- Botkier Eden Satchel | Retro Colorblocked Pink Cowhide Purse - 2011-12-05 22:21:50-05
It's too bright to suit everyone, but I'm tickled pink by this Eden Satchel from Botkier. I haven't always embraced the colorblocked trend, but I love the combination of bold pink cowhide and bright red lambskin. It's an unconventional color palette, and one which will probably divide fashionistas, but I appreciate its unique looks. Happily Botkier [...]
- eBay's Oryany Handbag Sale | Fashion Vault Discounts Purses for Christmas - 2011-12-05 22:45:59-05
You promised it'd be different this year, that you'd start earlier and have the season all wrapped up before December rolled around. However now there's just 20 days until Santa comes a-knocking, and your tree still looks bare. Thankfully eBay has come to the rescue with its latest Fashion Vault sale. The popular auction site has [...]
- Bottega Veneta Belly Bag | Sophisticated Woven Navy Leather Hobo Handbag - 2011-12-05 23:58:22-05
It's got a silly name, but this Belly Bag from Bottega Veneta oozes sophisticated style. The cute moniker perhaps stems from this hobo's softly rounded shape. If we use our imaginations I suppose we could see it like the portly tummy of a jolly old man. However that comparison soon fades as we run our hands [...]
- Dee Ocleppo Creates Handbags | Tommy Hilfiger's Wife Launches Design Career - 2011-12-06 00:01:21-05
Dee Ocleppo is following in the footsteps of her famous husband Tommy Hilfiger and launching a handbag collection. The idea for Designs by Dee Ocleppo came about when she was helping her beau on his forthcoming Home Shopping Network line. If she could inject some creativity into his diffusion line, scheduled to hit the television shopping [...]
- Bourne Stephanie Clutch | Sequin Covered Black Flower Accented Minaudiere - 2011-12-06 00:40:23-05
Bourne delivers glitz and glamour in a convenient hand-held package with the Stephanie clutch. Love it or loathe it; there's certainly no ignoring this purse. Its egg shape is eye-catching, particularly as it's covered in tiny glittering sequins. And if we still weren't paying attention, there's an oversized flower accent with a flashy beaded center. It's [...]
- Bulga Bunt Satchel | Classic Ruched Orange Leather Carry-All Bag - 2011-12-06 02:22:37-05
Bulga serves up classic good looks with a modern twist with the Bunt Satchel. It seems strange to ever call an orange handbag with such unusual details classic, but somehow despite the quirks Bulga makes sure this satchel is reserved. The color is unexpected, and so is the shape. I love the way it flares out [...]
- Alexis Hudson Launches Holiday Handbags | Shoulder Bags & Clutches for Christmas - 2011-12-06 15:18:23-05
Alexis Hudson has released a glam new accessories line just in time for hard days spent at the mall and our yearly Christmas parties. The label's holiday collection features a selection of day purses and evening clutches. The line looks to be a bridge between the styles from the current season and the trends we've seen [...]
- Bulgari Monete Shoulder Bag | Nude Calfskin Drawstring Handbag - 2011-12-06 21:15:02-05
Bulgari has such a way with materials that it can make even a drawstring handbag seem elegant. This Monete Shoulder Bag is a delicious case in point. It's strange that I'm so drawn to this shoulder bag because it's everything that I ordinarily hate. I tend to find nudes bland, but the gentle wrinkling and warm [...]
- Nicole Richie Rumored for Halston | Celebrity Designer Might Model for Retro Label - 2011-12-06 23:56:38-05
After parting ways with Sarah Jessica Parker earlier this year, it seems Halston is on the lookout for a new celebrity face. And it just might have found it in Nicole Richie. The socialite and former reality TV star is probably incredibly busy designing her Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960 lines, not to mention [...]
- Burberry Ada Clutch | Black & White Herringbone Raffia Purse - 2011-12-07 00:44:04-05
Burberry abandons its usual Nova check for a much wilder herringbone print with this Ada clutch. I didn't think I'd ever describe herringbone as wild either, but the treatment Burberry's used here is quite surreal. It reminds me of those optical illusions that make your eyes go all cross-eyed. The unusual print makes the classic black [...]
- Calvin Klein St. Moritz Satchel | Expandable Pewter Quilted Leather Handbag - 2011-12-07 01:47:20-05
Calvin Klein's created a classic satchel for the pack rats with the St. Moritz. The satchel takes its name from a Swiss ski resort, but it seems more like a metropolitan miss than a snow bunny. There's no fur or knit, none of the hallmarks of a typical winter handbag. But there is an icy charm [...]
- Plastenka's Upcycled Handbags | Hungary's Eco-Friendly Used Plastic Purses - 2011-12-07 02:23:28-05
The quartet of designing divas at Plastenka proves the old adage that one person's trash is another's treasure with their sustainable accessories range. The ladies turn plastic-based waste into their unique purses. The Hungary-based label isn't discerning about the litter it uses. The exteriors of their handbags are made from a hodgepodge of plastic products including [...]
- Carla Mancini Jackie Satchel | Studded Stitched Brown Leather Carry-All Bag - 2011-12-07 03:28:16-05
I must admit, I've never taken a lot of notice of Carla Mancini. Her accessories typically tend to blend into the background. However with this Jackie satchel she has me swooning. There's a lot going on here, but Mancini handles it so well that it doesn't seem overdone. The deep angular seams make the finish feel [...]
- Tonya Jacobsen Designs Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market Shopper | Customer Wins Supermarket Design Contest - 2011-12-07 18:42:05-05
Las Vegas Tonya Jacobsen is the winner of Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market's second annual Design-A-Bag contest. Ms Jacobsen's hand-painted fruit and veg design will grace the supermarket's latest limited edition reusable shopper. While I'm sure Jacobsen will be tickled pink to see her handiwork on the store's bags, she's also won a far more lucrative [...]
- Carlo Fellini Marilyn Clutch | Champagne Pleated Satin Evening Purse - 2011-12-07 21:54:02-05
Marilyn Monroe remains one of the world's most enduring stars. Almost 50 years after her death she's still emulated and adored by celebrities and fashion followers alike. No doubt Carlo Fellini will hope the clutch he's created in her name is every bit as timeless. He's certainly begun barking up the right tree. Its soft satiny [...]
- Carlos Falchi Zebretta Tote | Embossed Animal Stripe Red Microfiber Handbag - 2011-12-08 01:36:52-05
Carlos Falchi puts a modern spin on animal print with this Zebretta Tote. This is one of those rare Carlos Falchi handbags that looks much richer than it actually is. I'd started to feel that animal print was becoming passé, but the treatment here has changed my mind. I love the way the delicate zebra stripes [...]
- Hermes Birkin Sells for $203, 150 | Most Expensive Handbag Auctioned in Dallas - 2011-12-08 02:17:50-05
While many of us are feeling the effects of the latest credit crunch and wondering how we'll pay off our Christmas shopping, a private handbag collector has showed he or she still has money to burn. The anonymous bidder spend more than $203, 150 on a crocodile Hermes Birkin bag auctioned in Dallas this week. [...]
- CC Skye Leight Luxe Fringe Bag | Star Favorite Black Leather Shoulder Bag - 2011-12-08 03:22:32-05
Victoria's Secret babe Alessandra Ambrosio has one. So does blue-eyed actress Megan Fox. And unlike so many other celebrity favorites, you could have one too. Meet the Leight Luxe Fringe Bag from CC Skye. I'm not sure it's quite as luxurious as its name suggests, but this shoulder bag is crafted from a good looking pebbled [...]
- Coach Bags Photographed by Acclaimed Snappers | Photography Exhibition Celebrates 70 Years - 2011-12-08 04:45:03-05
Seven acclaimed photographers have come together to shoot a Coach purse to celebrate the American handbag label's 70th birthday. Coach president Reed Krakoff, Chen Man, Philip-Kora Dicorcia, Steven Sebring, Wang Shya, Sheila Metzner, and Mika Ninagawa all photographed the same Coach purse in New York City. It's amazing to see the different qualities the photographers brought [...]
- Celine Deerskin Bowler Bag | Sophisticated Camel Carryall Bag - 2011-12-08 05:31:31-05
Keep your balls and clown shoes away; this Deerskin Bowler Bag is far too sophisticated for carrying your bowling paraphernalia! It might seem counterintuitive to create a bowler that isn't made for sporting equipment, but Celine's design shows the evolution of this domed style. These days a high quality bowler is more likely to be seen [...]
- Chinese Laundry Braid Clutch | Budget White Synthetic Pleated Purse - 2011-12-09 01:33:38-05
Chinese Laundry proves cheap and cheerful doesn't have to come without charm with this Braid Clutch. Admittedly this is one of those purses that looks just as cheap as its price tag. Its synthetic body is stiff, so its pleats fall awkwardly. It's also got that tacky sheen we find in too many inferior man-made materials. [...]
- Dannii Minogue Hoards Handbags | Australian TV Star Shares Bag Collection Secrets - 2011-12-09 02:07:12-05
Australian television personality and sometimes singer Dannii Minogue is a hoarder, however her collection is one we'd all covet. Kylie's little sister told British Glamour magazine that she refuses to part with her designer purses, as she's sure she'll always find a use for them. Echoing the sentiments of thousands of Ordinary Janes across the planet, [...]
- Chloe High Tech Wristlet | Caramel Leather Convertible Clutch Purse - 2011-12-09 03:26:39-05
If there's one thing that bugs me, it's false advertising. If you use an adjective to name your accessory, it'd better live up to the hype. Needless to say, I'm disappointed by Chloe's High Tech Wristlet. The thing is, there's nothing high tech about this wristlet. Chloe claims it gets its name because it might be [...]
- Phillip Lim Readies 31 Hour | New Designer Bags for Busy Girls - 2011-12-09 04:51:25-05
Phillip Lim will launch a new handbag range, dubbed 31 Hour, next year. The new diffusion line is a companion to Phillip Lim's signature 3.1 Phillip Lim collection. The latest label gets its quirky title as it's targeted at girls who long for "more than 24 hours in a day." Consequently the purses will be practical, [...]
- Chocolate Danielle Hobo | Red Synthetic Handbag with Studded Handle - 2011-12-09 05:34:35-05
A smattering of studs and gemstones brings a glamorous edge to Chocolate's classic Danielle Hobo. While it doesn't have the crescent shape of the first hobos, its slouchy finish makes it look much closer to a hobo than many modern incarnations. The relaxed silhouette makes the Danielle perfect for everyday use. But everyday doesn't mean boring, [...]
- Christian Dior Granville Shoulder Bag | Dawn Gray Leather Chain Link Handbag - 2011-12-10 01:12:31-05
Christian Dior seems to have taken inspiration from a chef's hat when creating this Granville shoulder bag. I apologize for making that comparison, I really do. I know that once the image is in your mind it's very hard to shake. But for the purposes of giving this bag a fair, non-food related review, I'll do [...]
- Mulberry Increases Profits | Fashion House Expands International Operations After Strong Financial Results - 2011-12-10 02:47:49-05
Mulberry has enjoyed more success, posting an increased pre-tax profit of £15.6 million in the last six months, up from £4.7 million in the period prior. Those profits saw the fashion house's revenue increase by 62% to £72.3 million, compared with £44.7 million in 2010. Retail sales were also up by 47%, while wholesale shipments rose [...]
- Christian Louboutin Rino Satchel | Gem Nappa Top Handle Handbag - 2011-12-10 03:53:33-05
When I think of Christian Louboutin I think of whimsical evening purses and those striking red soled shoes. But with the Rino the label shows it can make day bags with the best of them. Needless to say, I'm enamored with this chic satchel. I love its sexy curved shape, and the way those lines are [...]
- Smartphone Sales Boost Handbag Industry | Customers Embrace New Shopping Technology - 2011-12-10 04:45:54-05
The accessories industry is reaping the benefits of a smartphone shopping boom. Digital market reporter comScore said that 38% of smartphone users have made at least one purchase from their device, and of those 37% purchased accessories or apparel items. The clothing sales are only bested by sales of digital content. Sales of MP3s, eBooks, television [...]
- Clara Kasavina Rosa Tote | Top Handle Crystal Decorated Evening Bag - 2011-12-11 01:21:31-05
With the holidays approaching, my social calendar is beginning to get crowded. These events provide a perfect excuse for splashing out on a dramatic evening bag, something like this Rosa tote from Clara Kasavina. This eye-catching top-handled purse makes a nice change of pace from classic clutches. That gently curved handle works with the soft sway [...]
- Vera Bradley Increases Profits | Sales Up at American Handbag Brand - 2011-12-11 02:29:38-05
High end designers like Mulberry and Prada aren't the only ones thriving in these tough financial times. More modest accessories label Vera Bradley is also enjoying its share of success, with a big 32% sales increase in the third quarter of the financial year. Sales amounted to $121.1 million, compared with $91.6 million at the [...]
- Cleobella Electra Fringe Hobo | Bohemian Brown Cotton Handbag - 2011-12-11 03:48:24-05
Cleobella delivers the handbag equivalent of Cousin It with this Electra Fringe Hobo. When used well fringing can create a fun western or bohemian vibe. But too much, as we see here, and a bag just seems hairy. The accents dominate the design rather than enhancing it, which is disappointing. I thought if the fringe didn't work [...]
- Victoria's Secret Opens Beauty & Accessories Store | New Concept Boutique Launches in China - 2011-12-11 04:11:10-05
Victoria's Secret has opened the doors to its first Beauty & Accessories concept store. The boutique at the Macau Sands Casino in China's Macau Peninsula is the first of 55 stores of its kind scheduled to open around the world. The 1,470 square foot space offers Victoria's Secret fans the label's beauty products and accessories. These [...]
- Coach Madison Gathered Leather Wallet | Black Accordion Style Zip Purse - 2011-12-12 01:53:37-05
Coach might be one of America's most enduring brands, but its accessories haven't always been to my taste. I found its earliest signature printed purses dull, and much of its youthful Poppy line too vibrant to find a place in my wardrobe. So I'm happy to see the label's found some middle ground with its [...]
- Mei Vintage Makes Kimono Bags | Sustainable Recycled Japanese Garment Purses - 2011-12-12 02:51:16-05
Alice Huang combines Eastern traditions and Western sophistication in her new handbag line Mei Vintage. My favorite Mei Vintage handbags are handcrafted from authentic vintage kimonos. The approach allows us to enjoy the gorgeous embroidered patterns and silky finish to the fabric while also keeping the items out of landfill and minimizing the usual production carbon [...]
