They say it’s not easy being green, but this cute Francesco Biasia hobo bag makes it look pretty effortless!

I love the mossy green shade of textured cowhide leather. It reminds me of spring, which is welcome as the weather cools! If this fresh shade isn’t for you, the Ruth is also available in basic black, a warm brown tone known as bronze, and many more colors.

No matter which hue you choose, you’ll love the way the buttery soft leather falls to give this hobo its characteristic slouch. Silver studs and white contrast stitching complete this contemporary look.

Long leather zipper pulls give the bag a flirty sense of fun while making it easy to access all those pockets. This hobo has more than most, with two zippered pockets on the front, and another secure compartment inside. Add two inner slip pockets, and you’ve got more storage space than you could ever need. Not that you’ll complain about it!

This hobo handbag has the stylish good looks and functionality to ensure you’ll want to carry it long after the boho-chic craze has passed.

Briefcases are brilliant for the workplace, but they tend to look a little stuffy out of the office. If you’re after a tote that’s perfect for the boardroom and that trip to the bar at the end of a long day, this Diane von Furstenburg bag might be just the thing.

It’s made from a no-nonsense poly-twill fabric available in sensible brown or black shades. But it’s not all business. The bold animal print stripe and sleek faux-lizard skin handles add a playful touch of pizzazz.

The boxy styling might be a little retro, but Diane von Furstenburg knows what modern businesswomen need. The roomy interior design includes a large padded section for your laptop and a spacious zippered security pocket. This clever feature divides the bag into several compartments, making organization easy.

This beautiful bag’s classic coloring and timeless style makes it an easy accessory to incorporate into any working woman’s wardrobe.

As creative director for Hermes, Jean Paul Gaultier produced one of the world’s most revered handbags: the Birkin. Now he’s applied his Midas touch to water bottles! Evian has teamed with the acclaimed French designer to produce two limited edition bottles. These beautiful creations are definitely not something to put in the trash once you’ve quenched your thirst!

The first is the Pret-a-Porter, a sleek creation embellished with interlocking snowflakes and oversized blue lettering. You can preorder one of these collectible bottles for $13.95 from the Evian online store.

$13.95 might seem exorbitant for a bottle of water, but it’s small change compared to what you’ll pay for the second bottle: the Haute Couture. As the name suggests, this is the crème de la crème of water bottles. Only seven of these exclusive bottles will be produced worldwide. Expect them to fetch a tidy sum when they’re auctioned next year.

But it’s not simply a money-making exercise. All funds raised from the sale of the designer bottles will benefit the RAMSAR organization, a group which looks to protect the Earth’s water resources.

This cute canvas carryall bag brings you all the style of Sex & The City’s Sarah Jessica Parker, without the dreaded designer price tag. It comes from SJP’s Bitten range, a luxury label which is so adorable and affordable!

The tough canvas exterior is patterned with a delicate contemporary floral print. I love the dreamy look of these turquoise flowers, but for something a little more feminine the same bag is also available with pink blooms.

The lush creamy canvas is trimmed with faux leather, but you’d never know it. The natural tan color makes it look so much like genuine cowhide!

The bag closes with a zipper and a fun buckle for added security, so you never have to worry about your essentials straying. There’s plenty of room for them too inside the generous interior. Two multifunction slip pockets and a roomy zippered compartment make organization easy. But the features don’t stop there. The front pocket is perfect for stashing the goodies you need on hand.

Two shoulder straps allow you to grab this bag and go. They’re adjustable too, allowing you to make sure they’re the perfect length for comfortable carrying.

• Antique brass finish hardware
• Rasberry pink cotton lining
• Dual 18 inch shoulder straps with an 8 inch drop

Now this is a bag you can buy and not feel like you are being taken for a ride. This Marc Jacobs leather tote is the perfect shopping bag for running weekend errand and carrying around the mall.

The striking deep blue color will definitely turn heads and the sweet, inverted pleat detail on the front is all the dressing up this simple design needs.

It’s a large bag and not terribly deep (1 1/2 inches to be exact), but it can still get the job done.

Plus, the design isn’t so trendy that you’ll be kicking yourself in month for buying it. If you like simplicity, the Marc Jacobs Leather Tote will appeal to you. The price isn’t too bad either.

Maybe MJ is feeling pity or us or perhaps he’s trying to equal his success at Louis Vuitton by turning a profit in this stifling global economy as LV has managed to do.

Handbags meets Digital Media. Showing the bad ethics, hypocrisy and stupidity of the companies behind our TV Shows, our documentaries, our movies, and our music.

In day to day life it is hard to sometimes appreciate the restrictions put on us because they become camouflaged into our every day life and are just accepted as the norm. The media industry is trying to camouflage a lot of unethical restrictions to become the norm of how we consume video and music. This will result in us paying more money while slowing down the human race by reducing the flow of information and entertainment.

Applying the logic of the digital media industry to the handbag industry may seem like an unorthodox topic for BagBunch.com, but it sure does point out the hypocrisies and bad ethics of certain media companies and organisations. This is an area that is relatively well-known among tech geeks, but is often not recognized among a lot of the population – this article aims to bring to light some of those issues in the media industry.

What the media industry tries to do can get a bit confusing being a fracas of technical and legal jargon. So comparing how one complex industry works, with a more understandable and tangible industry like handbags helps to put things in perspective.

Some of the analogies below are not intended to be a 100% accurate contrast, but an informal and tongue-in-cheek way to point out the hypocrisy, stupidity and bad ethics of certain elements of the media industry.

Welcome the HIAA

The media industry sees the likes of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) serving the interests of big music and video companies to ultimately make them more money, putting ethics (and often law) aside.

The handbag industry could benefit from a similar organization, The Handbag Industry Association of America (HIAA).

Grandad might have preferred the classic black leather wallet for carrying his cash and cards, but why have bland in your hand when you can funk it up?

Credit card holders, wallets and cases are an everyday item you might find yourself stuck with for years (until that stressful day when you finally lose it). If it’s with you day in and day out you may as well get a wallet that is a little bit different and somewhat stylish. Pulling these wallets out at the bar is a sure conversation starter.

You’ll really turn heads carrying this striking limited edition Calvin Klein purse.

Leather strands are arranged in an amazing cross-hatched design on the bag’s exterior. It reminds me a little of the string art we all made as children, although the use of white leather makes it look a lot more elegant! The leather pieces are embellished with delicate silver studs which complete this eye-catching look.

This beautiful bag has a rounded shape reminiscent of a hobo, yet it lacks the slouch characteristic of these handbags. Its soft curves provide an interesting contrast to the angular leather design.

The cuff purse opens with a hidden magnetic snap closure, a clever choice which ensures you focus on the gorgeous exterior. Pop it open to reveal the cleverly organized interior. A large zippered pocket sits in the middle of the purse, dividing it into three separate compartments. With a leather credit card slot, a cell phone holder, and a large slip pocket keeping your essentials in order is a breeze.

Don’t let its dramatic exterior scare you off. The white leather and functional design make this striking Calvin Klein purse a lot more versatile than you’d think.
