Hi mary,

Check out the latest handbag fashion news and review at BagBunch.com:

1. Jessica Simpson Gin Lane Hobo | Patent Slouchy Lime Handbag - 2010-02-22 17:54:34-05
   Mm, what a gorgeous and unusual color! Despite the deceptively simple shape, it would seem that this Gin Lane hold-all from Jessica Simpson is anything but ordinary. So, let us start with the color. This rich patent tone is a meeting of lime and olive, crating a sumptuous and earthy shade that is bright at the [...]
   
2. Sienna Miller Donates Cartier Handbag to Haiti Relief Auction - 2010-02-22 19:54:42-05
   British actress Sienna Miller will donate a Cartier handbag to help raise money for Haiti relief efforts. Sienna carried the purse to the premiere of the action flick, G.I Joe: The Rise of the Cobra. The designer bag will be auctioned alongside some of director Ridley Scott's personal effects at the screening of Wyclef Jean's documentary [...]
   
3. Ellington Madison Working Tote | Classic Chic Leather Business Bag - 2010-02-23 01:05:31-05
   Ellington offers a stylish alternative to stuffy briefcases with the Madison Working Tote. From the outside, it appears like a traditional handbag. The buttery leather finish comes in a range of classic shades: black, brown, and red. Curved corners soften the boxy shape, adding modern style to the conventional design. The finish is largely unadorned. There's [...]
   
4. Emilie Sloan Stasha Carry-All | Casual Convertible Pretty PVC Shoulder Bag - 2010-02-23 03:05:19-05
   If the boxy shape of the Juliette Market Tote was a little too traditional for your taste, feast your eyes on this versatile Stasha carry-all from Emilie Sloan. This bag is available in the same art deco and floral prints, but its design is a lot more unusual. Initially, there's very little to separate it from [...]
   
5. Franchi Joan Clutch | Stylish Woven Structured Black Box Purse - 2010-02-23 05:05:32-05
   When we reviewed the Bottega Veneta Woven Box Clutch last year, my heart skipped a few beats. At least it did until I spied the price. Then it sank. At $1150, it was simply more than I could afford to spend on an after-five purse. But I think I've found a suitable alternative in the [...]
   
6. Miu Miu Studded Leather Tote | Soft Quilted Designer Bag - 2010-02-23 08:14:54-05
   Miu Miu have been getting more confident with the use of studs recently. Considering they are such an edgy and youth-friendly brand, however, it has taken a while for them to produce anything combining studs and attitude. This quilted bag is the best example I have seen, mainly because it is such an unusual twist on [...]
   
7. Marc Jacobs Hillsy Buffalo Shoulder Bag | Cute Purple Leather Handbag With Bow Detail - 2010-02-23 15:48:29-05
   Marc Jacobs has always been one of my favorite designers. I especially like the Marc by Marc Jacobs line because it brings high, but wearable, fashion to a wide audience at a decent price point. But, I have to be honest, this bag is really not doing it for me, and I am really disappointed [...]
   
8. Giuseppe Zanotti Convertible Clutch | Minimalist Simplistic Leather Purse - 2010-02-23 18:08:24-05
   It is unusual for Giuseppe Zanotti to produce something quite this unadorned - but I think it works. It may just be that I have seen so many over-the-top clutches and bags from this brand that I am relieved to see something clean and white. After all, the actual design isn't that remarkable - the only [...]
   
9. Disney and Dooney & Bourke Add New Handbags to Co-Branded Collection - 2010-02-23 21:21:07-05
   Disney and Dooney & Bourke will add new handbags to their co-branded accessories collection this week. There are two new bags featuring Disney's most famous mouse, Mickey, and a pink bag starring his long-time love Minnie. The latest Disney and Dooney & Bourke bags will be sold exclusively at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, from February [...]
   
10. Julianne Moore Goes Nude in Sexy New Bulgari Advertisement - 2010-02-23 22:41:03-05
    Bulgari sexes it up with a stripped-down Julianne Moore in its latest advertising campaign. This time last year the Italian fashion house presented a very demure looking, and conservatively dressed, Jessica Stam. But what a difference twelve months makes. This time around Julianne Moore has taken it all off to pose with the brand's accessories. Perhaps Julianne [...]
    
11. Frye Cindy Cross-Body Bag | Contemporary Black Leather Handbag - 2010-02-24 01:05:17-05
    Appearing like a dressed up messenger with a healthy dose of rock and roll attitude comes this Cindy Cross-Body Bag. I can't ever imagine the youngest Brady carrying such an edgy bag. Its dark leather calls to mind motorcycle gangs and heavy metal music, and its shiny silver hardware does nothing to soften it. The leather [...]
    
12. Limited Edition Exotic Luxury Minaudieres from Linda Masquefa - 2010-02-24 02:05:39-05
    Individuality means everything to Californian handbag designer Linda Masquefa. No more than five Linda Masquefa minaudieres of a single design are ever produced. "I wanted to go for exclusivity," the designer explained. "If a woman has my bag, she won't see it walking down the street." Each Linda Masquefa bag is handcrafted with exotic skins from Italy, [...]
    
13. Forzieri Knit Hobo Bag | Multicolored Handmade Italian Wool Handbag - 2010-02-24 03:05:51-05
    After drooling over so many of Forzieri's fashion forward accessories, I was shocked to find the label was also behind this woolen hobo. It looks like it should be keeping a kettle warm rather than adorning the arm of a bagista! Perhaps Forzieri aimed to create an authentically bohemian hobo. I can imagine a hippie knitting [...]
    
14. Laurel and Sunset Donatella Satchel | Versace Inspired Strappy Woven Bag - 2010-02-24 05:05:53-05
    Laurel and Sunset unashamedly takes its cues from Versace with this Donatella Satchel. It doesn't even try to pretend to be original here; this is virtually a carbon copy of the Venita Bow Satchel that Versace released last year. I have to be honest; I didn't like the Versace bag and I can't say I like [...]
    
15. Whiting & Davis Chain Chain Chain Clutch | Black and Silver Flap Purse - 2010-02-24 17:42:26-05
    Whiting & Davis are an enduring favorite of mine. They seem to constantly produce interesting handbags that look and feel great. The Chain Chain Chain clutch is no exception to this rule. First you have the soft and slouchy metal mesh body, which in this case is highlighted in a deep black metal. Then you have [...]
    
16. Fendi Releases Limited Edition Peekaboo Bags to Celebrate New Las Vegas Store - 2010-02-24 20:52:44-05
    Fendi has opened an impressive new store in Las Vegas. Inside the boutique at CityCenter you'll find a scaled down recreation of Rome's Trevi Fountain! But the replica landmark isn't the only attraction for luxury lovers. Fendi has released a handful of exclusive pieces to celebrate the opening. A limited edition Trevi Fountain Peekaboo  pays tribute [...]
    
17. Luba J Panda Hobo | Modern Leather Handbag with Vertical Zips - 2010-02-25 01:05:06-05
    I'm not quite sure what this Luba J hobo has in common with the cute Chinese critter which shares its name, but perhaps that matters not. Rather than puzzling over its unusual moniker, I think I'll just enjoy it! This is a very modern looking hobo. It's got a hint of the slouch we associate with [...]
    
18. DJ Erick Morillo Designs Laptop Bags and Luggage for Knomo - 2010-02-25 02:05:35-05
    DJ Erick Morillo, the man behind Reel 2 Reel's retro hit "I Like To Move It," is stepping away from the turntables to launch a new range of bags. The Colombian-American DJ and music producer has teamed up with Knomo for a range of laptop cases and luggage. "My laptop and equipment are essential to my [...]
    
19. Pink Studio Kiara Clutch | Affordable Embroidered Fabric Purse - 2010-02-25 03:05:29-05
    Pink Studio gives a modern twist to the vintage clutch purse with the Kiara. The simple rounded shape, delicate kiss-lock closure, and gleaming silver frame are pure vintage. It's from this classic base that Pink Studio begins to play. Rather than using traditional leather, Pink Studio opts for a more economical fabric finish. It doesn't look like [...]
    
20. Most Women Carry Expired Make-Up in Cosmetics Cases - 2010-02-25 04:05:33-05
    When was the last time you cleaned out your make-up bag? If you're like most women, this simple bit of housekeeping is long overdue. New studies show many women are risking skin and eye infections by carrying cosmetics that are, on average, four years out of date. So how long should we hang on to our [...]
    
21. Straw Studios Ingrid Knotted Tote | Woven Patterned Straw Purse - 2010-02-25 05:05:28-05
    Thought that once you'd seen one straw tote, you'd seen them all? Then feast your eyes on the Ingrid from Straw Studios. Rather than the tightly woven weaves we're used to, Straw Studios opts for a more intricate design here. The straw is knotted and woven together to create a delicate pattern. The Ingrid's vivid cotton [...]
    
22. Botkier Jaden Hobo | Edgy But Practical Ruched Black Leather Shoulder Bag - 2010-02-25 16:17:25-05
    As you might imagine, I see a lot of handbags. So many that I rarely get tempted to buy them. Well, at least the ones that I might be able to afford. But in the past year I have purchased two Botkier bags, and I am totally thrilled with both of them. The Jaden Hobo [...]
    
23. Hobo International Naomi Florence Shoulder Bag | Unusual Circular Leather Satchel - 2010-02-25 16:24:25-05
    Ooh, Hobo International has really pushed the boundaries with this uniquely shaped Naomi Florence satchel. I do love an unusual shape in a purse; I think it imbues it with a certain sense of spectacle. For a handbag to be very distinctive, yet at the same time quite retro and traditional, is very rare indeed, but [...]
    
24. Maison Martin Margiela Double Strap Satchel | Slouchy White Leather Oversized Handbag - 2010-02-26 01:05:34-05
    This Double Strap Satchel from Maison Martin Margiela is the kind of bag I fall for even though I know it's no good for me. It's so massive I'm bound to get lost in it. It'll dwarf my frame, and prove difficult to manage. There's only the cowl pocket up front and one zippered pocket inside [...]
    
25. World Food Programme Releases New FEED Bag for Haiti Relief - 2010-02-26 02:05:25-05
    The girls behind the World Food Programme FEED bag, one of the original charity bags, have stepped up to support Haiti relief efforts. Lauren Bush and Ellen Gustafson have recently released a new version of their popular tote called the FEED Haiti Bag. While many designers are vague about the impact of your purchase, the World [...]
    
26. Susan Farber Juliet Shoulder Bag | Small Ruffled Leather Handbag - 2010-02-26 03:05:34-05
    Feminine, fun, and flirty is just how I'd describe this Juliet bag from Susan Farber. Ruffles are right on trend, and this is one of the better examples I've seen lately. The use of luxury leather gives the frills a definite shape and structure. Susan Farber successfully offers femininity without going overboard. By using the frilly detail [...]
    
27. Sharon Osbourne Slams Louis Vuitton Foxtail Handbag Accents - 2010-02-26 04:05:12-05
    Staunch animal rights campaigner Sharon Osbourne has lashed out at Louis Vuitton's latest fondness for foxtails. The rock matriarch and television personality has urged her fans to boycott the bags bearing these accents in an impassioned Twitter plea. "Louis Vuitton foxtail handbag accessories make me sick," she tweeted. "Please do not purchase those! It's heinous." Her stance [...]
    
28. Miquelrius Divinas Palabras "Travel in Mind" Computer Bag | Unisex Khaki Laptop Handbag - 2010-02-26 05:05:56-05
    I was shocked to find this computer bag came from the ordinarily cute and colorful fashion label Miquelrius. I never expected the brand to create something so ... well ... drab! But I soon softened my attitude to this computer bag. As a proud girly girl, dark khaki will never be my color of choice. But [...]
    
29. J.Renee Brinda Clutch | Iridescent Oily Snakeskin Purse - 2010-02-26 08:42:08-05
    I have to admit - when I first saw this snakeskin clutch my educated response went something along the lines of "Ooooooooh, shiny!". OK, so it may not be the best critical evaluation of a handbag, but I have to say that this is the feature that really stands out with the J. Renee Brinda purse. [...]
    
30. Mad by Design Zebra Purse | Monochrome Plastic Evening Bag - 2010-02-26 18:27:42-05
    Ah, doesn't this purse remind you of the Bakelite handbags of yesteryear? OK, so the durability of design and workmanship may not be quite up to antique standards, what with the simple synthetic shape, but I do think this pays good homage to the vintage shapes and styles that so dominated the past. Those homages that [...]
    
31. Tianni Quilted Organizer | Affordable Practical Classic Convertible Shoulder Bag - 2010-02-27 01:05:56-05
    Tianni takes its cues from the classic looks of Chanel with this Quilted Organizer. While the French handbag brand seems to be the inspiration for the diamond quilted design, Tianni gives the style its own flavor with a striking double-stitch. I love the look, so I'm disappointed that we only see it on the front pocket. [...]
    
32. Bizz Bags Makes Customized Monogrammed Purses for Brides - 2010-02-27 02:05:59-05
    Bizz Bags has released a range of customizable wedding bags. The collection of day bags and formal clutches are all embellished with a personalized monogram. The marque could be the bride's initials, the couple's monogram, their wedding date, or another meaningful symbol. This design is blended into the bride's choice of designer fabric to resemble a [...]
    
33. Two's Company Nautikos Tote Bag | Natural Jute Sail Boat Print Eco-Friendly Handbag - 2010-02-27 03:05:27-05
    Nautical-themed bags are right on trend as we all look forward to the warmer weather ahead. Two's Company embraces the fashion with this Nautikos Tote. Rather than subtle nautical accents, the Nautikos is upfront with its blue and white color scheme and bold sailboat print. While I often prefer something less obvious than this, the pattern [...]
    
34. Analeena Adds New Accessories to Latest Luxury Handbag Collection - 2010-02-27 04:05:17-05
    Analeena will expand its range with its latest collection, which features accessories alongside its famous day bags and evening purses. The new range will include wallets, Blackberry cases, passport holders, laptop cases, wrist cuffs, mirrors, and belts. Each is made with Analeena's commitment to luxury and style. We can expect to see luxe python and crocodile [...]
    
35. Botkier Howard Street Clutch | Luxury Tasseled Leather Cross-Body - 2010-02-27 17:45:15-05
    We already know that Botkier like their tasseled handbags - so it shouldn't be a surprise that they have produced another one to be added to the portfolio. The Howard Street clutch is a funky combination of cowboy tassels, rock-chick zips, and a cool shape. Botkier are clearly aiming to create something edgy but fashionable, and [...]
    
36. Mary Frances Firefly Clutch | Unusual Colorful Ruched Chiffon Purse - 2010-02-28 01:05:06-05
    Love them or hate them; purses from Mary Frances are never boring! Just as we've come to expect from this designer, the Firefly clutch is sure to polarize opinion. But that's the only predictable thing about this colorful mess of chiffon! The soft rainbow tones work with leaf and flower accents to create a springtime garden. [...]
    
37. Twiggy Slams Use of Fur in London Fashion Week - 2010-02-28 02:05:57-05
    Sharon Osbourne isn't the only British star taking a stand against the use of fur in fashion. Twiggy has joined the chorus, slamming designers using real fur in London Fashion Week. The America's Next Top Model judge is also the face of PETA's latest ad campaign, which features the provocative slogan "If You Wouldn't Wear Your [...]
    
38. Calvin Klein Falling Water Tote | Folded Pleated Leather Handbag - 2010-02-28 12:29:33-05
    Well well well, Calvin Klein keep on producing designs that are as much about the unusual design as they are about the CK brand. The Falling Water tote isn't the first fluffy named purse to come out of this fashion house in recent months, but I am going to put myself out on a limb and [...]
    
39. Lovcat Leopard Print Wallet | Cute Vintage Inspired Purse With Bow - 2010-02-28 18:17:08-05
    I am only a fan of leopard print in certain situations - but I think this luxury wallet from Lovcat is one of the few to make it work. Rather than looking gaudy or tacky, the over-sized and arty print on this particular clutch actually looks quite classy. Perhaps the cute brown leather bow helps to [...]
    
40. Diane von Furstenberg Releases Colorful Beach Totes for Summer - 2010-02-28 23:50:21-05
    Diane von Fursternberg is getting ready for summer with a brand new range of beach totes. Her latest collection features nine colorfully themed totes, including a tropical garden, leopard print, Warhol-inspired daisy, and an explosion. At just $75 you won't expect them to be too luxurious, but no one wants to expose a high-end purse to [...]
    
41. Maison Martin Margiela Large Canvas Holdall | Chic And Minimal Pale Grey Canvas Shoulder Bag - 2010-03-01 00:18:06-05
    Maison Martin Margiela has a cult following like almost no other line. The designer's style is simultaneously cutting edge and totally classic. This bag is completely in keeping with their aesthetic and I predict that it will be a major seller. Truthfully, this is exactly the kind of bag that I love. Every detail is impeccable, [...]
    
42. Echo Tamworth Back Pack | Versatile Metallic Crinkle Convertible Sling Bag - 2010-03-01 01:56:31-05
    Echo takes the backpack out of the schoolyard and into the disco with the glitzy Tamworth bag. OK, it may look a little out of place on the dance floor, but the metallic crinkle fabric is definitely eye-catching! Honestly, this slouchy fabric is too loud for me no matter what the shade. But with three different [...]
    
43. Tintamar Bag & Co Drawstring Luggage Purses for Jetsetters - 2010-03-01 02:05:37-05
    Tintamar hopes to make packing for your summer vacation a little easier with its cute collection of drawstring bags. Each set of Bag & Co purses features five color-coded luggage organizers. Each differently sized pouch has a job to do. For example, the Bling & Co Bag takes care of jewelry, Drug & Co takes care [...]
    
44. M. Andonia Beverly Kiss Shoulder Bag | Cute Retro Floral Handbag with Crystals - 2010-03-01 03:05:13-05
    With spring just around the corner, flower printed purses are right on trend. M. Andonia gives florals a retro twist with the Beverly Kiss Shoulder Bag. The psychedelic styled flowers are sketched on an eggshell blue background. The black, white, and lemon hand-drawn look is a far cry from the vibrant blooms we often see, and [...]
    
45. Dunhill Releases Luxury Men's Luggage Collection for New Season - 2010-03-01 04:05:29-05
    London-based luxury label Dunhill is expanding into the world of men's luggage this season. Forget metrosexual murses; the heirloom travel bags from the spring/summer 2010 collection ooze masculinity. The Bladon Leather collection is crafted from vegetable tanned leather with a sophisticated natural grain. The treated cowhide gives each piece its own personality now, but its marks [...]
    
46. Abas Becca Cross-Body Bag | Stylish Python Print Italian Leather Handbag - 2010-03-01 05:05:14-05
    Cross-body bags tend to be casual accessories, the kind of things you sling over your shoulder when you've got a busy day ahead. They rarely look as beautiful as the Becca from Abas. Its looks are luxurious, but this purse isn't quite as opulent as it first appears. The Becca seems to be made of exotic [...]
    
47. Tiny Tortoise Vinyl Tote | Cute Child-Friendly Waterproof Bag - 2010-03-01 07:58:12-05
    If you have a kid who eats packed lunches, then this fun yet functional tote may be just the thing for them. I don't see why children's bags always have to be glittery, or kind of horrible - surely there must be a way to make something attractive at the same time as being durable? I [...]
