Hi mary,

Check out the latest handbag fashion news and review at BagBunch.com:
  1. Coach Makes Wallets from Vintage Baseball Mitts | Quirky Sports Themed Heritage Collection - 2012-05-21 01:02:51-04
    Coach has looked to the past with its new Heritage Baseball collection, a capsule range of men's wallets crafted from vintage baseball gloves. The collection takes us back to Coach's roots. On its inception in 1941 the Gail Manufacturing Company, as it was called then, was more famous for its wallets and billfolds than women's handbags. [...]
  2. Laurel & Sunset Dunsmouth Hobo | Smelly & Confused Pleated Purse - 2012-05-21 21:23:30-04
    Laurel & Sunset always delivers affordable accessories, but often its aesthetic leaves a bit to be desired. Such is the case with the Dunsmouth Hobo, which sees some promising elements clumsily sandwiched together. I can't help thinking of the Bride of Frankenstein when I look at this hobo. The gathered pleated section near the base is [...]
  3. Ines Figaredo's Unusual 4 Against 4 Handbag Collection | Quirky Art Purses are Real Hand Bags! - 2012-05-21 21:45:32-04
    Spanish designer Ines Figaredo has pushed the boundaries with her latest handbag collection, dubbed 4 Against 4. The 4 Against 4 line is all about combining the world of fashion with avante garde art. The accessories are a bit bizarre, but they also have the luxurious finishes and unusual elegance which should appeal to girls that [...]
  4. Roberto Cavalli Neon Python Clutch | Bright Pink Snake Clasp Purse - 2012-05-21 22:46:09-04
    Roberto Cavalli takes us back to the 80s with this pretty in pink Neon Python clutch. Of course Molly Ringwald's character in the John Hughes film could never have afforded an exotic designer purse, but I can imagine her gazing longingly at this neon colored creation. It screams retro chic with its vibrant pink hue, angled [...]
  5. Victoria Beckham Plans Fashion Stores | Bricks and Mortar & Online Outlets on the Horizon - 2012-05-22 00:01:20-04
    Victoria Beckham is planning to sell her apparel and fashion accessories at a new bricks and mortar store and an e-commerce site. Despite starting to talk retail outlets last summer, Beckham hasn't made any firm location plans yet. Early reports suggested she'd set up shop in New York, but Beckham says she's now leaning towards the [...]
  6. Lauren Merkin Vivi Clutch | Acid Colored Python Embossed Purse - 2012-05-22 00:28:25-04
    A pop of acid color gives this Vivi clutch from Lauren Merkin a fun day to night appeal. I love the way the bold green and blue patches contrast with the Vivi's gentle monochromatic scales. They're not real snake scales mind you, but for this price I hardly care. At $295 we get the looks of [...]
  7. LeSportsac Regatta Shoulder Bag | Striped Nautical Nylon Rucksack - 2012-05-22 02:39:04-04
    LeSportsac helps us ring in summer with nautical style with this Regatta Shoulder Bag. The Regatta has a casual style, but it's more sophisticated than many of LeSportsac's designs. The cutesy prints the label often employs are replaced with wide horizontal stripes. I like this pretty green and white color scheme, but it's also available in [...]
  8. Burberry Wins Copyright Case | British Label Awarded Millions Against Counterfeiters - 2012-05-22 03:41:39-04
    Burberry is the latest fashion firm to score a win against counterfeiters. The British company was recently awarded more than $100 million in damages against a network of Chinese based counterfeiters running an online racket. The accused reportedly sold at least 22 fashion items modelled after Burberry products and bearing the label's trademarks. Yesburberryvision.com and buyburberry [...]
  9. Lily Waters Casey Cross-Body Bag | Colorful Quilted Fabric Handbag - 2012-05-22 18:39:53-04
    Lily Waters serves up another colorful quilted handbag with this Casey cross-body. In many ways this is more of the same from the designer many hail as the new Vera Bradley. We've seen her work with vibrant quilted cloths many times before, However its cross-body configuration gives the Casey its point of difference. It's petite and [...]
  10. Kotur Collaborates with Rachel Roy & J.Crew | Two New Designer Pairings for Fall 2012 - 2012-05-22 19:21:00-04
    Fiona Kotur's joined forces with Rachel Roy and J.Crew for two fun new fall 2012 Kotur capsule collections. The collaborative lines offer two very distinctive looks. The Rachel Roy collaboration is a bit bolder than many fans might expect of Kotur. An art deco style black and gold envelope clutch and a peacock feather decorated box [...]
  11. Linea Pelle Jules Cross-Body Bag | Convertible Brown Leather Whipstitched Purse - 2012-05-23 01:20:52-04
    Linea Pelle takes whipstitching out of the country with this urban Jules Cross-Body. I really like the way the label cleverly interlinks the whipstitching and silver hardware. The effect is edgy without being obnoxious, strong and confident but not brash. Black leather would have been an obvious choice for such a bold look, but I'm glad [...]
  12. Liz Claiborne Jen Shopper | Colorblocked Canvas Shopping Bag - 2012-05-23 18:35:49-04
    Liz Claiborne shows its playful side with the Jen Shopper. The colorblocked finish gives this simple shopping bag some real punch. The girly girl in me can't help but be drawn to this navy and pink version but there's also a gentle lemon yellow and seaglass green alternative, as well as a neutral black and dune [...]
  13. Louis Vuitton Introduces Haute Maroquinerie | New Customized Designer Bag Service - 2012-05-23 19:11:44-04
    Louis Vuitton disappointed many customers recently when it discontinued its special order service. However it seems they've got a new reason to smile, as it's been superseded by the introduction of Louis Vuitton Haute Maroquinerie in its most prestigious flagship stores. Haute Maroquinerie, which translates to high leather goods, allows customers to create a personalized Louis [...]
  14. Lodis Spring Mix Sydney Wallet | Shimmery Pink Metallic Leather Purse - 2012-05-23 20:25:06-04
    Lodis adds a bit of sparkle to our everyday with this fun Spring Mix Sydney Wallet. Its name is a bit of a mouthful, but perhaps the only things you need know is that this is a very pink but very practical purse. That vivid hue is likely to turn off all but the most ardent [...]
  15. Harveys Releases 15th Anniversary Satchel | New Colors & Styles Celebrate Milestones - 2012-05-23 20:53:38-04
    Harveys is celebrating its 15th year creating bags from seatbelts with the release of a limited edition purse, a bamboo-handled hobo and some fun new colors. The 15th Anniversary Satchel is a bit of a blast from the past, as it features the label's first print, the SeatbeltBug. The creepy crawly pattern is given a modern [...]
  16. London Fog Campbell Canvas Tote | Green Canvas Colorblocked Handbag with Patent Trim - 2012-05-24 01:58:07-04
    It seems that every second handbag released these days is colorblocked. Most seem like they're simply following the trend, but in amongst these vibrant purses there are some real gems. It's becoming harder for colorblocked handbags to turn my head, but the Campbell from London Fog has that something special. The combination of colors here is [...]
  17. Longchamp Cosmos Bag | Sophisticated White Leather Domed Bowler Handbag - 2012-05-24 02:23:21-04
    Longchamp might be an esteemed fashion house, but honestly I've never warmed to its designs. They always seemed a bit samey, and lacking in any real flair. However it seems it designed the Cosmos on a good day. Saying it's out of this world would be overstating the point, but this is definitely one of [...]
  18. Georgia May Jagger Models for Material Girl | Rolling Stones Daughter Scores Advertising Campaign - 2012-05-24 03:19:43-04
    Material Girl is sticking to its pop music roots, announcing Georgia May Jagger as its new face and ambassador. The daughter of Rolling Stones' frontman Mick Jagger takes over from its previous musically connected models Kelly Osbourne and Taylor Momsen. Jagger says it was "truly amazing" to be handpicked by Madonna and her daughter Lourdes "Lola" [...]
  19. Louis Vuitton Montaigne Clutch | Luxury Ivory Epi Leather Evening Purse - 2012-05-24 04:48:33-04
    Louis Vuitton is one of the world's leading fashion houses, but I find its accessories a bit hit and miss. Its signature printed purses appear tired and out of step, but its more minimalist designs make me weak at the knees. Perhaps that's why I'm contemplating investing far too much money in this Montaigne clutch! She [...]
  20. Karina Smirnoff Sells Apparel & Accessories for Charity | Buy "Dancing with the Stars" Dancer's Fendi Spy Bag - 2012-05-24 05:47:16-04
    Dancing with the Stars professional Karina Smirnoff is cleaning out her closet for a good cause. The ballroom dancer has listed many designer apparel items and accessories through new shopping site HipSwap.com. Proceeds from the sale will benefit one of her favorite charities, AIM. I can't imagine how Smirnoff can bear to part with many of [...]
  21. Lovcat Vintage Frame Clutch | Black Leather Grommet & Bow Purse - 2012-05-24 22:18:24-04
    Lovcat combines the past and present for this unusual Vintage Frame Clutch. In the hands of a better designer, the unique blend of old and new might have appeared quirky or playful. However here I think it's just a bit confused. Traditional elements like the burnished metal frame, kiss-lock clasp, and black textured leather give this [...]
  22. Lucky Brand Ikat Sling Hobo | Tribal Blue Canvas Carryall - 2012-05-25 02:20:48-04
    Lucky Brand cashes in on the tribal trend with this Ikat Sling Hobo. Perhaps it's a bit cynical to suggest Lucky Brand's simply following fashion here, but I'm not seeing a lot of flair. The ikat print is really strong, especially in this bold blue and black, but this bag doesn't have much else going for [...]
  23. Gola Releases Redford Supersize | Label Enlarges Popular Handbag - 2012-05-25 03:08:35-04
    Lifestyle brand Gola has created a bag for the packrats with the release of its new Redford Supersize. The Redford Supersize takes up where the label's flagship Redford design left off. That iconic bag has been in production since the 1970s, which is a testament to its enduring popularity. Of course women in that decade didn't [...]
  24. Lulu Guinness Lily Cat Shopper | Cute Kitty Canvas Purse - 2012-05-25 04:21:47-04
    I love Lulu Guinness' whimsical approach to fashion, but sometimes her trademark red lips start feeling a bit tired. So I'm thrilled to see her looking elsewhere for inspiration with this Lily Cat Shopper. There's nothing fancy about this black canvas shopper, but its bold cat design should endear it to feline lovers. I love the [...]
  25. First Look at Yayoi Kusama for Louis Vuitton | Images of Latest Artist Collaboration Collection - 2012-05-25 05:48:20-04
    The artistic pairing was announced some five months ago, and now Louis Vuitton has finally revealed images from its long awaited collaborative capsule collection with Yayoi Kusama. The Japanese artist has long been enamoured with dots, so it's unsurprising to see the accent celebrated on this shift dress, baguette bag, and even the bow decorated shoes. [...]
  26. Lux de Ville Atomic Tote | Leopard Print Quilted Handbag - 2012-05-25 19:57:09-04
    Lux de Ville showcases its rockabilly style with this Atomic Tote. After seeing so many sparkly vinyl accessories from the label, I'm thrilled to see it branching into another direction. The leopard printed fur finish suits Lux de Ville's retro aesthetic perfectly, and is a great match for the shiny black patent trim. I could have [...]
  27. M. Andonia In Crowd Large Cosmetics Case | Modern Face Printed Purse - 2012-05-26 02:40:50-04
    I can't promise carrying it will make you one of the cool kids, but the bold face print of M. Andonia's In Crowd cosmetics case must make life more fun! The print is really inspired, with colored faces in amongst the sea of black and white folks. The artistic pattern reminds me of something Andy Warhol [...]
  28. Luisa via Roma Releases Dog Desmo Shopper for UNICEF | Cute Pug Puppy Purse - 2012-05-26 03:31:55-04
    Luisa via Roma has embraced its kitschy side for a good cause. The leading online shopping destination has released this cute Desmo designed shopping bag to benefit UNICEF through its Pug Dogs for Happy Kids scheme. This Pug Dogs for Happy Kids initiative has been around for some time, but it's only just crossed our radar. [...]
  29. Mad by Design Sangria Clutch | Red Quilted Framed Purse - 2012-05-26 23:12:45-04
    Mad by Design takes the path less traveled for this eye-catching Sangria clutch. But has the label gone too far? I really like many of the Sangria's elements, but I can't shake the feeling that Mad by Design got lost somewhere along the way. The three-dimensional geometric design is so striking, and the complementary quilting complements [...]
  30. Buy Fashion Shares Through Facebook | Fifth & Pacific Launches World First Investment Platform - 2012-05-26 23:31:57-04
    Fifth & Pacific Cos, the firm formerly known as Liz Claiborne Inc., has made it even easier for us to own a piece of our favorite fashion labels. The parent company for Juicy Couture, Kate Spade, and Lucky Brand is allowing fans to buy the companies stocks' directly from their Facebook pages. Now that's a [...]
  31. Mar Y Sol Mad Imports Lola Clutch | Sequined Navy Raffia Purse - 2012-05-27 19:18:43-04
    Mar Y Sol adds a little glitz to its eco-friendly raffia accessories line with the Lola Clutch. But has the label done enough to convince you? At its core this is a very traditional Mar Y Sol purse. Its compact flap-over body is crafted from hand-braided sustainable raffia. That's nothing new for the brand, but it [...]
  32. Clint Eastwood's Daughter Kills Birkin | Hermes Bag Sliced & Burned! - 2012-05-27 21:41:15-04
    Clint Eastwood's daughter Francesca Fisher-Eastwood has earned the ire of handbag lovers everywhere after destroying a crocodile Hermes Birkin bag on gossip channel TMZ. Apparently the Hollywood heir, who currently stars on the reality series Mrs. Eastwood and Company, worked with her photographer boyfriend Tyler Shields on the stunt. They bought the bag, which retails for [...]
  33. Maddalena Marconi Suede Hobo | Stone Decorated Handle Purple Bag - 2012-05-27 23:08:36-04
    We usually associate Maddalena Marconi with ostentatious evening bags covered in fringe and crystals. But the fashion house shows it can take its aesthetic down a few notches with this suede hobo. This is a classic hobo, which slouches in all the right places. The soft suede it's the perfect material for a bag with such [...]
  34. Louis Vuitton Releases Short Film | Purple Founder Directs Fictional Paris Fashion Week Video Diary - 2012-05-27 23:51:21-04
    Louis Vuitton is the latest fashion label to release a short film. Olivier Zahm, the founder of French fashion and culture magazine Purple, served as both actor and director for this brooding black and white flick. Alice Aufrey stars as a contemporary version of Bridgette Bardot in the movie, which was intended as a visual representation [...]
  35. Magid Novelty Straw Turn-Lock Cross-Body Bag | Woven Green Purse - 2012-05-28 02:45:39-04
    Magid gets us ready for summer with this playful straw cross-body bag. Magid calls this a novelty bag, but that description honestly seems a bit dismissive. This cross-body is certainly fun, but I'd hardly put it in the novelty category. Whatever you call it, there's a certain charm to its bold jewel hues and structured shape. [...]
