- DKNY Quilted Leather Tote | Affordable And Versatile Black Quilted Leather Carryall - 2010-07-26 17:04:10-04
I have been a little disappointed with DKNY's accessories line, lately. The bags have been, for the most part, overdesigned and not terribly reasonably priced. But this quilted leather tote is a lot more simple than their recent pieces, and I really like its quiet chic. The black leather is quilted into a minimal triangular pattern [...]
- Big Buddha Bea Bag | Affordable Mini Quilted Nylon Shoulder Purse - 2010-07-26 23:01:26-04
If you're looking for an affordable alternative to Chanel's classic quilted flap purses, feast your eyes on the Bea bag from Big Buddha. Of course, for $80 you'll never find the same level of luxury that Chanel offers. But the looks of this quilted nylon alternative definitely take their cues from the iconic French bags. Tiny rhinestones [...]
- Furla Releases Fairy Tale Inspired Leimotiv for Furla Talent Hub Handbags for Fashion's Night Out - 2010-07-26 23:21:31-04
Our favorite handbag brands are reminding us to save our pennies for Fashion's Night Out with the announcement of some special purse launches. The first cab off the rank is Furla, who will release its new Leitmotiv for Furla Talent Hub range on September 10. The bags feature magical fairy-tale like scenes with imposing castles, wide [...]
- Whiting & Davis Patchwork Clutch | Metal Mesh Patch Look Multicolored Purse - 2010-07-26 23:50:36-04
Whiting & Davis reinvents patchwork with this striking clutch purse. Traditional patchwork accessories feature colored swatches of material sewn together, but not this one. Instead Whiting & Davis uses its signature metal mesh to create the illusion of patchwork. The multi-colored mesh appears much more modern than a traditional patchwork purse; in fact its shiny surface [...]
- Lux de Ville Sin City Satchel Bag | Retro Black Patent Vinyl Quilted Kisslock Purse - 2010-07-27 02:05:36-04
Lux de Ville serves up a healthy dose of retro style with its Sin City shoulder bag. It's not quite as naughty as its name suggests, but there's definitely a rebellious spirit about the bag's shiny black finish. It's not genuine patent leather, but this glossy vinyl does a pretty passable imitation. Looking at the $66 [...]
- Cole Haan Releases Limited Edition Maria Sharapova Billboard Tote Bag - 2010-07-27 03:05:39-04
Cole Haan has released a limited edition billboard tote to celebrate its sometime design collaborator and former tennis ace Maria Sharapova. Just 101 of the bags were created from the billboards advertising Maria's Cole Haan handbags. It's a great example of designer recycling, but I'm not so compelled by the execution. I like that the reclaimed [...]
- Freebird by The SAK Idolized Tribe Saddle Bag | Cognac Brown Leather Beaded Boho Cross-Body Handbag - 2010-07-27 04:05:33-04
The SAK goes tribal with this Idolized Tribe saddle bag from its Freebird line. I'm not sure any of America's original inhabitants would have carried a bag quiet this stylish, but its unique bead and O-ring detail, rainbow hued dream catcher and wooden bird mandala seem influenced by their native tribes. The effect is lost a [...]
- Ivanka Trump Prepares to Launch Celebrity Handbag Collection - 2010-07-27 05:05:47-04
Ivanka Trump is the latest star to join the ranks of celebrity handbag designers. The daughter of billionaire Donald Trump and actress Ivana will release a range of purses next March. "Just concluded a meeting with my handbag partners," Ivanka wrote on her Twitter page on Monday. "The bags look amazing!!!" She later assured her followers that [...]
- Ed Hardy Maria Satchel | Multicolored East/West Style Tattoo Handbag - 2010-07-27 06:05:32-04
I always thought that Ed Hardy bags were a bit busy for my tastes, but I've never seen one with as much going on as this Maria satchel. This is the kind of purse that's destined to divide opinion. Some girls may find the colorful design cluttered, while others will warm to its originality. Most Ed [...]
- Giuseppe Zanotti Metallic Purse | Silver and Black Leopard Print Clutch - 2010-07-27 08:41:33-04
This Giuseppe Zanotti metallic clutch is the perfect way for someone who isn't all that confident about animal print to work an exotic pattern into her outfit. It is the unusual silver and black color choice that make this a more accessible leopard print than many of the more garish options on the market. They are a [...]
- Lily Waters Isla Tote | Retro Quilted Floral Purse - 2010-07-27 09:00:47-04
For many people the idea of a quilted floral tote is simply too chintzy and quaint to bear. However, I think totes like this Isla edition by Lily Waters could actually look stunning if worn in the right way. How should you wear this? Well, the floral pattern lends itself nicely to the festival season, and [...]
- Alexander McQueen Snakeskin Skull Clutch | Rocker Chic Water Snake Clutch With Skull Clasp - 2010-07-27 13:49:57-04
Alexander McQueen was the undisputed badboy king of fashion during his lifetime, and even now the line's designs retain his sophisticated DIY aesthetic. McQueen's line of skull clutches are legendary, but they each have their own quirks and particularities that make them unique. This snakeskin clutch uses the extraordinary patten of the water snake in a [...]
- Mulberry Bayswater Leopard-Print Bag | Iconic And Classy Leopard-Printed Calf Hair Handbag - 2010-07-27 16:00:12-04
Mulberry's iconic Bayswater bag is kind of the poor woman's Birkin. It's classic and conservative, and about a quarter of the price of an Hermes bag. This leopard print version is classy, chic, and a little bit glamorous. The leopard-printed calf hair is the most interesting thing about this bag, as far as I'm concerned. The [...]
- Stella McCartney Python-Print Tote Bag | Stylish Everyday Snakeskin Printed Nylon Carryall - 2010-07-27 20:00:41-04
Stella McCartney is known for making animal-friendly and environmentally-friendly fashions. Unfortunately, that doesn't always translate into stylish accessories, but her past season has been remarkably on-point. This fabulous python-print tote is a great example of eco-conscious design done well. The python print on this tote is remarkably natural looking. Nothing compares to the real thing, of [...]
- Laura Matthews Designs Patent Clutch | Classy Purse with Suede Lining - 2010-07-28 08:20:41-04
This may well be the classiest designer that I have seen from the creative design Laura Matthews. Patent leather always leans itself towards looking smart and work appropriate, especially when the shiny surface is smooth, sleek and uninterrupted by folds and wrinkles. The wallet like fold over design of this purse is consequently beautiful, and will [...]
- Robert Clergerie Cimeones Tote | Simple Yet Timeless Leather Bag - 2010-07-28 08:36:31-04
Are you looking for a general everyday bag that will last you for life? If so then this Robert Clergerie tote is one of the classiest options on the market. Of course, a truly timeless design will always set you back a fair few bob. In this case this elegant and extraordinarily simple bag will cost [...]
- Kathy Van Zeeland Vogue Bar Shopper | Cork Brown Leatherette Handbag - 2010-07-28 20:46:34-04
Ordinarily I struggle to embrace Kathy Van Zeeland's designs, but when she tones things down a bit she's capable of creating some chic accessories. This Vogue Bar shopper may be just the thing to inject some style into your next visit to the mall. I love the soft gray-brown cork color of this shopping bag. For [...]
- Sit and Lean on Walkin'Bag's New Ballistic JetCart Travel Bag - 2010-07-28 21:17:27-04
The Ballistic JetCart sounds like a futuristic mode of transport, but it's actually a convenient travel bag designed to make life easier for frequent flyers. This lightweight rolling tote from Walkin'Bag is made for leaning on, and in the case of one model, even sitting on. Designer and Walkin'Bag CEO Etsuo Miyoshi created the innovative bag [...]
- Diesel Road 4 Freedom Motive Shoulder Bag | Casual Blue Fabric Everyday Bag - 2010-07-28 21:51:16-04
Diesel gives us an accessory made for the great outdoors in the Diesel Road 4 Freedom shoulder bag. This casual bag isn't the kind of purse you'd spot on the High Street, but there's a certain rugged charm to it. It's a bag that's made to do a job rather than prettily adorn your arm, so [...]
- Dandelion Releases New Eco-Friendly Organic Cotton Tote Bags - 2010-07-28 22:13:03-04
Dandelion has just released a brand new collection of fun and feminine eco-friendly tote bags. Each handbag is crafted entirely from organic cotton and colored with earth-friendly dyes. This eco-friendly material is luxuriously soft and machine washable to boot, so it's easy to keep the pale natural tone looking pristine. While the earth credentials may sucker green [...]
- Adidas adiColor Sir Bag | Retro Green Synthetic Sports Handbag - 2010-07-28 23:11:08-04
Adidas channels the seventies with this fun retro adiColor Sir handbag. The nostalgic side of me embraces the look of the bold green patent material and contrasting white accents and piping. It's also available in a more traditional black and white combo, but I prefer this more unexpected look. Neither is genuine leather, but for a [...]
- Vera Bradley Super Tote | Large Quilted Blue Floral Fabric Handbag - 2010-07-29 02:05:02-04
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Vera Bradley's Super Tote! All jokes aside, this is one mighty tote. It's super sized and super well appointed, with interior and exterior pockets to spare. That's a good thing too, because such a roomy handbag takes a lot of effort to keep organized. This Super [...]
- Mulberry Alexa Leather Satchel | Classic Brown Buffalo Leather Satchel With Braided Handle - 2010-07-29 02:34:09-04
Mulberry's classic pieces make them a favorite among fashionistas with traditional taste and any one with an eye for minimal, high quality design. There's nothing blingy or flashy about Mulberry, but they make solid staples that will last for generations. The Alexa is a great example of Mulberry's conservative and practical design sensibility. The oak buffalo [...]
- Balenciaga Releases Limited Edition Motorcycle Bags | Buy First at Barneys New York - 2010-07-29 03:05:22-04
Balenciaga has released its limited edition Motorcycle bag to honor the 10th anniversary of the iconic design. We saw the label release six new bags through Neiman Marcus in May, and now there's a new "First" bag available through Barneys New York. This beautiful bag is crafted from lizard-inspired black stamped leather. It features signature Balenciaga [...]
- The SAK Artist Circle Weekender | Boho Patterned Recycled Casual Travel Bag - 2010-07-29 04:05:32-04
The SAK embraces boho style with this fun Artist Circle Weekender. While most weekender bags would look at home in a hotel suite, this one seems to call for a camping site. Its three patterns all scream hippie chic with their tribal markings and peace doves. The prints are very busy, but when paired with the [...]
- F&W Style Creates Affordable Luxury Leather Handbags Inspired by Nature - 2010-07-29 05:05:45-04
At barely a year old, F&W Style is already making its mark on the handbag world with its philosophy that luxury doesn't have to cost the earth. The label doesn't skimp on materials; each F&W Style handbag is crafted from high quality Italian leather. But the bags in the current collections all cost less than $300, [...]
- Etienne Aigner Vintage Cut Out Handle Purse | Stylish Sophisticated Signature Brown Leather Bag - 2010-07-29 06:05:50-04
We can always rely on Etienne Aigner for classic handbags, but its traditional sensibilities can get a little boring. So I was thrilled to come across this Vintage Cut Out Handle Purse, an accessory which adds a little spice to the brand's time-honored appeal. The head-turning style comes from the large cut-out handle and the delicate [...]
- Badgley Mischka Eve Hobo | Luxury Ring Handle Tote - 2010-07-29 07:54:26-04
The Badgley Mischka Eve tote is a creatively shaped handbag perfect for those who want a little luxury in their lives. I do like a good design feature in a handbag - it makes it stand out from the crowd, and into more of a conversation point. In this particular hobo the design feature is that [...]
- Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal Bow Clutch | Decadent Jeweled Evening Bag - 2010-07-29 08:15:55-04
Are you looking for something over-the-top and decadent? In that case, let me introduce you to his highness, Giuseppe Zanotti, and his crystal bow clutch. The actual bag behind the bows here is kind of simple. A soft slouchy suede covers an envelope style design, which although clearly made from luxury materials could be deemed a [...]
- Sara Berman Decca Midi Studded Shoulder Bag | Studded Slouchy Grey Leather Hobo - 2010-07-29 21:23:40-04
Sara Berman started her eponymous line in 1998 as a summer project. Well, this summer project has, in the past decade, turned into quite a little fashion business. Although she has only been designing handbags since 2008, the line's offerings are timely and on-trend. This Decca studded bag, for example, combines a very of-the-moment color, grey, [...]
- Maison Martin Margiela Ruched Metallic-Leather Clutch Bag | Gorgeous Minimal Silver Metallic Leather Evening Bag - 2010-07-29 23:00:39-04
Martin Margiela has been accused of being sort of a designer's designer. In other words, sometimes his designs are only appealing to people heavy into fashion. Personally, I disagree with this assessment, and find his minimal, edgy aesthetic very attractive, but in any case, this rushed metallic clutch is definitely a crossover item with broader [...]
- Anya Hindmarch Maeve Leather Shoulder Bag | Slim, Sleek Black Leather Shoulder Bag With Tassel Detail - 2010-07-30 01:00:07-04
After months of being disappointed by Anya Hindmarch's cutesy canvas totes, I am starting to get really excited about her accessories again. The Maeve is a minimal, feminine shoulder bag that manages to be both fashion-forward and restrained at the same time. The black leather has Hindmarch's trademark bow embossed on it, which gives it an [...]
- DKNY Studded Leather Shoulder Bag | Trendy Brown Leather Shoulder Bag With Gold Stud Detail - 2010-07-30 01:30:32-04
DKNY's designs this season have been extremely inconsistent. Some of their bags have been elegant and affordable, but others have been overstylized and hyper trendy. I'm afraid this studded leather shoulder bag falls into the latter category. The brown leather material of this bag may be of good quality, but it's really hard to tell after [...]
- LeSportsac Claire Wallet | Small Patterned Polyester Organizational Floral Purse - 2010-07-30 02:05:36-04
LeSportsac has been making durable, practical accessories for years, but often its playful patterns turn off discerning fashion fans. On a small scale like this tiny Claire wallet though, I think you can get away with having a bit more fun. A large tote in this same retro Daisy Do print would seem juvenile, but on [...]
- Cartoons Rule in New Stella McCartney Fall/Winter Advertising Campaign - 2010-07-30 03:05:24-04
Stella McCartney has fun with fashion in her latest advertising campaign. The ads for fall/winter star Stella's regular muse, the gorgeous Russian model Natalia Vodianova. I'm sure we're supposed to be looking at Vodianova, her gorgeous tailored gray winter coat, or even the matching gray handbag. But those drab blue-gray tones just aren't as exciting as [...]
- Vera Bradley Flapper Wristlet | Affordable Asymmetrical Coral Flap Purse - 2010-07-30 04:05:45-04
I've never really warmed to the homespun designs from Vera Bradley, but this unique purse has caught my eye. Gone are the traditional quilted designs, replaced instead with a purse that's delightfully modern. Vera Bradley doesn't abandon her regular design sensibilities altogether. The brightly patterned fabric body is one of the designer's trademarks, but it's used [...]
- Bottega Veneta Releases Green Limited Edition Woven Bag for World Expo - 2010-07-30 05:05:29-04
Prada isn't the only fashion house celebrating World Expo 2010. Bottega Veneta is also getting in on the act by presenting a concert during the event, and releasing a limited edition handbag. Bottega Veneta will help to bring a show by Academy Award winning Chinese composer and conductor Tan Dun to the Shanghai Expo on August [...]
- Dan W Rocker Roll Barrel Bag | Studded Patent Navy Synthetic Handbag - 2010-07-30 06:05:47-04
Dan W attempts to channel the bravado of Mick Jagger and Jim Morrison with this stud covered Rocker Roll bag. All the usual suspects are there. Metal studs of every shape and size seemingly dot ever spare inch of the polished patent like material. It's not real patent leather, but at $58 we probably wouldn't expect [...]
- L.A.M.B. Haughton Graphic Clutch | Edgy Tie-dye Trimmed Purse - 2010-07-30 07:56:15-04
I am all about edgy tie-dye style creations at the moment, which probably goes some lengths to explaining why I really really love this L.A.M.B clutch. Of course, there is no reason why I shouldn't love this clutch. The graphic print may be a little too "urban" for some, but I doubt there are many people [...]
- Aldo Buratti Oversized Tote | Classic Yet Affordable Handbag - 2010-07-30 08:24:55-04
I doubt anyone would disagree with me if I wrote that this tote was a simple and classic example of a spacious bag. However, I might get a few disbelieving raised eyebrows were I to mention that this bag costs just $29.98! And yet, it is true. This bag costs less that I can spend on [...]
- London Fog Audrey Tote | Classic Patent Synthetic Pocketed Handbag - 2010-07-31 02:05:14-04
London Fog gives us the patent shine of a new pair of Mary Janes, along with all the polished poise, with this Audrey Tote bag. That lovely sheen doesn't come from real patent leather though, and it probably should for the $150 price tag. But what London Fog misses out on in quality it makes up [...]
- Study Says Less Logos Mean Big Bucks for Handbag Designers - 2010-07-31 04:05:17-04
Many bagistas are willing to pay the big bucks for Louis Vuitton's signature brown and tan print, or the large interlocking Cs of a Chanel purse. But new research reported in the Journal of Marketing says that discerning luxury lovers are happy to pay even more to leave those ostentatious logos behind. The reasoning behind it [...]
- Sonia by Sonia Rykiel Boston Bag | Leopard Print Faux Fur Handbag - 2010-07-31 04:05:56-04
Sonia Rykiel dresses up the usually conservative Boston bag style with this purse from her Sonia by Sonia Rykiel diffusion line. Animal lovers need not be incensed by this accessory; while its leopard printed body feels sumptuously soft, it's actually made of a faux fur. The imitation fur probably won't fool anyone, but it doesn't look [...]
- Sara Berman Molly Pearl Clutch | Black Snakeskin and Mother of Pearl Evening Purse - 2010-08-01 02:05:31-04
Contemporary style meets classic good looks with this Molly Pearl clutch from Sara Berman. This elegant evening purse pairs lush black snakeskin with a dazzling band of mother of pearl. The natural faceted tones of the pearl are a delicious contrast to the dark reptilian scales. I could probably have done without the large bauble clasp [...]
- Bebe Releases The Abigail Handbag Designed by Cancer Patient Teen - 2010-08-01 03:05:30-04
Bebe has unlisted an unlikely designer for its latest handbag: a teenager suffering from a brain tumor from Kentucky. 14-year-old Abigail Gebauer designed The Abigail handbag after making an appeal to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Abbie worked with Bebe designers to create the purple quilted purse which bears her name. The fashion house has created 600 of [...]
- Savanna Satin Beaded Clutch | Affordable Unique Champagne Evening Purse - 2010-08-01 04:05:42-04
Savanna shows us that individual style doesn't have to cost a fortune with this unique Satin Beaded Clutch. Rather than use a traditional box or oval shape, Savanna has instead opted for a half-moon shaped design. Honestly it reminds me a little bit of a taco, but the soft champagne satin helps to quash any food [...]
- R.E.Load Baggage Releases Delicious Food Inspired Tasty Treats Handbags - 2010-08-01 05:05:59-04
Philadelphia based messenger bag brand R.E.Load Baggage has recently released a yummy new collection known as Tasty Treats. Each quirky messenger is emblazoned with a different guilty food pleasure: a pretzel, a burger, and this bold pizza design. It's enough to get your mouth watering! The Tasty Treats collection was inspired by designer Brieann Tracey's love of [...]
- 7 Chi Jen Mini Shoulder Bag | Small Modern Asymmetrical Seam Detail Handbag - 2010-08-02 02:05:18-04
After the bold design of its Boston Tie-Dyed satchel, the classic colors of 7 Chi's Jen Mini Shoulder Bag took me by surprise. But look a little harder and it's easy to spot the brand's typical modern style. While its silhouette looks traditionally boxy from a distance, the Jen is all about the angles. The luxury [...]
- Leah & Bliss Create Hermes Birkin Inspired Glamazon Handbag | It Bag Copycat or Inspired Interpretation? - 2010-08-02 03:05:02-04
It looks like the New York socialities behind fledgling fashion label Leah & Bliss have taken a Bedazzler to a Hermes Birkin bag to create their new Glamazon purse. But the designers insist that the accessory is no mere imitator. Instead they claim that the bag is not intended to be a replica Birkin, explaining that [...]
- Balmain Night Punk Studded Suede Clutch | Luxury Black Rock and Roll Purse with Metal Hardware - 2010-08-02 04:05:43-04
Just when all the studded purses were beginning to look the same, Balmain released this Night Punk clutch to shake things up. A smattering of studs in bronze, pewter, and silver tones add edge to this purse's plush black suede body. The hardware creates an abstract design that easily combines rock and roll attitude with High [...]
- Carro Makes Handbags and Backpacks from Reclaimed Men's Suits | Argentinean Designs Recycle Thrift Store Clothes for Unique Purses - 2010-08-02 05:05:06-04
When we saw quirky Korean designer Eco Party Mearry release its recycled suit tote earlier this year, I thought it was an anomaly. But after discovering the purses from Argentinean fashion house Carro, I'm beginning to sense a trend. Just like Eco Party Mearry, Carro makes unusual accessories from reclaimed men's suits. The difference here [...]
- Lux de Ville Starlight Sparkle Shoulder Bag | Glittery Red Vinyl Kisslock Handbag - 2010-08-02 06:05:55-04
Lux de Ville delivers a handbag that lives up to its name with the Starlight Sparkle. In fact, this shoulder bag probably sparkles more than most of us would expect. The glittery, glossy red vinyl body is certainly bold; the kind of finish you'll either love or loathe. As if it needed more glitz, Lux de [...]
- Halsea Kona Koi Envelope Clutch | Cute 1960s Inspired Printed Purse - 2010-08-02 07:59:14-04
If you like Pucci inspired prints but don't want to pay the astonishing prices that go with them, then this cute Halsea envelope clutch is just for you. The print is definitely 1960s inspired, with a graphic fish scale pattern than explains the "Kona Koi" name choice. Just close you eyes and you can imagine this [...]
- Bodhi Square Pocket Tote | Unusual Geometic Handbag with Contrasting Trim - 2010-08-02 08:25:07-04
Bodhi are well know for their love of yellow, and their production of strange yet attractive handbags. This chunky square tote is yet another funky example. I actually love this bag. There, I said it. Despite the fact that it is a mishmash of a bold Greek key pattern, spacious exterior pockets, and bright yellow trim, there [...]
