Neide Ambrosio Bossa Nova Handbag | Retro Denim Shoulder Bag Accented with Soda Pop Tops

Posted on: Sep 22

Brazilian designer Neide Ambrosio has an amazing gift for turning trash into treasure. She does it again with this fun and functional Boss Nova bag.

We all know denim goes with everything, even soda pop-tops! The purse’s dark blue fabric is the perfect backdrop for these colorful metal accents. Who would have thought they’d have become landfill if they didn’t grace this groovy handbag?

The pop tops are crocheted together to create a flower accent, and sewn across a leather patch to replicate the Brazilian flag. More pop tops are scattered across the bag’s exterior and shoulder strap for a fun look.

It may be made from recycled goods, but that doesn’t mean the designer has skimped on quality. The interior is luxuriously lined and equipped with a handy zippered pocket. A zip top closure helps keep all your goodies safe and secure.

For a playful look that’s guaranteed to turn heads, this adorable Bossa Nova shoulder bag can’t be beat.

Posted on: Sep 21

Handbag.com recently headed behind the scenes at London Fashion Week. This video brings you the action from the Topshop Unique Spring/Summer 2009 show. Not content with just sitting in the front row, they’ve also taken their cameras backstage for some exclusive interviews with some of fashion’s biggest movers and shakers.

In the video are a number of big fashion names including British model of the moment Alexa Chung and Kiwi songstress Ladyhawke. They also talk to the stylists, make-up artists, and others operating behind-the-scenes to make the fashion show a success.

Model and stylist, Valentine Fillol-Cordier, shows off her two designer bags, a sac Persian bag and a light green “vilagerie” bag (at least that’s what I think she called them – correct me if I’m wrong).

Bitten Winter 2008 Freak Bag | Sarah Jessica Parker Designer Denim Blue Mini Purse

Posted on: Sep 21

Sarah Jessica Parker is a Hollywood style icon with a difference. She may carry luxurious Prada and Louis Vuitton creation as Carrie in Sex & The City, but when she founded her own clothing label these high fashion designers with their inflated price tags were the furthest thing from her mind.

The Bitten philosophy is simple: timelessly stylish pieces at prices all women can afford. And who wouldn’t want to carry this fun Freak bag from her Winter 2008 collection?

It’s made from a soft leather-like material which feels just as luxurious as the real thing without harming the planet! They’re available in so many shades, but I’m sold on this denim blue one. Can you imagine how cute it’d look paired with your favorite jeans? Playful plaited tassels and oversized silver hardware give this casual bag a flirty feel.

Two pockets on the front and another two on the side make the most of the Freak’s small stature, providing handy storage room for whatever you need on hand. Inside there’s also a cell pocket, plus a zippered compartment to help you stay organized. The zip top closure ensures all your goodies stay safe and secure inside.

So who says you need to spend a fortune for a little celebrity style? This cute Freak bag is something we can all afford!

The 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are rolling out the red carpet tomorrow. The official reason for their existence is to pay tribute to the stars of the small screen, but we all know you’re really glued to the box for the fashions. It’s all about the glamorous gowns, the glittering jewels, and those must-have handbags.

Keep your eyes peeled this year for this Platinum Clutch, an exclusive purse by Desperate Housewives’ costume designer Cate Adair. This one-of-a-kind beauty is valued at more than half a mllion dollars! The breathtaking bag features genuine platinum accents and 60 carats of Kwait diamonds.

Only the finest materials are used in my handbag collection, so I chose two of the best materials in the jewelry industry – platinum and Kwiat diamonds – to bring the Platinum Clutch to life. The natural whiteness of Platinum showcases the true beauty of the diamonds and ensures they will be held securely on the red carpet, during the award show and at the after parties.

You’ll have to wait and see which lucky star gets to carry this amazing handbag, but I’m sure whoever it is will be clutching it very tightly! After gracing the red carpet, the Platinum Clutch will be on display at Kwait’s newest store on New York’s Madison Avenue.

Maxx New York Riviera Satchel | Stylish and Spacious Red Canvas Handbag

Posted on: Sep 18

This Riviera satchel delivers European styling for much less than you’d expect to pay.

This gorgeous satchel is made from Riviera Italian coated canvas, a fabric that is as strong as it is stylish. It’s available in basic black or electric blue, but I prefer this flirty fire engine red variety. It makes that gold leather trim really pop! But those two large buckles don’t just look beautiful. They’ve got magnets underneath which help the bag stay shut. What a great idea!

The structured frame closure ensures the Riviera keeps its distinctive satchel shape, no matter how much you’re carrying inside. Open it up and you’ll see a bag built for organization. A zippered pocket and two slip pockets ensure you’ve always got a place for your loose coins, cell phone, and MP3 player.
