Qian's preliminary study examined China's counterfeit market following outbreaks of food poisoning and exploding gas tanks in [...]
- Healthy Back Bag Eases Pain | Ergonomic Handbag Designed by Doctors - 2011-05-31 01:01:12-04
Say goodbye to back pain with the Healthy Back Bag, a new ergonomic handbag created under the advisement of health practitioners in the United Kingdom. This is one of those purses that doesn't believe we must suffer for fashion. Its unique teardrop shape distributes weight evenly along its length, rather than pulling down from the shoulder [...]
- Magid Satin Clutch | Side Ruffle Jeweled Black Evening Purse - 2011-05-31 01:10:18-04
We know Magid as a cheap and cheerful brand that loves to create casual accessories from woven paper straw. But every now and again it steps out of its box and delivers something unexpected like this satin clutch. This purse is a thing of real beauty, which is both traditional yet a little bit quirky. Satin [...]
- Maison Martin Margiela Wood Grain Clutch | Glossy PVC Evening Purse - 2011-05-31 01:43:24-04
Maison Martin Margiela goes rustic with this Glossy Wood Grain clutch. At first I thought this purse was made of real wood, polished within an inch of its life to create that glossy surface. However it seems the label has fooled us, opting instead to apply a wooden-like finish to methacrylate PVC. While purists may prefer [...]
- Kate Spade Seersucker Vionette Purse | Patent Leather Convertible Clutch - 2011-05-31 14:48:24-04
Wowsers, those is some blinding stripes! This is handbag-meets-visual-illusion, and it manages to kind of work. The Seersucker Vionette clutch steps away from Kate Spade's typical retro style. Don't get me wrong, this is still retro, but rather than paying homage to the quaint and cutsey 50s, this is edgier. More steampunk, less Little Bo Peep. It wouldn't [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Packables Shopper | Yellow Striped Nylon Tote Purse - 2011-05-31 18:12:41-04
Marc Jacobs is one of those rare designers that manages to turn heads no matter what he produces. Whether it's a high-class clutch or a casual nylon shopper like this Packables bag, a Marc Jacobs creation always has that certain something. This isn't a piece of high-end fashion, but its quirky features help make it more [...]
- Indeeyo Shopping Website Launch | New Site for Unique Handbags & Fashion - 2011-05-31 18:53:26-04
Stand out from the pack with a handbag or apparel item from new shopping website Indeeyo. Rather than offering the same high end items as every other shopping e-tailer, Indeeyo showcases the work of independent fashion designers. The site is the brainchild of former indie handbag designer Jasmin Kung. Through the website, Jasmin aims to offer [...]
- Marni Shopping Bag | Pink Patent Perforated Leather Handbag - 2011-05-31 20:36:17-04
I felt a sense of déjà vu when I first clamped eyes on this Marni shopping bag. Doesn't it look an awful lot like the Ornj Bags David Shock makes from construction fences? Sure the color is more sedate and the materials more luxurious, but both handbags have those distinctive large perforations and playful retro feel. [...]
- First Look at Missoni for Target Advertisement | Paparazzi Snap New Capsule Collection - 2011-05-31 21:39:59-04
We've got our first look at the upcoming Missoni for Target collection courtesy of some very canny paparazzi. The undercover snappers captured Margherita Missoni, the model daughter of the label's creative director Angela Missoni, posing with a swag of the new gear. Honestly, this is Missoni for Target overload. She's wearing a Missoni for Target headband [...]
- Mary Frances Bee Happy Cross-Body | Beautiful Sequined Bumblebee Purse - 2011-05-31 23:46:28-04
Don't worry. This Bee Happy purse from Mary Frances is the perfect pick-me-up! This kind of sequin covered novelty is just what Mary Frances is famous for. However I think the Bee Happy might be a step up for the brand. Its structured bee is just the kind of embellishment I can imagine adorning a high [...]
- Matt & Nat Cursive Wallet | Studded Black Vegan Leather Pleated Purse - 2011-06-01 02:05:25-04
Just when I thought studs were becoming passé, Matt & Nat come along and make the metal accents seem fresh. The restraint shown with the Cursive wallet makes me remember why we all fell in love with studs in the first place. Far too many designers overdo studs. They cover their bags in them, large metal [...]
- Green Shopping Website LovingEco Launches | Register for Members-Only Eco-Friendly Fashion Site - 2011-06-01 03:53:09-04
Designers like Stella McCartney and Matt & Nat can always be counted on for eco-friendly handbags, but generally green-conscious fashion fans have to wade through the offerings on shopping websites to find the ones which meet our ethical standards. New online retailer LovingEco looks to make things a bit easier when it officially launches on [...]
- Maxx New York Bridget Shoulder Bag | Practical Purple Snake Printed Synthetic Double Strap Bag - 2011-06-01 04:05:50-04
Maxx New York dresses up its cheap and cheerful synthetic with this Bridget shoulder bag. The Bridget's snake treatment really is lovely. The textured scales make the synthetic shimmer when it catches the light, but they're not as obvious as they might have been. Something with dark mottled patterns just would have seemed busy on a [...]
- Foley + Corinna Disco City Mini Bag | Metallic Crackled Leather Handbag - 2011-06-01 08:37:16-04
The Disco City mini bag from Foley & Corinna takes a favorite brand design (that curved handle and long shape) and applies it to a mini bag format. The result? An unusual looking purse with enough added glamour to really make an impression. Whilst the shape looks dramatic, it also offers an unusual amount of room for a typical [...]
- Gucci's New Sukey Tote for UNICEF | Wax Embossed Brown Charity Bag - 2011-06-02 00:29:49-04
This delicious chocolate brown Sukey tote bag is the latest Gucci for UNICEF creation. Gucci has supported UNICEF's Schools for Africa project for the last seven years through the creation of limited edition handbags such as this. A percentage of handbag sales helps UNICEF provide quality education for African children in need. Since 2005, Gucci has [...]
- Melie Bianco Melissa Hobo | Lace Effect Synthetic Handbag - 2011-06-02 01:05:05-04
Melie Bianco embraces its feminine side with this flirty Melissa hobo. Ordinarily designers make their bags girly by covering them in sequins and bows and crafting them in sugary pink fabrics. But Melie Bianco takes a more atypical approach. This one is pink, but it's a dusty shade that's much subtler than a fuchsia or bubblegum [...]
- Mellow World Mini Pearls Studded Handbag | Affordable Sophisticated Gray Purse - 2011-06-02 02:05:08-04
Mellow World takes the edge off the studded trend with this Mini Pearls handbag. Rather than metal studs, this handbag is decorated with elegant pearl-like domes in the same gentle gray as its leatherette body. They're not quite as mini as the bag's name suggests, and honestly I'd have preferred they were a bit more delicate. [...]
- Pat McGrath & LeSportsac Make Cosmetics Case Collection | New LipPerfection Make-Up Purses for Covergirl - 2011-06-02 03:05:29-04
British make-up artist Pat McGrath has reunited with LeSportsac for the second year running to create a new cosmetic bag collection for Covergirl. The eight-piece set was inspired by Covergirl's instant classic lipcolor, LipPerfection. It was also informed by McGrath's knowledge of the fashion industry. After working on countless runways and advertising shoots, she knows a [...]
- Menbur Argunova Clutch | Satin Twisted Fabric Nude Pink Evening Purse - 2011-06-02 04:05:22-04
I'm always amazed how impressive artfully arranged fabric can look. Menbur reminds us of this simple trick with its beautiful Argunova clutch. The swath of satin which twists around the front of the purse makes its simple flap design seem so much more dramatic. Its elegance is only enhanced by the pretty pale pink hue. Menbur [...]
- Blembel's Steel Handbags | Swiss Bag Brand Plans American Assault - 2011-06-02 05:05:01-04
Swiss label Blembal has used steel to make the purses from its latest handbag line tougher than the average. The use of high-grade chromium steel manufactured in Switzerland doesn't just make Blembal bags strong. The label also uses the metal to create an amazing optical illusion. The light shines through the angled steel to create a [...]
- MICHAEL Michael Kors Knox Satchel | Large Ladylike Structured Vintage Handbag - 2011-06-02 06:05:23-04
Every since the launch of Mad Men, I've been drooling over vintage fashions. The biggest problem for me though is that the handbags always seem so small. They hearken back to the days before cell phones and oversized wallets, a time when all a girl had to carry was her lipstick and a handkerchief. Thankfully [...]
- Felix Rey Isabell Mesh Wristlet | Unusual Metal and Mesh Contrasting Purse - 2011-06-02 17:15:49-04
Go all dramatic and armoured with this metal mesh version of the funky Felix Rey Isabell clutch. The quilted leather version with its big solid metal bow was, quite frankly, awesome. That makes for some really big shoes to fill, and any other Isabell versions could have trouble living up to the high expectations. However, then [...]
- Tory Burch Amanda Snake Effect Leather Shoulder Bag | Small Sophisticated Exotic Pouch - 2011-06-03 00:14:12-04
It's been a while since I wrote about Tory Burch. I used to really dislike her aesthetic, but it's really grown on me the past few seasons. Not only that, but she's gotten a lot more street smart, as well, which only makes me like her more. This Amanda shoulder bag is a great example [...]
- Michael Kors Textured Leather Satchel | Smooth Minimal Black Leather Shoulder Bag - 2011-06-03 01:30:18-04
I wasn't really fan of Michael Kors until his MICHAEL diffusion line got really awesome and I had to take a closer look at the collection. This bag is a masterful piece of minimalism, and though it might not scream "fashion icon," that's exactly the point. It doesn't scream at all. The small, fine grain on [...]
- Santi Zip Rose Clutch | Surprisingly Elegant Peach Evening Bag - 2011-06-03 12:08:13-04
Using zips as decorative features tends to go one of two ways. It either looks a bit trampy and unnecessarily try hard, or it looks edgy and streetwise. Interestingly, this Santi clutch doesn't come across as either! The zip edged roses lining the top of this satin clutch actually manage to just look... pretty. They have avoided all the pitfalls, I reckon, purely [...]
- Miquelrius Jordi Labanda Sweet Suede Wristlet | Soft Pink Debossed Purse - 2011-06-04 00:46:12-04
Miquelrius gives us a purse that's just what it says on the tin with the Sweet Suede Wristlet. A review of this wristlet need say little more than it's made of suede, and very sweet. But in the interests of properly informing you, I'll go beyond that superficial analysis. Its pale pink suede body is embellished [...]
- Gucci Celebrates Anniversary with 1921 Collection | Limited Edition Handbags & Fashion for 90th Birthday - 2011-06-04 01:12:10-04
Gucci is celebrating its 90th year in the fashion industry with the release of an exclusive anniversary collection. The 1921 Collection is comprehensive, with commemorative men's and women's apparel, handbags, jewelry, watches, and other accessories all available through Gucci stores. Each piece pays homage to the craftsmanship and luxury materials that have made Gucci a household [...]
- Miu Miu Leather Mini Flap Shoulder Bag | Metallic Starburst Applique Purse - 2011-06-04 01:23:16-04
For a while now I've worried that Miu Miu's accessories may be blending into the background. They were perfectly polite, but they didn't seem to rev me anymore. But there's no danger of this mini flap shoulder bag being ignored! The starburst appliqué which decorates this bag is completely wild. It's very 80s, but it's like [...]
- Incase's New Andy Warhol Tech Accessories | Art Printed Laptop Bags & iPhone Cases - 2011-06-04 01:49:01-04
Incase is celebrating the work of enduring pop artist Andy Warhol with its latest collection of tech bags and cases. Incase's Andy Warhol collection features protective laptop sleeves and shoulder bags, snap cases for iPhones, and book jackets in a range of Andy Warhol prints. There are five different designs in all, including Banana and $ [...]
- Moonsus Metropolitan Satchel | Practical Camel Leather Handbag - 2011-06-04 01:58:09-04
Moonsus delivers everything city girls need with this Metropolitan satchel. Notice that I said need, not want. Because I know you're looking at this satchel and starting to yawn. I can't say that I blame you. It certainly doesn't have the personality of many satchels on the market, and for that reason it could be easily [...]
- Love Moschino Print-A-Porter Convertible Bag | Hippie Retro Logo Cross-Body Handbag - 2011-06-04 22:39:53-04
Moschino plans to make you swoon with this Print-A-Porter purse from its Love Moschino collection. But has it sent your heart racing? Ordinarily fabric bags look so, well, ordinary, so I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Its body is like so many canvas totes, although its psychedelic inspired Love Moschino logo gives it a bit [...]
- First Look at The Row Handbags | Boring Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Luxury Purses - 2011-06-05 00:28:02-04
Celebrity twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have given us a sneak peek at their first collection of handbags for their high-end fashion label The Row. Frankly, I'm feeling a little uninspired by the images I've seen so far. While the ostrich skin of the Twin Mini Bag and the alligator used for the Metal Frame Clutch [...]
- Mulberry Antony Leather Cross-Body Bag | Black Vegetable Tanned Practical Handbag - 2011-06-05 01:20:00-04
From its distinctive turn-lock closure to its richly pebbled leather, this Antony cross-body bag could only be a Mulberry. I have mixed feelings about the Antony's style. On one hand, Mulberry bags are becoming real status symbols. They look good no matter what the situation; they're not too casual for dinner at most restaurants, but they [...]
- Buba Collaborates with Cabinet on New Handbag Collection | Jewel Studded Autumn/Winter Purses - 2011-06-05 01:57:24-04
Luxury handbag label Buba enjoyed teaming up with jewelry firm Cabinet so much on their first collection, it's doing it all again this fall/winter. The colors we saw in the spring/summer collection have been muted to reflect the changing seasons. The combination of mellow gray, ivory, and soft golden hues and Cabinet's gemstones is very old [...]
- Mywalit Small Shopper | Colorful Blue Grab Bag with Woven Handles - 2011-06-05 02:36:48-04
The always colorful Mywalit looks to brighten up your next trip to the mall with this small shopper. Mywalit are masters at using color well. It offers a rainbow of shades, but the hues are never blinding. Most of this bag is a very sedate shade of dark blue. But it becomes something special with the [...]
- Free Chris Benz Bags at Saks | Designer Totes with Lancome Purchase - 2011-06-05 03:06:04-04
Chris Benz has given us a new reason to splurge on skincare with his latest tote bag. The adorable tote is offered as a free gift to Saks Fifth Avenue shoppers who spend $60 or more on Lancome products. I love the combination of casual sketching and watercolor hues, and the handles are especially stylish. As [...]
- Nahui Ollin Wallet | Woven Recycled Candy Wrapper Purse - 2011-06-05 03:37:59-04
I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with Nahui Ollin. I can't help respecting the way she turns old candy wrappers into wearable pieces of art. Her traditional way of weaving the wrappers has created so many eco-conscious copycats. But on the other hand, her purses aren't very practical. Her material is fragile, so [...]
- What'Surbag Gives Back | Reusable Tote Brand Gives to Charity & Planet - 2011-06-05 04:04:52-04
Reusable totes are becoming a staple of modern culture. They're an eco-friendly way to take our groceries home from the store and they double as convenient gym bags. But do they all have to look so boring? Apparently not. What'Surbag is bucking the trend with its funky reusable handbags. Choose from bold solid colors, glitzy metallics, [...]
- Nancy Gonzalez Panama Knotted Satchel | Crocodile Net Structured Black & Ivory Handbag - 2011-06-06 02:05:35-04
Nancy Gonzalez delivers another enviable piece of arm candy with this Panama Knotted Satchel. The South American designer has mixed things up a bit here, tying strips of her favorite Caimun fuscus crocodile in knots to create an exotic kind of net. This luxurious black skin is laid over pale ivory straw, dressing up the summery [...]
- Travelpro International Launch Walkabout Lite 4 Collection | Lightweight Tough New Travel Bags - 2011-06-06 03:05:31-04
Travelpro International has released a new Walkabout Lite 4 Collection just in time for our summer vacations. The new range looks to help travelers avoid those pesky extra baggage fees, as all its bags are lighter than the average. Just don't call them lightweights! The Walkabout Lite 4 bags are just as tough as the rest [...]
- Nicole Lee Nadia Boston Satchel | Studded Flower Purple Synthetic Bag - 2011-06-06 04:05:05-04
Lately I've been falling in love with studs all over again. Designers are beginning to realize that less is more, and using the accents with the restraint they really deserve. And then there's Nicole Lee. There's nothing restrained about the application of studs on this Nadia satchel. Nicole Lee has been very heavy-handed with the metal, [...]
