- Harajuku Lovers Tokyo Tote | Colorful Raver Girls Print Classic Handbag - 2011-09-05 21:38:46-04
Harajuku Lovers slathers one of its loud signature prints on a classic tote with this Tokyo bag. The trippy Raver Girls pattern is really what makes this bag. The cute female characters look like they're in the middle of a great dance party, plastered this way and that against a rainbow colored geometric background. It's a [...]
- New Wooden Supplii Bags | Joelle Andrew's Bentwood Toolbox Tote & Clutch - 2011-09-05 22:05:53-04
Joelle Andrew has created wooden handbags that are real head-turners for her fledgling fashion label Supplii. The brand's tote and clutch purse are made from bentwood, a lightweight and flexible wood. Andrew first worked with the material when she made a bentwood chair for an architecture school project. The chair was a failure, but it inspired [...]
- Harveys Lily Rose Cross-Body Clutch | Red Seatbelt Woven Rose Handbag - 2011-09-06 00:13:05-04
Harveys brings some feminine flair to its famous woven seatbelts line with this Lily Rose purse. We've seen Harveys woven seatbelt designs before, and in many ways this is more of the same. However its rosette detail gives this bag some real personality. The bloom is also made from more seatbelts for a cohesive look. This [...]
- Petra Eccleston Launches Stark Bags | Luxurious Celebrity Designed Handbags - 2011-09-06 00:58:30-04
Billionairess Petra Eccleston isn't short on a dollar, but she stands to make a few more when she launches her Stark accessories line at New York Fashion Week this week. Eccleston is a big name in her own right, but she insists the collection isn't about trading on her celebrity. "It's not about me - it's not [...]
- Hayden-Harnett Barnard Cross-Body Bag | Classic Hunter Green Leather Purse - 2011-09-06 01:44:35-04
With a gorgeous splash of Hunter green and timeless design, Hayden-Harnett has won me over with its Barnard cross-body bag. This equestrian styled purse is an instant classic, with its gentle curves and sophisticated brass hardware. That lush green colored leather is unexpected, but I think it saves this cross-body from being too pedestrian. It's my [...]
- Helena de Natalio Claire Hobo | Metallic Linen Print Leather Petal Purse - 2011-09-06 04:36:19-04
Helena de Natalio can ordinarily be counted on for elegant leather accessories that ooze sophistication. But there's none of that refined charm in the Claire hobo, a bag which takes things just a step too far. It's ironic that the Claire has some of the most interesting design elements I've seen from Helena de Natalio. The [...]
- Anne Hathaway Models for Tod's | Fall/Winter Advertisement Showcases New Signature Collection - 2011-09-06 21:54:40-04
When it comes to fashion, there are few collections more prestigious than a fashion house's signature line. Tod's has been delighting accessories lovers for decades, but it's finally treating us to that level of pampering with its new Signature Collection line. This line is stunning with its rich candy colors and timeless yet youthful styling. Creative [...]
- Hilary Radley Buckler Satchel | Contemporary Black Synthetic Strap Decorated Handbag - 2011-09-07 00:44:41-04
Hilary Radley brings some modern style to a traditional satchel with the Buckler. Angular buckled straps give the Buckler its name and personality. I really like the way these details set off the satchel's compact design. I'm less enthusiastic about the crocodile embossing on the synthetic, but it's gentle enough that it's not a deal breaker. [...]
- Andrae Gonzalo Designs Bag for Fashion's Night Out | Solar Powered AIDS Charity Auction Purse - 2011-09-07 01:07:28-04
Project Runway season two alum Andrae Gonzalo has joined forces with Los Angeles design firm Silvr Lining to create an innovative solar powered handbag for charity. The tech savvy purse will be auctioned off for Keep a Child Alive, a youth AIDS initiative, during Fashion's Night Out. Gonzalo's duffel bag features two independently functioning solar panels [...]
- Hobo International Libby Clutch | Convertible Framed Yellow Purse - 2011-09-07 01:56:36-04
Some accessory styles never seem to go out of vogue. They may enjoy a renaissance every now and again, but they're never truly unfashionable. So while a purse like the Libby might seem particularly on trend as we all try to emulate the Mad Men look, it'll become a wardrobe staple long after the vintage [...]
- Hype Claudia Hobo | Military Style Studded Top Zip Black Leather Handbag - 2011-09-07 23:08:04-04
Hype serves up a hobo that's more military than boho with this Claudia hobo. The structured design and high quality leather make the Claudia feel really tidy. I love the stud and strap details that decorate the center of the purse, but I'm less fussed on the studs around the edges. All that silver just feels [...]
- Designers Celebrate Campaign for Wool | Wooly Purses at La Galleria & Harvey Nichols - 2011-09-08 00:25:40-04
With colder winter ahead it makes sense that the United Kingdom is celebrating wool with its annual Campaign for Wool event this week. Some of the country's leading designers have dabbled with the wintery material for the festivities. Prince Charles founded the Campaign for Wool last year to boost the natural material's popularity. Sales have slumped [...]
- Imoshion Daffodil Tote Handbag | Refined Lace Decorated Black Carry Bag - 2011-09-08 00:46:05-04
It's called a Daffodil, but there's not even a sniff of flowers in Imoshion's elegant tote purse. Personally I think this bag is better for taking the path less traveled. It would have been very easy for Imoshion to use flowers to win over its female target audience. Instead it's used delicate swaths of crocheted lace, [...]
- Rebecca Minkoff Does R&Em | Designer's New Leather Free Label - 2011-09-08 01:31:39-04
Rebecca Minkoff is making a play for the dollars of budget-conscious shoppers with her new leather-free label, R&Em. In place of Minkoff's favorite skin we see flat, perforated, and washed polyurethane and whipstitched straw. Personally I think PU always looks a bit cheap, like it's trying too hard to be leather, but I think the straw [...]
- Inge Christopher Vegas Box Clutch | Metal Frame Silver Minaudiere - 2011-09-08 01:54:38-04
When we think of Vegas we think of wild nights and plenty of bling. And this box clutch from Inge Christopher certainly lives up to its flashy name. The large asymmetrical Swarovski crystals decorating this classic box clutch make it a whole lot of fun. They're a little tacky and tawdry, but it wouldn't be a [...]
- Isaac Mizrahi Medium Leather Shoulder Bag | Asymmetrical Ponyskin Paneled Brown Purse - 2011-09-08 20:12:04-04
Isaac Mizrahi shows off more of his signature quirk with this unusual medium leather bag. Its name might not be too exciting, but its design is inspired. At its heart it's like so many other brown leather bags, but the devil's in its unusual details. The straps are what initially struck me. Their asymmetrical design reminds [...]
- Free VPL Travel Bag | Victoria Barlett Designs for Beauty.com - 2011-09-08 21:32:49-04
Beauty.com has teamed up with Victoria Bartlett for its latest free gift offer. Customers will receive Bartlett's VPL travel bag and goodies, valued at $140, when they spend $100 with the online beauty store. The exclusively designed purse is the latest in Beauty.com's quarterly series of fashion house collaborations. It's classed as a mini satchel, but [...]
- 3.1 Philip Lim Nashki Neoprene And Leather Clutch | Low Key High Tech Evening Bag - 2011-09-08 22:22:06-04
Phillip Lim is one of the most interesting, and most modern, contemporary designers. It's not because he adds a whole bunch of bells and whistles to his designs, either. It's because he keeps his aesthetic clean and consistent. This Nashki clutch is the epitomizes Lim's style, even if there are a few bumps in the [...]
- J. Furmani Classic Pleated Satin Clutch | Affordable Chocolate Brown Evening Purse - 2011-09-08 22:26:10-04
J. Furmani gives us a stylish satin purse with a surprisingly affordable price tag with this pleated clutch. Perhaps I shouldn't be so surprised by the cheap as chips price. This is J. Furmani after all, a label which prides itself on its accessible evening accessories. Personally I think this is one of the fashion house's [...]
- Victoria Beckham Under Attack From PETA | Designer's Exotic Skin Sources Questioned - 2011-09-09 00:06:54-04
PETA and other animal rights groups have Victoria Beckham in their sights again. Her love of exotic skins has never earned her any brownie points with these organizations. However it's her failure to disclose her sources that has recently angered the groups. The animal groups fear that this lack of disclosure indicates Beckham's sources may not [...]
- J. Renee Belva Clutch | Red Sequined Pleated Evening Purse - 2011-09-09 00:59:36-04
Get ready to party with this dazzling Belva clutch from J. Renee. This purse is a real showstopper thanks to that kaleidoscope of sequins. The colored discs cover every inch of this purse! I love the unexpected combination of red, pink, orange, and silver, and the way the accents catch the light. Although I'm not sure [...]
- J. Tiras Lynn Clutch | Elegant Pearl Synthetic Purse - 2011-09-09 23:02:49-04
J. Tiras has created an evening purse with its own sense of style with the Lynn. This pebbled clutch is a real beauty with its high quality finish and unusual rounded square shape. The polished metal closure finishes things off beautifully. You simply twist it to open the purse up, revealing the small but adequate interior. [...]
- Prada's Surreal Fall Advertising Video | Designer Launches "Real Fantasies" - 2011-09-10 00:51:03-04
Prada is the latest fashion house to get artistic when advertising its new season collection. The Italian label has released this video to promote their fall fashion range. It's called Real Fantasies, a name which is only somewhat appropriate. There's certainly a fantastical element to the video, but it's not like any of the real fantasies [...]
- Jack Georges Contemporary Briefcase | Sophisticated Burgundy Leather Business Bag - 2011-09-10 01:13:33-04
Jack Georges claims it's created a contemporary briefcase with this business bag here, but I'm failing to see anything modern about it. Its look is very clean, but it lacks any real flair. I'm not suggesting anyone should go crazy in the office, but surely we deserve something more interesting than this neutral color palette and [...]
- Nine West Showcases Karen Elson Line | Website Presents Vintage America Collection - 2011-09-10 01:30:46-04
Nine West is showcasing the pieces Karen Elson has designed for its upcoming Vintage America Collection online. The affordable retailer has posted a slideshow of Elson modeling her creations on its website. Elson's own single "The Truth is in the Dirt on the Ground" is a great complement to the thrift-store inspired pieces. You could really [...]
- Jalda Paula Satchel | Large Blue Weathered Lambskin Handbag - 2011-09-10 01:55:44-04
I've long admired Jalda's clutch purses, with their contemporary designs and high quality materials. What a shame that designing flair didn't translate to this much larger Paula satchel. It's got some solid elements, but sadly it falls flat for me. Let's start with the positives. That blue Italian lambskin is divine. The leather has a slightly [...]
- Jesselli Couture Blues Satchel | Boho Velvet Paisley Purse - 2011-09-10 21:38:30-04
It might not be very high class, but my inner boho chick has fallen in love with this Blues Satchel from Jesselli Couture. This bag is a real free spirit, with colorful embroidered patterns decorating its rich teal velvet body. The accents perhaps are more fashion throwback than retro cool, but there's a certain charm to [...]
- Custo Barcelona Add Accessories | Spanish Fashion House Makes Handbags & More - 2011-09-10 22:01:53-04
Spanish fashion house Custo Barcelona will introduce accessories with its spring 2012 collection. The new "premium" price collection features handbags, belts, footwear, jewelry, and small leather goods. The label's designer Custo Dalmau said he hopes his accessories collection with reach a "more heterogenerous market," but one that still appreciates the "playful and eccentric spirit" embodied by [...]
- Jessica Jensen Original Tote | Vertical Line Accented White Leather Handbag - 2011-09-10 23:13:26-04
It might not be as innovative as its name suggests, but the clean design of this Original Tote from Jessica Jensen has still turned my head. White leather is always a show stopper, at least when it's brand new. Few colors can make the impact of this clean monochromatic hue. Of course once it's gone through [...]
- Rita Almeida Makes Bra Bags | Quirky Upcycled Wonderbra Purses - 2011-09-11 01:03:01-04
When I saw Winter Pierzina using her bra as a handbag I thought she was onto something. It seems that Portuguese designer Rita Almeida agreed with me, as she's now upcycling Wonderbras into cute purses. Almeida's website doesn't reveal much about her manufacturing techniques, but it seems pretty straight forward. The two cups appear to be [...]
- Jessica McClintock Weave Stone Clutch | Black East/West Style Purse - 2011-09-11 21:45:34-04
Jessica McClintock shakes up the traditional frame purse with this modern Weave Stone clutch. I really love the nubbly texture of the wide woven fabric. In black the effect of the interlocking material is subtle, but when you look at it up close you can really appreciate the craftsmanship. The frame has also been given a [...]
- Travelpro Launches Maxlite 2 | New Lightweight Travel Bag Collection - 2011-09-11 22:21:12-04
Travelpro is preparing to launch the Maxlite 2 collection, its latest range of lightweight travel bags. The 11-piece line features expandable rollaboards, expandable spinners, regular and rolling duffels, a rolling tote, and a garment sleeve. The bags are Travelpro's lightest, but they also don't skimp on durability. While the lightweight design is the biggest selling point [...]
- Jessica Simpson Prima Donna Satchel | Studded Zip Decorated Handbag - 2011-09-12 00:31:41-04
Jessica Simpson brings just enough glitz to this Prima Donna satchel. Given its name, I fully expected this satchel to be a real show pony. However, at least in basic black, this satchel goes just far enough. The studs are small and applied sparsely so they don't appear too much, especially when paired with the silvery [...]
- Coles Supermarkets Releases Cathy Freeman Foundation Bag | Student Artwork Shopper Helps Palm Island Charity - 2011-09-12 01:26:03-04
Australia's Coles supermarket chain has partnered up with the Cathy Freeman Foundation to create a contemporary new reusable shopping bag. The shopper features colorful artwork from Jimeka Richardson, an indigenous student living on Australia's remote Palm Island. Richardson says the vibrant pinks, greens, and blues she's used in the pattern reflect the parts of her island [...]
- Jil Sander Simple Tote | Minimalist Yellow Leather Handbag - 2011-09-12 06:48:25-04
Jil Sander delivers a bag that lives up to its name with the Simple Tote. It is very simple, but that often derogatory term doesn't quite convey its charm. I've been won over by its cheerful Curcuma Yellow color, which is so rich and warm. It's almost veering towards orange, and the kind of hue that [...]
