New at BagBunch: Anya Hindmarch Loves Margaret Thatcher | British Designer’s Store Tribute to The Iron Lady

Hi mary,

Check out the latest handbag fashion news and review at BagBunch.com:
  1. Anya Hindmarch Loves Margaret Thatcher | British Designer's Store Tribute to The Iron Lady - 2012-01-08 04:05:15-05
    Anya Hindmarch is paying tribute to one of her greatest icons, Margaret Thatcher, with The Iron Lady themed decorations in her Pont Street store. The boutique's mannequins are dressed in blue pussy box blouses, an array of brooches and pearls, and wigs mimicking Thatcher's trademark dos. It's just a small display which says volumes about the [...]
  2. Margaret Thatcher Bags Are Latest Trend | Iron Lady Inspires Modern Fashion - 2012-01-09 19:25:11-05
    With The Iron Lady in cinemas, its muse Margaret Thatcher is inspiring a new generation of fashionistas. The immovable hair and honeyed voice are difficult to replicate, but her rigid top-handled handbags are an attainable way to attract attention and command respect. Margaret Thatcher's famous accessories became such an integral part of her look that a [...]
  3. Kooba Halle Shoulder Bag | Contemporary Brown Leather Zip Front Purse - 2012-01-09 22:14:03-05
    The earthiness of brown leather tends to take me back to the swinging sixties or the wild wild west. But Kooba proves it can scream city chic with this Halle shoulder bag. Rather than using a common shade of brown, Kooba's opted for a hue with elegant gray undertones. This works with the silver zip which [...]
  4. Leonardo da Vinci Designed Handbag | Gherardini Creates Pretiosa Purse - 2012-01-09 23:02:42-05
    We know Leonardo da Vinci as an artist, a scientist, a writer, an engineer, an inventor, and even a musician. So perhaps it's not surprising that historians have just discovered he was also a handbag designer. Academics have put together fragments of drawings which make up a purse da Vinci designed in around 1497. Alessandro Vezzosi, the [...]
  5. Kensie Girl Bow It Up Cross-Body Bag | Girly Pink Leatherette Handbag - 2012-01-10 00:05:47-05
    For some time now I've been coveting the oh-so-cute purses from Kensie Girl. But every fashion house has a bad day, and it seems Kensie Girl had its when it created the Bow It Up cross-body. I really like what Kensie Girl was going for here. The discreet metal bow is a lovely way to add [...]
  6. Kotur Espey Clutch | Glitzy Ombre Sequined Metallic Purse - 2012-01-10 01:45:33-05
    There's something to be said for the classics. The market is flooded with sequin covered clutch purses, yet somehow this Espey clutch from Kotur manages to make a big impression. Part of the secret must be the cleverly selected metallic sequins. The tiny polished discs move from a pale gold to a deep bronze in a [...]
  7. Jimmy Choo's Handbag Fight Advertisement | Magdela Fracowiaka & Jamie Bochert Argue in Spring 2012 Ad - 2012-01-10 02:02:11-05
    I can really sympathize with models Magdela Fracowiaka and Jamie Bochert, the stars of Jimmy Choo's spring 2012. If anyone tried to take that colorblocked satchel from my clutches, I'd probably fight them for it too! Acclaimed photographer Terry Richardson captured the squabbling beauties for this technicolor advertising campaign. The label says it was inspired by [...]
  8. L.A.M.B. Marlene Satchel | Classic Black Quilted Leather Handbag - 2012-01-10 03:09:29-05
    Gwen Stefani's taken an uncharacteristically conservative approach to fashion with this Marlene satchel. Ordinarily L.A.M.B.'s accessories feature loud Rasta inspired color schemes, neon colors, or checkerboards, but there's none of that flamboyance here. Instead the soft tumbled leather finish is classically rendered with diamond quilting. The black color is another traditional choice. The Marlene's also perfectly serviceable, [...]
  9. Latico Leathers Delilah Cross-Body Bag | Studded Dual Flap Brown Leather Handbag - 2012-01-10 03:30:00-05
    Latico Leather celebrates studs with this Delilah cross-body bag. If you aren't a fan of the metal accents you probably won't look twice at this purse. Hundreds of the brass nail heads cover this handbag's large boxy pockets. It could easily have been overkill, but by keeping the rest of the Delilah relatively plain I think [...]
  10. HEX Readies Fleet Collection | New Striped Tech Accessories Line - 2012-01-10 04:25:08-05
    HEX is preparing to release a protective new line of tech accessories known as the Fleet Collection. The label will launch the range at the upcoming Style at CES event. The Fleet Collection, Hex's third line, features 12 practical pieces including messenger bags, backpacks, totes, and laptop sleeves for MacBooks, iPads, and PC laptops. Each accessory [...]
  11. La Regale Mesh Hard Body Clutch | Leopard Printed Gold Metal Purse - 2012-01-10 05:28:02-05
    I love leopard print, but I'm never sure how to wear it without appearing like a cougar. However I think I might have found my answer in this Mesh Hard Body Clutch from La Regale. This structured box clutch is crafted from golden metal mesh. The classic surface is made much more enticing with the addition [...]
  12. Lanvin Gypsie Tote | Sophisticated Black Leather Handbag with Removable Snakeskin Pouch - 2012-01-11 01:46:56-05
    When I think of Lanvin I think of big beautiful bows, bold colors, and a healthy dose of whimsy. But the European label shows it can rein in its natural flamboyance and still get results with this Gypsie Tote. This is one of those special black handbags that manages to turn heads, despite its conservative color. [...]
  13. Fashion Designers Support Barack Obama | Buy Limited Edition Political Fashions at Runway to Win - 2012-01-11 02:47:17-05
    Leading fashion designers have banded together to create Runway to Win, an e-commerce site which supports reigning American president Barack Obama's bid for a second term. The online store will feature limited edition T-shirts, scarves, tote bags, and bracelets from some of fashion's biggest names, including Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch, Jason Wu, and [...]
  14. Big Buddha's New Boutique Bags | Affordable Diffusion Purse Line - 2012-01-11 04:29:46-05
    Big Buddha is expanding its accessories range with the launch of a new diffusion collection called Buddha Boutique. Buddha Boutique looks to reward its loyal customers who've seen the original Big Buddha grow to become one of the largest affordable fashion labels in America. It looks to "show something different than what's in the department stores [...]
  15. Laura Matthews Designs Furry Purse | Gray Faux Fur Cross-Body Bag - 2012-01-11 05:02:25-05
    Laura Matthews has created a purse that lives up to its name with the Furry. This striking handbag is very furry indeed, but animal activists will happily note that no critters were harmed in its production. Thankfully its gentle smoke-gray stripes ensure it looks like the real thing, even if it is an ethical imposter. I love [...]
  16. Laurel & Sunset Utilitarian Hobo Bag | Convertible Practical Brown Leatherette Handbag - 2012-01-12 01:24:46-05
    According to dictionary definitions, utilitarian is a word describing something designed for use rather than beauty. So it's only fitting that Laurel & Sunset's used the word to christen this hobo bag. I wouldn't say the Utilitarian's an ugly duckling, but it clearly puts functionality first. Its dark brown color is a bit boring but it'll [...]
  17. Dolce & Gabbana's Hong Kong Photo Ban | Italian Fashion Firm Accused of Racism - 2012-01-12 02:57:38-05
    Dolce & Gabbana has ignited a media storm in Hong Kong as its security guards have forbidden onlookers from snapping photos of its store front. The fashion firm claims its efforts are an attempt to protect its intellectual property, but The Wall Street Journal claims something more insidious may be going on. It reports that while [...]
  18. Lauren Merkin Essex Clutch | Glossy Black Snake Print Michelle Fantaci Designs Leather Purse - 2012-01-12 03:03:43-05
    I enjoyed Lauren Merkin's distinctive pleated clutch purses when I first discovered them, but her formulaic designs became tired pretty quickly. So I'm thrilled to see her working with Michelle Fantaci, a designer who's breathed new life into the label with bags like the Essex. While it's still a clutch purse, The Essex is much sleeker [...]
  19. Yayoi Kasuma Designs for Louis Vuitton | Japanese Artist Commissioned for LV Capsule Collection - 2012-01-12 04:47:45-05
    It's set to be a very spotty season for Louis Vuitton. The esteemed fashion label's teamed up with polka-dot loving Japanese painter Yayoi Kasuma for its new capsule collection. We'll see Yayoi Kasuma's art decorating a range of Louis Vuitton products, including leather handbags, footwear, watches, jewelry, and apparel items, this July. The collaboration will be [...]
  20. LeSportsac Pet Carrier | Practical Affordable Dog Bag with Leash - 2012-01-12 05:41:08-05
    Paris Hilton isn't the only one who loves having her furry best friend with her at all times. While the socialite is happy to carry her chihuahua inside a luxury designer purse, the rest of us are looking for a more affordable alternative. LeSportsac aims to put an end to our search with this pet [...]
  21. Lily Waters Tina Tote | Quilted Fabric Toggle Carry-All Bag - 2012-01-13 01:11:51-05
    Did we need another tote from Lily Waters? Probably not, but we've got it with the Tina. The Tina joins Lily Waters other totes: the Isla, the Jodi, and the Tara. None of them are very revolutionary. They all have the same traditional box shape, the same diamond quilting, and the same fabric finish. They're even [...]
  22. Hermes Prices Set to Soar | Increased Costs for Luxury Handbags & Scarves - 2012-01-13 02:51:59-05
    Hermes accessories are set to get even more expensive. The luxury label's handbags, scarves, and shoes have never been cheap, but fans can expect a price hike of around nine per cent across the entire range in the coming weeks. The fashion industry is a little conflicted about exactly when the increase will come into effect. Workers [...]
  23. Linea Pelle Mel Tote | Black Italian Leather East-West Buckle Handbag - 2012-01-13 03:36:01-05
    Linea Pelle has created a bag for all seasons with the Mel Tote. The Mel is really the definition of a classic tote bag. Black leather is a traditional choice, and this one with its deep natural grain is a gorgeous specimen. Such a skin needs little embellishment so I'm thrilled to see Linea Pelle's taken [...]
  24. Marc Jacobs Talks Louis Vuitton Exhibition | The Louvre Display Won't Be Boring - 2012-01-13 04:18:38-05
    Marc Jacobs promises not to bore us with his upcoming Louis Vuitton exhibition at the Louvre's Musee des Arts Decoratifs. The designer says there's "nothing more boring" than an educational fashion display housed in a museum, or gazing at clothing draped over mannequins or stuck behind glass cabinets. So Jacobs show won't feature those dull elements, [...]
  25. Liz Claiborne Notting Hill Cross-Body Bag | Affordable Teal Leatherette Carry-All - 2012-01-13 05:18:20-05
    Liz Claiborne hasn't had a lot to smile about of late. Its business has gone through so much upheaval that it's a wonder it's had any time to create fashion. So I thought I'd look at one of the label's cheeriest creations, the Notting Hill Cross-Body Bag. I find it hard to resist any bag in [...]
  26. Lodis Brooklyn Jada Shoulder Bag | Mod Taupe Leather Convertible Purse - 2012-01-14 01:23:07-05
    Lodis goes mod with this Brooklyn Jada Shoulder Bag. Taupe isn't a color I ordinarily fall for, but I love the way the colored cross design makes this fairly bland hue much more appealing. The criss-crossing swatches are interesting but not overly feminine which may work in our favor. This is one handbag that men won't [...]
  27. Lady Gaga Rumored to Buy Designer Fakes | British Tabloid Claims Pop Queen Loves Counterfeits - 2012-01-14 02:02:48-05
    We tend to take the word of the United Kingdom's tabloid newspaper Mirror with a grain of salt, but if its latest allegations about Lady Gaga are true the pop queen may put a few fashion fans offside. The rag alleges that Gaga told a group of American fans that she indulges in designer knockoffs. "In [...]
  28. London Fog Middleton Satchel | Elegant Black PVC Handbag - 2012-01-14 03:16:51-05
    Middleton was the name on everyone's lips last year, whether you were admiring the poise of older sister Kate or the curves of young Pippa. So it's quite canny for London Fog to use the famous surname for this satchel. While its name will encourage eyeballs its design is ultimately disappointing. Its polyvinyl chloride body is [...]
  29. Michael Kors Hamilton Bag for Japan | Limited Edition Pink Handbag Helps Red Cross - 2012-01-14 04:22:02-05
    Michael Kors will release a limited edition Hamilton bag to assist ongoing earthquake relief efforts in Eastern Japan. The Hamilton has been one of Michael Kors most popular purses for a few years now, and this one's set to be even more covetable. The python embossed hot pink leather finish is bound to be divisive, but [...]
  30. Longchamp Legende Sports Satchel | Classic Cognac Leather Handbag - 2012-01-15 01:32:26-05
    Longchamp blows its own trumpet with this Legende Sports Satchel. I'm not sure its destined to be the legend that Longchamp hopes, but it's quite a stylish satchel. Don't let the sports part of its moniker confuse you; this isn't the sort of satchel you want to stuff with smelly trainers and sweaty towels. Those odors [...]
  31. Mary Kantrantzou for Longchamp | Greek Designer's Colorful Spring Totes - 2012-01-15 02:48:40-05
    Longchamp has teamed up with Greek fashion designer Mary Kantrantzou for a colorful new capsule collection. The line features the classic accessories Longchamp is famous for, but they're given a lift with Kantrantzou's rainbow colored digital prints. I really love the East meets West feel of the tote pictured, which features Asian dragons, floating lanterns and [...]
  32. Louis Vuitton Bijou Minaudiere | Elegant Tortoiseshell Logo Evening Purse - 2012-01-15 03:24:15-05
    Louis Vuitton shows it's got the stuff it takes to make minaudieres with the best of them. It's just a shame that the label still hasn't learned the art of restraint. There's a lot to love about this minaudiere. Its jewel shape is really striking, and I love the way its angled lines are emphasized with [...]
  33. Lindsay Lohan Models in Philipp Plein Advertisement | Troubled Actress Plays All-American Girl - 2012-01-15 04:20:58-05
    It's not quite Miu Miu, but Lindsay Lohan has managed to score herself a starring role in Philipp Plein's spring 2012 advertisement. Frankly the troubled starlet needs to take whatever work she can get these days. It seems Plein's supported her through thick and thin. She was sitting in the front row of his Milan Fashion [...]
  34. Lucky Brand Taluca Lake Cross-Body | Mini Faux Fur Purse - 2012-01-16 01:26:47-05
    The fashion world may be looking ahead to spring, but Lucky Brand lets us hold on to winter for a little longer with this Taluca Lake cross-body bag. The Taluca Lake brings a cold weather feel to Lucky Brand's bohemian vision. The plush faux fur finish is complemented by soft suede accents. The furry finish looks [...]
  35. Galliano Does Hunter S. Thompson | Christian Dior's Diffusion Line's Fear & Loathing Advertisement - 2012-01-16 02:44:35-05
    John Galliano exited Christian Dior in a booze-fueled haze of controversy, so it's interesting to see the its diffusion line's latest advertising taking inspiration from another drunk renegade. The spring 2012 campaign for Galliano pays tribute to acclaimed yet controversial gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. Benhamin Eidem is modeled after Raoul Duke, the autobiographical title character [...]
  36. Furla's New Travel Accessories Store | Handbag Label's Luggage Focus - 2012-01-16 04:42:34-05
    We'll see several new Furla travel accessories stores opening around the world this year. The first travel accessories outlets will open within Furla's existing stores in Beijing and Harbin this February. The Chinese boutiques will dedicate 15-meters square of space within their leather outlets to the label's new spring/summer collection. Also in China, Furla's store at [...]
  37. Lux de Ville Getaway Satchel | Metallic Green Sparkle Kiss Lock Handbag - 2012-01-16 05:40:31-05
    If it ain't broke, why fix it? That's the clearly the design ethos of Lux de Ville, who serves up another retro accessory with this Getaway Satchel. The Getaway takes us back to the 50s with its clean lines and structured shape. The sparkly sea foam green vinyl might not be authentically retro, but the playful [...]
