1. Amalia Mattaor Dancing Bags | Unusual Futuristic Fish Leather Shoulder Bags - 2011-07-04 21:07:18-04
   French designer Amalia Mattaor has reinvented the shoulder bag with her clever nightclub ready Dancing Bags. The unusual purses were designed with keen club hoppers in mind. They strap onto the shoulder, keeping your essentials safe without restricting your mobility on the dance floor. The futuristic, fierce designs are really like an extension of the body, [...]
   
2. Whiting & Davis Mesh & Lucite Elongated Clutch | Aqua Retro Metal Evening Purse - 2011-07-04 23:30:42-04
   Whiting & Davis puts a retro spin on its metal mesh purses with this Mesh & Lucite Elongated Clutch. Often metal mesh has a classic, vintage vibe, but this one seems to take its inspiration from the swinging sixties. The aqua-colored brass mesh is much poppier than the traditional designs Whiting & Davis often produces, and [...]
   
3. Upcycled Accessories from Super Earth Goods | Sustainable Trash to Treasure Handbags - 2011-07-05 00:33:12-04
   Super Earth Goods is a green accessories company hailing from Indonesia, the fourth most populous country in the world. With all those people comes a whole lot of waste, a problem this sustainable label looks to reduce. Super Earth Goods workers visit second-hand stores, markets, garages, and other local sites in search of discarded items [...]
   
4. Big Buddha Sunburst Hobo | Large Sueded Synthetic Carryall Bag - 2011-07-05 01:07:07-04
   Big Buddha helps you carry everything you could ever need or want on a day out with this large Sunburst hobo. This oversized hobo gets its name from the golden metal accents which create a contemporary sunburst design at each side of the bag. These details help to punch up the fairly bland beige color. Nudes [...]
   
5. Roxy Spicy Hobo | Classic Black Pebbled Synthetic Handbag - 2011-07-05 02:05:35-04
   Roxy promises plenty, but with its Spicy hobo it delivers a bag that's lacking in heat. Labels set themselves up for failure when they choose such ambitious names for their bags. If you promise us spice, you'd better deliver it! However this hobo is just like so many others with its color-by-numbers approach. Crescent shape, check. [...]
   
6. Uroco Turns Kimonos Into Clutches | Asian Inspired Upcycled Purses - 2011-07-05 03:05:55-04
   She might live in Brighton now, but Japanese born designer Nawako "Lala" Joy has never forgotten her roots. She created the fashion house Uroco with her husband David to give her birthplace's kimonos new life. Uroco takes vintage silk kimonos and carefully crafts them by hand into Asian inspired clutch purses, handbags, wraps, brooches, and belts. All [...]
   
7. Elliott Lucca Millana Bucket Bag | Woven Leather Drawstring Handbag - 2011-07-05 19:39:14-04
   Elliott Lucca shows we don't have to spend a fortune to enjoy a luxurious leather weave with this Millana bucket bag. I'm smitten with the stormy blue colors of this woven surface. It's almost like a tie-dye, but without the hippie dippy vibe. The palette moves easily from pale gray to blue to black, creating an [...]
   
8. Radley London Supports Art for Life East Hampton | British Bags for New York Arts Education Program - 2011-07-05 20:25:02-04
   Radley London is lending its support to Russell Simmons' 12th Annual Art for Life East Hampton benefit, to be held in the New York City suburb on July 30. The iconic British accessories company will provide VIP gift bags for the event. Each gift bag will be made of canvas and embellished with a British Union [...]
   
9. Melie Bianco Amber Satchel | Snake Print Synthetic Bamboo Accented Handbag - 2011-07-05 21:38:45-04
   Melie Bianco does its best Gucci impersonation with this Amber satchel. The affordable designer doesn't even try to pretend it's not ripping off the Italian brand's Bamboo purse. All those trademark details are there, from the rounded shape and flap to the bamboo handle and turn-lock clasp. But then I think Melie Bianco takes things a [...]
   
10. Inge Christopher Krystle Minaudiere | Swarovski Crystal Bronze Satin Pillow Purse - 2011-07-06 02:05:20-04
    Add a bit of sparkle to your evening with this Krystle Minaudiere from Inge Christopher. This is a really dreamy purse, with its structured pillow shape and twinkling Swarovski crystal accents. By using three differently sized gemstones, Inge Christopher has made this purse more contemporary than it might have been. There's just a hint of rebellion [...]
    
11. Exotic Poupee Couture Purses | Handbags Inspired by Arabian Women - 2011-07-06 03:05:17-04
    They say that a woman's handbag says much about her own personality, but few reflect their culture like the purses from United Arab Emirates' Poupee Couture. Designer Roula Ghalayini knows all too well the way that Arab women must act to blend in with society. They can't always say what they want to say, or behave [...]
    
12. Kooba Brayden Cross-Body Bag | Small Utilitarian Brown Leather Purse - 2011-07-06 04:05:00-04
    Kooba knows that not every girl wants to carry a bag covered in frills and bows, so it serves up something much simpler with the Brayden. While I don't mind the occasional bit of frippery, I prefer something much cleaner on an everyday basis. The Brayden certainly isn't boring though. It gets its personality from the [...]
    
13. Christian Louboutin Mini Sweet Charity Glitter And Suede Bag | Ultra Glam Sparkly Studded Evening Bag - 2011-07-06 20:48:40-04
    Christian Louboutin's line of Sweet Charity bags is one of my favorites. Which is kind of unusual actually, because I'm not into glam or sparkles or any of that stuff. Despite this, I find the design of bags very compelling. Especially this very glittery suede version. I think the best way to describe the material on [...]
    
14. Louis Vuitton & Burberry Awarded Record Copyright Payments | Designers Take Counterfeiters to Canadian Court - 2011-07-06 23:36:04-04
    Louis Vuitton and Burberry have won record sums after successfully suing Canadian copycat labels. The luxury fashion houses finally took Singga Enterprises, Carnation Fashion Company, and Altec to task over the replica designer handbags they've imported from China for the past three years. The Canadian court awarded Louis Vuitton the lion's share, at $1.4 million CAD, [...]
    
15. Betsey Johnson Bows & Whistles Clutch | Metallic Red Pyramid Stud Purse - 2011-07-07 01:05:00-04
    Prepare to shield your eyes and embrace your wild side as you look at this Bows & Whistles Clutch from Betsey Johnson. Perhaps it's not even necessary to tell you this is a Betsey Johnson original. I can't imagine anyone else having the gall to pair metallic red leather with pyramid studs. These spikes cover the [...]
    
16. Mary Frances Ruby Tuesday Evening Bag | Middle Eastern Inspired Burgundy Gemstone Purse - 2011-07-07 02:05:35-04
    Add some Middle Eastern flair to your Western wardrobe with this Ruby Tuesday evening bag. All too often Mary Frances' creations can get a bit kitschy. They come across as novelty items rather than the works of art they should be. But the designer gets things just right here, without ever compromising any of her individuality. [...]
    
17. Rachana Reddy's Indian Purses | Wooden Clutches with Traditional Motifs - 2011-07-07 03:05:55-04
    Indian designer Rachana Reddy is a graduate of the Cordwainers-London College of Fashion, but her homeland is never far from her mind. Her clutch purses are adorned with the motifs of her birthplace, and carefully handcrafted by the country's artisans. The clutch pictured is the Padma, and Rachana Reddy's signature purse. It shares its name with [...]
    
18. Big Buddha Houston Cross-Body Bag | Chain Decorated Camel Vegan Leather Handbag - 2011-07-07 04:05:45-04
    Big Buddha takes the path less traveled, making its Houston feel rebellious not through studs and grommets but by some cleverly placed chains. Chains are nothing new for creating rock and roll edge, but they tend to form the handles, or be laid haphazardly over the design. Big Buddha obscures them a bit, embedding them in [...]
    
19. Domakaya Woolen Purses | Quirky Knitted & Crocheted Clutch Bags - 2011-07-07 05:05:52-04
    With all the balmy weather we've been enjoying, it's hard to believe the fashion world is looking ahead to winter. If you're ready to get a head start on your next seasonal wardrobe, a Domakaya purse might be just the ticket. Domakaya is a London-based family firm that creates unique knitted and crocheted accessories. The playful [...]
    
20. Jessica Simpson Bliss Tote | Croco-Embossed Caramel Synthetic Handbag - 2011-07-07 06:05:08-04
    I've been pleasantly surprised by many of the accessories from pop star Jessica Simpson's signature fashion line. Sadly though, the Bliss tote isn't one of these accessories. The Bliss tote isn't a bad tote per se, but it's far too ordinary to deserve such a glowing moniker. The crocodile embossing is okay, but nothing to write [...]
    
21. Anya Hindmarch Huxley Stingray Trimmed Leather Tote | Sleek Minimal Black Shoulder Bag - 2011-07-07 12:19:38-04
    Anya Hindmarch came on the design scene just a few years ago, but since then she's had a lot of ups and downs. Honestly, she just doesn't seem to have found her own style completely, yet. She sort of bounces between sleek modern styles and quirky feminine ones. This Huxley bag is of the former [...]
    
22. Gucci Ride Textured Leather Tote | Fabulously Classic Cool Blue Carryall - 2011-07-07 23:21:11-04
    Gucci might be an age-old fashion powerhouse, but the line has had its share of ups and downs. Lucky for all of us, Gucci seems to be on a major upswing. This Ride tote is both a contemporary classic and a nod to their glorious past. The blue leather of the Ride is perfectly chosen. It [...]
    
23. Guess Visage East-West Satchel | Ostrich Embossed Coffee Bow Bag - 2011-07-08 02:05:53-04
    Guess is back to its old tricks with this Visage east-west satchel. Fans of the label are likely to love its exotic impersonation, but I can't imagine this satchel will win the brand any new fans. When done well, exotic embossing can be a wonderful way to enjoy a rich finish for less. When done poorly [...]
    
24. Supergran Honored at Police Bravery Awards | Ann Timson Recognized for Handbag Attack on Thieves - 2011-07-08 03:05:14-04
    Ann Timson, the flame-haired granny who shot to fame when she apprehended sledgehammer-wielding crooks with her handbag in February, has been honored for her bravery. The Northampton local was awarded the Jill Dando gong at The Sun's annual Police Bravery Awards. The title is reserved for a member of the public who's shown great courage. Well [...]
    
25. Christina Elaine's Pregnancy Photo Blog | Handbag Designer's Unusual Charity Fundraiser - 2011-07-08 05:05:02-04
    Handbag designer Christina Elaine is documenting her pregnancy for a good cause through a project she calls 1 Pregnancy, 140 Outfits, 1 Hope. Elaine will be photographed every day of the final phase of her pregnancy, the time when many women are worrying about swollen ankles and all that extra baby weight. She hopes that [...]
    
26. Coach Occasion Sequin Wristlet | Sparkly Gold Evening Purse - 2011-07-08 06:05:12-04
    Coach shows some uncharacteristic sparkle with this Occasion sequin wristlet. I've never seen Coach quite so spangly as it appears here. Gone are the signature prints we typically expect from the line, replaced instead with a cacophony of glittering gold sequins. If you look closely you can see Coach's signature metal logo peeking through all those [...]
    
27. Kooba Caitlin Hobo | Gray Suede Bag with Bow - 2011-07-08 06:05:22-04
    Kooba gives us wintery sophistication all wrapped up in a bow with this Caitlin hobo. This hobo is a real departure from the slouchy bohemian accessory it originated from. The suede body is soft but thick, giving the Caitlin more structure than the average. This might lose it a few hippie points, but it makes it [...]
    
28. Baggallini On the Go Bag | Practical Large Green Convertible Cross-Body Purse - 2011-07-09 02:05:20-04
    Baggallini's always made purses for girls on the go, but with this On the Go Bag the label's made it official. What this cross-body purse lacks in style, it makes up for in substance. It's enormous, but with a pair of main compartments and several small pockets it doesn't feel unmanageable. We even get credit card [...]
    
29. Mariacarla Boscono Strips Down for Loewe | Italian Model Bares All for Fall/Winter 2011 Advertisement - 2011-07-09 03:05:43-04
    Mariacarla Boscono is the latest star to bare all for a fashion commercial. The stunning Italian model stripped down for Loewe's fall/winter 2011 advertising campaign, posing with only Flamenco bags covering her bits. Boscono was photographed at Madrid's historic Ritz Hotel, a location that art director and stylist Katie Grand insisted upon. She said she felt [...]
    
30. J. Furmani Elegant Clutch | Affordable Pleated Ivory Satin Evening Purse - 2011-07-09 04:05:11-04
    Recently I've become disillusioned with bags that don't live up to the promise of their names. There was Roxy's Spicy hobo that had no heat, and Jessica Simpson's Bliss tote that seemed far from blissful. So thank goodness this J. Furmani Elegant clutch is elegant! I've seen many pleated clutch purses, but never one as clever [...]
    
31. Emilio Pucci Embroidered Woven Cotton And Leather Bag | Expensive And Rustic Boho Chic Bag - 2011-07-09 22:24:20-04
    Emilio Pucci is one of those iconic designers that I've always respected for sticking to his own guns, design-wise. Unfortunately, this embroidered cotton bag represents a departure from Pucci's usual style, and not ina way I particularly admire. Actually, there's nothing really wrong with the bag. The cotton is intricately woven. The color scheme is beautiful [...]
    
32. Marni Slouchy Leather Hobo | Quirky Feminine Shoulder Bag - 2011-07-10 00:00:02-04
    Marni has been a little off and on, lately. There just doesn't seem to be much stylistic consistency. Unfortunately, this slouchy leather hobo is the perfect example of what I mean. The brown leather material of the hobo is a little more medium boring than I'd like. It might have worked out okay, but it looks [...]
    
33. RetroActif Makes Banner Bags | Recycled Promotional PVC Totes - 2011-07-10 01:30:38-04
    RetroActif gives discarded PVC banners and other advertising a new lease on life with its fun and eco-friendly range of handbags. RetroActif sources its banners and billboards from a range of private and public companies. This practice saves the promotional materials from rotting in landfill, and ensures each accessory is a true original. Even when made [...]
    
34. Matt & Nat Holly Hobo | Metal Decorated Khaki Vegan Leather Handbag - 2011-07-10 21:28:08-04
    Matt & Nat continues to set the bar for vegan leather accessories with this fashion forward Holly hobo. Matt & Nat have cleverly brought a little edge to the usually bohemian style with small studs and metal rings around the edge of the flap. The rings remind me a little of the ones that bind notebooks, [...]
    
35. Sharon Osbourne Auctions Fendi Spy Bag | British Celebrity Fundraises for Prince's Trust - 2011-07-10 22:18:58-04
    Flamboyant British media personality Sharon Osbourne is auctioning off her golden Fendi Spy bag for charity. The purse is currently fetching £130 on the Sellebrity auction website, but with more than six days to go we can expect it to fetch much more. And quite rightly so when a brand new Spy bag would cost more [...]
    
36. Chocolate Rosy Hobo | Rosette & Bow Accented Synthetic Handbag - 2011-07-10 23:24:04-04
    Chocolate lets us hold on to spring for a little longer with this flowery Rosy hobo. It's easy to see where this hobo gets its name from, as it's covered in replica roses. These structured blooms are paired with cute bows for an extra girly flourish. It could easily be too much, and in the pink [...]
    
37. Designers Fight Counterfeit Bags with eBay Totes | You Can't Fake Fashions Handbags in Vault - 2011-07-11 01:09:01-04
    eBay is often regarded as a hotbed of counterfeit handbags, but the popular auction site is fighting back with the help of some prominent fashion designers. Its Fashion Vault is currently filled with affordable tote bags bearing the slogan "You Can't Fake Fashion." The totes have been customized by a who's who of the fashion industry [...]
    
38. Carlo Fellini Hailey Clutch | Sophisticated Affordable Satin Pleated Purse - 2011-07-11 02:05:00-04
    It's possible to spend a fortune on glittering evening purses, but who has a social calendar crowded enough to justify it? Carlo Fellini offers us something more practical with its timeless and affordable Hailey clutch. The adjectives "timeless" and "affordable" aren't very sexy, but they are smart. While the Hailey isn't very fashion forward, it has [...]
    
39. Marion Cotillard Poses for Miss Dior Advertisement | Introspective Handbag Commercial for Fall 2011 - 2011-07-11 03:05:50-04
    I thought Marion Cotillard might have moved on from Christian Dior once her jet setting Lady Dior advertising campaign wrapped up, but the award-winning French actress has appeared again in the new Miss Dior commercial. This introspective campaign has a very different feel to those globe-trotting commercials we saw in past seasons. While they were glamorous [...]
    
40. Rebecca Minkoff Kiss Convertible Clutch | Studded Quilted Olive Leather Purse - 2011-07-11 04:05:21-04
    Rebecca Minkoff brings her modern aesthetic to some classic quilting with this Kiss convertible clutch. The Kiss' leather body features contemporary geometric quilting. The look is a lot funkier than the usual diamond stitching we typically see, especially with those screw-style studs thrown into the mix. In wild colors it might have been too much, but [...]
    
41. Fashion. Love. Africa Helps Kenyan Women | Plastic Bag Totes Benefit Poor Community - 2011-07-11 05:05:52-04
    After witnessing the poor conditions of residents of the Giota Garbage Slum in Nakuru, Kenya, designer Ryan Clements knew he had to do his bit to help out. And so he created Fashion. Love. Africa, an accessories company that provides jobs for the women living in the poor African community. The women take plastic bags from [...]
    
42. Nicole Lee Ginia Epoxy Satchel | Plastic Accented Orange Synthetic Handbag - 2011-07-11 06:05:45-04
    Embrace your silly side with this fun Ginia Epoxy satchel from Nicole Lee. The Ginia isn't decorated with Swarovski crystals, grommets, studs, or any of the accents we typically see embellishing high-end handbags. Instead it's covered in colorful epoxy charms. These plastic decorations look a little like shapes from a children's game or make-your-own jewelry set, [...]
