- Stuart Weitzman Readies SW1 | Designer's New High-End Footwear & Handbags - 2012-02-06 18:45:17-05
While many designers are creating affordable diffusion collections for major department stores, Stuart Weitzman is bucking the trend. He's preparing to launch a high-class accessories line called SW1. The collection's footwear will range from $595 for a pair of satin or suede pumps to $995 for some luxurious boots. That's a real mark-up on the $300 [...]
- Sondra Roberts Pearl Box Clutch | Pretty Bead & Crystal Covered Evening Purse - 2012-02-06 21:37:04-05
Turn heads as you step out with this Pearl clutch from Sondra Roberts. While once we admired Sondra Roberts for her day bags, lately she's impressed us with her after five accessories. The Pearl is a gorgeous example of what she can do with a classic egg-shaped base. The cacophony of pearl-like beads and dainty crystals [...]
- LVMH Posts 2011 Profits | Fashion Giant Exceeds Forecasts - 2012-02-06 23:08:08-05
Strong sales in Asia have helped LVMH and its fashionable companies exceed full-year profit forecast for 2011. The luxury conglomerate's net income rose a modest 1% last year to 3.07 billion euros, exceeding estimates of 3.06 billion euros. It's a small win, but a significant one in the light of Europe's uncertain economy. It's also important [...]
- Soapbox Vineyard Tote Bag | Classic Purple Crocodile Handbag - 2012-02-07 00:31:33-05
Whether you're planning a picnic or pounding the pavement, Soapbox has you covered with this Vineyard tote. On the surface it seems like so many other tote bags. We've seen its clean lines and classic shape so many times before that even the purple croc finish can't pique my interest. I was looking for a little [...]
- Sonia Rykiel Domino Satchel | Brass Studded Lambskin Bag - 2012-02-07 01:38:23-05
Sonia Rykiel keeps the studded trend alive with this Domino satchel. She doesn't do things by halves here. This simply shaped satchel is covered in hundreds of large and small brass studs. I really like the way the accents pop against the tan lambskin, but I'm still feeling a bit underwhelmed. The various sizes of studs [...]
- Hare+Hart Ethical Leather Handbags | Argentinian Label Sources Free Range Animal Skins - 2012-02-07 02:09:13-05
Emily Harrison and Jennie Engelhardt have created an ethical alternative for leather lovers with their fashion house Hare+Hart. While their products use genuine leather, it's sourced from free range, cage free animals. The designers became friends while studying at Minnesota's Carlton College, but their wanderlust led them to Argentina where Hare+Hart is now based. It seemed [...]
- Spiegel Patent Clutch Bag | Polished Purple Synthetic Purse - 2012-02-07 03:11:59-05
Spiegel celebrates timeless good looks rather than trends with this Patent Clutch Bag. This clutch makes a strong style statement with its clean lines and polished finish. The glossy treatment is a smart choice here. We've often complained that matte synthetics appear too glossy to ever pass as leather. Here though the shiny finish helps Spiegel [...]
- Christian Louboutin Readies Capsule Collection | 20th Anniversary Footwear & Handbag Line - 2012-02-07 18:54:19-05
Christian Louboutin is commemorating 20 years in the accessories business with a special capsule collection. The capsule collection reinterprets Christian Louboutin's most iconic shoes and handbags, so ideally it should be everything we love about the label, but better. It draws inspiration from Louboutin's favorite muses, including the world of cabaret, architecture, world travel, and the [...]
- Stella McCartney Structured Shoulder Bag | Black Vegan Leather handbag - 2012-02-08 00:42:30-05
While I admire Stella McCartney's commitment to ethical design, I haven't always appreciated her accessories. Her vegan leather often appears cheap, and her designs uninspired. However she's ironed out the kinks with this Structured Shoulder Bag. The blend of polyester and polyurethane is a better leather mimic than most of the materials Stella McCartney utilizes. She's [...]
- Steve Madden Maya Tote | Leopard Print Faux Suede Handbag - 2012-02-08 01:16:54-05
Steve Madden reminds us what can happen when a cheap handbag goes bad with this Maya tote. The Maya tries very hard to appeal to bagistas. Its design takes its cues from Hermes, although it's a far cry from any Birkin bag. Its quilted leopard print panel sounded good in theory, but the execution is off. [...]
- Halston's Second Chance | Ben Malka Revives Heritage Fashion Label - 2012-02-08 02:22:37-05
It seems there may be life in Halston yet. The company's latest chairman and chief executive officer Ben Malka says he's committed to relaunching the Halston runway line next year. In the interim he plans to focus on the Heritage line abandoned by Sarah Jessica Parker. Malka seems a better choice on paper than Halston's previous [...]
- Stone Mountain Isabella Hobo | Large Retro Colorblocked Handbag - 2012-02-08 03:51:33-05
Colorblocked panels help this Isabella hobo from Stone Mountain turn heads. We know the label for its conservative casual leather goods, so it's surprising to see it using its favorite material more sparingly here. Instead it opts for soft suede, and uses only a touch of black patent leather to enhance the bag's lines. I really [...]
- Brahmin Designs Handbags with Bloggers | New Dream Bag Capsule Collection - 2012-02-08 04:47:39-05
Brahmin has collaborated with leading fashion bloggers to create their Dream Bag collection. The small capsule collection features three bags designed by New York bloggers who workshopped ideas with Brahmin's design team. Fashionistas can choose from the over-sized Jolie clutch, the convertible Nico satchel clutch, and the larger top-handled Nicolette satchel pictured. The Nico and Nicolette bags [...]
- Straw Studios Alexandria Bucket Bag | Woven White Drawstring Handbag - 2012-02-08 05:19:07-05
Straw Studios helps us embrace the warmer weather ahead with this Alexandria bucket bag. Straw Studios tends to created structured handbags, so I was surprised to see it delivering something much softer and slouchier. Personally I think this profile makes the Alexandria seem more modern than most of its woven paper straw bags. Those other ones [...]
- Stuart Weitzman Soho Bond Cross-Body Bag | Sophisticated Buffalo Leather Purse - 2012-02-09 01:10:50-05
Stuart Weitzman channels New York City cool with this Soho Bond bag. This cross-body isn't quite as dramatic as the purses from his forthcoming anniversary collection, but there's an understated charm about it. It really captures the essence of the borough that inspired it, appearing cool seemingly without effort. Part of the secret is the buttery [...]
- Alexander Wang Expands in Asia | Beijing Flagship First of 14 New Stores - 2012-02-09 02:54:12-05
While most designers conquer the Western world before heading East, Alexander Wang is happy to break the mold. He's planning to open 14 new Asian outlets over the next 12 months. It's great news for Alexander Wang fans abroad, especially those in Beijing who'll enjoy a new flagship store in their city next month. The boutique [...]
- Sun N' Sand Coastal Flip Flops Tote | Blue Cotton Canvas Beach Bag - 2012-02-09 22:45:48-05
Sun N' Sand is helping us get ready for summer with this Coastal Flip Flops Tote. I haven't always warmed to Sun N' Sand's cheap and cheerful accessories, but this is one of its better designs. While it would look out of place on the High Street, its playful vibe is perfect for hitting the beach. [...]
- Miu Miu's New Fashion Week Bags | Exotic Limited Edition Satchel Collection - 2012-02-09 23:42:24-05
Miu Miu is celebrating the world's Fashion Weeks with a playful limited edition handbag collection. The range features 46 bags in all, with a selected number to be unveiled in the world's major style capitals during their Fashion Week celebrations. Each bag features the same structured ladylike shape, but the unique accents and fabrics give each [...]
- Susan Farber Tahoe Messenger Bag | Fringed Emerald Green Leather Handbag - 2012-02-10 00:11:29-05
Susan Farber has fun with fringe with this Tahoe Messenger Bag. You'll need to be a real fringe fan to embrace this design. It covers the messenger's body, falling softly in layers to create a real boho look. That's dressed up somewhat by the striking emerald green color. I typically expect bohemian bags to be in [...]
- Swoop Foldover Travel Kit | Leopard Print PVC Cosmetics Purse - 2012-02-10 01:21:19-05
Carry your cosmetics in style with this cute Travel Kit from Swoop. Its name is a bit of a misnomer, because it's really more of a small make-up purse rather than a travel kit. There's no space for passports, travel documents, or any of the other items we associate with jetsetting. However it will hold everything [...]
- Tumi's New Tega-Lite Travel Bags | Tough Woven Tegris Suitcases - 2012-02-10 02:27:01-05
Travel specialists Tumi is preparing to unleash its latest suitcase collection this month. The Tega-Lite line offers the lightweight designs we need to beat those excess baggage charges without compromising on durability. The range should offer something for frequent fliers and occasional holiday makers alike. It features two and four-wheeled carry-on bags alongside four-wheeled packing cases. The [...]
- Tano Mini Me Cross-Body Bag | Convertible Metallic Leather Purse - 2012-02-10 03:37:32-05
Tano abandons its usual colorful crunch leather for a modern metallic with this Mini Me Cross-Body Bag. I'm not usually a fan of metallic leathers, but this one is much mellower than most. The silver hue is quite subtle with just a hint of sparkle. I'm not sure the tan leather accents are the best pairing [...]
- Camila Alves' New Muxo Bags | American Inspired Handbags for QVC - 2012-02-10 04:07:15-05
Exotic beauty Camila Alves looked to her adopted home of America for inspiration to create the latest handbag line for her Muxo label. As the fiancé of Hollywood heartthrob Matthew McConaghey, Alves always seems to be on the go. The landscapes of her recent travel destinations, including Texas, New Orleans, Arkansas, New York, and California, have [...]
- Tepper Jackson Boheme Flight Bag | Colorful Patterned Travel Handbag - 2012-02-10 05:47:51-05
Tepper Jackson meets our carry-on needs with this fun Boheme Flight Bag. The rainbow print is classic Tepper Jackson. It won't be to everyone's tastes, but I love the psychedelic charms of the flowers, paisley teardrops, and pretty leaves. The vibrant purples, pinks, greens, and whites really pop against the Boheme's neutral beige background. Some may [...]
- The Jesse B. Collection Plume Clutch | Peacock Feather Velvet Purse - 2012-02-11 01:30:37-05
A pretty peacock feather helps this Plume Clutch from The Jesse B. Collection stand out from the crowd. I really love that peacock plume, but I have my reservations about this purse. It feels like The Jesse B. Collection is relying too much on that accent to win us over. If you stripped it away this [...]
- Avril Lavigne Launches New Abby Dawn Bags on JustFabulous | Pop Star's Handbags & Shoes Debut Online - 2012-02-11 02:12:43-05
Avril Lavigne will offer JustFabulous members early access to her new Abby Dawn collection through a brand new deal. Members of the VIP program can buy Lavigne's new handbags and shoes before anyone else, and at special discounted prices. It sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me! The pre-sale will feature 12 pairs of shoes and [...]
- The SAK Olema Hobo | Classic Bohemian Brown Leather Handbag - 2012-02-11 20:06:53-05
Clean lines and a bohemian spirit make this Olema hobo from The SAK something special. I love the way The SAK strikes the right balance between boho-chic and true sophistication. Its silhouette isn't as slouchy as many hobos, which makes it more dressed up than the average. However its buttery leather gives it just the right [...]
- Chanel's Valentine's Day Collection | Pink Purses for February 14 - 2012-02-12 00:50:07-05
Any man who hasn't already snagged a Valentine's Day gift for his lady love is cutting it fine. However his disorganization may be forgiven if he indulges in one of the romantic purses from the Chanel Valentine's Day 2012 collection. The French fashion house resisted the temptation to make its bags in blood red or hot [...]
- Tianni Rose Tattoo Cross-Body Bag | Pink Canvas Graphic Purse - 2012-02-12 01:16:15-05
Tianni follows Ed Hardy's lead with this Rose Tattoo Cross-Body Bag. Sadly this bag comes off as a poor imitation of those gaudy graphic bags. I've never really warmed to Ed Hardy's bold prints, but at least they were part of the label's original creative vision. Here the roses and regal crown seem imitative and uninspired. [...]
- Brynn Capella Donates Profits to Cat Shelter | Chicago Designer's Online Charity Drive for Tree House Humane Society - 2012-02-12 02:26:40-05
While most fashion designers are celebrating Valentine's Day, Brynn Capella has turned her attention to a more serious cause. Until the end of the month the Chicago native will donate 50% of the profits from online sales to the Tree House Humane Society. The Tree House Humane Society is a Chicago-based charity which cares for the [...]
- Tignanello Color Me Classy Satchel | Retro Brown Leather Satchel - 2012-02-12 03:30:58-05
Tignanello takes us back to the 70s with this Color Me Classy satchel. I'm not sure it's quite as classy as its name suggests, but the combination of tan and chocolate brown has a charming sense of nostalgia. It's very 70s, but with that decade enjoying a fashion renaissance it's also surprisingly on trend. The white [...]
- Snakes Star in Lanvin Commercial | Fashion House's Quirky Spring/Summer 2012 Advertisement - 2012-02-12 20:02:14-05
Lanvin's found a use for snakes beyond their precious skins. The slithery serpents are draped over the models in the label's new spring/summer 2012 advertising campaign! After snapping several successful campaigns in the past, it's little surprise that Lanvin has rerecruited famed photographer Stephen Meisel to shoot Aymeline Valade, Othilia Simon, and Marte van Haaster. I'm [...]
- Timmy Woods Butterfly Cross-Body Bag | White Wooden Novelty Purse - 2012-02-13 01:29:15-05
Not content with just one butterfly themed purse in its arsenal, Timmy Woods has released through Butterfly Bag. While the Mariposa had bold wood-toned and black colorings, this Butterfly Bag is much more subdued. The white wood body is speckled with gold, giving it an almost antique feel. Can't you just imagine a historian unearthing this [...]
- Victoria Beckham Debuts Harper Bags | Baby Inspired Totes Part of Fall/Winter 2012 Collection - 2012-02-13 02:27:15-05
Being a new mom has clearly influenced Victoria Beckham. At her New York Fashion Week show the former Spice Girl unveiled a new handbag named Harper, after her baby daughter. The Harper is a practical suede tote, with two external pockets, a flap closure, and a neat top handle. It's available in a range of neutral [...]
- Tod's Fleur Pochette | Colorblocked Nude Mini Convertible Purse - 2012-02-13 03:50:16-05
Tod's seems determined to prove the old adage that good things come in small packages with this Fleur Pochette. It's been a long time since I've seen Tod's creating a small purse, and now that I'm swooning over this one I wonder why it took so long. It's delicate without being overly feminine. Its nude panels [...]
- Wendy Williams Designs Adorn Accessories | Talk Show Host's New QVC Handbags & Jewelry - 2012-02-13 04:26:43-05
Wendy Williams is the latest celebrity to design an accessories line. The talk show host is preparing to release her Adorn range of handbags, watches, and jewelry through television shopping giant QVC. Williams assures us she's not just another celebrity cashing in on her name. She's been hard at work on the accessories line for the [...]
- Tommy Hilfiger Novelty Nylon Tote | Playful Pink Bow Carry-All Bag - 2012-02-13 05:25:26-05
If you don't take this tote bag too seriously, I wouldn't worry. I don't think Tommy Hilfiger does either. Ordinarily critics are the ones to saddle a handbag with the novelty tag. Here Tommy Hilfiger's done it for us! And who can blame it? The primary colors Tommy Hilfiger ordinarily chooses have been passed over for [...]
