- Diane Von Furstenberg Drew Linen Bucket Tote | Chic Geometric Print Satchel - 2011-08-22 20:33:29-04
Diane Von Furstenberg definitely has a way with prints. Since the 70s, she's made geometric patterns that stand the test of time and stay stylish for generations. This Drew linen bucket tote is an eye-catching, but timeless accessory. The black and white printed linen on the Drew is awesome. I love the loose weave of the [...]
- Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Leather Tote | Bright And Summery Woven Carryall - 2011-08-22 21:34:06-04
No one does woven leather like Bottega Veneta. I know that just sounds like my opinion, but I'm pretty sure it's a documented fact. This great Intrecciato tote is proof. This is one of the most interesting woven bags I've ever seen. The strips of leather that compose the weave are perforated, which adds a lot [...]
- DKNY Town & Country Tote | Large Signature Handbag with Colored Scarf - 2011-08-22 23:26:47-04
DKNY embraces classic handbag design with this traditional Town & Country tote. There's a time and place for tradition, of course, but I think it's also important for handbag designers to know when to move on. And the time has well and truly come to step away from drab, signature printed purses. The all-over print tells [...]
- Lanvin Happy Popla Satin Clutch | Underwhelming Quilted Brown Clutch - 2011-08-23 01:01:04-04
I am a giant fan of Lanvin. They are, after all, the oldest couture house in Paris. All that being said, this Popla clutch is a serious snooze fest. I'm so disappointed in this bastion of French fashion. I think it's the quilted brown satin that's making me feel so resentful. Sure, I know it's satin, [...]
- Dolce & Gabbana Miss Escape Star Tote | Boring Black Patent Leather Handbag - 2011-08-23 02:10:09-04
Who would have thought a tote covered in stars could be so boring? Dolce & Gabbana shows that even a design house of exceptional pedigree makes the occasional misstep with this Miss Escape Star tote. It's not that the Miss Escape Star is a bad tote; it's just so pedestrian. White stars against an inky black [...]
- Marc Jacobs Rumored for Dior | Phoebe Philo In Line for Louis Vuitton - 2011-08-23 03:11:04-04
Marc Jacobs has emerged as the top pick to take over John Galliano's vacant creative director post at Dior. It's an about face from the last bout of rumors doing the rounds. They suggested that LVMH head Bernard Arnault would instate an up and coming creative talent, rather than a big name designer. However fashion's names [...]
- Donald J Pliner Berit Cross-Body Bag | Small Bold Aqua Piping Purse - 2011-08-23 04:09:57-04
Bold citrus yellow piping helps this Berit cross-body bag from Donald J Pliner really pop. The combination of this shocking hue and pale aqua blue leather is very unexpected, but that's exactly why I like it. Who wants to be predictable? On a more outrageous bag it might have seemed too much, but the colored leather [...]
- Cayetano Legacy Collection Ready Purses | Sisters Give Back to Philippines - 2011-08-23 05:29:33-04
The sisters from Cayetano Legacy Collection are preparing to launch a handbag collection, hot on the heels of their recently released debut jewelry line. Karen Cayetano Leano, Christine Cayetano Brigino, and Gail Cayetano celebrate their Filipino heritage with the label. All accessories are made by the nation's citizens using native island materials. Cayetano Legacy Collection only launched [...]
- Donna Sharp Mini Connie Bag | Provence Patterned Fabric Patchwork Purse - 2011-08-23 06:40:03-04
Donna Sharp serves up more of the same, but on a smaller scale than we've seen, with this Mini Connie bag. There's nothing wrong with clinging so fiercely to a design vision, of course. It's a great way to build brand loyalty, as fans can rely on you to deliver accessories they love. However, when it [...]
- Dooney & Bourke Florentine Satchel | Classic Vachetta Leather Carryall Bag - 2011-08-24 02:45:16-04
Dooney & Bourke shows it's done some growing up recently with this sophisticated Florentine satchel. This elegant creature is a world away from the rainbow colored signature bags and Disney collaborations I've come to associate with this youth label. Here it shows a much more adult side, choosing natural brown leather and a classic satchel silhouette [...]
- Louis Vuitton Launches Enchanted India Interactive Video | New Racist Ad Campaign Shuns Indian Models - 2011-08-24 03:15:02-04
Louis Vuitton's love affair with India continues with the release of its new Enchanted India Interactive ad campaign. The interactive video is a lavish production with director Carter Smith at the helm. The video takes us around the city of Jaipur and across its famous Amber Fort. The beautiful backdrop is the ideal showcase for Louis [...]
- Ed Hardy Filina Satchel | Studded Blue Suede Fringe Shoulder Bag - 2011-08-24 04:30:56-04
Ed Hardy accessories rarely float my boat, but the loud label's come a little closer to pleasing me than usual with the Filina satchel. I'm certainly not head over heels, but there's a certain charm to the blue suede fringing and matching chunky handles. Washed canvas does a passable denim impersonation as it peeks out from [...]
- Tela Bags Teams with IKEA | New Purses Recycle Furniture Catalogs - 2011-08-24 05:05:19-04
Portugese eco-friendly accessories label Tela Bags has teamed up with IKEA to create its quirky new special collection. The range's totes, zipper-topped cosmetic pouches, and wallets are all made from old IKEA catalogs! The IKEA line is the latest of Tela Bags "special collections," an initiative which sees the accessories label teaming up with department stores, [...]
- Eenamaria Saddle Bag | Studded Black Synthetic Shoulder Purse - 2011-08-24 06:34:33-04
The days of bold retro colors seem to be far behind Eenamaria. The formerly quirky accessories label seems to have tamed its creative vision in recent seasons. This black studded Saddle Bag is typical of the new breed. I talk of those good old days of Eenamaria with yearning, and even now try hard to find [...]
- Gucci Leather Messenger Bag | Weathered Boho Brown Shoulder Bag - 2011-08-24 19:29:14-04
I think it's really interesting that the fashion world has heard very little from Gucci in the past five years or so, but now that it's come back, it's made a distinct return to its roots. The classic equestrian preppy Gucci look is in full swing on this leather messenger bag. I feel a little back [...]
- Jil Sander Two-Tone Leather Clutch | Hip Red And Blue Foldover Bag - 2011-08-24 21:30:47-04
I love minimalists. They always restrain themselves to releasing just a few accessories and leave it at that. Jil Sander is no exception, and this two-tone leather clutch shows off her signature clean style in a pretty remarkable way. The colors on this clutch make my heart go pitter patter. They are so well-chosen, just a [...]
- Elaine Turner April Tote | Honey Structured Barrel Weave Handbag - 2011-08-25 02:07:30-04
Elaine Turner takes us back to the beach with this woven April tote bag. I've seen many woven tote bags in my time, including several from the Elaine Turner stable, but none quite like this. The external pockets give it a striking structure which I find really interesting. Perhaps they look a little tacked on, but [...]
- Sam Edelman Adds Handbags | Footwear Label Launches Purses for Spring 2012 - 2011-08-25 03:13:28-04
Footwear queen Sam Edelman is expanding her fashion empire with the launch of a handbag collection next spring. This kind of development was promised when Brown Shoe Co. took the reins of the label a year ago, and I'm thrilled that purses are the first new addition. The purses will be affordable by designer standards, but [...]
- Etienne Aigner Gentry Tote | Sophisticated Maple Brown Leather Handbag - 2011-08-25 04:06:29-04
Etienne Aigner serves up another dependable handbag with this Gentry tote. The Gentry isn't very fashion forward, but it is super stylish. The rounded bucket shape makes a refreshing change of pace from the typical boxy tote. Its curves are subtly emphasized by elegant stitching. I'm not always a fan of brown bags, but this maple [...]
- Iman Launches Platinum Collection | Model's Mid-Priced HSN Fashion Range - 2011-08-25 05:29:17-04
Ageless supermodel Iman has joined forces with the Home Shopping Network for the release of the Platinum Collection. Despite its luxurious name, the range features mid-priced clothes, handbags, and other accessories. Despite their relatively affordable price tags, every purse from the HSN collection is made from real leather or suede. The buttery skins are rendered in [...]
- Elie Tahari Melody Tote | Basic Dark Blue Denim Handbag - 2011-08-25 06:37:42-04
Elie Tahari embraces minimalist style with this Melody Tote. Totes are rarely as simple as this one. Its dark blue denim is cut in a traditional box shape and silver chain straps are threaded through. There are no ruffles or frills, no sequins or studs, not even a nameplate to break up the expanse of indigo [...]
- Miu Miu Wool Felt Tote | Charming Feminine Grey Handbag - 2011-08-25 07:56:34-04
Miu Miu is sometimes super over-the-top, and sometimes remarkably on point. Fortunately, this wool tote falls into the latter category. It's the very definition of low key feminine charm. The wool felt fabric of the bag is perfect for the style. It's got a sweet softness, but it's also sturdy, and holds the structured look beautifully. [...]
- 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Shark Effect Leather Tote | Extraordinary Streamlined Black tote - 2011-08-25 19:39:28-04
Phillip Lim isn't one of the best known designers out there, but his minimal influence can be seen throughout the fashion kingdom. This Pashli shark effect tote really shows off his clean aesthetic. I don't really understand what "shark effect" means in terms of this material. It's a beautifully textured black leather, but there's nothing particularly [...]
- Ellington Sarah Hobo | Classic Red Stitched Leather Hobo - 2011-08-26 02:44:26-04
Ellington offers a modern twist on the traditional hobo with this Sarah bag. In many ways this is your classic hobo, with its soft slouchy silhouette and relaxed vibe. However it's the modern additions, which add functionality and flair, that help the Sarah stand apart. The shape is more a bucket than a crescent, and that [...]
- Fiorelli Develops New Lines | Handbag Label Adds Youth & Heritage Collections for Spring 2012 - 2011-08-26 03:22:42-04
Fiorelli will add two new handbag collections to its range for spring 2012. The signature line will continue to be its flagship, but it will be complemented by a youth line and another range celebrating the brand's heritage. The signature collection will continue to feature fashion-forward designs in its regular seasonal and cruise offerings. Next season's [...]
- Elliott Lucca Alicante Satchel | Framed Woven White Leather Purse - 2011-08-26 04:21:22-04
Elliott Lucca interprets classic vintage style with this elegant Alicante satchel. This handbag has all the hallmarks of a bygone fashion era, from its structured frame to its delicate clasp. Its woven finish calls to mind the classic designs of Bottega Veneta. This purse costs far less than a Bottega Veneta creation though; while these designer [...]
- Heather Belle's Pretty Little Liars Totes | ABC Family Inspired Quote Bags - 2011-08-26 05:07:40-04
Accessories designer Heather Belle has designed a collection of tote bags and jewelry inspired by ABC Family's teen drama Pretty Little Liars. Rather than mimicking the accessories worn by the program's always fashionable young actresses, the items celebrate the memorable quotes and themes of the dark drama series. Heather Belle's Pretty Little Liars collection features four [...]
- Emilie Sloan Mia Ringlet Wallet | Aqua Art Deco Wristlet - 2011-08-26 06:07:28-04
Emilie Sloan delivers a cute purse for girls who like to travel light with this Mia Ringlet Wallet. It's called a wallet, but its wrist loop and array of pockets makes it much more versatile than the average. Emilie Sloan really packs a lot into a relatively small space. There's a cell phone sleeve and a [...]
- Emilio Pucci Beach Tote | Signature Printed Carry-All Bag - 2011-08-27 02:17:42-04
Take Emilio Pucci's signature style to the shore with this colorful Beach Tote. I really love the psychedelic print that covers this beach tote. I've always admired Pucci's patterns from afar, but been a little nervous to incorporate them into my wardrobe. However when summer rolls around we tend to have a little bit more fun [...]
- Judith Leiber Creates Exclusive Carousel Minaudiere | Purse Raffle for Festival of Children Foundation - 2011-08-27 22:24:58-04
Judith Leiber is creating a very special one-of-a-kind clutch to benefit the Festival of Children Foundation. The clutch purse, which will be made in the image of the foundation's carousel, will be raffled off to benefit the children's charity. The carousel purse will feature 3,000 twinkling Swarovski crystals. With each one applied by hand, that process [...]
- Evans Denim Satchel | Affordable Synthetic Trimmed Blue Purse - 2011-08-28 00:22:00-04
Denim has to be one of my favorite affordable accessory materials. Synthetic often look shiny and cheap, while traditional cottons can appear a bit too casual. However denim manages to be a bit more versatile, seeming relaxed yet luxurious at the same time, so I was thrilled to see it starring on this Evans satchel. Ordinarily [...]
- Man Charged for Selling Cardboard Handbags | Funeral Store Worker Infringes Copyright for Selling Chinese Joss - 2011-08-28 01:08:30-04
A Chinatown store employee in New York City has been charged with two counts of copyright infringement in the third degree after attempting to sell cardboard versions of designer handbags. Wing Sun Mak reportedly attempted to sell three cardboard purses with Burberry logos, and one with a Louis Vuitton insignia. He is an employee at Fook [...]
- Felix Rey Cockatoo Basket Tote | Woven Straw Handbag with Sequin Bird - 2011-08-28 02:27:29-04
Felix Rey embraces its silly side with this fun Cockatoo Basket tote. It goes without saying that this bag isn't for everybody. Its woven straw body is one we've seen many times before this summer, but its sequined cockatoo accent makes it much more fun. That black feathered tail is the cherry on top of a [...]
- Burberry Buckled Leather Hobo Bag | Strappy Maroon Shoulder Bag - 2011-08-28 15:39:40-04
Burberry's designs this season have been really exciting. They've managed to combine their tailored aesthetic with some edgier styles, and the results are truly beautiful. This buckled hobo is the perfect example of what I mean. The maroon leather on this bag is rich and lustrous. It's almost cordovan, which gives it the tiniest hint of [...]
- Yves Saint Laurent Leather And Metallic Clutch | Stunning Luxe Black Envelope Bag - 2011-08-28 21:00:47-04
Yves Saint Laurent is so unimpeachably timeless. It's more than a little impressive that the line has consistently been able to stay relevant for decades. This leather and metallic clutch is a great example of how they've managed to do it. The texture on this clutch has been manipulated expertly. The outer edges have a fine [...]
- Rennes Handcrafted Leather Handbags | European Inspired Handmade Purses - 2011-08-28 23:52:17-04
Seamstress Julia Okun offers an alternative to mass-produced purses with the hand-crafted bags from her line, Rennes. The Boston native is involved in every aspect of the creation process, from drafting the design to completing the final stitch. This hands-on approach ensures that each bag is of exceptional quality, and made with a little bit of [...]
- Fendi Mia Degrade Hobo | Sophisticated Lambskin Leather Purse - 2011-08-29 01:27:45-04
Complementary colors and luxury lambskin help this Fendi Mia Degrade hobo take you from summer into spring, and right through the rest of the year. This is one of those rare purses that remains timeless in spite of the trends. The modern pleated front moves from bone in the center to a rich coffee brown. These [...]
- Tove Emilsson's Boiled Leather Bags | Medieval Folded Hunters Bend Purse - 2011-08-29 01:49:36-04
British designer Tove Emilsson has created modern purses using medieval techniques with his Hunters Bend collection. The line's wallets and spectacle cases seem very contemporary, but they're actually made using an ancient method of manipulating leather. The leather is soaked with boiling water, which makes it pliable. Once it's dried the leather then sets hard in [...]
