- Rebecca Minkoff Spend/Save Wallet | Eyelet Decorated Black Leather Zip Around Purse - 2011-10-31 04:29:34-04
Rebecca Minkoff has a bit of fun with fashion with this playful Spend/Save Wallet. From the outside it looks like so many modern wallets, although it has a bit more flair than the average. Studs and eyelets dot its black leather body in a regular formation, creating a finish that's edgy but not completely out of [...]
- Jenny Craig's Granddaughter Turns Handbag Designer | New Morton & Hudson Purses - 2011-10-31 16:41:36-04
Sydney Weinger, the granddaughter of diet queen Jenny Craig, is behind new accessories line Morton & Hudson. The Parsons School of Design graduate creates high-quality Italian leather purses with a minimalist aesthetic. This helps ensure the accessories are not just timeless, but also season-less. Weinger says her grandmother has been an inspiration as she built her [...]
- Inge Christopher Charlott Clutch | Dramatic Laser Cut Leather Evening Purse - 2011-10-31 18:13:02-04
Inge Christopher gets Gothic with this beautiful Charlott Clutch. I can't help thinking of intricate old architecture and stained glass windows as I take in this purse. Bold golden satin peeps through black lambskin leather, which is laser-cut in an elaborate floral pattern. The effect is so striking, or at least it is in this color. [...]
- Lauren Merkin Blair Clutch | Gray Snake Embossed Calfskin Purse - 2011-11-01 23:51:28-04
Lauren Merkin takes a more straight-laced approach than usual with this Blair clutch. The designer is famous for her gently pleated purses, so it's refreshing to see one with a different finish. The Blair's clean lines make it seem a little more androgynous and sophisticated, less girly girl and more modern woman. I appreciate the approach [...]
- PETA Slams Reese Witherspoon | Actress Criticized for Python Chloe Paraty Bag - 2011-11-02 00:20:33-04
Reese Witherspoon is the latest celebrity to feel PETA's wrath after she stepped out carrying a python skin Chloe Paraty purse. PETA glibly declared that "No matter how much Reese paid for that bag, the animals paid a higher price." The animal rights group then went on to explain that millions of snakes are impaled on [...]
- Big Buddha Uptown Satchel | Classic Quilted Black Vegan Leather Handbag - 2011-11-02 00:52:34-04
Big Buddha's encouraging high class women to consider animal-free leather with this Uptown Satchel. Big Buddha tends to favor synthetics rather than real leather, but it's rare to find them as lovely as this one. While it's a bit thin the leatherette is very soft. It probably won't fool anyone, but it's certainly worth the $104.95 [...]
- Brooks Brothers Debuts on ShopNBC | New Handbags & Accessories for Home Shopping Network - 2011-11-02 01:37:02-04
Iconic American label Brooks Brothers will make its small screen debut with an appearance on shopping network ShopNBC later this month. The hour-long program, which will screen first on November 18, will feature Brooks Brothers' leather purses, silk scarves, cashmere wraps, and jewelry. Lou Amendola, the chief merchandising officer at Brooks Brothers, said his firm was [...]
- Helen Riegle Honesty Saddle Bag | Layered Green Recycled Microsuede Handbag - 2011-11-02 01:52:36-04
Being green is about more than color with this Honesty Saddle Bag from Helen Riegle. It's called the Honesty because its layers were inspired by the large leaves of the Honesty plant, or the Silver Dollar as it's often called. It makes sense for this handbag to take its cues from nature as it's very environmentally [...]
- Lucky Brand Ojai Cross-Body Bag | Bohemian Ivory Crocheted Purse - 2011-11-02 20:26:44-04
Lucky Brand revisits its bohemian roots with this Ojai cross-body bag. This purse feels like it's stepped right out of the late 60s with its natural ivory toned crochet finish and relaxed tan leather accents. It's not very luxurious, but it's just the thing for putting the finishing touches on a boho inspired accent. I can [...]
- Tintamar Launches Limited Edition Travel Bags | Peacock & Sparkling Purses for Christmas - 2011-11-02 22:00:36-04
French travel accessories label Tintamar gave attendees at the recent Tax Free World Association World Exhibition a sneak peek at its latest additions, including a pair of lavish limited edition lines. Luxury lovers will be drawn to the Peacock Collection, a small limited edition line accented with real peacock feathers. These plumes are complemented by velvety [...]
- Sherpani Mia Shoulder Bag | Affordable Khaki Nylon Handbag - 2011-11-02 23:14:28-04
Sherpani puts functionality ahead of fashion with this Mia shoulder bag. It's not that this messenger-style shoulder bag is ugly, but it doesn't have all those things that make us turn green with accessory envy. It's not made from an exotic skin, or even a soft, supple leather. Nylon might be durable, but it's also pretty [...]
- Reese Witherspoon Ditches Python Chloe Paraty | Actress Bows to PETA Pressure - 2011-11-02 23:49:56-04
Reese Witherspoon has bowed to pressure from PETA and vowed to stop carrying her python skin Chloe Paraty purse. It's believed Witherspoon's decision came after she watched a documentary, sent to her by the animal rights group, which outlined the appalling way snakes are treated by the fashion industry. Reese was quick to tell PETA she'd decided [...]
- Melie Bianco Sydney Satchel | Woven Mustard Yellow Synthetic Handbag - 2011-11-03 01:28:17-04
The always affordable Melie Bianco serves up an alternative to high class woven satchels with this Sydney bag. The Sydney obviously takes its cues from Bottega Veneta and other high end designer labels, although its weave is much wider than the ones these fashion houses employ. Luxury lovers may crave that intricate finish, but when we [...]
- MZ Wallace Bea Satchel | Pleated Navy Nylon Purse - 2011-11-03 02:34:02-04
Some well placed pleats make this Bea Satchel from MZ Wallace as pretty as a picture. This satchel really is all about the pleats. The vertical folds create texture and drama on this simply shaped satchel. Simple doesn't mean boring here though. The silhouette is ladylike and sophisticated, like something the Mad Men cast might carry [...]
- Kris Van Assche Designs for Eastpak | Second Collaborative Collection from Dior Homme Designer - 2011-11-03 03:29:01-04
Dior Homme's creative director Kris Van Assche has created his second collection for travel label Eastpak. The new line retains the minimalist approach we saw in the first, which should ensure it appeals to the lads and the ladies. The bags are made predominantly of hardy cotton, with the occasional splash of leather to dress things [...]
- Pour La Victoire Tiered Hobo | Unique Distressed Olive Leather Handbag - 2011-11-03 23:11:33-04
Pour La Victoire shakes up the traditional hobo with this unique tiered design. The unusual tiered finish is beautiful, but its appeal goes beyond the aesthetic. Every tier is actually an open pocket, offering us more storage space than we'd expect. Those pockets aren't secure, but they're a great place for stashing chapsticks, tissues, and other [...]
- Madonna Plans Truth or Dare Collection | Queen of Pop Readies Adult Accessories - 2011-11-04 00:36:51-04
Madonna's Material Girl collection caters for young things her daughter's age, but the pop star's core fan base tends to be significantly older. So it makes sense that Lady M is launching a new lifestyle brand called Truth or Dare for a more mature demographic. The line, which will hit stores next year, hopes to appeal [...]
- Jeffrey Campbell Abbate Bag | Small Neon Pink Fanny Pack Purse - 2011-11-04 01:50:16-04
Jeffrey Campbell serves up a pop of 80s with this Abbate Bag. This purse takes me right back to my childhood with its fanny pack style and lurid neon pink hue. The patent leather finish is probably far too bright to please anyone who isn't of my vintage, but the nostalgia factor should win it a [...]
- Nicole Lee Helene Clutch | Unusual Orange Mini Purse with Floral Accents - 2011-11-04 02:15:06-04
Nicole Lee is one of those designers that marches to the beat of her own drum. She doesn't always nail her accessories, but at least you can't accuse them of being boring. This Helene clutch is another surprising, and surprisingly affordable, handbag from her collection. The Helene's large curved flap is decorated with strips of floral [...]
- Hermes Top Luxury Brand | Handbag Label Voted Most Luxurious - 2011-11-04 03:39:02-04
Hermes, Tod's, and Chanel make the world's most covetable handbags according to a new Luxury Brand Status Index (LBSI) survey released by New York's Luxury Institute. The survey saw luxury fans in European nations rating their favorites in a range of categories. Stylistas in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Germany considered the quality, social status, [...]
- Botkier Sebastian Hobo | Origami Folded Leather Handbag - 2011-11-04 04:41:39-04
Botkier's inspired my heart to skip a few beats with this Sebastian hobo. The sumptuous origami folded finish offers a unique alternative to a traditional weave. The surface reminds me a little of large reptilian scales, or perhaps roof shingles. It's so beautiful, so I'm glad Botkier's allowed it to stand alone. The Sebastian has a [...]
- GreenSmart Releases Markhor Laptop Bag | Tech Case Saves Endangered Goats - 2011-11-04 05:31:06-04
Eco-friendly accessories label GreenSmart has gone high tech with the launch of its new laptop bag, called the Markhor. The stylish sustainable purse features a fashion forward asymmetrical pocketed face, short top handles, and a detachable shoulder strap. It's also available in black, gray, or the ocean blue color pictured. But really its looks are secondary [...]
- Big Buddha Studio Crossbody | Glitzy Pink Sequined Purse - 2011-11-04 06:10:21-04
Big Buddha may have created its most outrageous purse yet with this Studio Cross-Body Bag. The name calls to mind Studio 54, the New York discotheque frequented by a who's who of 80s celebrities. I doubt this bag would have looked out of place there, but it might not blend as seamlessly into your everyday life. Something [...]
- BelArno Tri-Zip Clutch | Convertible Purple Leather Wristlet - 2011-11-05 22:46:00-04
BelArno's created a fun and functional purse with this Tri-Zip Clutch. Its simple design is livened up by bright stripes of color. We're taken from a pale violet to a deep eggplant shade with this purple clutch, but it's just one of five options. That includes a solid black version for the traditionalists. Personally that purse [...]
- Betty Boop Fights Breast Cancer | New Charity Tote for Sandra Ibarra Foundation - 2011-11-05 23:49:44-04
Breast Cancer Awareness Month might be over, but fashion firm Karactermania is continuing to fight against the disease with the release of a limited edition Betty Boop bag. The handbag is the cornerstone of the Be Solidary! Be Boop! campaign, which looks to raise awareness of the importance of prevention and early detection of the disease. [...]
- Rebecca Minkoff Circle Quilted Casanova Satchel | Red Leather Studded Purse - 2011-11-06 00:48:32-04
Allow yourself to be romanced by this Casanova satchel from Rebecca Minkoff. The Casanova has been one of Minkoff's most popular designs for some time, and it's little wonder. It's got a classic charm, but its unusual scalloped flap and delicate turn-lock closure ensure it's more than just another satchel. The circle quilting gives this variety [...]
- Missoni Designs for OrphanAid Africa | Designer Daughter Creates Povery Fighting Fashion - 2011-11-06 01:13:54-04
If you missed out on Missoni's cut-price line for Target you're in luck. Margherita Maccapani Missoni, the daughter of Missoni's creative director for women's wear and an accessories designer in her own right, will soon launch a new affordable line with OrphanAid Africa. This is Margherita's first solo collection, and it comes with a healthy [...]
- Coach Poppy Ostrich Feather Purse | Stylish Silver Evening Bag - 2011-11-06 02:14:00-05
If all the bright colors from Coach's youthful Poppy line were starting to make your eyes hurt, then feast your peepers on this sexy silver Ostrich Feather Purse. Genuine ostrich feathers fall softly from a wide band of hand-sewn beads and faceted jewels. The styling evokes the roaring twenties, although the ostrich feathers bring a modern [...]
- Bueno of California Buys Treesje | Handbag Label Plans Lifestyle Expansion - 2011-11-06 02:47:00-05
Bueno of California is promising to take Treesje to the next label after taking ownership of the accessories label. Bueno of California owner Joseph Pagliaro says the firm has "tremendous potential in the global marketplace." He hopes the financial, sourcing, and operational support his firm can provide will help the label realize its true potential. Treesje designers [...]
- The SAK Sport Crochet Duffel | Small Taupe Top Zip Handbag - 2011-11-06 21:45:58-05
The SAK gives the classic sports duffel a bohemian makeover with this crochet purse. This duffel looks like so many gym bags on the market, with one vital difference. The nylon we're used to has been replaced with a tightly woven crochet finish. It doesn't seem like a very practical choice, but The SAK assures us [...]
- FEED Projects Bags at Godiva | Chocolate Company Launches New Charity Programs - 2011-11-07 00:26:26-05
Godiva has teamed up with FEED Projects for a tasty new bag collaboration. Godiva will sell exclusively designed FEED bags at its registers as part of its new Lady Godiva charity program. The bags are handcrafted from African textiles and assembled by workers at a Liberian factory, the first Fair Trade certified female-run plant on the [...]
- Vieta Julia Clutch | Studded Bow Decorated Leatherette Purse - 2011-11-07 01:16:58-05
Vieta proves that even a smattering of studs can be too much with this Julia clutch. There's a lot of white space here, but that doesn't save the Julia. There may not be many studs, but their variety makes them appear overwhelming. We get silver and gold, pyramids and classic domed studs, all working together in [...]
- Novelty Handbag for Wine Lovers | The Scandinavian Design Center's New Baggy Winecoat - 2011-11-07 02:03:36-05
The Scandinavian Design Center has created the perfect handbag for anyone who enjoys a tipple. The Baggy Winecoat allows you to take your favorite box wine with you wherever you need to go. The creators assure us that it's very easy to use. You simply take the plastic baggie from its original box, insert it into [...]
- Juicy Couture Gifting Bow Capsule Clutch | Quilted Cowhide Silver Purse - 2011-11-07 03:16:24-05
I haven't always been a Juicy Couture fan, but with this Gifting Bow clutch it's created the kind of purse I'd love to find underneath my Christmas tree. Big bows like the one adorning this clutch are Juicy Couture staples. They're unashamedly girly and a whole lot of fun, but they can easily appear over the [...]
- Stylish Camera Bags from Jo Totes | Practical Pretty Photography Handbags - 2011-11-07 04:12:04-05
Shutterbugs needn't sacrifice style when they're carrying their camera thanks to the fashion forward range of handbags from Jo Totes. These chic purses are a world away from the big, bulky camera bags we're used to. They're made from high quality leatherette rendered in classic black and brown hues, along with more youthful teal and mustard [...]
- Dooney & Bourke Spicy Sac | Quilted Yellow Canvas Bucket Bag with Tan Leather Trim - 2011-11-07 05:04:20-05
Bright yellow canvas brings some zing to this Spicy Sac from Dooney & Bourke. This cheery fabric helps make this traditional bucket style bag seem much more interesting. Unfortunately it's let down though by its leather trim. While the cowhide is luxurious, its color is really insipid. The vibrant yellow deserved a much stronger partner, perhaps [...]
