- Gucci Releasing Exclusive Bags in India | New Bamboo & Emily Purses for Delhi & Mumbai Boutiques - 2012-06-11 19:30:09-04
Indian shoppers should start saving their rupees; Gucci will release limited edition New Bamboo and Emily bags exclusively through its Indian flagship stores later this year. The New Bamboo capsule collection features five new bags available in three special leathers. The luxury purses are available in a gold perforated diamante pattern laid over black or pale [...]
- Rampage Mia Shopper Bag | Large Snake Embossed Black Handbag - 2012-06-11 20:03:38-04
Rampage looks to offer us exotic style for less with this Mia shopper, but its execution lets it down. The label uses some age old tactics here to keep the price down. The Mia's made from polyurethane rather than the exotic skin is mimics. Some embossing takes care of the looks, although I'm sure even fashion [...]
- Maison Martin Margiela for H&M? | Latest Designer Collaboration Rumored - 2012-06-11 20:34:26-04
The rumor mill is buzzing that H&M will join forces with Maison Martin Margiela for its next designer collaboration collection. WWD reported that H&M will announce a single collaboration with Maison Martin Margiela for the holidays "soon." H&M and Maison Martin Margiela are both staying mum about the rumors, but they're also not denying their truth [...]
- Rebecca Minkoff Metal Corner Clutch | Contemporary Green Leather Purse - 2012-06-11 21:33:50-04
It might not be blessed with one of the flirty monikers of its stable mates, but this Metal Corner Clutch from Rebecca Minkoff still knows how to attract attention. No accessory made from such a brightly colored leather will ever be overlooked. Rebecca Minkoff calls the hue bright green, but that doesn't adequately describe the richness [...]
- Reed Krakoff Turn-Lock Detailed Wallet | Minimalist Salmon Leather Purse - 2012-06-12 02:47:44-04
Reed Krakoff takes his usual contemporary aesthetic does a few notches with this minimalist Turn-Lock Detailed Wallet. It's appropriate that its name referenced the Turn-Lock detail on the zipper pull, because really that's the only feature of note on this purse. It looks good, but I'm frankly a bit confused by it. Turn-locks add some retro [...]
- Miu Miu Madras Textured Leather Tote | Classic But Eye-Catching Red Tote - 2012-06-12 14:13:27-04
I have often referred to Miu Miu as Prada's hipper younger sister line. It used to be true, with Miu Miu paving the way with cutting edge designs. The line has mellowed over the years, however, and it seems to be getting better with age. This Madras tote is a great example of their new, [...]
- Yves Saint Laurent Cabas Chyc Woven Linen And Leather Tote | Rich Red Fabric Tote With Frayed Edges - 2012-06-12 17:35:54-04
Yves Saint Laurent has made their Cabas design an It bag, favored by celebrities and socialites alike. I've always been a fan of the chic but casual look of the bag, but unfortunately, this frayed edge version of the Cabas doesn't really live up to expectations. The problem here is not the design of the bag. [...]
- WaterField Releases Outback Tech Bags | New Canvas Laptop Totes & Sleeves - 2012-06-12 19:58:25-04
It sounds like San Francisco tech accessories firm WaterField Designs has looked to Australia for inspiration for its new Outback collection. The rugged capsule line features laptop totes and sleeves crafted from waxed canvas and leather. "It has a masculine look and a patina that changes over time to give every bag a unique character," company [...]
- Samsonite Solar Powered Backpack | Innovative Black Eco-Friendly Laptop Bag - 2012-06-12 20:52:16-04
Samsonite delivers natural power on the go with this clever Solar Powered Backpack. A large solar panel makes this simple black bag much more tech savvy than the average. It's not the most stylish feature, but it's so practical that we can forgive its aesthetic shortcomings. The panel collects the sun's energy, ready and waiting until [...]
- Marni Plaid Wool And Leather Hobo Bag | Versatile Slouchy Red Check Carryall - 2012-06-12 20:56:22-04
Marni is a line that I never quite know what to expect of. Sometimes they're straight up street, and sometimes far more sophisticated. That kind of design versatility is unpredictable, but fun. This wool and leather hobo is a pretty in punk slouchy style that makes me want to keep a close eye on Marni. I [...]
- Seoul's New Bag Museum | South Korea Readies Simone Handbag - 2012-06-12 21:23:30-04
Handbag lovers should ensure they take some time out from shopping next time they're visiting South Korea. The country's capital, Seoul, will open the doors of its Simone Handbag museum next month. The museum is the brainchild of famed handbag maker Kenny Park, who saw the venture as a permanent and comprehensive ode to the world [...]
- Santi Beaded Cross-Body Bag | Tribal Embellished Day Purse - 2012-06-13 01:08:21-04
Santi might be an evening bag specialist, but it proves it's also capable of creating an eye-catching daytime accessory with this Beaded Cross-Body bag. Santi's beloved beads are sewn on to the cross-body's flap for an on trend tribal finish. The rainbow of colors really pops against the purse's neutral black base. It's impressive to consider [...]
- Roberto Cavalli Maxi Clutch | Cut-Out Metallic Leather & Satin Purse - 2012-06-13 02:35:29-04
Roberto Cavalli's avant garde approach to fashion has always been a bit hit and miss for me. But it's struck gold with this Maxi Clutch. At its heart, the Maxi is a rainbow colored satin clutch. That would have been pretty, but ultimately forgettable. So Roberto Cavalli adds a breathtaking layer of golden leather for some [...]
- Maison Martin Margiela Confirms H&M Line | New Capsule Collection in the Works - 2012-06-13 03:53:40-04
The rumors are true: Maison Martin Margiela will release a capsule collection through H&M stores. Maison Martin Margiela and H&M were both reluctant to comment on the rumor when approached by the press a few days ago, but it seems they were just waiting to make the announcement in their own sweet time. Perhaps they just [...]
- Sara Berman Kattiya Hobo | Pom-Pom Decorated Brown Leather Carry-All - 2012-06-13 04:44:14-04
Sara Berman brings a dose of whimsy to the classic hobo style with the Kattiya. The Kattiya's relaxed silhouette is a hobo trademark, and the chocolate colored leather brings a familiar dose of bohemia to the design. But Sara Berman takes this classic base and plays around a little. The decorative zips make the design feel [...]
- Giorgio Armani Releases Fall Winter 2012 Advertising Campaign | Aymeline Valade & Simon Nessman Star in Black & White Ad - 2012-06-13 21:36:20-04
Giorgio Armani has gone back to basics with its fall winter 2012 advertising campaign. Famed photographic duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott have snapped models Aymeline Valade and Simon Nessman for the commercials. The black and white images are stark and without distracting backgrounds, so we're forced to focus on the clothes and apparel. It's a [...]
- Roxy Shadow View Backpack | Printed Surf Brand Knapsack - 2012-06-14 01:12:16-04
We're all enjoying the heat of summer, but school will be back before you know it. If you're still hitting the books, or there's someone in your life still studying, this Shadow View Backpack from Roxy is a fun and affordable option. We could never call it sophisticated, but the Shadow View has a playful pattern [...]
- Salvatore Ferragamo Bice Tote | Classic Patent Aqua Handbag - 2012-06-14 02:35:25-04
Salvatore Ferragamo serves up classic style with a colourful pop with this Bice tote. The glossy patent teal finish really makes this tote. Without that luxurious finish and vivid color, this traditionally styled tote might appear ordinary. And goodness knows no bag from the Salvatore Ferragamo stable could ever be that! But these elements help the [...]
- Louis Vuitton Releases Fall Winter 2012 Advertisement | Busy New Fashion Commercial - 2012-06-14 03:48:52-04
Another day brings us another advertising campaign. This time we're looking at Louis Vuitton's offering for the fall winter 2012 season. The Louis Vuitton commercial couldn't be more different from the Giorgio Armani one we admired yesterday. While Giorgio Armani favored a monochromatic color scheme, Louis Vuitton's is rich and warm with burnt yellow, browns, and [...]
- Sherpani Lucky Wallet | Large Purple Eco-Nylon Purse - 2012-06-14 04:33:17-04
It's smaller than the label's day bags, but Sherpani shows it still likes to live large with this Lucky Wallet. This wallet is so large that I thought it might be a clutch purse. It probably could serve as such if it weren't so narrow, or so plain. But as it stands it's a cute, if [...]
- Muhammad Ali Stars in New Louis Vuitton Core Values Ad | Boxing Champion Poses with Grandson - 2012-06-14 05:37:47-04
If Louis Vuitton's fall winter 2012 advertisement left you spinning, perhaps its latest Core Values commercial is more your speed. The latest ad in the fashion house's ongoing campaign features triple working heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali, his adorable grandson, and a monogrammed Louis Vuitton carryall. Annie Leibowitz was back behind the lens to capture the [...]
- Serpui Marie Bruna Clutch | Woven Bamboo Box Purse - 2012-06-14 06:15:23-04
Serpui Marie proves that summer purses don't need to look kitsch with its Bruna clutch. Delicately woven strips of bamboo create a striking geometric design on this box purse. I love the way Serpui Marie has mixed the natural beige fibre with summery blues. Many labels weave natural fibers to create warm weather purses, but I [...]
- Christian Louboutin Justine Fringed Leather Shoulder Bag | Classic Tote With Bizarrely Chose Boho Details - 2012-06-14 13:03:34-04
Second to Napoleon, Christian Louboutin might be one of the most recognizable French names ever. His impeccably styled designs have caught the eyes of fashionistas the world over. Usually, his taste level is absolutely unimpeachable, but I'm afraid this Justine shoulder bag leaves a lot to be desired. The Justine is basically a tote bag. It [...]
- Soapbox Katie Cross-Body Bag | Affordable Black Croc-Embossed Handbag - 2012-06-15 02:45:48-04
We can't all splash out on designer label accessories, so budget bags have an important space in the fashion landscape. But I still expect these affordable options to deport themselves with a sense of style. So it's disappointing to come across a bag like Soapbox's Katie, which looks every bit as cheap as its price [...]
- Kris Van Assche Designs New Eastpack Collection | Dior Homme Designer's Work Accessories Line - 2012-06-15 03:31:49-04
Dior Homme creative director Kris Van Assche will release his third capsule collection for Eastpack next month. The new season line, dubbed Work, features an elegant mix of masculine backpacks, bags, and suitcases made with office and business trips in mind. Men and women who favour androgynous designs should be able to indulge in the pieces [...]
- SR Squared by Sondra Roberts Ring Toss Grommet Hobo | Overdone Synthetic Handbag - 2012-06-15 04:52:52-04
Sondra Roberts overdoses on metal with this Ring Toss hobo. I really like grommets as a more unusual alternative to studs, but like all accents I think they're best used sparingly. They're called accents for a reason, so they shouldn't dominate the design. But Sondra Roberts seems to have thrown out that rulebook when creating the [...]
- Kate Bosworth Designs Boutique Bags | New Accessories for JewelMint Collection - 2012-06-15 05:05:09-04
Actress Kate Bosworth has launched a new accessories collection for her label, JewelMint. While JewelMint focused exclusively on jewelry, the 13-piece Boutique line features belts, jewelry-inspired bags, clutch purses, and jewelry. Boutique and JewelMint are both the joint endeavors of Bosworth and her long-time stylist Cher Coulter. The pairing seems to be working, as Bosworth recently [...]
- Stella McCartney Hawaiian Shopping Bag | Tropical Printed Nylon Carryall - 2012-06-15 06:04:10-04
Stella McCartney gets back to basics with this Hawaiian Shopping Bag. The designer hasn't reinvented the wheel here, but there are some nice things about this shopper. I've long appreciated Stella McCartney's stance against animal cruelty but her vegan-friendly skins don't always hit the mark. All too often they're thin, tacky, and overpriced. The nylon she's [...]
- Valentino Silk Georgette Rosette Clutch | Elegant Red Evening Bag With Floral Appliques - 2012-06-15 13:41:37-04
Valentino's retirement a few years ago rocked the fashion kingdom to its roots. Since then, the line has been back and forth, up and down. Luckily, this silk georgette rosette clutch stays true to his designs. It is beautifully refined, elegant, and timeless. The shape of this clutch is, at its foundation, a simple rectangle. The [...]
- Jimmy Choo Justine Python Tote | Super Cool Brightly Dyed Snakeskin Carryall - 2012-06-15 17:07:04-04
I have sort of a love/hate/love relationship with Jimmy Choo. His designs are often classic, cooly trendy, but sometimes a bit boring. That is not the case with this Justine python tote. It has Choo's all of signature classic elegance and throws in a really cool material and color palette to boot. I'm not really sure [...]
- Sonia Rykiel Capaia Bucket Bag | Drawstring Colorblock Stripe Handbag - 2012-06-16 02:52:20-04
Sonia Rykiel serves up a fun casual bucket bag for summer with the Capaia. It's on trend colorblocked finish makes it feel really contemporary, but I don't expect this bag to date as quickly as many of the accessories following the fad. Rather than the retro treatment we see in many modern bags, Sonia Rykiel's opted [...]
- Freitag's New F60 JOAN Bike Bags | Recycled Truck Tarpaulin Handbags for Cyclists - 2012-06-16 03:41:08-04
Sustainable Swiss handbag label Freitag has added a convertible bag for cyclists to its green collection. The clever F60 JOAN bags can become bicycle baskets with just a little know how. The F60 JOAN bags feature two discrete rear tabs, which help them easily affix to bicycle handlebars. Strapping one on to your cycle sounds a [...]
- Steve Madden BVexie Cross-Body Bag | Bohemian Fringed Brown Suede Purse - 2012-06-16 04:30:36-04
Steve Madden has fun with fringe with this BVexie Cross-Body Bag. The BVexie is the epitome of bohemian chic, with its soft suede body and long, relaxed fringing. It takes us back to the free love period of the late 60s, although it's got a few contemporary perks that modern girls should appreciate. It's got several interior [...]
- Lanvin Readies "Happy" Les 10 Ans Collection | Line Celebrates Alber Elbaz's Decade Milestone - 2012-06-16 05:25:27-04
Alber Elbaz is celebrating his tenth year at Lanvin with the release of the "Happy" Les 10 Ans capsule collection. There's no risk of forgetting the years of Elbaz's tenure, because the range features 10 versions of Lanvin's iconic Happy bag, 10 pairs of shoes, and 10 dramatic pieces of jewelry. The items are grouped in [...]
- Stone Mountain Garden Party Tote | Affordable Floral Carry-All Bag - 2012-06-17 02:09:31-04
Stone Mountain calls this tote bag a Garden Party, but sadly it doesn't make me feel like celebrating. That might be a harsh synopsis, but I can't recall Stone Mountain creating a bag that looks quite so dated before. Its floral print might be seasonal, but it feels very tired. I'm sure my grandmother has scatter [...]
- Warner Brothers Wins Louis Vuitton Copyright Case | The Hangover: Part II Triumphs in Court - 2012-06-17 03:45:48-04
Louis Vuitton has lost its lawsuit against the Warner Brothers movie studio. The fashion house hoped to claim damages from the film company, who used a replica LV bag in its 2011 buddy comedy The Hangover: Part II. But Judge Andrew Carter found that Warner Brothers should not be held liable. The judge said most filmgoers would [...]
- Straw Studios Talia Tote | Nautical Canvas Carry Bag with Rope Handles - 2012-06-17 04:18:13-04
Straw Studios trades in its usual straw for canvas with this Talia Tote. I'm personally glad Straw Studios stepped out of its usual box. The canvas fabric is every bit as summery as the natural fibers Straw Studios usually works with, but it's much stronger. While woven straw bags inevitably break after a few season's exposure [...]
- Independent Handbag Designer Awards Winners Named | Fiona Kempton & Arbol de Vienta Take Top Prizes - 2012-06-17 05:57:52-04
Kempton & Co. and Arbol de Vienta took out top honors at Handbag Designer 101's sixth annual Independent Handbag Designer Awards. Kempton & Co.'s Wiltshire purse, pictured, was named the Best Green Handbag at the New York awards ceremony. Company founder Fiona Kempton crafts the handbag entirely from reclaimed materials including old flour sacks and hardware [...]
- Stuart Weitzman Hoops Clutch | Bold Art Deco Canvas Purse - 2012-06-18 02:12:38-04
Add some pop to any neutral ensemble with this bold Hoops clutch from Stuart Weitzman. The Hoops' striking print really makes this purse. It's bold lines give it an art deco feel, but its saturated colors ensure it's still fresh. I've fallen for this green color scheme, but it's also available in classic red and brown [...]
