New at BagBunch: Whiting & Davis Florentine Clutch | Brass Mesh Bag with Printed Leather Flap and Studs

Hi mary,

Check out the latest handbag fashion news and review at BagBunch.com:
  1. Whiting & Davis Florentine Clutch | Brass Mesh Bag with Printed Leather Flap and Studs - 2010-01-11 17:38:42-05
    Although I'm a huge fan of Whiting & Davis' vintage-inspired, shimmery handbags, this Florentine clutch is a little out of the ordinary from what I'd typically choose. For starters, the brand went outside of their signature solid or screenprinted brass mesh look, which they seem to be doing more and more these days, by adding a [...]
  2. Whiting & Davis Crystal Clutch | Metal Mesh Studded Purse - 2010-01-11 18:04:17-05
    There is nothing quite like a Whiting & Davis clutch - they are beautiful and elegant. This particular example channels an art deco eighties vibe, with funky studs and a streamlined shape. The clean and simple shape of this delicate clutch makes it perfectly suited for a classy night out, working well with deep black for a [...]
  3. Anja Rubik Showcases New Fendi Peek-A-Boo Bag in Spring/Summer 2010 Ad Campaign - 2010-01-11 23:25:59-05
    Though Anja Rubik might be the only model in this latest spring/summer 2010 advertising campaign for Fendi, she's not the only star of the show. In fact, despite the fact that this particular shot shows Rubik from the knees up, practically half of her is covered by the Fendi Peek-A-Boo satchel. Perhaps that's a bit of an [...]
  4. Magid Vertical Stripes Tote Bag | Affordable Black and White Striped Carryall Purse - 2010-01-12 01:05:51-05
    Pairing simplicity with style comes this Vertical Stripes Tote from Magid. The look is classic, with even black and white stripes running from the top to base. The shape too is traditional, the kind of boxy look we've seen so many times before; it's a little boring but it also never goes out of style. The striped [...]
  5. Opening Ceremony Releases Furry "Where The Wild Things Are" Bags - 2010-01-12 02:05:26-05
    Opening Ceremony loves to spread its creative wings, whether it's with other designers like Betsey Johnson or more unexpected artistic types. One such left of center decision is the brand's recent alliance with the film Where The Wild Things Are. Like most people of a certain vintage, I was thrilled by Spike Jonze's cinematic adaptation of [...]
  6. Marc by Marc Jacobs Nylon Q Mabel Tote | Large Black Slouchy Designer Handbag - 2010-01-12 03:05:59-05
    Marc Jacobs is one of those versatile designers who seems just as home on the red carpet as in the urban jungle. With the Nylon Mabel Q, the label is in relaxed mode. The silky nylon finish gives the tote a casual slouch around the signature name plate and handles. Honestly, it reminds me a little [...]
  7. Melie Bianco Gathered Satchel with Python Clutch | Structured Synthetic Purse and Extra Detachable Bag - 2010-01-12 15:33:40-05
    I've come across some unique handbags in my days, but this one might win the prize for a classic look paired with an odd design concept. Instead of obviously appealing to the whimsical or quirky fashion sense, I can't decide if this Melie Bianco satchel and clutch combo is taking itself seriously or not. However, I'm always up for [...]
  8. Valentine's Day Gift Idea | Burberry Heart Collection of Bags and Accessories - 2010-01-12 17:07:19-05
    It feels a tad ridiculous to be talking about Valentine's Day already since it seems that we've only barely passed Christmas. However, February rapidly approaches bringing with her the exciting (sometimes dreaded) V-day shopping trips. Well, if your wife, girlfriend, significant other, etc. happens to be a lover of designer handbags who enjoys a sweet, even cutesy printed tote, you needn't think twice about [...]
  9. Marni Ruched Suede Pochette | Cute Colorful Clutch Purse - 2010-01-13 01:05:21-05
    Add a splash of color to your winter wardrobe with this adorable clutch purse from Marni. The evenly ruched top creates subtle pleats throughout the pochette, giving this purse a more casual feel than many clutches. Of course, it still wouldn't look out of place with your favorite little black dress, but you could easily pair [...]
  10. Swiss Fashion Brand Akris Does Horse Hair Handbags - 2010-01-13 02:05:18-05
    Switzerland's largest clothes producer, Akris, has added handbags to its 2010 line-up. The expansion coincides with the brand's acquisition of Comtesse, a German firm specializing in the manufacture of materials made from woven horse hair. It's no surprise then to see Akris release this striking Ai bag, which is made from horsehair. I love the futuristic [...]
  11. Matt & Nat Davis Tote | Stylish Berry Red Vegan Suede Handbag - 2010-01-13 03:05:42-05
    What's this? Famous eco-friendly handbags like Matt & Nat releasing a suede tote bag? Say it isn't so! Well, it isn't. At least, not quite. While the Davis comes from the brand's Suede Collection, it's actually crafted from an eco-friendly suede alternative. With all the plush looks and feel of the genuine article, this fabric is [...]
  12. Prezzo Acrylic Photo Bag | Vintage Style Graphic Doctors Bag - 2010-01-13 08:39:05-05
    This docotrs bag from Prezzo is a basic purse with an interesting retro twist. The actual shape of this budget bag is simple and traditional, with a single handle and strong box shape. Even the metal frame clasp resembles the purses of a bygone era, and if this came in plain black then it wouldn't look [...]
  13. Big Buddha Sophia Shoulder Bag | Large Metallic Croc-Embossed PVC Handbag - 2010-01-13 17:55:26-05
    We look at quite a few Big Buddha handbags around here, but there's a good reason...or really a couple of them. There seem to be endless trendy styles offered by the brand, and the prices continue to be reasonably attainable for the average gal. Those are good enough reasons for me to consider the label's designs over and over again. [...]
  14. Meet Handbag Brand Nyla Noor | Two Sisters Create Eco-Friendly Designer Bags - 2010-01-13 19:24:33-05
    We've seen eco-fashion in many forms and on many levels. Tons of companies have provided shoppers with such options as woven raffia totes and purses made from various recycled materials like plastic bottles, candy wrappers, and billboards. While I'm all about clever uses of these types of resources, they aren't usually on the same design level as something like a [...]
  15. Maxam Solid Suede Leather Handbag | Bargain Basement Genuine Suede Shoulder Bag - 2010-01-14 01:05:29-05
    This Maxam suede bag is solid by name, and solid by nature. The purse is simply styled, with a traditional satchel shape and relaxed profile. The suede fabric slouches in all the right places, giving the purse its casual attitude. While it's got a nonchalant style, it's no fashion rebel. Basic black can appear edgy when [...]
  16. Sarah Jessica Parker Rumored As New Halston Consultant - 2010-01-14 02:05:27-05
    Back in September it was rumored that Sarah Jessica Parker would front Halston's next advertising campaign. But it seems the Sex and the City star may take an even bigger role at the recently revamped fashion house. The industry is buzzing with the rumor that SJP may land a consulting gig with Halston, perhaps as creative [...]
  17. Maxx New York Bleeker Tote | Contemporary Medium Top Handled Purse - 2010-01-14 03:05:00-05
    The funky styling of this Bleeker tote from Maxx New York really sets it apart from the crowd. At $125, it's not surprising to see that this purse isn't made from genuine leather. But that doesn't mean it's cheap and nasty. In fact, the Italian twill, coated for extra gloss, is both stylish and high quality. [...]
  18. Kathy van Zeeland Soap Star Tote | Stylish Slouchy Leather Purse - 2010-01-14 08:16:05-05
    The strange shape of this Soap Star tote is made refined by Kathy van Zeeland's great use of neutral soft leather. That shape was what drew me to this bag in the first place, like a moth to a strangely bright flame. It just struck me as a great combination of function and looks - the [...]
  19. J.Renee Cheer Clutch | Woven Raffia And Patent Purse - 2010-01-14 17:05:13-05
    This Cheer clutch from J. Renee uses the contrast between raffia and patent leather to produce something suprisingly similar to a Dior bag! I love the shape of this relatively affordable purse, simple and elegant. Square designs, especially fold-over ones, tend to have a shape that works well for years and years, traditional and great as [...]
  20. Diesel Date Shoulder Bag | Casual Coated Fabric Satchel - 2010-01-14 21:59:21-05
    Diesel continues to uphold their casual, slightly edgy reputation with this Date Satchel. Although the handbag is from their fall/winter collection, it somehow seems to fit better in the upcoming spring or summer seasons. Perhaps its the ultra casual coated cotton material that makes me think of wearing jeans and t-shirts accessorized with thin scarves rather [...]
  21. Jimmy Choo Gets Fluorescent for Spring/Summer 2010 Campaign with Angela Lindvall - 2010-01-15 00:55:20-05
    Either Jimmy Choo wanted to guarantee that their new ads catch your eye, or the label just decided to go in a completely opposite direction from their last fashion campaign. Whatever motivation (and I'm just guessing it's the former), illumination was definitely on the mind when choosing a theme and venue for the designer's spring/summer ad campaign. It's a complete contrast to [...]
  22. Melie Bianco Side Pyramid Studded Hobo | Trendy Hardware Detailed Synthetic Gray Purse - 2010-01-15 01:05:34-05
    If the Pyramid Satchel was a little bold for you, it's worth considering Melie Bianco's Side Pyramid Studded Hobo. The same pyramid shaped studs accent the purse, but they're much more subtle. Rather than cover the bottom of the bag as they do on the Pyramid Satchel, Melie Bianco keep the studs on the side here. [...]
  23. It's Official! Sarah Jessica Parker Gets Creative for Halston - 2010-01-15 02:05:43-05
    After rumors started to swirl yesterday, Halston has been quick to confirm the good news: Sarah Jessica Parker will partner up with the iconic fashion brand. The Sex and the City star will take on an active design role working on the Halston Heritage line. This is the brand's secondary collection, which features updated Halston pieces [...]
  24. Michael Kors Prescott Hobo Bag | Large Deep Red Ruched Leather Handbag - 2010-01-15 03:05:19-05
    Combining individual style and practicality, Michael Kors strikes the right note with its Prescott hobo. While the lush lambskin ensures this bag slouches as any traditional hobo should, the styling is far from classic. The difference comes from the four pockets positioned around the middle, which are cinched in with a drawstring to create a ruched [...]
  25. Stuart Weitzman Cluster Clutch | Decorative Floral Day Purse - 2010-01-15 07:37:03-05
    Stuart Weitzman breaks form his usual sophisticated purse to bring us something a little more unusual. Don't get me wrong, I am aware that florals seem to be available every season, in a million different styles, color combos and patterns. This Cluster clutch, however, uses a style of floral artistry that I haven't ever really seen on [...]
  26. Chinese Laundry Swinger Hobo | Large Faux Suede Bag with Fringe Detail - 2010-01-15 23:01:04-05
    The Swinger hobo from Chinese Laundry has a laid-back, bohemian vibe. It might not take you from day to night for most events, but it's a great choice for accessorizing casual daytime outfits before transitioning to informal date nights. It's not only the hobo handbag style that contributes to the quintessential boho-chic look. The twisted handle ends [...]
  27. Golden Globes Swag Includes Dooney & Bourke Satchel or Tumi Duffel - 2010-01-16 00:05:56-05
    Don't we all wish we could brush elbows with celebrities on the Golden Globes red carpet this Sunday evening? There's more than one reason to wish for an invitation to the event, though. In addition to catching a glimpse of your favorite stars, attendees of the awards show will receive some sweet swag. The gift bags, [...]
  28. Miquelrius Frame Evening Bag | Cat Walk Patterned Purse with Jordi Labanda Design - 2010-01-16 01:05:16-05
    Spanish designer Jordi Labanda puts her stamp on this playful little purse from Miquelrius. The sassy design features a sexy young brunette clad in a gorgeous gold evening dress. She's flanked by flowers and leopard stripes, patterns which seem to signify the dualistic nature of women. It's a little bit feminine, and a little bit wild. [...]
  29. Muratori Handbags Debuts Eco-Friendly Luxury Spring Collection - 2010-01-16 02:05:14-05
    Italian designer Julie Berard shows you don't have to sacrifice luxury to go green with her new eco-friendly range for Muratori Handbags. Of course, eco-friendly is a relative term. Many may scoff at the green label applied to these luxury leather goods. But there's no doubting her practices are much better than most fashion labels. The [...]
  30. Jessica McClintock Flowers Clutch | Feminine Purple Rose Purse - 2010-01-16 13:50:58-05
    Ooh, I don't half love a bit of purple. This jewel-like shade is always a high street favorite, and never fails to look elegant and regal. Jessica McClintock uses those elegant connotations to their very best effect with this sleek Flowers clutch. Soft and wavy satin roses always look great, and they also offer the opportunity [...]
  31. Harveys Ruffled Lola Wristlet | Feminine Eco-Friendly Seatbelt Purse - 2010-01-16 18:20:04-05
    Have you noticed how Harveys, creator of the innovative eco-friendly seatbelt purses, made from actual recycled seatbelts, have started making bags that are actually pretty? Putting the fun into something functional, Harveys have moved from plain and boring bags built on a green theme, through to producing pieces like this Lola clutch that are actually attractive. [...]
  32. Lauren Merkin and Tory Burch Among Others Supporting Haiti Relief Efforts - 2010-01-16 19:15:41-05
    The massive earthquake that struck Haiti only days ago, which has left what was already one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world in a devastating state, has triggered an outpouring of sympathy and reaction around the rest of the world. Not surprisingly, celebrities have been among the front runners of citizens donating to [...]
  33. Frye Clover Tab Satchel | Classic Leather Handbag with Antiqued Hardware - 2010-01-16 22:56:24-05
    Frye might be a company more well-known for their legendary boots worn by soldiers in past wars, but I'm definitely a fan of their equally impressive line of handbags. They might not have a historic reputation; however, the classic designs and attention to detail are superb. As with this Clover Tab satchel, the prices aren't likely to bowl you [...]
  34. Miu Miu Lurex Jeweled Shoulder Bag | Colorful Quilted Jacquard Purse with Crystal Strap - 2010-01-17 01:05:40-05
    Miu Miu is one of those design houses that rarely gets it wrong. But even a talented label such as Miu Miu can take a misstep. And that's just what it did with the Lurex Jeweled Shoulder Bag. This is a case of a bag that's quite simply overdone. I don't mind the colorful quilted jacquard [...]
  35. Women's Handbags Getting Lighter Thanks to New Technology - 2010-01-17 02:05:39-05
    Doctors have long warned us of the dangers of lugging about a heavy handbag. So it's good news that the trend seems to be shifting; our bags are actually getting lighter. And it seems that it's all thanks to technology. Gadget advancements mean that we're carrying less in our purses. Rather than stashing a laptop inside [...]
  36. Donald J. Pliner Banas Tote | Unique Slouchy Ruched Bag - 2010-01-17 17:19:14-05
    Donald J. Pliner's Banas tote is the very picture of casual cool. At first glance this slouchy tote is quite an eye catcher. Not because of any big and bold features, but because of the unique and unusual shape. The designer describes it as "contemporary", but I actually feel that the ruched structure is more similar [...]
  37. Whiting & Davis Floral Frame Purse | Delicate Ladylike Crystal Evening Bag - 2010-01-17 18:27:30-05
    Alice in Wonderland, Snow White - this is the perfect princess purse for reliving your favorite fairy tales. The red metal mesh is where the prettiness begins. Ruby red and elegant, the traditional slouchy coin-purse shape wouldn't look out of place next to a glass slipper or on a velvet pillow. The red apple shade in [...]
  38. La Regale Shirred T Gusset Clutch | Simple and Affordable Fabric Evening Bag - 2010-01-17 23:04:48-05
    Though it might not be the most unique or original handbag around, La Regale hit on two appealing points with this the Shirred T Gusset clutch: affordability and versatility. When budget is a main concern for bag shopping, a price tag of $20 is more than acceptable and quite pleasing to see on a pretty, little [...]
  39. Golden Globes Handbag Fashion | Roger Vivier and Other Designers Spotted on the Red Carpet - 2010-01-18 00:55:56-05
    Awards show red carpet events never fail to disappoint fashion lovers who are watching with their eyes peeled to spot their favorite labels. The celebrities love to strut their designer duds, which makes it all the more fun for those of us viewing at home. This year's Golden Globes arrivals were a bit rainy but nonetheless full [...]
  40. Moschino Cheap & Chic Baby Butterfly Shoulder Bag | Cute Arancione Orange Goat Leather Bow Shaped Handbag - 2010-01-18 01:05:51-05
    Combining whimsical design with practicality comes the Baby Butterfly bag from Moschino's Cheap and Chic line. A wraparound belt cinches this goat leather purse in the center, creating soft pleats which radiate out to the edges. Its moniker suggests this Moschino bag was modeled after a butterfly, but it actually reminds me of a bow tie. [...]
  41. Anna Selezneva and Sean O'Pry Star in Colorful Emporio Armani Sping/Summer 2010 Advertising Campaign - 2010-01-18 02:05:38-05
    Emporio Armani gives us color, and plenty of it, in its new spring/summer advertising campaign. Models Anna Selezneva and Sean O'Pry are bathed in saturated hues of red, white, and blue. The urban landscape appears to be melting like some Dali painting, an abstract look which really evokes the sultry heat of summer. While the backdrop suits [...]
  42. Mulberry Ava Clutch | Oversize Studded Black Suede Evening Purse - 2010-01-18 03:05:27-05
    Mulberry brings a little edge to after-five wear with the Ava clutch. The styling is simple enough, with a rectangular shape and basic flap closure. Black is another traditional choice, although the soft suede fabric makes this conservative color a little more special. But the real showstoppers are those gold-tone rivets. These metal accents make a refreshing [...]
  43. Laura Matthews Designs Patent Clutch | Unusual Scrumpled Purse with Lucite Panel - 2010-01-18 08:24:24-05
    As a vintage junky, I love Lucite. I have to admit, however, that this Laura Matthews Designs purse uses Lucite to produce a bag unlike any I have seen before! I think whilst the shape is relatively normal, it is the fabric that makes this stand out. It may be patent leather, but the deep gray [...]
