Hi mary,

Check out the latest handbag fashion news and review at BagBunch.com:
  1. Charlotte Casiraghi Models for Gucci | Monacan Royal Fronts Upcoming Forever New Advertising Campaign - 2012-03-05 22:48:09-05
    Gorgeous Monaco royal Charlotte Casiraghi is the new face of Gucci. After a long association with the brand, Grace Kelly's granddaughter and the fourth in line to Monaco's throne will front a four-part series for the Italian fashion house's Forever New campaign. As Casiraghi is an able horse rider and show-jumper, it makes sense that Vogue photographer [...]
  2. Brynn Capella Zee Satchel | Military Button Decorated White Leather Handbag - 2012-03-05 23:43:53-05
    The military look might have fallen out of favor in recent seasons, but Brynn Capella looks to bring the style back with the Zee satchel. While its aesthetic isn't on trend, the Zee doesn't really look dated, perhaps because Brynn Capella hasn't gone overboard. Its chevron etched buttons are really the only obvious marker of military [...]
  3. Cate Adair Designs Mariposa Bag for Handbag Tailor | "Desperate Housewives" Costume Designer Makes Limited Edition Purse - 2012-03-06 00:29:15-05
    Desperate Housewives costume designer Cate Adair has designed a limited edition Mariposa bag for online e-tailer Handbag Tailor. Canadian designer Miss MAK Designs created just 100 of these black pebbled leather satchels from Cate Adair's sketches. Their exteriors are decorated with a smattering of steel rivets around the straps and dressed up with black anaconda pockets. [...]
  4. Rebecca Minkoff Beau Clutch | Snake Embossed Plum Leather Purse - 2012-03-06 00:44:17-05
    Rebecca Minkoff gives us all the luxury of snake skin without the four-figure price tag with the Beau. I was shocked to find the Beau isn't made of python, but a very good embossed leather. Choosing a high quality skin is the easy part, but few designers use their materials as well as Rebecca Minkoff. The [...]
  5. Big Buddha Zeus Tote | Large Quilted Yellow Synthetic Handbag - 2012-03-06 02:02:10-05
    Its synthetic body might disappoint style snobs, but the Zeus' cheerful yellow color and low price make the Zeus pretty appealing for the rest of us. Perhaps Big Buddha shouldn't have given this tote such a grand name. It's hardly otherworldly after all. But there's a lot to like about this sweet bargain basement buy. I [...]
  6. Louis Vuitton's New Epi is Magic Advertisements | Claire Courtin-Clarins Stars in Colorful Ad Campaign - 2012-03-06 02:28:34-05
    French heiress Claire Courtin-Clarins shows off the streets of her Paris hometown and Louis Vuitton's latest Epi bags in the French fashion house's latest advertising campaign, dubbed Epi is Magic. The Epi has been one of Louis Vuitton's most enduring lines since its introduction in the 1980s. Personally I find its woodgrain inspired texture much more [...]
  7. Brynn Capella Sierra Bamboo Tote | Casual Fabric Chevron Print Handbag - 2012-03-06 03:00:51-05
    Brynn Capella gets us ready for summer days on the beach and picnics in the park with this Sierra Bamboo Tote. The Sierra is made from high quality fabrics including cotton and toile. These materials are paired with a small bamboo handle in the tradition of Gucci. No one would ever mistake it for a bag [...]
  8. World Record Largest Handbag | Indian Designer Makes Biggest Fabric Purse - 2012-03-06 04:18:45-05
    Indian fashion designer Mrugesh Parmar might not make the best handbags, but it seems he might make the biggest. The 27-year-old has been recognized by the Limca Book of World Records for creating the world's largest fabric handbag, and a Guinness World Record is all but a formality. While Guinness World Records has recognized his feat [...]
  9. Sherpani Solstice Wheeled Suitcase | Floral Print Travel Bag - 2012-03-06 05:08:40-05
    Sherpani delivers a fun alternative to boring black travel bags with its Solstice Wheeled Suitcase. Sherpani's given its travel bag a whimsical flair with a flourish of flowers and pretty ice blue panels. As with all Sherpani bags it's made from 67% recycled fabric and 30% recycled aluminum. That's still not ideal, but it's more responsible [...]
  10. Olivia Harris by Joy Gryson Emeraude Plage Satchel | Yellow Italian Leather Handbag - 2012-03-07 01:31:55-05
    With its unusually textured yellow leather, there's no ignoring the Emeraude Plage Satchel from Joy Gryson's Olivia Harris line. The leather has a bubbly finish which is fresh and youthful. It seems inspired by the pebbled leather we're all familiar with, but the treatment is much more exaggerated and playful. And nothing says fun quite like [...]
  11. Baggallini Promotes Fashionable New Image | Practical American Handbag Label Gets Stylish Makeover - 2012-03-07 02:24:53-05
    Baggallini bags, or baggs as the Portland label likes to call them, pride themselves on practicality. However their styling has always left a bit to be desired. However the accessories company is looking to change its image, and its enlisted American Rebel Public Relations to help with the revamp. Baggallini's new motto is "Order is Beautiful," [...]
  12. Jeffrey Campbell Balagia Bag | Leather Fringed Burlap Purse - 2012-03-07 03:04:55-05
    Once I found Jeffrey Campbell's brightly colored fringe covered purses quirky and creative. However I'm starting to feel like I've seen it all before. I wasn't impressed by the combination of burlap and leather on the Hoffman, and I'm similarly unmoved this time around. Yes it's unusual, but so what? Sticking some leather on a potato [...]
  13. Briggs & Riley Revamps Baseline Bag | New Expandable Travel Suitcases - 2012-03-07 04:34:45-05
    Briggs & Riley has given its popular Baseline range a makeover to help travelers beat excess baggage fees. The New Baseline bags are large enough to hold everything you need for a week long getaway, but can shrink to fit inside a jam-packed overhead locker. The New Baseline rejects the zippered expansion methods of old. It [...]
  14. House of Harlow 1960 Jolie Messenger | Western Ponyhair Messenger Handbag - 2012-03-07 05:30:37-05
    We all know Nicole Richie knows a thing or two about red carpets, so it's no surprise that the clutch purses from her House of Harlow 1960 always shine. We get the chance to see her working with a larger canvas on this Jolie Messenger. While its name might be inspired by a Hollywood screen starlet, [...]
  15. Alexander Wang Prisma Wallet | Animal Print Calf Hair Purse - 2012-03-08 01:41:34-05
    Alexander Wang brings a bit of luxury to our everyday with this Prisma Wallet. Furry calf hair might be fashionable, but I'm not sure it really adds much to this design, except some serious dollars. With its black spots it looks like Alexander Wang's slaughtered the nearest cow or some other barnyard friend in the name [...]
  16. Alexander Wang Sued for Sweatshop Conditions | Handbag Designer Accused of Violating Labor Laws - 2012-03-08 02:21:39-05
    The term sweat shop conjures images of children slaving away under poor conditions in third-world countries. But if 30 Alexander Wang employees are to be believed, sweat shops are operating right here in New York City. The workers are suing Alexander Wang for violating New York State labor laws with his Chinatown production premises. The $450 [...]
  17. Herschel Supply Settlement Backpack | Basic Khaki & Navy Knapsack - 2012-03-08 03:41:24-05
    Herschel Supply goes back to basics with this Settlement Backpack. Backpacks really don't get much simpler than this. Its domed top and clean, minimalist design are hallmarks of the style. Herschel Supply hasn't worried about fashion forward features, but that should see this design endure. The range of colors brings a bit of individuality to the design. [...]
  18. Yves Saint Laurent Names New Creative Director | Hedi Slimane Succeeds Stefano Pilati - 2012-03-08 04:10:34-05
    Yves Saint Laurent has officially named Hedi Slimane as its new creative director following Stefano Pilati's last stand at Paris Fashion Week. When news of Pilati's departure hit the media Slimane was tipped to take on the role, but an official statement has confirmed the news. His appointment makes a lot of sense for the leading [...]
  19. Antik Batik Hida Baguette | Unusual Tribal Fringed Purse - 2012-03-08 05:50:43-05
    Wild colors and a flurry of fringe ensures this Hida Baguette from Antik Batik is anything but boring! There are an awful lot of elements here fighting for our attention. The pretty patterned panels have a folky charm, the beading has a tribal feel, while the pale suede fringe takes us to the Wild West. I'm [...]
  20. Hype Harrison Barrel Bag | Brown Leather Carryall with Leopard Panels - 2012-03-09 01:24:39-05
    Hype's created a conservative barrel bag with just a hint of sass with the Harrison. From the front it seems like so many conformist carryalls. Its smooth brown leather is a safe choice, and the nude leather accents aren't much wilder. The barrel shape is also a classic style decision, one that's meant to maximize storage [...]
  21. Models Dance for Longchamp | Coca Rocha Stars in Oh! My Bag! Advertising Video - 2012-03-09 02:15:00-05
    Longchamp has taken a leaf out of Lanvin's playbook for its latest video advertising campaign. This video, entitled Oh! My Bag! has the same kind of playful charm we saw in Lanvin's Pittbull soundtracked commercial. It seems Longchamp took note when Alber Elbaz showed us few things are as funny as dancing models. Canadian beauty Coca [...]
  22. Diane von Furstenberg Elaine New Belt Bag | Casual Convertible Brown Leather Tassel Purse - 2012-03-09 03:10:03-05
    Diane von Furstenberg offers a modern take on the fanny pack with this Elaine New Belt Bag. Rather than providing a shoulder strap, Diane von Furstenberg's given us a belt. This allows us to strap the Elaine on for a busy day of running errands or dancing up a storm at a summer music festival. Of course [...]
  23. Coach Sues Swap Shop | American Handbag Label Launches Lawsuit Against Counterfeiters - 2012-03-09 04:43:30-05
    Following last week's lawsuit against Tennessee salon Hair in XS, Coach is taking on another American store selling counterfeit versions of its bags. The all-American brand is suing Fort Lauderdale's popular Swap Shop, and its founder Preston Henn, following a year of unacknowledged cease and desist letters. When the retailer paid no heed to its warnings, [...]
  24. Veda Bitsy Bag | Small Black Lambskin Leather Purse - 2012-03-09 05:43:04-05
    It might be petite, but this Bitsy Bag from Veda packs quite a punch. Its small stature might see some girls overlook it, but they'd miss its gorgeous details. Its lambskin body is sumptuously soft, yet its design gives it a sophisticated structure. Often metal hardware pops against black leather, but Veda's opted to give it's [...]
  25. Katherine Kwei Kate Boston Bag | Casual Knot Decorated Carry-all - 2012-03-10 01:09:52-05
    Katherine Kwei offers a casual take on the classic Boston bag with the Kate. While classic Bostons have a recognizable structured design the Kate has a much slouchier silhouette. Its basic shape takes its cues from the Bostons which came before, but the buttery burnt orange lambskin softens the Kate. The slouchy finish creates a look [...]
  26. Jill Milan Adds New Bags for Spring | Vegan Leather Travel & Office Accessories - 2012-03-10 02:49:34-05
    Jill Milan is expanding its offerings for spring/summer 2012. The new season sees the fashion house adding office and travel bags to its range, and several warm weather hues. The company's namesake, co-founder, and chief executive officer, says the latest additions bring broader appeal to her company. They're the work of the company's lead designer Maya [...]
  27. Vans Triple Threat Cross-Body Bag | Black Polyurethane Casual Handbag - 2012-03-10 03:43:23-05
    Vans serves up a cheap and cheerful cross-body with some retro flair with this Triple Threat. The words triple threat reminds us of those rare talents that can do it all. Those shining stars act so convincingly, sing like a bird, and dance like a dream. Vans' Triple Threat isn't anywhere near as exciting as those [...]
  28. Louis Vuitton Versus University of Pennsylvania Law School | Fashion House Takes on Lecture Parody Posters - 2012-03-10 04:02:08-05
    Famously litigious fashion house Louis Vuitton has a new target in its sights. The French designer label sent a cease and desist letter to the University of Pennsylvania Law School after the college created satirical posters for upcoming seminars. The law school created posters, which feature a Louis Vuitton style signature print with trademark and copyright [...]
  29. Tommy Hilfiger Pebble Leather Bowler | Sophisticated Classic White Handbag - 2012-03-11 20:54:34-04
    Tommy Hilfiger gives the classic bowler a chic makeover with this Pebble Leather style. Its domed shape and structured design are classic bowler elements, but I can't imagine putting a heavy ball or pair of shoes inside this beauty. Such a refined creature doesn't deserve that kind of punishment. I also can't imagine taking a bag [...]
  30. Anna Sui Designs Tumi Travel Bags | Feminine New Capsule Collection - 2012-03-11 23:21:21-04
    Anna Sui looks to inject some of her distinctive fashion forward flair into Tumi's travel cases with her new capsule collection for the luggage brand. The travel bags feature Anna Sui's favourite purple and black color scheme in a feminine butterfly-style print. One thing's for certain; these suitcases will be easy to spot on baggage carousels! It's [...]
  31. Loewe Embajad Briefcase | Chic Black Leather Designer Office Bag - 2012-03-12 00:23:10-04
    Add some luxury to your work day with this elegant Embajad Briefcase from Loewe. Black briefcases are a dime a dozen, but few have the refinement of the Embajad. Its black calf leather is of superior quality, and a gorgeous complement to the engraved silver fastening. Its structured shape gives the Embajad a femininity that's often [...]
  32. Bloggers Design Mango Touch Accessories | Online Writers Collaborate with Spanish Fashion House - 2012-03-12 01:45:06-04
    As the media landscape changes, bloggers are becoming authorities on all kinds of issues, including fashion. So it makes sense that Mango would look to these online commentators when designing its latest accessories range for Mango Touch. Three bloggers from the Werelse blogger brand were recruited to help the Spanish label design handbags, shoes, jewelry, and [...]
  33. Linea Pelle Maya Speedy Handbag | Large Black Leather Carryall Bag - 2012-03-12 02:28:35-04
    Life never seems to slow down, so your handbag needs to keep pace. With the Maya, Linea Pelle's created a handbag that knows how to keep up with life in the fast lane. The Maya doesn't make a strong style statement, but its high quality leather ensure it's still a good looking bag. Classic black is [...]

  35. MICHAEL by Michael Kors Gladstone Bucket | Large Handbag with Woven Detail - 2012-03-12 04:13:46-04
    Michael Kors pares back his usual design aesthetic for this minimalist Gladstone Bucket bag from his MICHAEL line. The Gladstone's classic bucket shape is accented by a band of woven leather around the base. This accent works with the earthy burnt orange to create a bag that's a little bit country, but not kitsch. While it [...]
  36. Kipling Marks 25 Years | Travel Shows, Art Exhibitions, & More! - 2012-03-12 05:11:54-04
    Kipling will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a showing at this year's IAADFS Duty Free Show of the Americas. The Belgian accessories brand will showcase its core collection of crinkly nylon bags. This casual range is so significant that Kipling's area sales manager for The Americas Fadi Hatem calls "the main feature of Kipling's fashion business." The [...]
  37. Burberry Prorsum Leather & Raffia Clutch | Exotic Buckled Evening Purse - 2012-03-12 06:03:10-04
    Burberry's Nova Check might be iconic, but bags featuring this plaid print are starting to look a bit tired to me. So I'm thrilled to see the British designer trying something new with this Leather and Raffia Clutch. If this is a sign of what Burberry can do when it thinks outside the square, it's a [...]
