- Juicy Couture Mayer Leather Clutch | Unusual White Leather Designer Handbag - 2009-06-08 16:47:37-04
I have already admitted to my distaste for Juicy Couture. But, I have to admit that I don't hate this handbag. I don't absolutely love it, but it's a sure step up from bubblegum pink terrycloth.
I'll even go as far as to say that I love the shape of this bag. Yes, I love it. [...]
- B. Makowsky Taipei Hobo | Slouchy and Studded Leather Handbag - 2009-06-08 17:07:41-04
I'm all for the trendy studded look on handbags as long as the result isn't too western. Not that there's anything wrong with the cowgirl style, but it's just not my personal taste. When metallic studs are added for an edgy look, however, I generally like the result.
Well, those who agree with me are in luck [...]
- Celebrities Design Man Bags for Charity Auction | Ricky Gervais, Twiggy, and Jimmy Choo Among the Group - 2009-06-08 17:49:43-04
A charity auction involving fashion and celebrities is certainly nothing new. We've seen them benefit the Sir Elton John AIDS Foundation and even Global Giving relief efforts in Italy.
Celebrities always seem to jump right in when this sort of thing comes around, whether it's for the publicity or simply a big heart. Well, this time [...]
- Celestina Pina Oakwood Clutch | Rectangular Mother Of Pearl Wooden Bag - 2009-06-08 21:36:49-04
Rectangular. Wooden. Looks a bit more like art or furniture than a bag. If you ordered a think-piece purse, Celestina has got it for you with their Pina Oakwood Clutch.
The pale wood of the bag is polished to an almost plastic-like shine, set off by the opalescent glow of three-dimensional mother of pearl designs on the [...]
- Goldenbleu Ellen Shoulder Bag | Glossy Patent Leather Crocodile Print Purse - 2009-06-08 21:39:11-04
This slim and sexy handbag is a great opportunity to snap up a Goldenbleu beauty before all their purses disappear from our shelves.
In deep plum crocodile patterned patent leather, this shoulder bag is just the thing to carry your belongings whilst looking suave and elegant. Armed with this luxury glossy purse, women everywhere should look sophisticated [...]
- Gustto Parina Shoulder Bag | Casual Leather Drawstring Handbag - 2009-06-09 02:05:11-04
Gustto has created a cool, casual purse in the Parina. At $645 it's not exactly cheap, but it's rare to find a shoulder bag of such quality and style under four figures. So let's look at why it's turned my head.
First we've got that shape. The flared base and slim profile add interest in a [...]
- Hong Kong Teen Swaps Oral Sex for Designer Handbag - 2009-06-09 03:05:53-04
Police in Hong Kong are investigating an online video showing a teenage girl performing oral sex in exchange for cash to buy a designer handbag. The six-minute clip shows the 17-year-old performing the sex act on the upper deck of a Hong Kong bus.
The video, which appears to be shot on a camera phone, has [...]
- Jil Sander Suede Hobo Handbag | Simple Chic Chocolate Brown Shoulder Bag - 2009-06-09 04:05:00-04
There's a time and a place for It bags, the kind that will turn heads for one season and look passé the next. If you're looking for an off-the-moment status symbol, these trendy purses can't be beat. But as we all feel the effects of the financial crisis, these designer handbags tend to get passed [...]
- Whiting & Davis Bella Frame | Metal Mesh Bag with Printed Woman Figure - 2009-06-09 17:19:33-04
I'm almost embarrassed to admit that when I first saw the name of this little handbag, I wondered if it had anything to do with the popular, much-discussed Twilight book series whose heroine bears the same name. Of course, I soon realized the ridiculousness of the thought and quickly deduced that the word "Bella" refers to [...]
- Bottega Veneta Large Veneta Crocodile Bag | Super Luxurious Caramel Crocodile Designer Handbag - 2009-06-09 19:52:56-04
Holy Bottega Veneta! That's what I thought when I saw this handbag. Bottega has always played with the big dogs (and by dogs, I mean designers), but this bag puts the line into super luxe territory usually reserved only for the oldest and most respected houses.
Not that Bottega Veneta isn't respected, it totally is. And [...]
- Emma Watson's Burberry Fall/Winter Ad Campaign Revealed | Harry Potter Actress Models New Handbags with Male Hotties - 2009-06-09 22:08:00-04
Hermione Granger is all grown up now. Emma Watson, of Harry Potter movie fame, is the star of Burberry's most current advertising campaign.
When I first heard the rumors of the starlet appearing in the ads, I wasn't sure what to expect of her following in the footsteps of previous Burberry fashion models like Kate Moss and Lily [...]
- Joe's Jeans Capos Tote Bag | Detailed Embellished Leather Hold-All Handbag - 2009-06-09 22:12:59-04
Joe's Jeans have produced another beautiful bag in their detailed Capos series.
Defined by their sumptuous leather detailing, these bags feature single block colors in an artistic layered leather. Rather than looking overdecorated and garish, therefore, these purses achieve a subtle build up of luxury leather and a delicate pattern. It's a great way to produce [...]
- Fendi Violet Sequined Spy Bag | Small Satin Sparkly Tote - 2009-06-09 22:53:23-04
A Fendi Spy bag is the It bag to end all It bags. While this comes with incredible cache, it also comes with a lot of lemmings and the pitfall of seeing every other girl with your purse.
So it behooves a shopper to look for a lesser-worn design of a high-visibility It bag. Like this [...]
- Sonia Kashuk Cheetah Sonia Clutch | Cute Affordable Animal Print Frame Purse - 2009-06-10 02:05:39-04
Retro 1980s style purses are hot property right now, but I'm always a little reluctant to cash in on a fad which is bound to be fleeting. But at just $12.99, this Sonia Kashuk clutch may be the solution, helping us stay-on-trend without the guilt.
This is 80s fashion at its flamboyant finest. The purple polyester [...]
- Ginza Tanaka Platinum and Diamond Purse | Pay More Than a Million Dollars for This Luxurious Handbag - 2009-06-10 03:05:31-04
I'm always on the lookout for luxury, whether it's to drool over beautiful items or to laugh at the ridiculous prices. So I was pretty excited to find Maybeyoushouldntbuythat.com, a new blog dishing up lavish goods with a healthy dose of snark.
This opulent Ginza Tanaka purse is one of the items that caught my eye. [...]
- Spiegel Rosette Tote Bag | Affordable Simple White Handbag with Modern Rose Detail - 2009-06-10 04:05:20-04
Spiegel dresses up the traditional white tote with its Rosette bag. It's those all-important details which take this wardrobe staple from drab to fab.
Spiegel cleverly skirts the line between feminine and fussy with this minimalist modern design. Burgundy PVC is used to great effect in the trim, dual handles, and pretty rosette which gives the [...]
- Kathy Van Zeeland Heartbeat Hobo | Shiny Purple Handbag in Synthetic Material - 2009-06-10 21:55:40-04
I hate to sound too negative, but this kind of handbag is exactly why Kathy Van Zeeland isn't at the top of my favorite designers list. Though there are several exceptions like the Stud Muffin Tote, I tend to view the brand's designs as flashy and a little overworked with hardware.
With its glossy purple-colored faux [...]
- La Regale Rhinestone Ball Clutch | Gem Encrusted Satin Evening Bag - 2009-06-10 22:33:08-04
So you have a fancy night out coming up? Perhaps a wedding or a dance? You really need a beautiful handbag, but the credit crunch is wreaking havoc on the contents of your purse?
OK, question time is over, and now come the answers. This little gem enhanced clutch from La Regale, kings of cheap and [...]
- Hermes Breeds Their Own Crocodiles for Handbags | Reptile Farm in Australia - 2009-06-10 23:00:56-04
As far as do-it-yourself projects go, this one takes the cake for me. Luxury brand Hermes has recently revealed their plans to breed crocodiles to keep up with their overwhelming handbag demand.
It's slightly conflicting news since we just learned of the company's recent postponing of store openings because of financial struggles. However, along with that [...]
- VBH Mother of Pearl Clutch | Limited Edition Black Evening Purse - 2009-06-11 02:05:56-04
VBH became a designer to watch when Michelle Obama recently stepped out in New York carrying the Ballerina Bag. While the brand may have the First Lady's seal of approval, I find their bags a little hit and miss. The Glitter Clutch may have been a little uninspired, but this mother of pearl clutch is [...]
- Thousand Dollar Karl Lagerfield Bear | Chanel Designer's Ego Knows No Bounds - 2009-06-11 03:05:27-04
Karl Lagerfield's the man we love to love for his gorgeous Chanel handbags and love to hate for his narcissistic streak. That ego is on show again with the release of the Karl Lagerfield bear, a furry likeness of the iconic designer.
Cashed up Chanel fans can snag one of these limited edition bears for $989. [...]
- Whiting & Davis Leather Flowers Hobo | Metallic Mesh Handbag with Rosette Details - 2009-06-11 04:05:09-04
Whiting & Davis is a favorite choice for budget-conscious fashionistas looking for the glamor of vintage evening bags without the four-figure price tag. With the leather flowers hobo, the label abandons its usual after five focus to create a cute everyday accessory.
At least, that was the intention. This hobo might have an adorable casual look, [...]
- Anya Hindmarch Dairy Tote | Cute And Quirky Take Everywhere Canvas Tote - 2009-06-11 17:37:07-04
When I saw Anya Hindmarch's "Meat and Poultry" tote, I thought it was adorable and wished there were more like it. Well, sometimes wishes do come true.
Here's another in the new line of totes by Hindmarch. This one is printed in dark pink ink with an old-fashion milk bottle and half dozen eggs. I really [...]
- The SAK Dandelion Flap Bag | Convertible Nylon Tote with Cute Retro Print - 2009-06-11 18:42:24-04
The name of this handbag might be similar to the the Silverlake Flap Bag also from The SAK, but the two styles are very different in appearance.
Whereas the Silverlake is made from a subtle dark leather material, this Dandelion bag is crafted from practical nylon. The funky, retro-style print on the flap bag was designed by [...]
- Bruno Rossi Luxury Bright Shoulder Bag | Italian Leather Hobo in 6 Colors - 2009-06-11 21:21:02-04
Bruno Rossi is a slightly anonymous designer in the hugely competitive world of handbags. His range, however, does deserve some recognition. In bright primary colors featuring his signature rainbow trim, these are bold and stylish additions to the market.
This particular bag, a spacious and decadent hobo, it just the thing to keep you feeling the [...]
- Yves Saint Laurent Creates Sustainable Collection | Eco-Friendly Clothes, Handbags, and Shoes Debut at Barneys - 2009-06-11 22:17:59-04
If you thought environmentally-friendly fashion meant organic totes and recycled candy wrapper bags, Yves Saint Laurent is here to prove you wrong. The label has taken the idea of using recycled materials and gone in a new direction for couture.
Under the design direction of Stefano Pilati, YSL has released a new collection called "New Vintage" [...]
- Big Buddha Katie Hobo Bag | Quirky Textured Knit Boho Handbag - 2009-06-12 02:05:43-04
We all know Big Buddha as an affordable on-trend fashion label but this Katie bag seems more grandmotherly than glamorous.
The popcorn knit finish has a cute quirkiness about it, but I just can't shake the idea that it looks like a failed Christmas gift from a well-meaning elderly relative. From the drab neutral color palette [...]
- PETA Snaps at Hermes | Fashion Label's Crocodile Farms Slammed By Animal Rights Group - 2009-06-12 03:05:04-04
We knew Hermes' Australian crocodile farms were bound to anger PETA, so it's no surprise to hear the animal rights group has hit back.
"The thought of purposely breeding and killing crocodiles for an outdated, overpriced handbag should make any fashionista's skin crawl," the group said in a statement. "If Hermes really wants to be a [...]
- Cole Haan Village Small Shoulder Bag | Cute Chic Structured Leather Handbag - 2009-06-12 04:05:40-04
They say that good things come in small packages. Diamond rings, pieces of chocolate, this Village shoulder bag from Cole Haan ... they might be right!
It may be a small in stature, but this smart Cole Haan purse packs a real style punch. The structured classic shape and lush pebbled leather give it a timeless [...]
- Lanvin Mini Pop Bag | Fabulous Candy Colored Sleek Satin Shoulder Bag - 2009-06-12 17:55:40-04
Lanvin is one the oldest couture houses, and as such, it has been outfitting the richest and most fabulous of the elite for more than a century. It's purebred roots result in designs that will remain as chic and timeless a hundred years from now as they were a hundred years ago.
This satin Pop shoulder [...]
- Nahui Ollin Flat Envelope Messenger | Recycled Paper Tote in Barcode Material - 2009-06-12 21:20:03-04
This just might be the cutest Nahui Ollin handbag I've come across so far. Despite the busy barcode paper of which it is constructed, the overall result is somehow simple and pleasing to the eye...or at least mine in particular.
Though I'm fully supportive of creative, eco-friendly fashion, I don't usually find myself ga-ga over Nahui [...]
- Guess Vanity Tote | Plastic Two Piece Beach Bag - 2009-06-12 21:27:58-04
With summer pretty much on the doorstep, I am currently loving plastic bags. Vivienne Westwood plastic shoes are dominating the market, and bags are starting to follow the same vinyl trends.
This Guess handbag is a particularly useful and pretty example.The plastic is glossy and functional, and avoids being tacky with the addition of high sheen colored [...]
- Take a Peek at Handbags from the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2010 Collection - 2009-06-12 21:52:30-04
Looking for some summer fashion inspiration? Take a gander at the Louis Vuitton cruise collection for 2010.
Marc Jacobs, the current Creative Director for the luxury design house, seemed to draw from a sexy safari/nautical theme for the collection's overall look. If you take a look at some of the handbags, you'll see what I mean.
The thick rope [...]
- Francesco Biasia Hip Colette Purse | Chunky White Leather Designer Handbag - 2009-06-13 02:05:14-04
We can usually count on Italian designer Francesco Biasia to produce handbags that are on-trend, yet timeless, at prices much lower than the big-name brands. The Hip Colette feels so confident in its style that the moniker trumpets it, but I feel that ego is a little misplaced.
It's not that the purse is bad, exactly. [...]
- Maggie Bags Recycle Seatbelts for Durable Handbags | Just Like Harveys, Only Different - 2009-06-13 03:05:20-04
Harveys may have some hot competition on its hands, with Maggie Bags looking to steal its seatbelt purse crown. Just like Harveys, the Tennessee-based Maggie Bags label creates eco-friendly accessories from recycled seatbelts.
But it's not quite more of the same. While Harveys handbags feature a traditional lattice design, Maggie Bags are made with a patented [...]
- Valentino Kaleidoscope Stone Tote | Gray Satin Metallic Handbag - 2009-06-13 09:24:40-04
Just another note in the Valentino is awesome file, the new Valentino Kaleidoscope Stone Tote has begun racking up a waiting list of pre-orders for fall 09.
The gradient stones that cover ever inch of the gray satin tote give the illusion of mirrors the way they catch the light. A slight ombre effect adds to [...]
- Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Groovee | Electric Violet Pebble Grained Leather Shoulder Bag - 2009-06-13 13:57:51-04
I love the Marc by Marc Jacobs line because it makes high design available at a lower price. The line is replete with affordable alternatives to the higher priced designer lines, and with a hip and downtown edge.
Lately I am crazy for purple, all shades of it. For summer, I am really digging atomic violets [...]
- Jessica Simpson St. Tropez Clutch | Multi-Colored Faux Crocodile Handbag - 2009-06-13 18:15:11-04
If nothing else, this Jessica Simpson St. Tropez bag is certainly an eye-catcher. I find myself wondering how many outfits it could possibly work with, and yet I like it all the same.
It's not that the brightly colored, harlequin-like pattern isn't slightly overwhelming at first glance. I know I had to do a double take (or two) [...]
- Littleearth Metal Cyclone Purse | Polka-Dot Eco-Friendly Recycled Barrel Clutch - 2009-06-13 21:29:26-04
The time has come to do a little something for our home, planet Earth. But don't worry, because at least it is fun with this environmentally friendly handbag from quirky designers Littleearth.
With vintage always in the big magazines, Polka Dot is a style that never goes out of fashion. This cylindrical metal bag utilizes this [...]
- Botkier Ziggy Hobo Handbag | Contemporary Leather Designer Bag - 2009-06-14 02:05:28-04
Botkier has given the hobo a sleek modern makeover with the Ziggy. The trademark slouch and hippy flair is gone, replaced with chic styling and an uptown attitude.
The defining feature is the cool angular lines. We see them in the pointed flap, and again on the pleated zip-around front pocket. The traditional crescent shape is [...]
- Affordable Zen 3 Handbags Wow Celebrities | Cate Blanchett, Lindsay Lohan, and Eva Longoria Fall for Budget-Friendly Bags - 2009-06-14 03:05:31-04
Mari Saka has taken her Zen 3 handbag line from her bedroom to the hands of some of Hollywood's hottest stars.
"I started small," the designer explained. "I was doing everything in my third bedroom. Last year we finally moved into offices in Dania Beach."
The brand's booming popularity can be accredited to the mix of style, [...]
- Roxy Sammy Tote | Animal Friendly PVC Everyday Shoulder Bag - 2009-06-14 09:27:55-04
An everyday tote might not be the most fun bag to shop for, but it's probably the bag most women find themselves looking for the most often.
If you're looking for an animal- and wallet-friendly PVC bag, this Roxy Sammy Tote is an excellent basic for work, school or errands. It's big enough to carry a [...]
- Dolce & Gabbana Miss Easy Way Metallic Mini | Hyper-Bling Colorblocked Metallic Leather Handbag - 2009-06-14 15:19:51-04
Well, here's a little bling from fashion's favorite (suspected) tax evaders. Wait, let me take that back. This is actually a whole lotta bling for one little handbag.
But, oddly, it doesn't look particularly overdone. It isn't exactly my cup of tea, but it's a cute bag that I think will find a lot of followers. [...]
- Slouchy Santi Clutch | Colorful Beaded Silk Purse - 2009-06-14 21:35:19-04
As with all Santi clutches, this little beaded number stands out from a crowd. Thee is no overall theme in the Santi brand (unless you count individuality), but this slouchy clutch hits tribal and beaded trends right on their pretty little heads.
So what makes this bag worth buying? For me, I adore the uneven and [...]
- Treesje Geneva Clutch | Red Leather Handbag with Pleating - 2009-06-14 22:23:34-04
Nearly everything about this Geneva clutch practically screams Treesje to me. I probably could have guessed the label if I hadn't seen the name first.
Like other handbags from the brand, the Geneva is contemporary with a hint of rocker edge to it. The design is simple but with interesting details that make it anything but ordinary. That [...]
- Wildlife Gala Attendees Show Support with Animal-Inspired Judith Leiber Handbags - 2009-06-14 23:06:39-04
It was a wild evening at Central Park Zoo last week and not just because of the location's inhabitants. The Wildlife Conservation Society held their annual gala, and tons of guests showed up in support.
One of the many highlights of the evening was the impressive exhibition of animal-inspired Judith Leiber minaudiere handbags in the arms [...]
- John Fluevog Frontier Map Bag | Brown Leather Unisex Satchel - 2009-06-14 23:45:19-04
John Fluevog is known for his unique shoe designs and has gained a faithful following - and a chorus of critics - for his vision. Are his handbags just as controversial? I venture a no.
The new John Fluevog Frontier Map Bag, while featuring the famous Fluevog swirl is a pretty tame undertaking and looks like [...]
- Givenchy Mini Melancholia Purse | Black Grained Patent Leather Evening Clutch - 2009-06-15 02:05:35-04
From the Nightingale to the George V shopper, Givenchy has given fans of oversized purses something to smile about. While these handbags are convenient for day wear, when the sun sets most of us want to travel a little lighter. That's where the Mini Melancholia purse steps in.
Patent leather is always eye-catching, but often it [...]
- FEED 2 Kenya Bag Raises Money for African Women and Children's Charity - 2009-06-15 03:05:43-04
When you're onto a good thing, they say you should stick to it. Lauren Bush's FEED Bag has raised almost $3 million for the World Food Programme, so it's no surprise that she's launched another. The FEED 2 Kenya bag will raise funds to assist the African nation.
The reversible tote is made from traditional Masai [...]
- Gustto Vando City Baby Shoulder Bag | Colorblocked Leather Designer Purse - 2009-06-15 04:05:38-04
If you're hoping to get in on the colorblocked trend without spending a whole lot of cash, let me introduce you to the Vando City Baby bag from Gustto.
The style is eye-catching, but also a little overworked. A large round metal accent draws you in, but is also a little puzzling. Exactly what's it doing [...]
