You’ll never be accused of being a shrinking violet when you’re carrying this bold Guess Samba purse!

This adorable handbag features a striking poppy flower print. The eye-catching reds, yellow, and pinks of this design look fabulous against the white backdrop. These vibrant flowers are rendered on a soft pleated fabric, giving the bag a rich, full appearance.

This beautiful bag is trimmed with white vinyl embellished with brown contrast stitching and shiny silver studs. I love the look of the beaded tassel hanging down the side of this purse, but if it’s a little fussy for you that’s okay. Simply unclip it for a sleeker look!

The front flap closure features a bold G-Logo charm, an accent which will leave no doubt that you’re carrying an original Guess handbag. Open it up to reveal a sexy satin lined interior. Three slip pockets are perfect for organization, giving you a handy place to stash your cell phone, MP3 player, and PDA. There’s also a clever zippered pocket which is ideal for loose change and any other valuables you need to carry.

The smooth wooden handles add interest, while feeling luxurious in the palm of your hand. They make this bag a joy to carry!

Exotic handbags have evolved from a luxe fashion fad to an invaluable wardrobe staple. Now more and more women want to add these beautiful, luxurious and expensive bags to their fashionable collections. If a Nancy Gonzalez croc bag is completely out of your budget, as I suspect they are for most women, then embossed leathers will deliver the look if not the feel of the real deal.

The Foley & Corinna Embossed Snake City Clutch will certainly fool the untrained eye. This modern design is well-executed. From the clever knot-detailed top handles to the oversize (11 x 17 open and 6 x 17 folded) frame, the ‘City’ clutch provides just what an urban gal needs in a day to evening bag.

With front and back exterior zip pockets as well as two interior pockets, you’ll have all the storage space you could possibly need to carry you through the day. The Foley & Corinna City Clutch comes with a removable shoulder strap in case you don’t favor carrying large clutches as I don’t.

It’s available in midnight blue, chocolate and beige, but the midnight blue is the most tempting choice of the three.

Stylish moms never have to slum it carrying a dowdy diaper bag again, with more and more top designers creating stylish baby handbags. The latest to join in is Coach.

Coach’s signature scribble logo has the tendency to look immature on many of its purses. But this colorful script is childlike and fun, making it the perfect print for a diaper bag! This vibrant design is printed on durable cotton, which repels both water and stains. Orange juice and baby mush are no match for this bag!

The leather zipper pull makes it easy to access the generous interior. It’s equipped with a roomy zippered pocket plus three multifunction pockets. But the real prize is a massive slip pocket, measuring the entire width and height of the bag! Just think what you could fit in there! Two more side pockets are tailor-made for bottles, while a D-ring is handy for hanging your keys or other accessories.

But that’s not all. A roomy zippered pocket on the bag’s front and another large slip pocket on the handbag offer additional storage space. The exterior also has deep side pockets, which are perfect for stashing a spare bottle or two!

Webbed shoulder straps with leather hand grips are designed to be easy on your shoulder, no matter how much you’re carrying.

The Chanel Mobile Art pavilion has landed. Appearing more like a futuristic space ship than a homage to the acclaimed designer’s handbags, the traveling exhibition will open in New York’s Central Park on Monday.

The project is a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Chanel’s iconic 2.55 handbag. 18 modern artists, including Yoko Ono, Blue Noses, Sylvia Fleury, and Lee Bul, have contributed works inspired by this classic quilted purse.

The space-age pavilion is the work of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid. Her revolutionary spiral design was a deliberate attempt to create unity in a dream-like environment.

“You start where you begin, you begin where you end and move from one space to another. It sounds light, like you’re just going to float it around and land it somewhere, but it’s very complicated,” she explained.

The Chanel Mobile Art pavilion will be in Central Park until November 9. Tickets are free, although all presale tickets are sold out. But don’t despair! Limited tickets will be sold daily from the on-site box office.

Three teens  got more than they bargained for when they stole the handbag of British grandmother Janet Lane. The 68-year-old used to be a champion athlete, and she wasn’t going to let them get away!

Janet gave chase when the youths stole her purse, which contained 100 pounds in cash, her cell phone, an umbrella, a first-aid kit, and a gift for a friend. The 100 meter sprint across a Devon park was easy for the former schoolgirl cross-country champ, even though she was wearing sandals!

The plucky pensioner managed to grab one of the boys by the collar. Visibly shaken, he dropped her bag and begged to be let go.

“Those boys saw a little old lady and thought I was easy pickings, but there was no way I was going to sit there and let them get away with it. I was so angry when they took it. I had been to collect my pension and I had water rates to pay with that money,” Ms Lane told Times Online.

“My first reaction was, ‘They are not having my bag’. I used to be a very good runner when I was younger so I just got up and ran after them.”

It sounds like those lads picked the wrong old lady to mess with!
