Rampage Modern Drawstring Bag | Large Snake Print Faux Leather Purse

Posted on: Dec 29

With its no fuss design and fool-proof style, the Rampage Modern Drawstring is for busy girls who want to grab and go.

At first glance this drawstring purse seems basic, but look closer and you’ll see it’s far from ordinary. The synthetic fabric exterior is embellished with a snake print; it’s just very subtle on the dark material. Exotic snobs may turn their nose up at the faux fabric but it’s a lot more durable for everyday use. It’s also more affordable, with these bags retailing for just $88!

The soft material falls in a slouchy bohemian style reminiscent of a hobo handbag. The feminine folds contrast with bold silver studs on the zipper pulls and near the base of the bag.

The Modern Drawstring keeps in line with the current trend for oversized handbags, offering enough space for your lunch, books, personal technology, wallet, a cardigan, and more. If the standard size isn’t enough for you, just unzip the side panels to expand it to its full potential.

If you’re a fan of pastel purses you’ll be disappointed with the Modern Drawstring. These handbags are daring and dramatic in black, violet, and charcoal gray.

Roger Vivier Doctor Frame Bag | Stunning Purple Python Frame Top Designer Handbag

Posted on: Dec 28

The House of Roger Vivier transforms their trademark pilgrim buckle on this sophisticated and luxurious doctor’s bag. And instead of becoming an overblown logo, it becomes a simple rectangular frame on the sides of the bag.

The Roger Vivier Doctor Frame Bag is both trendy and timeless. The deep purple shade is positively regal, and softens up the structured shape. And the frame top is not just beautiful, but also utilitarian, allowing you to see deeply into the bag. I love the way Vivier combines the classic ladylike doctor’s bag shape with the punchy color and python.

The silver hardware sets off the cool undertones of the purple, and adds an extra bit of shine. Still, I can’t quite figure out how I feel about the rectangular framing on the sides. On the one hand, I think it is a fabulous way to renew the classic Vivier trademark, but I can’t really decide whether it detracts from the decadence of the Doctor Frame Bag, or adds to it. In either case, it is an unusual touch on a traditional shape.

I love the vintage look of the oval ring closure at the top of the frame, and the way the dual braided leather handles replicate the texture of the python and add durability where you need it. This bag would be fabulous with an outfit of other slightly off-kilter classics. Hot pink Chanel tweed, anyone?

Rafe Irina Satchel | Wool Trimmed Leather Handbag

Posted on: Dec 28

Like it or loathe it, the Rafe Irina satchel is impossible to ignore!

It’s made of Italian shearling, with a shiny crackled finish to give the purse an aged vintage feel. Coordinated goatskin belts loop around the purse, serving no practical purpose but looking fabulous with their polished gold buckles. If the details stopped there, the Irina might have been a different purse. But this beautiful bag becomes very busy with the addition of fuzzy wool trim.

The zip top closure opens to reveal a handbag that is spacious, but still manageable. A zippered pocket and a couple of slip pouches make organization easy. There’s even a key loop to take care of your house and car keys.

Its original look mean the Irina won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but that’ll suit the girls that love it. They’re the fashionistas who don’t want to be spotted carrying the same bag as anyone else. So while more conservative tastes might steer clear, the luxury leathers and fun wool details make the Irina a daring yet practical statement satchel.

More Features of This Rafe Shearling Satchel

  • Logo-lined interior
  • Dual carrying handles with a 4.5 inch drop
  • A detachable shoulder strap
  • Measures 15.5 x 9 x 5 inches
  • Made in China

Linea Pelle Hayley Satchel | Espresso Brown Soft Leather Handbag

Posted on: Dec 28

Linea Pelle is one brand that has been creating some buzz with young Hollywood starlets. Fashionistas like Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson have jumped on the bandwagon and are surely helping to lead this company to new sales heights.

Though originally well-known for quality belts for men and women, Linea Pelle is quickly becoming better known for its stylish handbags that have been spotted all over L.A. With tactics like teaming up with reality star Lauren Conrad for the LC bag, this design company has shifted toward a new trend.

It’s easy to see the appeal of Linea Pelle when you take a good look. As with their reputation for belts, the leather and hardware used on their handbags are nothing less than the best. Yet with such high quality materials, the company still manages to create bags like the Hayley that fall into a mid-range price category.

This is great news for fashion lovers on a tight budget. The Hayley satchel doesn’t compromise quality, size, or style to ring in just under $600. Though this isn’t an ideal price tag for every woman, it’s right on target for a reasonably priced quality designer bag.

The soft espresso-colored leather has an appealing slouchiness to it without appearing sloppy. Yes, it’s a very large, but that’s no surprise for the handbag world these days. The Hayley is simple enough to pull off the look, and the dark, supple leather is all the more fabulous in greater quantity. This is one oversized satchel I can get on board with. The double handles seem comfortable enough for the shoulders, but the detachable strap is as convenient as always. The espresso brown is divine, but you can also get this Linea Pelle in bright metallic silver or gold.

More Features of the Hayley Satchel

  • Measures 18 x 12 x 3 inches
  • Double handles with 8 inch drop
  • Detachable, adjustable strap with 22 inch drop
  • Zebra-printed lining

Kenneth Cole Glaze of the Week Purse | Affordable Timeless Style Flap Shoulder Bag

Posted on: Dec 27

Price conscious purse lovers will fall for the no fuss charms of Kenneth Cole’s Glaze of the Week handbag.

The design is simple, with a rounded rectangular body and front flap closure. The glazed leather has a sexy sheen to it, and with nothing else to draw our eyes the fabric can take center stage. Black and white purses are always favorites, but with such a basic design they seem a little too predictable. I prefer the avocado green or this fun banana yellow to really liven things up.

The front flap is secured with a hidden magnetic closure. It opens to reveal the interior which is medium-sized for everyday use. It features a handy zippered pocket in the back wall and heavy duty fabric lining to resist everyday wear and tear.

This Kenneth Cole bag will never set the fashion world on fire, but its timeless design won’t go out of style any time soon. That makes the $110 retail price an even greater investment. That seems like a steal for a leather purse of this quality.

More Features of This Kenneth Cole Flap Style Shoulder Bag

  • A single shoulder strap with an 11 inch drop
  • Measures 8.5 x 10.5 x 3.5 inches

3.1 Phillip Lim Tally Tote | Pared Down and Sophisticated Navy and Tan Lambskin Tote

Posted on: Dec 27

Phillip Lim is known for producing minimalist objects with subtle and discrete charms, and the Tally tote certainly won’t disappoint his biggest fans. Although at 15″ x 18.5″, the bag is big enough to be used as an overnighter, its generous size doesn’t keep it from fitting right in with the rest of Lim’s sleek, pared-down desgns.

The bag is extremely convertible, with dual rolled leather handles large enough to wear over the shoulder, and an adjustable or removable shoulder strap, which could be slung across the body for days when you have packed it full. The flat, structured base gives a little shape to the roomy main compartment.

To be honest, the large size of the Tally works both for and against it. The size makes it large enough to be a fabulous bag for toting around more than the average amount of daily essentials and a great weekend bag for a super light packer. But, the size means that the bag is super slouchy, and not really able to stand up on its own, so to speak.

As with most of Lim’s designs, the prize is in the details. The subtle stitch pattern on the sides adds a luxurious touch, and the black hardware plaques on the handles are just shiny enough to attract the attention of eagle-eyed aficionados. But don’t worry; even if there’s no showy nameplate, the sleek quality and attention to detail shine through, making the Tally tote an extremely covetable accessory.

Prada Shows Off New Handbags and Fashion for 2009 Spring/Summer Advertising Campaign

Posted on: Dec 27

Prada has a new look for its spring/summer 2009 campaign. Colors are out, passed over for the sophisticated look of neutrals.

The Italian fashion houses handbags, shoes, and outfits are shown off by a collection of beautiful blond mannequins. Playing the role of the clothes horses we see Nimue Smit, Giedre Dukauskaite, Sigrid Agren, Toni Garrn, Katrin Thormann, Viktoriya Sasonkina, and Ymre Stiekema. How they ever found seven gorgeous girls who look so similar I’ll never know. Their dewy skin and polished chignon hairstyles certainly add refined glamour to this campaign.

Prada say the advertising campaign was inspired byancient stone bas-reliefs and a desire to return to basic emotional and physical dimensions in classical art and early culture.

That’s a lot to get your head around, and those ancient influences probably don’t matter to most of us anyway. Here on the precipice of 2009, it’s just a beautiful commercial to admire.

It was all captured by Prada’s favorite photographer, Steven Meisel.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Softy | Bright Red ‘City Bag’ Satchel

Posted on: Dec 27

Though the Marc by Marc Jacobs Softy collection comes in many different styles, the City Bag satchel is one of the best. The soft, textured leather is nothing new for Marc Jacobs, with popular bags like the Quinn, but this satchel breaks out of the Totally Turnlock category for a slightly more modern look.

The black leather option is great for keeping things basic, but the bright red is a great choice for spicing things up and sticking with the recent vibrant accessories trend. The saturated color looks great on the leather of this slim satchel.

The City Bag offers a decent amount of storage. The vertical shape of the handbag creates a deep interior compartment for holding several items. This Softy satchel also has a zippered exterior pocket as well as one interior pocket. The zippers on the top closure and exterior pocket are both detailed with a silver, coin-shaped ornament bearing the signature Marc Jacobs logo.

The outside pocket is placed on a large leather patch that adds to the contemporary style of the Softy City Bag. Long leather pieces with matching red stitching run vertically on the front of the bag and connect to the double handles. A longer attached shoulder strap provides some extra practicality. This stylish Marc by Marc Jacobs satchel is available for $388.

More Features of the Softy City Bag

  • Measures 14 x 13 x 3 inches
  • Long leather strap with 21 inch drop
  • Soft, textured leather
  • Silver-toned hardware

Linea Pelle Lola Shoulder Bag | Sleek And Roomy Lemon Yellow Leather Shoulder Bag

Posted on: Dec 26

If all the blacks and greys of winter are getting you down, the radiant limonetta yellow of the Linea Pelle Lola is surely the antidote. Seen on everyone from Hayden Panettiere to Katherine Heigl, the Lola is a light, bright, sure-fire crowd-pleaser.

The bright color and softly rounded shaping of the bag is reminiscent of some of the recent Marc Jacobs unveilings, but at a much more reasonable price point (less than $500). You won’t make a sacrifice for style or quality with Linea Pelle, either. The line is known for their exquisite craftsmanship, and the big, slouchy Lola is made of premium washed South American leather, and embellished with sold brass hardware.

I love the way the studded hardware sets off the golden undertones of the limonetta, and while I am not always a fan of large hardware, I think the trigger style closure on the Lola is beautifully designed and very well-placed. The braided strap reminds me of the strap on Fendi’s iconic Spy Bag, and looks lovely atop this slouchier, more bohemian alternative.

The flap and strap top closure is the perfect structured detail to balance out the roundness of the Lola, which might look a little sloppy without it. I also love the adjustable dual side pockets with magnetic closures. They add interest to the sides of the bag with a utilitarian flourish.

The Lola comes in a wide variety of colors, so if the yellow is a little too, well, yellow, for you, you can opt for a more neutral tone, but personally, I think it would add an amazing burst of color to your favorite little black dress or tight black jeans. Drawing from so many fashionable favorites, the Lola combines retro brights and quality craftmanship with the big bag trend of today in a totally wearable way.
