- The Jesse B. Collection Autumn Clutch | Soft Tweed Seasonal Purse with Leather Straps - 2011-10-17 22:56:26-04
The Jesse B. Collection claims to have just what you need for the new season with this appropriately named Autumn clutch. This tweed purse's earthy colors mimic the season's changing leaves. The Autumn's shape is familiar to Jesse B. Collection fans, but happily its hues aren't its only defining feature. Rather than the stiff interfacing we [...]
- Free Endearment Releases Breast Cancer Dana Clutch | Pink Cowhide Purse Helps Hope Lodges - 2011-10-17 23:28:43-04
Free Endearment has released a hot pink version of its popular Dana clutch to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Dana purse is an accordion style clutch, so it packs a greater organizational punch than your average evening purse. It's made entirely from cowhide, and lined with striped bengaline fabric. The generously sized interior features an array [...]
- The SAK Stellaris Tote | Ivory Crochet Look Carry-All Bag - 2011-10-17 23:44:10-04
It seems The SAK might have been taking design lessons from local senior citizens when it created the Stellaris Tote. This tote's crocheted body has a homely old world charm about it. It's given a bit of a modern kick though with its scalloped edges, which are rendered in a slightly darker fawn hue. This tote [...]
- PKG Designs Movember Tech Sleeve | Know Your Mo Case for Prostate Cancer Charity - 2011-10-18 00:11:04-04
Breast Cancer Awareness Month still has two weeks to go, but already some designers are looking ahead to Movember. During the month of November plenty of lads around the world will be sporting facial hair to raise money for prostate cancer research. Women can also help the cause by picking up PKG's playful Know Your [...]
- Tianni Sofia Tote | Large Pink Snake Decorated Handbag - 2011-10-18 01:43:50-04
You've got to admire Tianni's gusto, as few handbag designers dare make a bag like the Sofia. This is one of those handbags you'll other love or loathe. Its hot pink synthetic body is obnoxious enough, but the red snake-printed accents bring another layer of loud. Tiny squares of the python print decorate the corners, and [...]
- Tignanello Hip to be Square Shoulder Bag | Geometric Stitched Black Leather Purse - 2011-10-18 18:38:17-04
Tignanello reminds us that it's hip to be square with this shoulder bag of the same name. Its '80s inspired moniker doesn't come from geek chic looks, but from its striking geometric stitching. Square panels help to make this shoulder bag's basic black finish seem a bit more interesting. The squares are softened a bit by [...]
- Oma's Quilts Adds Handbags | Quilted Purses from Texan Homewares House - 2011-10-18 19:24:04-04
Texan quilting boutique Oma's Quilts has added quilted handbags to its collection. Oma's Quilts offers its handbags in range of colors and patterns. They follow the lead of established handbag designers like Vera Bradley and Lily Waters with their homespun charms and folky prints. Some feature patchwork finishes, while others are made with just one material. [...]
- Timmy Woods Gothic Clutch | Wooden Animal Print Purse - 2011-10-18 20:16:08-04
Old fashioned styling meets contemporary fashion in this unusual Gothic clutch from Timmy Woods. You'll have to look past the leopard print to see the Gothic influence. Its sculpted scrolling body calls to mind the decorations of old world cathedrals. But they're heavily obscured by those wild black spots. Personally I feel the purse would have [...]
- Guinevere van Seenus Models for Miu Miu | Hailee Steinfeld Replaced in Latest Advertising Campaign - 2011-10-18 21:14:57-04
Following a mixed reaction from fashion commentators, Miu Miu has replaced 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld with a much older model for its new season campaign. At 34, Guinevere van Seenus isn't exactly over the hill, but when compared to the young actress used for fall she's virtually a senior! I loved the carefree and age-appropriate images [...]
- Tod's Shirt Shopping Tote | Ruched Drawstring Cream Treated Leather Handbag - 2011-10-19 00:21:24-04
For a tote that seems to be having an identity crisis, the Shirt shopper from Tod's seems very together. Its name seems designed to raise eyebrows. After all, this tote is certainly not a shirt. In fact, it doesn't appear to have any shirt-like qualities at all. But it is a lovely creature all the same. [...]
- Tommy Hilfiger Tasseled Mini Bag | Preppy Checkered Green Wool Purse - 2011-10-19 02:37:51-04
There must be a chill in the air, because it seems I'm seeing more woolen purses than ever. If you're not brave enough to carry a large wool bag, this Tasseled Mini from Tommy Hilfiger may be just the ticket. The checkered finish and chocolate leather trim create a purse with a real preppy vibe. It's [...]
- Missoni for Bric's Travel Accessories | Designers Team Up for Zig Zag Luggage - 2011-10-19 03:15:46-04
Missoni has given visitors at the TFWA World Exhibition a sneak peek at its new travel collection for Bric's. Missoni seems to have its finger in a few pies these days, but it was only a matter of time before the label joined forces with Bric's. The Missoni family has a long history with Bric's founders, [...]
- Tory Burch Norah Satchel | Large Conservative Black Leather Handbag - 2011-10-19 04:56:53-04
Tory Burch plays it safe with this Norah Satchel. This is the kind of the handbag that every girl needs in their wardrobe. It's sedate enough to suit any situation, its color ensures it works easily with any outfit, and it's large enough to hold anything you ever want to step out with. It's not all [...]
- Chris Burch Readies C. Wonder Lifestyle Labels | Handbags & More From Tory's Ex - 2011-10-19 05:27:19-04
Tory isn't the only Burch that knows a thing or two about design. Her ex-husband Chris is preparing to make his own mark on the fashion industry with the launch of his lifestyle label, C. Wonder. Most lifestyle brands start small before building the collection up, but not C. Wonder. It's assaulting us with a comprehensive [...]
- Travelon Pack-Flat Lunch Bag | Small Insulated Black Nylon Food Handbag - 2011-10-19 06:32:20-04
Travelon keeps your nosh cold with this slim Pack-Flat Lunch Bag. Travelon tends to make travel accessories, but with this bag it's created one for every day. It's made from tough 1680 Denier Ballistic Nylon, which is insulated to keep your food fresh and cool. There's a top handle, but the much longer strap seems a [...]
- Treesje Dylan Hobo | Belt Decorated Slouchy Brown Leather Handbag - 2011-10-20 02:44:10-04
I'm starting to wonder exactly what a hobo bag is in 2011. When this handbag style was invented it was slouchy, crescent shaped, and bohemian. This Dylan hobo has the signature slouch, but it's a very different bag to those early hobos. There's not a hint of crescent to its shape. Instead it's vaguely triangular, with [...]
- FEED Projects Rereleases Halloween Bag | HSN Goodie Purse with UNICEF - 2011-10-20 03:45:30-04
FEED Projects has reprised its spooky Halloween collaboration with HSN for the second year. It's a brand new year, but you wouldn't know it looking at this trick or treat bag. Unfortunately FEED Projects has simply recycled last year's model for 2011. I'm a big fan of recycling materials, but looks is a different matter. Surely [...]
- Tusk Gramercy Hobo | Sophisticated Pleated Tan Leather Handbag - 2011-10-20 04:19:29-04
Tusk gives the traditional hobo a chic makeover with this Gramercy bag. In many ways this is a classic hobo handbag. Its crescent shape is instantly recognizable, and its buttery soft leather slouches in all the right places. But the Gramercy is much more sophisticated than the average hobo. Perhaps it's the pretty pleating, which adds an [...]
- Jonathan Saunders & Smythson Make Colorblocked Accessories | iPad Case & Diaries From British Designers - 2011-10-20 05:04:10-04
Jonathan Saunders and Symthson offer a smart way to carry your iPad with the colorblocked cases in their new collaborative collection. Sadly there are no handbags in this designer range, but there are some stunning diaries. Internet blogs seem to have replaced these notepads for the most part, but a lovely leather-bound book like this might [...]
- Tylie Malibu Browning Cross-Body | Minimalist Brown Leather Chain Handle Purse - 2011-10-20 06:58:18-04
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love your beautiful buttery leather, and your angled stitching. I love your zippered edges, and your edgy chain strap. And most of all, I love your minimalist design, which is such a rarity from Tylie Malibu! Yes, the Browning has me waxing lyrical because it's [...]
- Ugg Australia Santa Fe Clutch | Brown Embroidered Suede Purse - 2011-10-21 02:01:40-04
The Santa Fe clutch is modern and stylish, just oozing Southwestern cool. Can you believe it comes from Ugg Australia? I don't mean to be disparaging, but I've never seen Ugg taking such a fashion-forward approach. Ordinarily its bags are decorated with fuzzy shearling and lambskin. They feel wonderful to touch, but they don't exactly inspire [...]
- Bloomingdale's Toxic Little Pink Bag | PVC Breast Cancer Charity Tote - 2011-10-21 03:56:38-04
Bloomingdale's has made a major blunder with its new Little Pink Bag, one of many pink products sold during Breast Cancer Awareness month. It might seem unfair to point fingers at an accessory that's doing good. I appreciate that a percentage of the sales goes to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, although donating just $2 from [...]
- Valentino Laser-Cut Patent Leather Shoulder Bag | Pretty Pink Floral Purse - 2011-10-21 04:28:00-04
Valentino has done it again with this Laser-Cut Patent Leather Shoulder Bag. Done what exactly? Why made me positively giddy! I'm sure this must be love. What other explanation is there for wanting to own a purse despite knowing it's all wrong for you? It's too small to hold much of anything, so it fails on [...]
- Buccellati Sues Grandniece | Jewelry Firm Files Lawsuit Against Handbag Maker - 2011-10-21 05:26:46-04
Italian jewelry company Buccellati is suing Miami-based handbag company Laura Buccellati LLC. for copyright infringement, claiming the handbag firm is "capitalizing on the popularity of the Buccellati trademarks." Laura Buccellati is actually the grandniece of the famed jeweler Mario Buccellati, and it's this heritage that led her to employ the tagline "jewel of a bag." That's [...]
- Vanessa Bruno Leather Tote | Sophisticated Black Carry-All Bag - 2011-10-21 06:58:17-04
Vanessa Bruno reminds us of the beauty of a simple black tote back with this lush leather offering. The shape of this tote really is special. The gently curved top makes a real statement. So many unusually shaped bags compromise storage space, but not this one. Others appear so unusual that they jar the senses, but [...]
- VBH Origami Envelope Cross-Body Bag | Leopard Print Mink Fur Purse - 2011-10-22 02:35:59-04
It's not going to win any fans at PETA, but this VBH Original envelope bag makes a big impression. This purse is crafted from mink dyed to resemble leopard fur. I suppose that's better than hunting the real big cats, but only just. It's a beautiful fur, and I'm sure it'd turn an ordinary winter outfit [...]
- Ashley Greene DKNY's New Spokesperson | Twilight Star Turns Model & Brand Ambassador - 2011-10-22 03:28:14-04
Twilight actress Ashley Greene is trading in her fangs for a role as the new face of DKNY. Greene will star in the fashion house's advertising campaigns and act as the label's ambassador for the next twelve months. It seems she's got a head start on the latter part of her duties, as she's already waxing [...]
- Vera Bradley Frill Tippy Tie Bag | Poppy Fields Printed Synthetic Purse - 2011-10-22 04:17:22-04
Once upon a time we could spot a Vera Bradley purse at ten paces. However in recent collections we've seen the American label experimenting. I've celebrated these more fashion forward creations, but with this Tippy Tie bag from the Frill collection I wonder whether the designer's gone too far. I think the biggest mistake here is [...]
- Arm Candy Sells Eco-Friendly Purses | Las Vegas Candy Wrapper Bag Store - 2011-10-22 05:10:12-04
New accessories store Arm Candy is now satisfying the cravings of Las Vegas' green fashionistas. The boutique, located at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, sells purses, headbands, wallets, and other accessories made from upcycled materials. It was originally conceived as a small kiosk, but it proved so popular that the Arm Candy team recently moved [...]
- Versace Animal Print Shoulder Bag | Bold Art Deco Calf Hair Purse - 2011-10-23 02:47:12-04
Versace reminds us that sometimes less is more with this Animal Print Shoulder Bag. When I first spotted this bag my heart skipped a few beats. I was instantly captivated by the art deco inspired front flap, with its bright red piping and lush juxtaposition of black leather and brown suede. But then I noticed the [...]
- Christian Dior Profits Up | Sales Increase During Controversial Year - 2011-10-23 03:44:40-04
Christian Dior seems unaffected by the untimely exit of anti-Semitic creative director John Galliano. The company has posted a 21% increase in earnings for the year to date. Perhaps the results prove the old adage that no publicity is really bad publicity. Dior has enjoyed plenty of time in the headlines this year, from Galliano's very [...]
- Vieta Letha Cross-Body Bag | Studded Blue Synthetic Handbag - 2011-10-23 04:26:34-04
If studs are on the way out, Vieta clearly didn't get the memo. It celebrates the metal accents with this Letha cross-body bag. The Letha's studs are delicate, but there's nothing subtle about the way the label uses them. They're applied with a heavy hand along the sides of the flap and the buckled ties. The [...]
- Fiorelli Donates Original Bag to Oxfam | Whitby Store Raffles Unique Purse - 2011-10-23 05:09:10-04
Fiorelli has generously donated a one-of-a-kind handbag to an Oxfam charity store in the British seaside town of Whitby. The store on New Quay Road will auction off the unique purse to help provide food and water for African communities in need. The donation has come at an important time for the store, who was forced [...]
- Vitalio Vera Alicia Hobo | Affordable Neutral Gray Handbag - 2011-10-24 02:15:26-04
Vitalio Vera plays it uncharacteristically safe with this Alicia hobo. The affordable fashion house often enjoys experimenting with colors, accents, and shapes, so the more muted style of the Alicia came as a real surprise. Its gray color is very mellow, to the point of being bland. However I suppose you needn't worry about it clashing [...]
- New Winter Handbag Trends | Bella Bag Predicts New Looks - 2011-10-24 03:56:28-04
With a new fashion season looming, it's time to spruce up your wardrobe. Many of us don't have the budget to indulge in a whole new wardrobe, but some on-trend accessories can be the perfect way to revamp your closet. Leading pre-loved accessories e-tailer Bella Bag has made its predictions for winter's hottest looks. Cassandra Connors, [...]
- Whiting & Davis Opposing Stripes Clutch | Colored Metal Mesh Envelope Purse - 2011-10-24 04:15:33-04
As if metal mesh wasn't already retro enough, Whiting & Davis treats us to a bit of 70s color with this Opposing Stripes clutch. This is a discolicious purse with its wide stripes and bold metallic colors. I really like the way the envelope flap mimics the chevron stripes decorating it, just as the vertical stripes [...]
- Danielle Nicole Designs for Oprah Winfrey | Limited Edition Sydney Shoppers for O You Event - 2011-10-24 05:35:55-04
Danielle Nicole created a limited edition version of her popular Sydney Shopper Tote for Oprah Winfrey's recent O You! event. Lady O and her 5,500 special guests all took home the tote bag, which was filled with goodies from the event's sponsors. Winfrey has long admired the Sydney Shopper; she even named it one of her [...]
- XOXO Double Vision Shoulder Bag | Edgy Zippered Black Vinyl Purse - 2011-10-24 06:44:47-04
Youth label XOXO takes a more grown-up approach than usual with this Double Vision shoulder bag. It's not quite the edgy rock and roll inspired purse it intends to be, but it's getting there. The long center zip and front flap pockets call to mind a motorcycle jacket. The black vinyl has all of the edge [...]
