- Valentino Jacquard And Leather Tote | Overlogo-ed And Mismatched Designer Carryall - 2011-08-01 22:50:26-04
What in the world is going on here? Valentino may have retired, but the man isn't dead, and he must be absolutely seething about what the new designers are doing with his name. Namely plastering the logo all over jaquard bags. Uninspiringly mismatched bags, at that. For shame, nameless new creative director at Valentino. The V-logo [...]
- Chloe Wristlet Leather Clutch | Small And Sophisticated Black Bag With Gold Bracelet Strap - 2011-08-02 00:00:28-04
Chloe's high class hip aesthetic has won them many fans over the years. Personally, I go back and forth on the brand, but I really like what I'm seeing here. This wristlet is a beautifully sleek bag to carry for almost any evening out. The smooth black leather on this wristlet is as minimal as the [...]
- 7 Chi Mun Ruffle Hobo | Boho Black Leather Fringed Handbag - 2011-08-02 02:48:24-04
It's got a funny name, but the Mun Ruffle Hobo from 7 Chi is actually one of the affordable label's most grown up purses. The use of real leather rather than 7 Chi's favored synthetic helps to make this hobo appear more luxurious than many of its stablemates. It hasn't lost its sense of fun though. [...]
- Gucci Launches New iPod iPad App | Style Application Takes Fans Behind Fashion House - 2011-08-02 03:54:06-04
Gucci is embracing the digital age with the launch of its latest iPad and iPhone app, Gucci Style by Gucci. The app feels like a glossy lifestyle magazine with its focus on strong, well written editorial content in the areas of fashion and culture. It's not just a whole lot of reading though. Gucci has harnessed [...]
- Abas Dylan Cross-Body Bag | Small Red Crocodile Embossed Leather Purse - 2011-08-02 04:05:58-04
Exotic embossed leather is a tricky thing to pull off. Do it right and you can create a skin which looks a million bucks, but costs a lot less. But put a foot wrong and you'll end up with a leather than looks far cheaper than an un-embossed skin would. Thankfully we can always rely [...]
- Jana Matheson Gets Judith Leiber Creative Director Job | Design Consultant Promoted in Business Expansion - 2011-08-02 05:17:12-04
Judith Leiber has promoted its design consultant Jana Matheson to creative director as part of the company's brand expansion. Matheson will now oversee all aspects of design, including the look of the company's famous handbags and its marketing and branding. Matheson says she hopes to give Judith Leiber a more youthful, modern feel while staying true [...]
- Accessorize Edie Double Bow Wallet | Practical Teal Synthetic Purse - 2011-08-02 06:49:18-04
Accessorize serves up classic style with a dash of whimsy with this Edie Double Bow Wallet. Its name might not be so imaginative, but at least this is a purse that delivers just what we expect. It has a simple wallet shape, but it's livened up by the playful teal color and flirty double bow. Often [...]
- Marc By Marc Jacobs Eliza Baby Embroidered Tote | Hot Red Nylon Mommy Bag - 2011-08-02 07:00:46-04
Marc Jacobs definitely brings his signature quirky charm to this Eliza Mommy bag. The bag is so cute that it's going to find a giant childless audience, as well. The red nylon is exactly what a baby bag calls for. The bright color will appeal to mom and baby alike, and is totally washable. The embroidery [...]
- Valentino Rockstud Python Tote | Aptly Named Exotic Satchel - 2011-08-02 20:24:42-04
As soon as I heard the name of this exotic new satchel from Valentino, I knew it was going to be a winner. Rockstud? Seriously? Sold. The python skin on the Rockstud is seriously beautiful. I've never seen such complex coloring on snakeskin. It's truly exotic, and yet the muted tones keep it pretty versatile. Who [...]
- Lanvin Trousee Quilted Leather Shoulder Bag | Simply Iconic Black Leather Bag - 2011-08-02 23:00:58-04
Lanvin' has been making serious waves the past few seasons. It almost seems like they can do no wrong on the fashion front. The accessories line is the perfect balance of classic and cutting edge, and the Trousee is the perfect example of their aesthetic. The combination of textures on the Trousee makes it instantly appealing. [...]
- Adidas Alegra Tote | Pink Cheetah Print Fabric Handbag - 2011-08-03 02:05:57-04
We're all familiar with Adidas' gym bags. They're practical and durable, but sadly they tend to look like gym bags. But with the Alegra Adidas has created a handbag that wouldn't look out of place away from the locker room. In many ways the Alegra is just a stock standard tote, but that's actually the key [...]
- Julianne Moore Models for Talbots | Actress Fronts Fall Advertising Campaign - 2011-08-03 03:24:06-04
Julianne Moore has posed for conservative American fashion retailer Talbots' fall advertising campaign. The flame-haired actress looks at ease in these commercials, and well she should as it's her second season fronting them. The commercials certainly aren't revolutionary, but I think they sell the brand well. Moore might be dressed conventionally in her brown suit, hat, [...]
- Alaia Suede Shoulder Bag | Soft Chocolate Brown Luxury Handbag - 2011-08-03 04:05:54-04
I've often admired Alaia's accessories, but I think that the label's gotten a bit lazy with this Suede Shoulder Bag. This isn't a bad bag, but it is a bit boring. The suede is lovely and soft, but the chocolate brown shade makes it a bit dull. The shape is timeless but also a bit pedestrian. [...]
- Evolve45 Eco-Friendly Handbags | American Green Vegetable Dyed Fashion Purses - 2011-08-03 05:04:31-04
Fashion is evolving, with more designers moving away from traditional leather and exotic skins and embracing eco-friendly alternatives. Evolve45 is one accessories label that embodies that shift towards sustainability. The fashion house is the brainchild of Sara Marston, the daughter of a self-taught furniture designer and craftsman. She originally took a different path and began working [...]
- Aldo Goetter Cross-Body Bag | Pleated Beige Synthetic Convertible Purse - 2011-08-03 06:08:08-04
Aldo has an uncanny knack for interpreting modern trends for less. With this Goetter, the budget fashion house takes on nudes. I must admit, I'm not the biggest fan of a nude color palette. It's very now, but the shades always seem a bit washed out and boring to me. However the hue of the Goetter [...]
- Miu Miu Suede And Leather Shoulder Bag | Surprisingly Elegant Boho Hobo - 2011-08-03 20:10:53-04
I've had a really back and forth relationship with Miu Miu's bags over the past few years. They're usually really expensive and, unfortunately, seldom seem worth it. This leather and suede hobo is expensive, but it's pretty cool if you're into hippie chic and have the pocketbook to back it up. The colors are really well [...]
- See By Chloe Carmen Tweed Satchel | Ho Hum Black & White Shoulder Bag - 2011-08-03 22:30:41-04
See By Chloe is usually one of my favorite lower priced designer lines, but not this season. The Chloe collection has been looking great, but See seems to be suffering from a serious lack of creativity. This Carmen tweed satchel is uninspiring and just plain boring. Houndstooth is kind of a problem right now. It's not [...]
- Proenza Schouler PS1 Keep All Large Leather Bag | Cool Merlot Retro Modern Satchel - 2011-08-04 01:30:45-04
Proenza Schouler isn't one of my personal favorite lines, but their aesthetic is so reliable and minimal that I can't help but respect them. The Keep It All is a truly timeless, beautiful satchel. This merlot color immediately makes me think of the 70's. Like it would go really well with corduroy bell bottoms and a [...]
- Alexander McQueen Chanter Hobo | Blue Suede Studded Handbag - 2011-08-04 02:05:42-04
Alexander McQueen was known as a fashion rebel, but every now and then his legacy label delivers an accessory that's relatively quirk free. There may not be a space in your closet for skull-decorated minaudieres or knuckle duster clutches, but I'm sure we could all use a bright blue hobo like the Chanter. Saturated color is [...]
- Lulu Guinness's New Luggage | Lip Decorated The World is Your Oyster Trolleys & Travel Bags - 2011-08-04 03:05:15-04
Lulu Guinness is making her first foray into the world of travel bags with the launch of luggage range, called The World is Your Oyster, next week. There are two lines in the collection: the upmarket Sealed with a Kiss bags pictured and the more affordable Our Lips are Sealed range. It's easy to see why [...]
- Alexis Hudson Adelaide Clutch | Rose Pink Snake Print Leather Buckle Purse - 2011-08-04 04:05:26-04
Alexis Hudson shows us what happens when you add too many elements to a clutch purse with the Adelaide. There's a lot to like here, but when it's mixed up with so many other features it's hard to appreciate them. The gleaming golden buckles are really lovely. I like the way they make this purse feel [...]
- Salvatore Ferragamo Launches Online Trunk Show | Pre-Order Fall Handbags Tomorrow - 2011-08-04 05:05:56-04
Salvatore Ferragamo will launch its first online trunk show tomorrow, August 5. The virtual display will feature the prestige label's latest ready-to-wear apparel, shoes, and of course, its handbags. The online exhibition features a styling tool which allows customers to mix and match the collection's pieces, to see how they work together. Shoppers can also share [...]
- Alla Leather Art Butterfly Wristlet | Red Soft Leather Purse - 2011-08-04 06:05:48-04
I've admired the buttery soft leather of Alla Leather Art's day bags for some time. Now with the Butterfly wristlet, we see what the label can do on a smaller scale. In short, I'm impressed. This wristlet is fairly simple, but it's sucked me in with its voluminous shape. I can't say that I can see [...]
- Chloe Elsie Leather Shoulder Bag | Subdued Nude Update On A Classic - 2011-08-04 21:43:11-04
I've always sort of liked Chloe's Elsie line, but the material choices haven't been particularly versatile. This new nude update is on trend, colorwise, but totally classic. Nude is a color we've been seeing a lot of, lately. It's kind of the new black. Or maybe the new white? In any case, it's neutral and lovely, [...]
- Valentino Suede Shoulder Bag | Low Key And Ladylike Chestnut Carryall - 2011-08-05 01:30:34-04
The Valentino line has been so up and down that I hardly know where to look anymore. Luckily, this suede shoulder bag shows that the line is definitely on its way back up. I haven't seen a brown suede bag that isn't a hobo in a long time. It's a fabric that seems to have been [...]
- American West Harvest Moon All Access Cross-Body Bag | Brown Hand-Tooled Leather Western Purse - 2011-08-05 02:26:33-04
Like it or not, with American West, we always know what we we're going to get. The label fiercely clings to its country heritage with hand-tooled leather accessories like the Harvest Moon. It's easy to insult a bag like this. It is dated and without any fashionable features. But it's also impossible to ignore the work [...]
- First Look at Rachel Zoe's New Handbags | Pre-Order Celebrity Stylist's Purses - 2011-08-05 03:07:28-04
It's been in the works for some time, and now fans can finally start ordering their Rachel Zoe apparel and accessories. The collection allows fans to dress head to toe as the stylist might intend, with kitten heels, cardigans, party dresses, coats, and of course, many covetable handbags. They're somewhere in the middle of the designer [...]
- Anne Klein Perfect Tote | Large White Classic Leather Handbag - 2011-08-05 04:05:43-04
I must admit whenever I hear a fashion house describe its bag as perfect, I instantly become more critical. It's such a strong word, one that indicates that its creation is beyond reproach and without flaw. So does Anne Klein's Perfect Tote deserve its moniker? In a word, no. Automatically my eyes go to that white [...]
- Coach Hits Vietnam & Brazil | American Handbag Brand Signs International Contracts - 2011-08-05 05:05:02-04
Coach is looking to expand its empire by selling its handbags and other accessories in Brazil and Vietnam. The American fashion house has inked multi-year deals in both countries, and plans to open stores in the territories within the next year. Coach signed a deal with the Aste Group in Brazil, a company who works with [...]
- Antik Batik Cesar Cabas Tote | Colorful Fringed Boho Bag - 2011-08-05 06:45:57-04
When done well, fringing can help a bag channel the swinging sixties or the rodeo. When done badly, it can become a mess. Sadly the fringe on this Cesar Cabas tote makes it fall into that disappointing latter category. I'm not sure which Antik Batik designer suggested using a rainbow of colors for the fringe, but [...]
- Marc Jacobs Eugenie Quilted Leather Clutch | Classic Black Update To A Blingy Bag - 2011-08-05 07:00:15-04
Marc Jacobs Eugenie bags haven't exactly been some of my favorites. They have sort of a baroque charm that just doesn't appeal to me, personally. But this classic black quilted version is really ideal. What can I say about quilted black leather that hasn't already been said? Nothing, really, but the diamond pattern on the Eugenie [...]
- Anuschka Mini Multi-Pocket Flap Satchel | Rounded Hand Painted Leather Flower Purse - 2011-08-06 02:05:21-04
I haven't always warmed to Anushcka's hand-painted bags, but this adorable Mini Multi-Pocket Flap Satchel has enough charm to win me over. In many ways it doesn't stray too far away from Anuschka's formula. The watercolor painted design is familiar, as is the pebbled leather. But I love the way the curved flap of the front [...]
- Echo Launches New Handbags | Beach Bag Brand's Expanded Accessories Range - 2011-08-06 03:18:02-04
We all know Echo's fabric and terry cloth beach bags, but soon the label will release a more versatile range of handbags. The fabric purses feature prints inspired by the label's famous scarves, including animal motifs and bold tribal patterns. The solid colored bags will have printed linings, while the patterned purses will give our eyes [...]
- Anya Hindmarch Parking Change Pouch | Silver Metallic Leather Coin Purse - 2011-08-06 04:05:59-04
Anya Hindmarch looks to put an end to parking change headaches with this playful Parking Change Pouch. Anya Hindmarch loves to create accessories for very specific purposes, but this one probably looks the least kitschy. The silver leather should be a lovely complement to your coins, while the stamped title leaves no question as to what's [...]
- Nine West & Council of Fashion Designers of America's Breast Cancer Messenger | Runway Relief Charity Bag - 2011-08-06 21:38:26-04
Nine West has again teamed up with Council of Fashion Designers of America and the group's foundation for its new Fashion Targets Breast Cancer messenger bag. This year's handbag, called the Runway Relief Messenger, makes a bold statement while supporting an important cause. Through the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer campaign, Nine West has raised almost $50 [...]
- Ashley M Sailor Skull Striped Tote Bag | Nautical Pirate Fabric Bag - 2011-08-07 02:10:58-04
When it comes to Ashley M, we never really know what we're going to get. It might be paying homage to a pop culture hero, serving up some silly novelty, or even channeling high fashion. Or with this Sailor Skill Striped Tote Bag, it seems to be saluting the high seas! This tote delicately straddles kitsch [...]
- Lancel's Salvador Dali Inspired Handbags | Collection Daligramme Honors Art - 2011-08-07 03:33:03-04
French fashion house Lancel is preparing to launch a new handbag collection inspired by Spanish surreal artist Salvador Dali. Collection Daligramme will feature 20 handbag styles, 13 made from jacquard and seven crafted from luxury leather, and other small leather goods and accessories. The range features bags inspired by Dali's secret "love alphabet" and bearing cute [...]
- B. Makowsky Classics Vivian Satchel | Black Structured Soft Leather Handbag - 2011-08-07 04:17:00-04
B. Makowsky ordinarily focuses on the trends, but with its Classics collection it takes a more traditional approach. This Vivian satchel is a great everyday option for girls who prefer a little more polish in their purse. This satchel is free of the embellishments I ordinarily associate with B. Makowsky. There are no studs, no showy [...]
- Rafe Relaunches with Jones Group | Totengco's Handbags Are Back - 2011-08-07 05:58:54-04
After a brief hiatus Rafe, designer Rafe Totengco's signature line, is back and under new management. The fashion house is now part of the Jones Group, the company who also oversees Totengco's other creative interest, Nine West. Totengco will have his work cut out for him, serving as the creative director of both labels for [...]
- Baby Phat Ostrich Embossed Diaper Tote | Extra Large Exotic Patterned Black Handbag - 2011-08-08 02:05:43-04
As one of the world's most fashionable mamas, it makes sense that Kimora Lee Simmons has created some of the most stylish diaper bags I've seen. This ostrich embossed diaper tote is another impressive accessory from her Baby Phat label. This diaper tote is made from synthetic rather than real ostrich, or even embossed leather, but [...]
- Willrecycle Plastic Bag Purses | Designer Gives Grocery Bags New Life - 2011-08-08 03:24:14-04
Will Hammond has turned his childhood interest in the environment into an accessories empire with this label, Willrecycle. The cleverly named company turns old plastic bags into vanity cases, wallets, and other purses. Hammond began creating his upcycled plastic bag accessories as a teen attending Art College. Back then he sold his wallets and card holders [...]
- Badgley Mischka Tess Dome Satchel | Metallic Snake Printed Leather Handbag - 2011-08-08 04:05:05-04
Badgley Mischka cleverly creates the illusion of real luxury with this snake printed Tess Dome satchel. Badgley Mischka has taken a few fashion risks here, but I think each one has paid off. Snake print has the potential to look like an inferior copy of the real thing, but I think it works really well here. [...]
- Global Mamas African Bags & More | Fair Trade Accessories Empower Ghana's Women - 2011-08-08 05:20:53-04
Global Mamas is a fair trade, non-profit organization which helps Ghana's talented female artisans gain economic independence. By empowering women, Global Mamas helps Ghana's people move towards sustainability and decrease their dependence on foreign aid.
