New at BagBunch: L’Wren Scott Lula Weekend Bag | Luxurious Black Leather Travel Handbag

Hi mary,

Check out the latest handbag fashion news and review at BagBunch.com:
  1. L'Wren Scott Lula Weekend Bag | Luxurious Black Leather Travel Handbag - 2011-11-21 23:11:04-05
    When an ordinary weekender just won't do, look to this ultra luxurious Scott Lula bag from L'Wren. The Scott Lula's exterior is classic and refined, with smooth black leather and minimalist brushed silver hardware. I love its clean, contemporary lines, and that deep front pocket. The interior is spacious and lined with leather for extra opulence. Its [...]
  2. Johanna Konanz Releases Spring 2012 Purses | Colorful Exotic Clutches & Satchels - 2011-11-21 23:25:01-05
    Former Salvatore Ferragamo designer Johanna Konanz is serving up vibrantly colored accessories this spring. Lurid hues like turquoise, purple, hot pink, canary yellow, and bright green could have appeared overwhelming, but by using classic handbag styles, the Ecuadorian designer has ensured things don't feel over the top. There are classic satchel bags and everyday wallets, and [...]
  3. Hobo International Rachel Wallet | Vintage Red Leather Kiss-Lock Clasp Purse - 2011-11-22 00:34:30-05
    Hobo International takes us back to a time before credit and store loyalty cards with this Rachel wallet. This purse wouldn't look out place on the set of Mad Men, with its traditional tri-fold design and brushed antique hardware. I particularly like this red leather version, perhaps because I can imagine how beautifully it'd work with [...]
  4. Elliott Lucca Rioja Wallet | Textured Black Leather Coin Purse - 2011-11-22 01:51:41-05
    Elliott Lucca reminds us that black leather doesn't have to be boring with this Rioja wallet. The classic cowhide is dressed up with vertical stitching and seams. The details create depth and texture along the traditionally colored leather which really livens up the typical wallet shape. The metal nameplate isn't really to my tastes, but it's [...]
  5. Valentino Readies Virtual Museum | New Computerized Fashion Archive - 2011-11-22 02:36:59-05
    On December 5 Valentino will launch a virtual museum, a project which seems like the high-tech equivalent of a traditional retrospective coffee table tome. On the launch date fans can download the museum via a desktop application. It will bring 50 years of Valentino's fashion history into your home, and the equivalent of 100, 000 square [...]
  6. Jessica Simpson Abby Wristlet | Red Faux Leather Flap Purse - 2011-11-22 03:08:53-05
    Jessica Simpson serves up her take on the classic wristlet with the Abby. Jessica Simpson has never been a fashion pioneer, so perhaps it's unsurprising to see this wristlet plays it safe. However while it's not a trend setter, it's still quite stylish. I'm particularly impressed by the faux leather, which is much more plush and [...]
  7. Versace Prepares Second H&M Line | Affordable Designer Spring 2012 Collection - 2011-11-22 04:09:27-05
    The dust has barely settled following the release of Versace's affordable collection for H&M, but it seems there's more on the way. The high end Italian fashion house is set to release another H&M collection as early as next February. The Mirror UK has even released a few images of the spring 2012 line, which is [...]
  8. Pour La Victoire Marseille Tote | Quirky Mongolian Lamb Fur Handbag - 2011-11-22 05:44:02-05
    The curly coat of the Mongolian lamb makes this Marseille tote from Pour La Victoire something special. I must admit though that I'm torn by the use of this fur. On a purely aesthetic level, it's quirky and interesting. I love the depth and texture it brings to the design, although I acknowledge that it's probably [...]
  9. Sherpani Ivy Shoulder Bag | Cute Orange Cotton Handbag - 2011-11-23 01:16:03-05
    Sherpani's created a purse of uncharacteristic style with the Ivy. It's certainly not sophisticated, but the Ivy's playful design is much prettier than most of the label's creations. They don't all take my fancy; the neutral Canyon bag's a bit boring and the artsy graphic on the Song for You is unrefined. But this Spice bag [...]
  10. Counterfeit Industry Exposed in Black Market Billions | Book Reveals Link Between Fake Bags & Terrorism - 2011-11-23 02:32:01-05
    Hitha Prabhakar's new book Black Market Billions explains the shocking link between counterfeit handbags and terrorism. The book follows closely the trail of one fake designer purse and one stolen handbag. Their journey starts in America's fashion capital New York City but takes us to the major terrorist cells of Al-Qaeda and Central America's drug [...]
  11. Jeffrey Campbell Rizzler Backpack | Colorblocked Purple Suede Tassel Decorated Knapsack - 2011-11-23 03:06:36-05
    The Rizzler is outrageously loud and ridiculously over-embellished. In fact, it might just be plain ridiculous. Yet for some reason I've fallen for the questionable charms of this Jeffrey Campbell backpack. I'm beginning to wonder about my tastes too, but hear me out. Jeffrey Campbell has a vision here, and he commits to it no matter [...]
  12. No New Versace for H&M for US | Online Exclusive Diffusion Line - 2011-11-23 04:44:34-05
    More details have come to light about Versace's forthcoming spring 2012 collection for H&M, and American fashion fans aren't going to like them one bit. Apparently the new collection will be released exclusively online on January 19. However H&M isn't launching an American e-store until the fall, some nine months after the debut of this new [...]
  13. 7 Chi Donna Mini Bag | Small Vintage Inspired Brown Leather Purse - 2011-11-23 05:15:21-05
    Ever on trend 7 Chi serves up its take on vintage fashion with this Donna Mini Bag. I'm surprised to see 7 Chi creating a bag so conservative, but with retro styling continuing to dominate the catwalks perhaps it's not so much of a stretch. 7 Chi wears this new sedate image well. I love the [...]
  14. Abas Terry Mini Cross-Body | Python Embossed Italian Leather Purse - 2011-11-24 01:23:33-05
    Abas helps us carry the essentials in style with this Terry mini cross-body bag. Exotic embossing is so hard to get right but Abas nails it every time. The glossy python finish on the Terry is no exception. I'm particularly fond of the subtle mottling of this Grecian white hue, but it's also available in black, [...]
  15. Payless Launches Holiday Designer Collections | New Christian Siriano & Lela Rose Bags & Shoes - 2011-11-24 02:35:00-05
    Payless' favorite designers, Christian Siriano and Lela Rose, have released Holiday Designer Collections, just in time for Christmas. Christian Siriano's line features three classic shoes with matching handbags. Fashionistas can choose from the Kiara wedge in classic black or more glamorous pewter, the fabric knot decorated Katia pump, and the comfortable black suede or leopard print [...]
  16. Adidas Moseley Backpack | Blue Plaid Print Polyester Knapsack - 2011-11-24 03:00:34-05
    Adidas takes the path well traveled with this Moseley Backpack. This isn't a knapsack that breaks rules. We've seen it all before, from its domed top to its dual padded straps. Even the blue plaid print has been done to death. But just because something's classic doesn't mean it should be dismissed. Styles and patterns earn [...]
  17. Free Erickson Beamon Jewelry Purse | Beauty.com Gifts China Club Clutch - 2011-11-24 04:45:04-05
    Beauty.com's exclusive free gift releases are coming thick and fast. Not even a month after introducing its free Issa London Safari beauty bag, the online beauty e-tailer is serving up a new China Club bag. This silky clutch purse is the handiwork of the designers behind the esteemed Erickson Beamon jewelry line. Karen and Vicki Beamon [...]
  18. Alaia Arabesque Calf Leather Tote | Sophisticated Black Studded Handbag - 2011-11-24 05:09:45-05
    Alaia proves that studs don't have to mean rock and roll with this chic Arabesque leather tote. Tiny pinhead studs are delicately applied to the tote's calf leather body to create a stunning arabesque pattern. The Middle Eastern inspired design is broken up by the extended ridged handles. The different textures give this tote the sort [...]
  19. Aldo Selfridge Star Clutch Bag | Sequined Black Baguette Purse - 2011-11-25 01:29:00-05
    With the silly season upon us, my taste in handbags is tending towards the whimsical. I'm not looking for a clutch to see me through the year; I just want something fun and frivolous to take to a few holiday parties. And I've found just that in Aldo's Selfridge Clutch. Aldo has jazzed up this clutch's [...]
  20. Coach Designs Blogger Bag with Fashion Foie Gras | Emily Johnston Co-Designs British Camera Tote - 2011-11-25 02:17:43-05
    Coach might be eyeing expansion in China, but that doesn't mean it's forgotten about its other key markets. The American label has recruited London-based fashion blogger Emily Johnston of Fashion Foie Gras to help them create a bag for fellow online writers. This is one of Coach's most stylish handbags with its elegantly stitched corners, textured [...]
  21. Alexander McQueen Mink & Ostrich Box Clutch | Luxurious Exotic Pompom Knuckle Duster Purse - 2011-11-25 03:43:09-05
    You can say what you want about Alexander McQueen's purses, but one adjective you'll probably never use is boring. While I'm not the greatest fan of this Mink & Ostrich Box Clutch, I can appreciate its design risks. I'm so taken by its body. The deep eggplant colored ostrich skin is gorgeous, and the polished silver [...]
  22. Bid on Celebrity Handbags for Bag to Save a Life | Tilda Swinton Donates Chanel & Victor & Rolf Purses - 2011-11-25 04:11:03-05
    Actress Tilda Swinton is the latest celebrity to donate handbags to Save the Children's Bag to Save a Life appeal. Swinton has donated a Chanel purse and a Victor & Rolf bag to the drive, which launches today. Swinton's handbags join designer accessories previously owned by Sienna Miller, Florence Welch, Georgia May Jagger, Annie Lennox, and [...]
  23. Alexander Wang Lydia Clutch | Rabbit Fur Charm Metallic Purse - 2011-11-25 05:37:18-05
    Alexander Wang takes a step too far with this Lydia clutch. I really like what this purse is at its core. I appreciate the way Alexander Wang has played with the traditional flap over clutch design, giving it an almost futuristic feel with its angular, clean lines. The glitzy blush metallic also makes a fresh change [...]
  24. Alexis Hudson Prism Wristlet | Middle Eastern Styled Sequin Purse - 2011-11-26 01:18:21-05
    Alexis Hudson injects a little Middle Eastern flair into this pretty Prism wristlet. I can imagine stumbling across this purse in an exotic bazaar in Marrakech or Dubai. Its unusual diamond shape and long tassel accent give it a beautiful bohemian flair. Its glitzy sequined panel complements the lush bronze leather beautifully. There are all-leather versions [...]
  25. DKNY Collaborates with Bag Snob Bloggers | Limited Edition 5-Piece Handbag Line - 2011-11-26 02:42:37-05
    When the bloggers at Bag Snob slagged off a DKNY handbag, they probably never imagined they would work with the label a couple of years later. However this bout of internet snarking has given birth to an unexpected design collaboration. It all came about when DKNY's PR department spotted the offending review. They could easily have [...]
  26. Alla Leather Art Empire Shoulder Bag | Red Snake Embossed Handbag - 2011-11-26 03:34:17-05
    Alla Leather Art takes a walk on the wilder side with this Empire shoulder bag. Ordinarily this fashion house deals with smooth buttery matte leathers. However this time around it's given its skin a luxurious snake print. It does a good job mimicking the serpent, but I'm left feeling unfulfilled. The glossy treatment of the leather [...]
  27. Gucci Designs Marrakech for Dubai | Exclusive United Arab Emirates Handbag - 2011-11-26 04:10:30-05
    Dubai is one of the most luxurious destinations on the planet, so it makes sense that Gucci's new limited edition Marrakech handbag, which is available exclusively in the UAE capital, is incredibly opulent. Midnight blue and metallic taupe python comes together in the Middle Eastern inspired design. The bag's soft silhouette is embellished with bohemian tassels, [...]
  28. American West Crystal Canyons Shoulder Bag | Zebra Print Studded Handbag - 2011-11-27 01:37:53-05
    Once upon a time I thought I knew American West. Its handbags were inspired by the Western frontier, embellished with hand-tooled details and rendered in earthy tones. But then somewhere along the way things changed. The result is accessories like this Crystal Canyons shoulder bag. Its zebra printed panels are paired with a crystal and stud [...]
  29. Unusual Handbag Contents Revealed | British Survey Spills Bag Secrets - 2011-11-27 02:43:48-05
    A British survey conducted on behalf of online accessories store AnjliLondon.com has revealed the weird and wonderful items that the UK's women stash in their handbags. Around 80% of women carried common essentials like cosmetics, cell phones, wallets, keys, hand mirrors, painkillers, tissues, hair brushes, and umbrellas. Spare underwear was also common, with around a quarter [...]
  30. Anne Klein Perfectly Pleated Clutch | Croc Embossed Black Synthetic Purse - 2011-11-27 03:20:08-05
    Anne Klein has been blowing her trumpet a bit lately. We recently looked at the Perfect Tote, and now we see the Perfectly Pleated Clutch. The problem with calling something the perfect anything, is that people tend to judge it more harshly, looking for faults and holes. And with a $59 clutch, it doesn't take too [...]
  31. Humane Society Accused Retailers of Selling Mislabelled Real Fur | Fake Furs Not so Faux - 2011-11-27 04:09:11-05
    Many eco-minded stylistas are rejecting authentic fur accessories and apparel and seeking out faux fur alternatives. However the Humane Society of the United States says shoppers may be getting more than they bargained for. The non-profit group filed a legal petition with the Federal Trade Commission this week accusing 11 retailers for misrepresenting faux fur [...]
  32. Antik Batik Ninon Tote | Beaded Black Suede Handbag - 2011-11-28 01:43:11-05
    Antik Batik's bags have always been a bit hit and miss for me. This Ninon tote strangely falls into both categories. I can't ever recall beads looking as lovely as they do here. The golden beads pop against the bag's soft suede body, creating a striking abstract sunburst pattern. The combination of black and gold looks [...]
  33. Coach Secures Hong Kong Stock Exchange Listing | American Handbag Company Listing from December 1 - 2011-11-28 02:40:47-05
    Coach has been successful in its bid to secure a secondary listing on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. It will begin to trade on the Asian country's market on December 1. Coach already lists on the New York Stock Exchange, but with its plans to increase its profile in Asia it makes sense to secure [...]
  34. Anuschka Expandable Tote | Hand Painted Flower Patterned Leather Handbag - 2011-11-28 03:35:12-05
    Anuschka has made a bag for the pack rats with this expandable tote. This tote is packed with features, but its biggest draw card is its full length side zippers. When opened up they take the already sizable tote from large to enormous. This tote also has the functional features to cope with all that extra [...]
  35. Ressac Bags Turn Bike Tubes Into Accessories | Sustainable Upcycled Canadian Purses - 2011-11-28 04:05:08-05
    Canadian designer Anne Painchaud-Oullet combines contemporary styling with social responsibility with her accessories label, Ressac Bags. Painchaud-Oullet uses punctured inner bicycle tubes to create her eco-friendly, durable, and water resistant purses. The material looks surprisingly like leather, but of course it's much kinder to the planet. The construction of Ressac Bags saves the used bike tubes [...]
  36. Anya Hindmarch Inspire Tote | Cute Light Bulb Canvas Handbag - 2011-11-28 05:09:39-05
    It's probably something that a writer shouldn't admit, but I'm running low on inspiration today. I'm battling the typical Mondayitis and a head cold all at once. It's not a lot of fun, which is perhaps why I'm drawn to this cheerful Inspire Tote. I'm a little skeptical that it will deliver the inspiration it [...]
