- See By Chloe Carmen Ostrich Effect Leather Shoulder Bag | Ladylike Faux Exotic Handbag - 2011-09-19 18:30:20-04
See by Chloe has been a little inconsistent in the past few seasons, but I'm more than willing to overlook that if they keep putting out great bags like this Carmen shoulder bag. It's got a streamlined ladylike aesthetic that is hip but versatile. The purple ostrich effect leather on the Carmen is a real winner. [...]
- Bottega Veneta Urban Lace Two-In-One Leather Bag | Gorgeous Convertible Deer Leather Bag - 2011-09-19 21:00:19-04
Bottega Veneta is blowing my mind with this Urban leather bag. It's convertible, it's beautiful, it's modern, it's retro. It's basically perfect. Bambi never looked so good as she does on this Urban bag. I'm sorry. I know that was in bad taste. But seriously, who would have thought that deerskin would look so unbelievably posh? [...]
- Clarins Releases New FEED 15 Pouch | Guatemalan Fabric Charity Purse - 2011-09-19 21:11:53-04
Cosmetics company Clarins clearly enjoyed its recent partnership with altruistic organization FEED projects, as it's doing it all again. The companies have just released a colorful new Clarins FEED 15 pouch, which comes just a few months after the launch of the original version. The tribal inspired purse is the handiwork of Claire Courtin-Clarins, the granddaughter [...]
- Latico Mackie Wristlet | Brown Snakeskin Textured Leather Purse - 2011-09-19 22:45:33-04
Latico delivers a little bit of luxury for a very little price with this Mackie Wristlet. Its body is made from snake textured leather, rather than authentic snakeskin, but the material is still opulent. The graduated hues help make the skin a very good exotic mimic, especially for the price. Latico lets this scaly finish do much [...]
- Bottega Veneta Leather Leaf Clutch | Fabulous Edgy But Posh Evening Bag - 2011-09-19 23:00:46-04
I'm not sure I've ever given Bottega Veneta a bad review. Maybe an ambivalent one, but never bad. It seems like I never will, either, because they have got their design skills down pat. This leather leaf clutch is a great example of their sophisticated style, with a little bit of drama thrown in for [...]
- Zach Galifianakis Designs for Hung On U | Hangover Star Makes Purse for Charity Auction - 2011-09-20 00:44:02-04
The career of The Hangover star Zach Galifianakis is taking an unexpected turn. The quirky comedian will design a one-of-a-kind purse for Hung On U, the fashion label founded by Keith Richards' wife Patti Hansen. Galifianakis is just one of many stars flexing his creative muscles for the project, although he's certainly the most unlikely. Famed [...]
- Lauren Merkin Lizzie Satchel | Nude Washed Lambskin Handbag - 2011-09-20 01:29:13-04
When done well, a nude handbag can be one of the fashion world's most versatile creations. But in the wrong hands this mellow color can make any design bland. Sadly that's what we see here with Lauren Merkin's Lizzie satchel. The workmanship on this handbag is superb, and its materials exquisite. The washed lambskin body is [...]
- LeSportsac Cleo Cross-Body Bag | Large Star Print Polyester Handbag - 2011-09-20 03:34:09-04
LeSportsac offers another practical purse with just a hint of sparkle with its Cleo Cross-Body Bag. OK, perhaps the Cleo isn't really sparkling, but its colorful star print brings some real pizzazz to its basic black polyester body. Polyester is a material that rarely excites, tough as it might be, so I'm glad the label's given [...]
- Prada Sales Increase | Strong Results In Asia Boost Profits for Fashion House - 2011-09-20 03:45:53-04
Strong sales in Asia and the opening of several new stores have seen Italian fashion house Prada S.p.A post a 74% increase in its half-year profits. It's been a stellar year for Prada so far. The company posted a net income of $245 million for the first six months of the year. The fashion label was also [...]
- Lily Waters Tara Tote | Patterned Black & White North/South Fabric Handbag - 2011-09-20 04:58:55-04
Lily Waters sticks to its creative guns with this patterned Tara tote. In many ways it's more of the same from this fashion house. We've seen these prints before, and the classic tote shape is also nothing new. The material is also predictable, although it has the advantage of being lightweight, a real plus in a [...]
- Valentino Python Bag | Amazingly Multi-textured And Multi-colored Exotic Tote - 2011-09-20 05:00:35-04
Oh, Valentino, how do I love thee? I could count the ways or I could count the decades. Either way, the Valentino line has stolen more than its fair share of my heart. Even after the man himself's retirement, the house still manages to surprise and delight with bags like this one. The python on this [...]
- Romeo & Juliet Couture Creates Gossip Girl Fashion | Apparel Launches in September, Handbags For Spring - 2011-09-20 05:37:21-04

- Linea Pelle Parker Croco Tote | Crocodile Embossed Gray Leather Handbag - 2011-09-20 06:20:53-04
Linea Pelle injects some exotic flair into this Parker tote bag. I don't know about you, but to me this feels like a bag that's putting on airs. Its crocodile embossing barely seems to be trying to fool us. It brings texture to the leather, but I think the skin would have been better off without [...]
- Liz Claiborne Croco Wristlet | Glazed Synthetic Gray Purse - 2011-09-21 02:39:43-04
Liz Claiborne opts for versatility over flash with this Croco Wristlet. This purse won't turn a lot of heads, but I can imagine it easily slotting into your daytime and evening wardrobe. The gray hue is sophisticated but a little bland. However it's given some extra punch with some crocodile embossing and a glazed finish. Adding [...]
- Muubaa Does Handbags | British Leather Label Adds Accessories - 2011-09-21 03:20:40-04
Four years after launching its first leather apparel collection, British fashion house Muubaa is finally adding handbags to the mix. The purses are made from the same soft cow and lamb leathers we've seen in the brand's clothing lines. They also share the apparel's sophisticated, yet slightly edgy, sense of style. The leathers have been washed, [...]
- Lodis Synergy Libby Satchel | Black Shrunken Leather Domed Purse - 2011-09-21 04:49:14-04
Lodis reminds us that there are few things more compelling than high quality leather with its Synergy Libby satchel. This domed handbag is made from shrunken leather, which is buttery soft and deeply textured. It's the sort of skin that just begs to be touched, which makes its black color a very smart choice. There's no [...]
- Doves Nest Design Makes Halloween Handbags | Cute Candy Monster Bags for Kids - 2011-09-21 05:45:47-04
The Halloween themed bags are coming thick and fast. Just days after we introduced you to ChicoBag's Reusable Trick or Treat Tote Bag, Doves Nest Design has released another contender for your holiday dollars. The company has launched this fun new Candy Monster Bag, which appears to actually eat your Halloween loot! As you feed candy [...]
- London Fog Jessica Satchel | Black Synthetic Turn-Lock Handbag - 2011-09-21 06:00:50-04
London Fog serves up more of the sophisticated military style that made it famous with this Jessica satchel. Despite its feminine name, this satchel is far from girly. Its buckled strap accents and antique brass hardware give it a modern masculinity. The slightly too shiny and stiff surface points to the use of synthetic, rather than real [...]
- Longchamp Patch Toile Tote | Printed Pony Print Nylon Patchwork Handbag - 2011-09-22 02:09:13-04
Longchamp offers a ponyhair purse for the fur phobic with this Patch Toile Tote. I must admit that, at least from a distance, this handbag fooled me. It looks like it's made of swatches of authentic pony hair, but it's actually crafted from cleverly printed nylon. That means there's none of the ethical concerns we typically [...]
- Jordana Paige Donates to Breast Cancer Foundation | Knitter Satchel Raises Funds for Charity - 2011-09-22 03:51:51-04
With Breast Cancer Awareness Month approaching, it's worth noting the work that fashion designers do to help find a cure. Jordana Paige is one such generous handbag maker; she donates 10% of the retail value of every sale of her pink Knitter's Satchels to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Paige said she wanted to contribute to [...]
- Lucky Brand On the Fringe Macrame Cross-Body | Retro Red Crochet Cotton Handbag - 2011-09-22 04:26:34-04
With the fashion world embracing the seventies, Lucky Brand has dared to bring back one of its quintessential looks. But is the world ready for the return of macramé? Clearly with the On the Fringe Cross-Body, Lucky Brand hopes so. I'm still in two minds, but I admire the label's daring. This cross-body takes us right [...]
- Massive Judith Leiber Auction | Bonhams Sells Prized Purses - 2011-09-22 05:23:38-04
Judith Leiber lovers had better start saving, because Bonham's is auctioning off one of the world's most impressive collections of the iconic designer's accessories. The Robert Maier Collection will go under the hammer on December 12. Maier's collection began when he bought a Judith Leiber pillbox for his wife. She was smitten, and so Maier gave [...]
- Lulu Guinness Zoe Satchel | Small Sausage Dog Bag - 2011-09-22 06:21:14-04
Lulu Guinness brings her trademark sense of whimsy to a traditional structured satchel with the Zoe. At its heart this is your classic satchel, with its distinctive elongated shape and rolled handles. I look at this base and think "What a timeless accessory." Lulu Guinness though seems to have looked at it and thought "What a [...]
- Mad by Design Pearl Phoenix Bag | Striking Budget Tiled Evening Purse - 2011-09-23 02:34:51-04
Mad by Design's made a purse that looks much richer than its price tag with this Pearl Phoenix. Mother of pearl tiles cover the Phoenix's distinctive angular body. The trapezoidal shape is already a showstopper, but the pearlized finish just makes it that much more compelling. The horn handle appears to be the perfect complement to the [...]
- Dolce & Gabbana Axes D&G | Diffusion Line's Spring Collection its Last - 2011-09-23 03:47:26-04
Dolce & Gabbana's D&G line is going the way of the dinosaurs. Creative directors Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have decided to can their diffusion line to focus on their signature collection. Those in the know say that the two fashion lines were "cannibalizing" each other due to their similar price points. We've seen diffusion lines [...]
- Dolce & Gabbana Axe D&G | Diffusion Line's Spring Collection its Last - 2011-09-23 03:47:26-04
Dolce & Gabbana's D&G line is going the way of the dinosaurs. Creative directors Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have decided to can their diffusion line to focus on their signature collection. Those in the know say that the two fashion lines were "cannibalizing" each other due to their similar price points. We've seen diffusion lines [...]
- Mad Imports Mar Y Sol Eloise Clutch | Woven Green Raffia Bow Purse - 2011-09-23 04:09:41-04
Mad Imports, or May Y Sol as its also known, typically creates summery accessories from raffia. The Eloise has all those hallmarks, yet its styling makes it appropriate for use all year round. The tightly woven raffia takes on the appearance of heavy cloth here. From a distance it seems like tweed or a knitted fabric. [...]
- West Hollywood Bans Fur Fashion | Californian City Fights for Animal Rights - 2011-09-23 05:05:41-04
If you're a fur lover in West Hollywood, you may want to start stocking up on your favorite fuzzy handbags and apparel now. The local council has unanimously voted to ban the sale of any clothes or accessories made "in whole or part from the pelt or skin or an animal with hair, wool, or [...]
- Maddalena Marconi Beaded Evening Clutch | Black Crystal Decorated Lace Purse - 2011-09-23 06:47:02-04
Maddalena Marconi may not be a household name, but its evening purses never fail to make an impression. We haven't always embraced the label's luxurious accessories, but this Beaded Evening Clutch is certainly one I can get behind. This evening clutch gets away with its extravagance by using classic color combinations and traditional accents. However it's [...]
- Magid Pattern Sequin Convertible Clutch | Long Pink Silver Rose Purse - 2011-09-24 02:55:15-04
Once upon a time we could count on Magid for summery day bags made from woven straw and other natural fibers. But the times they are a-changing, and these days the label's been revealing a more glamorous side. This Pattern Sequin Convertible Clutch is a great example of the fashion house's new direction. This purse is [...]
- Barbara Taylor Bradford Loves Hermes | Writer Talks About Handbag Collection - 2011-09-24 03:22:36-04
Plenty of young celebrities love Hermes bags, from Kim Kardashian to Victoria Beckham. But the iconic handbag house also has some older fans, including acclaimed British author Barbara Taylor Bradford. The 78-year-old writer has accumulated many Hermes handbags in her lifetime thanks to her generous husband of 47 years, television producer Robert Bradford. Mr. Bradford has [...]
- Maison Martin Margiela Metallic Clutch | Oversized Padded Gold Purse - 2011-09-24 04:54:50-04
Maison Martin Margiela's certainly turned my head with this unusual metallic clutch. However I'm not sure that grabbing attention is always the best thing. This purse is very quirky, with its oversized flap and folded sides. And just to make sure we don't ignore it, its surface is padded and made in scene stealing gold metallic. [...]

They weigh just three ounces, but are made to hold up to [...]
- Gucci 1973 Leather-Trimmed Suede Shoulder Bag | Ultra Hip Contrast Trim Retro Bag - 2011-09-24 17:57:23-04
Gucci's glamorous, refined aesthetic has set the standard in fashion for decades. This vintage-inspired 1973 bag combines the best of their past a very contemporary elegance. The combination of materials on the 1973 is total genius. I love the rich tone on the black suede. It's very chocolate-y, which suits the smooth texture beautifully. The orange [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs House of Marc Satchel | Sophisticated Black Leather Carry-All - 2011-09-25 21:44:28-04
Marc Jacobs is one of those rare designers that always surprises. Sometimes he's creating colorful, whimsical accessories, and on other occasions we see him taking a more traditional route. However with Marc Jacobs, traditional is never a euphemism for tired. This House of Marc satchel is the embodiment of modern elegance. Just like the little black [...]
- Paris Hilton Launches in India | Socialite Sells Bags in Mumbai - 2011-09-25 23:39:54-04

- Marni Sequined Pouch | Red Sparkly Simple Party Clutch - 2011-09-26 01:29:16-04
Marni's created a show-stopping, but ultimately uninspiring, accessory with this sequined pouch. It's impossible to dislike a purse that's covered in bright red sequins. The shiny discs are just so fun, catching the light and upping the glam factor. But I feel the sequins are doing all the work, while Marni's having a rest. The fashion [...]
- Small Bags Make Fashion Comeback | Mid-Sized Purses Latest Style Trend - 2011-09-26 01:52:45-04
No your eyes aren't deceiving you; handbags are getting smaller.

- Mary Frances Prince Charming Bag | Beaded Novelty Frog Clutch - 2011-09-26 02:19:55-04
A real life Prince Charming is hard to find, but this Mary Frances purse with the same name is just as dependable, and as delightful! This cute purse shows the prince in frog mode. I'm not sure any amount of kissing will convert this sweet beaded amphibian into a real life handsome prince, but I suppose [...]

New research shows women get a greater buzz buying handbags than they do when indulging in any other item. The study by shopping site Saveme4later.com shows that a new purse made women happier than new shoes, a summer dress, and tickets to see a favorite band. One in four women ranked handbags as their top [...]
- Matt & Nat Loren Wallet | Blue Vegan Leather Zip Decorated Flap Purse - 2011-09-26 03:33:42-04
Wallets are often regarded as the poor cousin of handbags, a less stylish and more practical alternative to leather arm candy. Matt & Nat reject this notion with the Loren, a purse that deserves its time in the spotlight. Frankly I'd be reluctant to hide this purse away. With its stylish speckled finish and edgy zip [...]
