Hi mary,

Check out the latest handbag fashion news and review at BagBunch.com:
  1. Reed Krakoff Kick Boxer Leather And Snakeskin Bag | Extraordinary And Elegant Shoulder Bag - 2011-07-26 00:35:40-04
    You may not have heard Reed Krakoff's name until recently, but you've seen his designs for Coach for years. And with designs like the Kick Boxer, you'll definitely be hearing his name years into the future. The material on the Kick Boxer is amazing. I happen to be partial to snakeskin, but even if you're not, [...]
  2. Big Buddha Saddle Messenger | Pink Studded Embossed Leatherette Handbag - 2011-07-26 01:05:54-04
    Big Buddha delivers Western style, and just a hint of edge, with this Saddle messenger bag. The embossed flourishes and contrast stitching around the uniquely shaped flap give the Saddle its country character. It's no hick though. The turnlock closure has been one of the most popular clasps in recent seasons, and its neutral colors are [...]
  3. DKNY Textured Leather Shoulder Bag | Simple And Practical Black Tote - 2011-07-26 01:30:13-04
    DKNY isn't the most extravagant line out there, nor is it the most original. Their talent lies in creating affordable, stylish bags of good quality that are consistent with today's trends. This textured leather shoulder bag is a great example of this. The textured black leather on this tote gives it a softened, casual look. With [...]
  4. Inge Christopher Donatella Minaudiere | Lizard Embossed Petrol Leather Box Clutch - 2011-07-26 02:05:45-04
    Inge Christopher shows us that a minaudiere doesn't have to be covered in crystals to attract attention with its Donatella purse. The Donatella isn't as showy as many minaudieres, but that doesn't make it any less striking. This midnight shade is so dark that it's almost black, a color that makes the lizard embossed skin seem [...]
  5. Fair Trade Bags from Project Have Hope | Initiative Empowers African Artisans - 2011-07-26 03:05:16-04
    Fair trade organization Project Have Hope is helping skilled women from Uganda's Acholi Quarter take their handiwork to the masses. From its early days selling hand-rolled paper beads five years ago, the project has grown to feature backpacks, yoga bags, headbands, homewares, and jewelry. The accessories and homewares created reflect the African communities where they were [...]
  6. Orla Kiely Posy Cross-Body | Striking Brown Leather Mini Purse - 2011-07-26 04:05:07-04
    I thought Orla Kiely was all about colorful retro prints on canvas, but the designer's proved me wrong with this striking Posy purse. It's like nothing I've ever seen before, and there's not a hint of patterned flowers in sight. I'm bowled over by the over-sized leather buckle detail on this small purse. I'm not sure [...]
  7. Unique Hide Handbags | One of a Kind American Luxury Purses - 2011-07-26 05:05:08-04
    In this world of mass-produced fashion, it's not often that we can say that a handbag is truly one of a kind. The purses from Hide Handbags, the label developed by Adrienne Herro, enjoy being some of the few exceptions to this contemporary rule. Fashion design is clearly in Herro's blood. Some of her earliest memories [...]
  8. Burberry Metallic Leather Small Clutch | Sweet And Petite Gold Wristlet - 2011-07-26 13:58:29-04
    Burberry used to be known for their preppy, traditional aesthetics. Of course they still make all their classic check accessories, but now their styles are more contemporary classic than conservative. This metallic leather wristlet is a great example of their modern style. The gold leather on this clutch is eye-catching and exciting. The gently weathered texture [...]
  9. Jimmy Choo Carine Crocodile Effect And Calf Hair Clutch | Doubly Exotic Evening Bag - 2011-07-26 17:54:18-04
    Jimmy Choo is amazing. How does he make such dramatically posh designs with such widespread appeal? It's a mystery to me. This Carine clutch is spectacular. The Carine has a double whammy of exotic textures. The ultra cool main primary material is leopard spotted calf hair, which is pretty luxe all on its own. Combined with [...]
  10. Fossil Jesse Patchwork Tote | Bright Colored Tribal Handbag - 2011-07-26 22:47:06-04
    In general if you asked me my opinion about patchwork bags, I'd tell you they're passé. They've had their day in the sun, but in 2011 they're just not chic. The Jesse from Fossil does nothing to convince me that patchwork has become sophisticated, but funnily enough I love it anyway! After all, the Jesse's not [...]
  11. Alexander Wang Angela Pouchette | Small Black Leather Bag - 2011-07-27 02:05:39-04
    I often gush about Alexander Wang's accessories on BagBunch, but when the designer continues to churn out purses as stylish as this Angela Pouchette, what's a girl to do? Pouchettes are often buttoned up evening purses, but not the Angela. It has a cool, urban look which really sets it apart. The buttery black pebbled leather [...]
  12. Ghurka Opens Second New York Store | Sherry Netherland Hotel Hosts Flagship Outlet - 2011-07-27 03:05:20-04
    Ghurka is set to capitalize on its recent recording-making run on ShopNBC by opening a new luxury boutique on New York's prestigious Fifth Avenue. It is the fashion house's second Manhattan location, with the other being at The Plaza Retail Collection. The leather luggage and handbag label will soon set up shop at the Sherry Netherland [...]
  13. Juicy Couture Retro Floral Tote | Gray Coated Canvas Flower Handbag - 2011-07-27 04:05:14-04
    Once upon a time we could count on Juicy Couture accessories to be made of velour, covered in rhinestones, and very, very pink. But that's not always the case these days, as the label flexes its creative muscle in new ways. This Retro Floral Tote is part of the new breed. I wouldn't say this tote [...]
  14. Mulberry Carter The New It Bag | Celebrities Love British Label's Latest Purse - 2011-07-27 05:05:24-04
    It seems that there's a new It Bag in town. While the term almost faded from the lexicon following the global financial crisis, the Mulberry Carter bag has been spotted on the arms of too many celebrities to ignore. The Carter bags have only just hit Mulberry stores, but already Kirsten Dunst, Kate Bosworth, Emma Watson, [...]
  15. Vera Bradley Microfiber Saddle Bag | Navy Fabric Shoulder Purse - 2011-07-27 06:05:22-04
    They say that a leopard can't change its spots, but clearly no one told Vera Bradley. The label was once known for fairly kitschy fabric purses, but in recent seasons it's dabbled with more fashion forward designs. With this saddle bag from Vera Bradley's Microfiber Collection, the label's shown us a new level of sophistication. Gone [...]
  16. Jil Sander Origami Folded Leather Clutch | Superbly Minimal Orange Evening Bag - 2011-07-27 20:33:11-04
    Jil Sander is a pretty low profile line. Much like other minimalists, she doesn't flood the market with a bunch of different designs. She makes a few cool accessories in different colors and materials and leaves it at that. This Origami clutch makes minimal look totally irresistible. The orange color of this leather can best be [...]
  17. Burberry Slouchy Oversized Leather Tote | Oddly Chic Giant Khaki Shoulder Bag - 2011-07-28 00:00:40-04
    Burberry has been so impressive, lately. I am becoming a major fan of this very classic, but still contemporary, line. This slouchy oversized tote is a little dramatically oversized for my taste, but I know a lot of women would kill to own it. The soft olive color of this tote is kind of magical. I [...]
  18. Alexander McQueen De Manta Printed Twill Clutch | Elegant Sculptural Evening Bag - 2011-07-28 01:30:27-04
    McQueen's DeManta bags is pretty extraordinary. I'm not sure what "de manta" means except that it seems to be in the name of a lot of European port cities, but all the bags share these beautifully turned down corners. This printed clutch version is the most beautiful and unique of the bunch. Printed twill doesn't really [...]
  19. B. Makowsky Varick Satchel | Zip Pocket Black Leather Handbag - 2011-07-28 02:39:52-04
    I've always found B. Makowsky to be an uneven designer, one that produced some good purses but could never be relied upon. However I think he's gotten things right with this Varick satchel. The Varick has a fairly traditional satchel shape, but its hardware gives it a contemporary punch. I love the look of those angled [...]
  20. HEX's New Laptop & Tablet Bags | Recon & Varsity Handbags for Tech Lovers - 2011-07-28 03:05:14-04
    HEX, a division of August Accessories, is preparing to launch its first line of handbags. The label made a splash with its iPod Nano watchbands, so it makes sense that its new purses also have a technology focus. Two collections will make up the first HEX handbag line: the casual Recon and more luxurious Varsity. Both [...]
  21. Jimmy Choo Scarlet Printed Glazed Canvas Tote | Colorful But Busy Carryall - 2011-07-28 04:00:08-04
    Oh, Jimmy Choo, why are you doing this to me? Usually, I have such nice things to say about Choo's designs, but this is definitely an exception. This glazed canvas tote is overpriced, busy, and honestly, kind of tacky. The print on the Scarlet's material is what's really killing me here. It's a collage of astrological [...]
  22. Roberto Cavalli Croc-Effect Leather Tote | Stunning Brown Faux Reptile Bag - 2011-07-28 07:00:18-04
    I haven't seen any new Cavalli bags for months, but boy am I glad I waited for this one. It's a pretty crucial combination of sleek styling and exotic materials. Who could ask for more? I'm always complaining about faux exotic materials. They so seldom make the grade. This croc effect leather, however is better than [...]
  23. Adidas By Stella McCartney Shell Shoulder Bag | Cool Electric Blue Nylon Gym Bag - 2011-07-28 13:00:31-04
    I have been pretty openly dubious about Stella McCartney's collection, but I almost always love her designs for Adidas. The Shell is definitely no exception. I'm really excited by its combination of beauty and utility. The blue nylon material on the Shell is a winner, across the board. The color is bright and beautiful and very [...]
  24. Jimmy Choo Catherine Calf Hair And Leather Tote | Strikingly Chic Animal Print Satchel - 2011-07-28 13:54:29-04
    I've felt a little back and forth about Jimmy Choo this season. But this Catherine calf hair and leather satchel is a seriously posh way to add a little pop of drama to your daily wardrobe. The Catherine combines textures and materials beautifully. The smoothness of the black leather contrasts with the furry appeal of the [...]
  25. Jil Sander Suede Duffle Bag | Perfectly Streamlined Suede Luggage - 2011-07-28 15:53:07-04
    Stop the presses. I'm in love with this bag. I wish I traveled more so that I could justify the slightly less than friendly price tag. In any case, this suede duffle is totally minimal and totally cool. Black suede is one of those materials that either makes me think rock-n-roll or boho. Somehow [...]
  26. Marc Jacobs The Bowery Two-Tone Leather Tote | Urban Brown On Brown Bowler - 2011-07-28 21:58:00-04
    Marc Jacobs is such an American powerhouse. How can you not love a man who manages to be both clean cut and covered in tattoos? His personal style definitely trickles down to his design aesthetic, which is classic and edgy at the same time. This Bowery tote embodies his style perfectly. The two-tone leather on this [...]
  27. Kyle Richards Readies Handbag Collection | "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Star Designs Bags - 2011-07-29 00:05:33-04
    Kyle Richards is following the lead of her reality TV sisters Carolina Manzo and Gretchen Rossi and creating her own handbag line. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star plans to have her purses on shelves this spring. With so many bags shrinking these days, it's interesting to note that Kyle Richards' bags will be oversized. [...]
  28. Nine West Turn the Corner Shoulder Bag | Chic Small Synthetic Purse - 2011-07-29 00:13:59-04
    At its worst Nine West is a derivative label that makes barely veiled designer replicas in tacky, cheap materials. But at its best the fashion house delivers really stylish handbags that cost far less than their competitors. The label might be inconsistent, but when it gets it right as it does with this Turn the [...]
  29. Adidas Reilly Sling Bag | Black & Pink Sports Bag - 2011-07-29 00:58:56-04
    Frankly I love gym bags just about as much as I love the gym, which is something like the way I love brussel sprouts and squealing children. However just like exercise, a sports bag like this is a necessary evil, and one that's made much more appealing when it has bold pink accents. Those pink flashes [...]
  30. B. Makowsky Alexis Drawstring Shopper | Slashed Mustard Leather Chain Handbag - 2011-07-29 02:05:37-04
    Remember when I wrote yesterday about the inconsistency of B. Makowsky's handbag collection? I should have known as I was singing the Varick satchel's praises it wouldn't be too long before the designer disappointed me. And he has with this Alexis shopper. Like too many B. Makowsky bags, the Alexis is one of those accessories that [...]
  31. Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Ready More Affordable Handbags | Elizabeth & James Purses from Celebrity Twins - 2011-07-29 03:05:17-04
    If the opulent purses from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's The Row line were too rich for your blood, you're in luck. The stylish sisters are adding handbags to their more affordable Elizabeth and James collection. Neiman Marcus announced the good news with the tweet "Full @ElizandJames report coming up. Here's a scoop: they're launching handbags next [...]
  32. Cole Haan Kendra Tote | East-West Style Snake Printed Leather Handbag - 2011-07-29 04:05:11-04
    Cole Haan delivers all of the polish of a snakeskin handbag without the four-figure price tag with this Kendra tote. All too often exotic embossing can go awry, creating a finish which is far less luxurious than it should look. Thankfully that's not the case here. Cole Haan has cleverly used earthy neutrals to create its [...]
  33. Ed Hardy Quiana Carry On Bag | Skull Printed Quilted Cotton Travel Handbag - 2011-07-29 06:18:13-04
    If nothing else, Ed Hardy knows how to create a handbag that stands out. It nails that brief again with this Quiana carry on bag. Travel bags are often quite bland, so I appreciate Ed Hardy for providing a point of difference. But I'm not altogether sold on the design. The skull printed cotton is very [...]
  34. Eco-Friendly Beau Soleil Bags | Reduce, Recycle, Renew Totes & Clutches - 2011-07-30 05:05:03-04
    Anne Salvatore Epstein combines New York City style with her new sustainable outlook on life with her eco-friendly fashion label, Beau Soleil. The Big Apple based designer found her priorities shifting when she became pregnant with her first child in 2005. And so she traded in her "overly excessive" existence for a much simpler one. She [...]
  35. Proenza Schouler PS11 Textured Leather Clutch | Classic Urban Black Wristlet - 2011-07-30 17:35:50-04
    Proenza Schouler's signature minimalist design sensibility has won them many fans. The PS line was long-awaited, and now that it's out, people are snatching it up. This season's PS11 bags are a fabulous addition to the line. This clutch, in particular, is a beautifully sleek way to add to your evening wardrobe. The black leather on [...]
  36. Fossil Vintage Re-Issue Turnlock Cross-Body Bag | Classic Tan Leather Handbag - 2011-07-30 22:04:29-04
    I've always found Fossil's contemporary collections a bit hit and miss, so I'm thrilled that it's gone back into the vault and reinvented many of its classic designs with its Vintage Re-Issue range. Bags like this Turnlock Cross-Body are the reason why I'm so enamored with this line. Turnlock closures have come back into favor in [...]
  37. Audrey & Emma's Purse Protectors | Louis Vuitton & Longchamp Liners Prevent Bag Sag - 2011-07-30 22:44:24-04
    Fledgling company Audrey & Emma look to solve a handbag problem I wasn't even aware of with their new handbag liners and bases. These innovative products help Louis Vuitton and Longchamp lovers eliminate the dreaded "bag sag." Company founder Elissa West explains that bag sag is the dumpy appearance of a well designed, but poorly packed, [...]
  38. Juicy Couture Sequin Stripe $ Pieces Wristlet | Striped Red Velour Heart Decorated Purse - 2011-07-30 23:49:48-04
    After seeing so many stylish but relatively staid accessories from Juicy Couture, it's refreshing to see the label hasn't forgotten its sense of fun. This Sequin Stripe $ Pieces purse is classic Juicy, with its whimsical style and injection of bling. This wristlet is made from Juicy Couture's favorite fabric: velour. This soft red material is [...]
  39. Giuliana Rancic Readies HSN Collection | Latest Celebrity Designed Fashion Line - 2011-07-31 00:59:21-04
    Italian-born television personality and actress Giuliana Rancic is preparing to add fashion designer to her already extensive resume with the launch of her clothing and accessories line for HSN. Rancic says her collection will feature up to twelve pieces, including three handbags and a deconstructed leatherette jacket. By using faux leather rather than the real thing, [...]
  40. Amy Butler Mallory Coin Purse | Blue Organic Cotton Kiss-Lock Pouch - 2011-07-31 21:48:02-04
    Some pretty patterns helps set this Mallory coin purse from Amy Butler apart. Amy Butler offers us an impressive 11 prints, but I think this cotton vine navy one is my favorite. Given its name I guess those pale yellow shapes are heads of cotton, but they're so abstract that they could easily be mistaken for [...]
  41. Theory's Andrew Rosen Buys Into Proenza Schouler | Investor Takes Permira Stake in American Fashion Label - 2011-07-31 23:19:52-04
    London-based mergers and acquisitions company Permira has sold its stake in Proenza Schouler to a team of investors led by Theory chief executive officer Andrew Rosen and his business partner John Howard. Permira bought Valentino Fashion Group, including its 45% share of Proenza Schouler, in 2007. Rumors have swirled for the last year that Permira was [...]
  42. Kensie Girl Cute as a Button Cross-Body Bag | Adorable Military Style Brown Purse - 2011-07-31 23:49:57-04
    Kensie Girl delivers a playful take on the military trend with its Cute as a Button cross-body bag. This is one of those rare bags that lives up to its name. I think it's positively adorable, and definitely cute as a button, with its shiny metal accents and irregular pleats. The synthetic body isn't as soft [...]
  43. Schoolbags for Kids Donates Backpacks to Needy Children | Charitable New Accessories Brand - 2011-08-01 00:30:22-04

The company's founders Kalon Gutierrez and Luis Garcia met while working for luxury fashion houses in New [...]
  44. Carla Mancini Dylan Tote | Tall Gray Wash Leather Handbag - 2011-08-01 02:05:46-04
    Gray has been the new black for a while, and it doesn't get more gorgeous than the shade chosen for Carla Mancini's Dylan tote. The soft weathered finish on this buttery leather tote is really lovely. It's such a gentle hue that it should be able to work its way into your warm weather and winter [...]
  45. Apolis Organic Cotton Totes | Green Bags Help Ugandan Farmers - 2011-08-01 03:45:11-04
    Apolis has launched a line of bags to help farmers in Uganda. The Field and Philanthropist totes are both crafted from organic cotton grown by the African country's farmers. Uganda was once a cotton farming powerhouse, but the nation's agricultural industry began to decline when civil war broke out during the 70s. Sadly Uganda's farming sector, [...]
  46. Zara Terez Precinct Holster Cross-Body Bag | Minimalist Orange Leather Handbag - 2011-08-01 04:18:08-04
    We've admired Zara Terez's clutch purses, but with the Precinct Holster Bag we see what she can do on a larger scale. I've got to say, I'm impressed. This unique purse is simple, but so effective. Its asymmetrical design flap and top really make it feel like a gun holster, although you'll be able to fit [...]

  48. Paco Mena Duprea Clutch | Affordable Blue Satin Crystal Accented Purse - 2011-08-01 06:21:04-04
    Paco Mena only appeared on my radar recently, but since discovering the brand I've been impressed by its elegant but affordable evening purses. This Duprea clutch is another shining example from the range. This is a lovely looking purse, with its sophisticated pleating and rich satiny finish. The row of crystals and beads provides just the [...]
