- Lola Bernard Modena Hobo | Croc Embossed Coffee Leather Handbag - 2012-02-27 22:36:16-05
The Modena sounds good on paper, but sadly this is just another lacklustre hobo from Lola Bernard. I'm not entirely sure where Lola Bernard went wrong here. She's used real leather rather than that cheap synthetic stuff. She's also added some crocodile-esque embossing to make the skin feel even more luxurious. But it still doesn't manage [...]
- Stefano Pilati Leaves Yves Saint Laurent | YSL Creative Director Steps Down - 2012-02-27 23:43:02-05
Stefano Pilati's fall/winter 2012-2013 collection will be his last for Yves Saint Laurent. The creative director is stepping down from his post after eight years with the company. Pilati has been integral in rebuilding and repositioning the fashion house as a luxury force to be reckoned with. Under his guidance the firm has become a leading [...]
- Diane von Furstenberg Tonda Clutch | Gold Laser-Cut Evening Purse - 2012-02-28 00:18:29-05
Any girl who loves jewelry can tell you the impact that well crafted gold makes. Diane von Furstenberg uses the gleaming metal to brilliant effect with this Tonda clutch. Small holes are laser-cut into the Tonda's etched golden shell. These perforations allow the pale cowhide underneath to peek through. The layered effect is dramatic and daring, [...]
- Danielle Nicole Mia Shoulder Bag | Affordable Structured Gray Polyurethane Handbag - 2012-02-28 01:27:13-05
Get high class looks for less with this Mia Shoulder Bag from Danielle Nicole. The Mia seems to be inspired by a classic envelope purse, but it's much more modern than this traditional style tends to be. Its soft gray body is offset beautifully by bold navy piping and trim. That material is polyurethane rather than [...]
- Kenneth Cole Sells Brian Burkhardt's Unicorn Accessories | Project Accessory Winner's Horn Clutch for AIDS Charity - 2012-02-28 02:34:23-05
Brian Burkhardt didn't just win the Lifetime TV reality series Project Accessory; he also took out the all important Kenneth Cole challenge in episode six. As a result Burkhardt's capsule collection is currently available in selected Kenneth Cole stores. Burkhardt, a jewelry designer by trade, was inspired by the mythical unicorn. He crafted the creature's twisted [...]
- Guess Confession Envelope Clutch | Green Python Print Vinyl Purse - 2012-02-28 03:49:34-05
I've got a confession to make. I've finally found a Guess purse I really like. Meet the label's Confession Envelope Clutch. The Confession works because Guess hasn't tried to reinvent the wheel. At its heart this is a very traditional envelope purse, with a large angled flap and rectangular shape. But Guess has shaken things up [...]
- Ecogear's New Kids Dually Backpacks | Eco-Friendly Cotton Children's Knapsacks - 2012-02-28 04:39:39-05
Ecogear have added new Dually backpacks, especially created for kids, to its sustainable accessories line. All Dually backpacks are crafted entirely from natural, water-resistant cotton. The fabric is then colored with non-toxic dyes. The material is complemented by recycled plastic components. Its straps are padded to protect young shoulders, and they're perfectly proportioned for tiny bodies. [...]
- Jessica Simpson Fonatana Satchel | Quirky Wood Handled Purse - 2012-02-28 21:43:38-05
I've always considered Jessica Simpson a fashion follower rather than a design innovator. Her handbags are nice enough, but they generally seem like affordable alternatives for recessionistas rather than serious fashion contenders. However the pop star's Fontana Satchel has forced me to change my tune. It's not the prettiest satchel on the block, but its unique [...]
- Loungefly Hello Kitty City Bag | Embossed Black PVC Satchel - 2012-02-29 01:45:14-05
I generally believe grown women should steer clear of handbags that pay homage to cartoon characters. However this Hello Kitty satchel from Loungefly has encouraged me to change my tune. I still believe my rule holds true the majority of the time, but this satchel is much subtler than most featuring animated heroes. The Sanrio cat's [...]
- MCM Expands Bag Collections for Fall/Winter | New Season Everyday & Travel Accessories - 2012-02-29 02:32:58-05
MCM is shunning the cold weather trend for dark colors and conservative styles in favor of wilder designs this fall/winter. Many of the new bags feature leopard printed panels, which pop against MCM's orange, red, green, chocolate, and blue leathers. The spotted details are threaded through several MCM lines including the trendy Funk Rock Luxury range, [...]
- Jessica Simpson Contempo Tote | Modern Ivory Synthetic Handbag - 2012-02-29 03:08:06-05
I haven't always embraced Jessica Simpson's handbags, but lately the pop star turned designer has surprised me. The Contempo tote is another great accessory which proves this celebrity is really finding her designer feet. The Contempo's appeal is all about its clean modern lines. From the unique tab flap to the curved piping decorating the front [...]
- Hermes Fails to Register Chinese Name | Fashion House Loses Trademark Appeal - 2012-02-29 04:44:34-05
Hermes is in a spot of bother after it failed to register the name it's known by in China. Apparently the Hermes name is difficult for the Chinese to pronounce, and so the company is known as Ai Ma Shi there. It's a common practice for a company to go by a different name abroad, but [...]
- Echo Design Elephant Tote | African Animal Drawing Cotton Canvas Handbag - 2012-02-29 05:20:56-05
I'm a bit of a fashion snob. The feel of high quality leather underneath my fingertips makes me weak, and I swoon over a well-placed sprinkling of Austrian crystals. However even I can't resist the charms of a well-designed cotton canvas bag. This fun Elephant Tote from Echo Design definitely fits the bill. That elephant print [...]
- House of Harlow 1960 Marley Box Clutch | Mustard Crocodile Embossed Leather Evening Purse - 2012-03-01 01:47:31-05
Nicole Richie proves she's a designer of some mettle with this Marley Clutch from her House of Harlow 1960 line. At its heart the Marley's a very simple box clutch. We've seen its structured shape and rounded corners many times before. But it's what Richie does with that base that's really exciting. She's chosen a soft [...]
- Coach Sues Hair Salon | Tennessee Beauty Boutique Sells Counterfeit Handbags - 2012-03-01 02:48:10-05
A Tennessee hair salon selling imitation Coach handbags is being taken to task by the fashion giant. The New York company has served Hair in XS, and its proprietor Kitsana Insyxiengmay Thephavong, with lawsuits for a series of offences related to copyright infringement. It seems strange that a small salong in Murfreesboro would even be on [...]
- Dooney & Bourke Smith Bag | Nautical Nylon & Leather Tote - 2012-03-01 03:07:03-05
Dooney & Bourke shows rare maturity with this Smith Bag. Its name is very unassuming and ordinary, but the Smith is one of the best Dooney & Bourke bags I've seen. Dooney & Bourke's crafted its Smith from lightweight nylon material. This easy care material is smartened up with red leather accents and trim. I'm not a [...]
- Christian Dior Releases Online DiorMag | Website Magazine Goes Inside Fashion House - 2012-03-01 04:02:21-05
Christian Dior is increasing its online presence with the launch of its new internet-based magazine, appropriately titled DiorMag. Each issue will feature eight articles, a number which coincides with the original designer's luckiest digit. These pieces will detail Christian Dior's history and look forward to the future and its latest products. The full capabilities of the [...]
- Baggallini Berlin Doctor Bag | Practical Olive Green Fabric Handbag - 2012-03-01 05:03:49-05
Baggallini puts its stamp on the classic doctor bag style with the Berlin. Frankly this is the kind of purse that's easy to overlook. Its design is neat enough, but it doesn't really do anything to command attention. It's available in 12 different colors, but these tame hues do little to add personality. Its lack of flair [...]
- Juicy Couture North Shore Lynn Tote | Orange Raffia Pom-Pom Handbag - 2012-03-02 01:40:57-05
Summer must be looming, because designers are embracing their silly side. And they don't get much sillier than the North Shore Lynn Tote. Carry a cutesy tote like this in the thick of winter and you'll be laughed out of town. But once the weather warms its brightly colored raffia body and matching raffia pom-poms become [...]
- Hermes & Pierre Hardy Make Luxurious Mini Bags | Million Dollar Extravagant Purses - 2012-03-02 02:33:08-05
Hermes has created four mini bags for fashionistas with more money than sense. At more than a million dollars a piece, these small purses take luxury to the next level. The ultra elite purses are the result of Hermes' recent collaboration with jewelry and shoe king Pierre Hardy. So exactly why do such small purses cost [...]
- Franchi Valerie Box Clutch | Leather & Metal Mesh Evening Purse - 2012-03-02 03:17:11-05
The combination of matte leather and gleaming metal mesh helps this Valerie box clutch from Franchi shine. I've often admired the subtle contrast of black on black. It works so well on the Valerie, with the metal mesh adding a little glitz and the matte leather grounding the design. The clever use of materials means the [...]
- Lowell Harder Back to Radley | Founder Returns to British Accessories Brand - 2012-03-02 04:18:58-05
Lowell Harder is returning to Radley, the brand she created in 1998. Harder's been appointed Radley's non-executive director and consultant. These are vital roles as the British fashion house looks to reposition itself as a more upmarket brand. Harder's reappointment follows the return of the British label's former chief executive Roger Best last month. He emerged [...]
- Franco Sarto Dandy Cross-Body Bag | Messenger Style Pewter PVC Bag - 2012-03-02 05:22:39-05
Franco Sarto delivers a cute cross-body bag for less with the Dandy. A real life dandy puts on airs and graces and is overly concerned by his appearance, and this cross-body bag shares these traits. Its PVC body does its best leather impersonation, and it almost pulls it off in this pewter hue. I rarely favor [...]
- Alexander McQueen McQ Clerkenwell Shoulder Bag | Bold Neon Pink Leather Purse - 2012-03-03 01:02:30-05
Reach for the shades and celebrate your girly side with this shocking Clerkenwell Shoulder Bag from Alexander McQueen's McQ line. There's certainly no ignoring this purse. Its saturated pink hue doesn't just make a statement; it screams one! That color is bound to divide opinion, but personally I think it's needed to liven up this simply [...]
- Firefly Accessories Adds Fair Trade Line | New Silk Bags & Scarves from Cambodia - 2012-03-03 02:43:16-05
Scottish e-tailer Firefly Accessories is showing its social conscience with the addition of new fair trade accessories.

- Radley Whitmore Punch Hobo Bag | Medium Perforated Public Leather Handbag - 2012-03-03 03:01:57-05
Ever since I was small, I've loved purple. My mother insisted I'd tire of the color, yet even as a thirtysomething the sight of this rich regal hue makes me weak at the knees. Radley's used the color to great effect in its Whitmore Punch hobo. It has a little slouch around the top, but the [...]
- Detroit High School Student Designs Charity Pouch | TLC Purse for Michigan Donor Program - 2012-03-03 04:43:55-05
A high school class assignment has grown into a labor of love for Detroit student Taylor Clark and her cousin, handbag designer Jenna Kator. Taylor and her classmates at Utica Academy for International Studies are encouraged to complete 150 hours of extracurricular "action, creativity, and service" to the community, including an extended project. As part of [...]
- Fendi Silvana Shoulder Bag | Colorblocked Red & Brown Handbag - 2012-03-04 21:06:52-05
Fendi takes an uncharacteristically subtle approach to design with this Silvana shoulder bag. I'm used to Fendi covering its handbags with logos and signature prints, a technique which is starting to feel a bit dated. This more minimalist approach is much more in vogue. The logos are still there but they're subtle. A logo forms the [...]
- Mike Forbes' Ulterior Survival Bags for the Homeless | Convertible Eco-Friendly Carry-All & Protective Boots - 2012-03-04 22:16:16-05
Detroit's Mike Forbes is looking to make life a little easier for America's homeless population with his new Ulterior Survival Bag. The College for Creative Studies graduate developed the unusual bag, which serves as both a carryall and a pair of boots! As a carryall it provides a more durable alternative to the garbage bags homeless [...]
- Jessica Simpson Roxy Bucket Bag | Boho Woven Silver Synthetic Handbag - 2012-03-05 00:37:12-05
Jessica Simpson injects a bit of glitz into bohemian fashion with this Roxy bucket bag. The Roxy's open weave gives it a casual air, while allowing the complementary silver lining to peek through. Jessica Simpson's synthetic is never luxurious, but when it's woven together like this is feels a bit richer. Roxy undoes a bit of [...]
- Carmina Campus For Mini Collection | Fendi's Eco-Friendly Label Creates Sustainable Bags from Roadster Car Parts - 2012-03-05 00:56:08-05
Carmina Campus, the eco-friendly passion project of fashion royalty Ilaria Venturini Fendi, has released a limited edition collection of bags using parts from classic Mini Roadsters.

- Chocolate Sevina Cross-Body Bag | Small Budget Taupe Bow Purse - 2012-03-05 01:29:24-05
Chocolate's created a purse that's as pretty as a picture with the Sevina. The oversized velvet bow acts as a cherry on top of this simply shaped cross-body. It might be overly flamboyant, but strip it away and the Sevina would be too easy to overlook. Chocolate's tempered its effect somewhat by choosing gentle hues like [...]
