- Calvin Klein Vienna Tote | Classic Brown Leather Handbag - 2011-08-15 22:08:44-04
Calvin Klein has created an affordable wardrobe staple with this Vienna tote. OK, so this tote isn't all that exciting. Its belted detail and gathered sides give it a bit of personality, but essentially this is very traditional tote. However let's remember, classics became classics for a reason. By refusing to bow to trends, Calvin Klein [...]
- Frederick James' Bernie Madoff Pants iPad Cases | Financial Devil's Wardrobe Recycled for Fashion - 2011-08-16 00:17:12-04
When Bernie Madoff's wardrobe was auctioned off along with the rest of his worldly goods last November, many of us wondered what would become of the items. I certainly never imagined the former stock broker's pants would become iPad cases! John Vaccaro of Frederick James bought all 16 pairs of Madoff pants to create these unusual [...]
- Carla Mancini Olivia Hobo | Bohemian Cross Stitched Brown Leather Handbag - 2011-08-16 01:39:18-04
Carla Mancini injects a little extra boho into the hobo style with this Olivia bag. This hobo breaks a few rules but still celebrates the essence of the style. Its bottom heavy design makes a stable change from the regular crescent, and its more structured leather is another inspired alteration. But it retains its essential hobo-ness [...]
- Carlo Fellini Natalie Clutch | Beautiful Rhinestone Clasp Satin Box Purse - 2011-08-16 02:22:47-04
Carlo Fellini lets the clasp do all the talking with this gorgeous Natalie clutch. This purse is all about that large semi-circle clasp. The closure is studded with rhinestones, adding the bling that this fairly simple clutch needs to stand out. I like this classic combination of white gems with navy satin, but there are four [...]
- Botkier Claims Kardashians Copied Trigger Bag | Sears Pulls Celebrity Sisters' Handbag - 2011-08-16 03:47:06-04
The Kardashian sisters' Kardashian Kollection hasn't even hit shelves, but already the socialite sisters have been taken to task over one of their handbag designs. Monica Botkier claims one of the leopard print purses sold through Sears stores is a copy of her Trigger Clyde satchel. Media outlets are reporting the designer issued a cease and [...]
- Carlos Falchi Kite Bag | Luxurious White Caiman Crocodile Handbag - 2011-08-16 04:58:38-04
Allow me to fantasize for a bit, to pretend that I have a bulging bank account and that I live in a grime free world. Because if I did live in the land of my imagination, I'd snap up this Carlos Falchi Kite Bag. This bag is all about that gorgeous Caiman fuscus crocodile. It shines [...]

As with all Baggu bags, the vibrant Caitlin Mociun designs [...]
- CC Skye Onie Satchel | Celebrity Favorite Convertible Snake Embossed Messenger - 2011-08-16 06:42:40-04
CC Skye gives us exotic good looks without the four-figure price tag with this Onie satchel. If this bag looks familiar, you might be a fan of the fashion pages. Pop princess Katy Perry and former reality TV star Olivia Palermo have both been spotted stepping out with the Onie. And why not? This convertible satchel [...]
- Burberry Metallic Cracked Leather Wristlet | Cool Textured Pewter Clutch - 2011-08-16 23:26:14-04
Burberry is a line of impeccable taste. Their stalwart conservative days are over, though, and the line's designs are taking a much more fashion forward stance. This cracked leather wristlet is a great example of how they've been able to combine their classic good looks with a more modern sensibility. This pewter cracked leather is absolutely [...]
- Chinese Laundry Crossroads Tote | Studded Red PVC Carryall Bag - 2011-08-17 02:53:56-04
An assortment of studs helps this simple Crossroads tote from Chinese Laundry pop. The combination of synthetic covered studs and bare metal is interesting. I'm not sure I'm entirely sold on the mix, but it's a lot fresher than the usual selection of silver accents. Perhaps I'd be more enthusiastic if the studs were arranged a [...]
- Juicy Couture's Glam Fall Advertisement | Raquel Zimmermann Fronts Colorful Commercial - 2011-08-17 03:44:13-04
Juicy Couture is celebrating its youthful side with its colorful fall 2011 advertising campaign. Famed fashion photographers Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shot the ad in New York City with Brazilian model Raquel Zimmermann. The advertising campaign is somewhat appropriately called "Couture is Here." Well with all that color and movement, that fact was never [...]
- Chloe Patty Shopper Tote | Two-Tone Brown Flap Leather Handbag - 2011-08-17 04:55:37-04
I've been impressed by Chloe's diffusion label, but every now and then I crave a little more luxury. This Patty shopper from the fashion house's signature brand definitely hits the spot. This shopper oozes sophistication. Its two-tone flap brings just a hint of contemporary flair to the traditional structured design. I love the way the brassy [...]

- Chocolate Beth Hobo | Flower Covered Sage Green Handbag - 2011-08-17 06:12:51-04
Chocolate delivers a floral handbag with real depth with this Beth hobo. I really appreciate the way that Chocolate builds up this bag, working with three dimensions to create a garden that really pops. I'm not entirely happy with all the blooms though. The structured water lily like flowers are so neat and gorgeous, but those [...]
- 3.1 Phillip Lim Lynus Mini Envelope Leather Shoulder Bag | Posh Red Rabbit Trimmed Handbag - 2011-08-17 22:08:34-04
Phillip Lim makes his place in the fashion world at the corner of minimal and upper crust. This Lynus shoulder bag is a great example of the line's signature aesthetic. The lipstick red leather on the Lynus is impossible to ignore. I love it when red is just right, and this red is absolutely spot on [...]
- Christian Louboutin Anastasia Clutch | Natural Brown Fox Fur Evening Purse - 2011-08-18 02:59:09-04
PETA will be none too pleased about it, but Christian Louboutin serves up real fur with this luxurious Anastasia clutch. While synthetic varieties have come a long way in recent years, there's still something so opulent about genuine fur. I'm dying to bury my face in this clutch and just lap up that plush finish. Louboutin's [...]

- Clara Kasavina Suzy Clutch | Exotic Python Purse with Bow Clasp - 2011-08-18 04:29:02-04
Clara Kasavina abandons her usual intricate metal work for this python Suzy clutch. Python is arguably more luxurious than metal, but funnily enough this clutch doesn't feel as special as her usual handiwork. That natural mottled python skin is lovely, but I feel like I've seen it all before. The rounded off, structured shape is classic [...]
- Hemyca Designs Charity Bag | British Luxury Fashion Line Fundraises for Age UK - 2011-08-18 05:46:01-04
Luxury label Hemyca has created an affordable limited edition handbag to benefit British charity Age UK. The pretty velvet purse is adorned with rose details and available in ruby red and sapphire blue. These jewel tones are perfect for the fall weather ahead, and the handbag's gothic vibe is also right on trend. Hemyca's luxury items generally [...]
- Cleobella Hudson Clutch | Studded Tribal Envelope Leather Purse - 2011-08-18 06:02:45-04
Cleobella brings a contemporary edge to tribal fashion with this Hudson clutch. The zig zag print is popular on ethnic themed accessories, but I've never seen it made with studs. The colored metal discs take this African inspired purse into the urban jungle. I really like the way they modernize the angular lines. I'm not always [...]
- Coach Flagship Leather Dowel Flap Handbag | Sophisticated Red Convertible Shoulder Bag - 2011-08-19 02:57:57-04
It's been some time since I've swooned over Coach, but the label has me in raptures with its Flagship Leather Dowel Flap handbag. The bag sees Coach returning to its roots, celebrating classic designs which are clean and refined. I love the buttery softness of the tumbled leather, and all those elegant curves. The bold curry [...]

- Coccinelle Beatrix Tote | Medium Bow Decorated Black Leather Handbag - 2011-08-19 04:05:44-04
Coccinelle adds a dash of femininity to the classic black tote with the Beatrix. The knotted trim along the top really is the star of the show. It looks almost like a bow, but it's just abstract enough to ensure it doesn't alienate the tough girls. Its softness is complemented by gentle pleating and the subtle [...]
- Effa Designs Python & Crocodile Clutches | Saudi Arabian Couture Designer Debuts Handbag Collection - 2011-08-19 05:02:48-04

- Cole Haan Jade Satchel | Capetown Nubuck Leopard Print Bag - 2011-08-19 06:39:54-04
A classic satchel shape in a black color doesn't sound too exciting, does it? But Cole Haan shows us the potential in these traditional elements with this Jade satchel. The Jade has been a staple of the Cole Haan line for years. But it's never turned my head, until now. The secret is that Capetown treatment, [...]
- Coloriffics Boca Crepe Clutch | White Ribbon Accented Bridal Purse - 2011-08-20 02:22:49-04
Why spend hundreds, or even thousands, on a purse for your big day? After all, this Boca Crepe bag from Coloriffics costs just $49! Happily it doesn't just have price on its side. This clutch really is lovely, with its criss-cross ribbon accenting its clean, front flap style. The diamond shaped rhinestone at the center of [...]
- Jen Mascali's Remember Tote | NYC Designer Marks 9/11 Tenth Anniversary - 2011-08-20 03:06:22-04
New York City based designer Jen Mascali is commemorating the upcoming tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks with the release of this Remember bag. Thankfully the Remember bag looks quite tasteful, with its patent red leather finish and contrasting straps. A leather flame accent is stamped with the words "Each life is a miracle that [...]
- Comme des Garcons Polka Dot Pouch | Purple Embossed Leather Clutch - 2011-08-20 04:16:35-04
Comme des Garcons serves up a fun take on classic polka dots with this embossed purse. Designers have been embossing leather for ages, adding texture and mimicking exotic skins. So perhaps it was only a matter of time before someone decided to stamp spots into the cowhide! And if anyone was going to do it, it [...]
- H&M Collaborates with Leigh Lezark | Model Curates New Collection for UK - 2011-08-20 05:53:37-04
H&M has brought us some amazing collaborations in recent years, including diffusion lines with Lanvin and Jimmy Choo. However its next designer project will be a much smaller affair. The affordable retailer is currently working with model and Misshapes DJ Leigh Lezark. If you're asking yourself who, don't worry. While Lezark isn't a household name, her [...]
- Cynthia Vincent Strauss Tote | Military Style Black Leather Carryall - 2011-08-21 02:27:46-04
Cynthia Vincent gives a basic black tote some military finesse with the Strauss. Leather strapping on either side of this simply shaped tote create a modern military feel. Tarnished golden studs set these elegant accents off nicely. These straps have a subtle polish which creates a gentle contrast to the Strauss' more muted black body. I appreciate [...]
- Kirsten James' Eco-Friendly Fabric Bags | From NASA to Fashion - 2011-08-21 22:13:38-04
Clearly Kirsten James ascribes to the theory that if you want a job done right, you need to do it yourself. This former NASA engineer forged a new career in accessories when she couldn't find the right diaper bag for her new baby. It was a dramatic profession change, but her move into the fashion [...]
- Dan W Parquet Stud Hobo | Large Sophisticated Black Bag - 2011-08-22 00:47:15-04
Studs have never been more sophisticated than the delicate ones covering the Parquet Stud Hobo from Dan W. Ordinarily metal brings a healthy dose of attitude to the design, but here the accents are much more reserved. The tiny pinheads dot the criss-cross embossed leather, creating a unique kind of plaid. I've never seen anything like [...]
- Buy Fair Trade with Nkuku | Tribal Bags & More from India & Africa - 2011-08-22 01:45:33-04
The handiwork of traditional artists in Africa and India is showcased through the eco-friendly, fair trade label Nkuku. The company came about when its creators spent a year traveling and working around Africa and India. During their travels they met artisans with incredible skills living in poor conditions. They worked to develop the skills of the [...]
- Diane Von Furstenberg Silk Road Tote | Red Classic Netting Accented Polyester Twill Handbag - 2011-08-22 02:31:05-04
Polyester twill and silky netting aren't the fabrics that fashion dreams are made of, but Diane von Furstenberg gets the most from these materials with her Silk Road tote. I really love the way that the soft silky netting and patent leather trim helps to define this Silk Road's structured shape. The red color gives the [...]
- Flat Bags from Bike Tubes | Canadian Biker Makes Recycled Handbags - 2011-08-22 03:09:51-04
Keen mountain biker Shannon Hames found a use for all the punctured inner tire tubes that littered her home when she launched Flat Bags.

"We need [...]
- Diesel Noise of Warrior Thump Cross-Body Bag | Pink Nylon Purse with Braided Strap - 2011-08-22 04:37:27-04
It's got a tough name, but this playful pink Noise of Warrior Thump cross-body from Diesel is a bit of a pussycat. Perhaps it gets its manly moniker from its durable nylon fabric, which should withstand the harsh punishment of daily life more than most. Its shape is also androgynous and minimalist, without any frills or [...]
- Maria Buzina's Quirky Canvas Bags | Unusual Recycled Truck Tarp Purses - 2011-08-22 05:49:54-04

She tried several before settling [...]
