It’s All in the Numbers

Looking for a great summer beach tote? Well count your blessings because you’ve just found one. Attn NY offers this large summery tote appropriately titled “Happy Lottery”. This bag is simple and streamlined in shape, but covered in a jazzy colorful print. Even better, the tote is fully lined in canvas and reversible, and at $48, the price is unbeatable.

Wood Paneling Gets a Makeover

Wood paneling generally conjures up memories of tacky 70’s home décor and Chrysler minivans. Tivi puts wood paneling to better use, in this attractive and sleek clutch. Named a finalist in Gen Art’s Styles 2006 Competition, Tivi’s clutches are available in zebrawood and ebony (pictured), with ivory, aloe, and black goatskin leather accents. Priced at $280.

Keep the Change

What do you do with all that extra change lying around in your purse? Well, you could save it for a rainy day, or you can use it to decorate your bag. That’s exactly what Shatira Smelser did when she created her line of Original Coin Purses. Available are the “Penny Coin Purse”, and the “Dime Coin Purse”. Priced at $125 each, it won’t take too long to save up your own change and purchase one.

Hop on the Hudson

I love this trend of equestrian inspired bags. Kenneth Cole has this gorgeous, roomy, Hudson Hobo available in leather, linen, lace and washed croc. This one, in brown washed metallic leather is detailed with just enough studs so that it’s not too overwhelming or busy. The shape is dynamic and it fits just perfectly beneath your arm. At $239.99, the price isn’t too shabby either.

Ride the White Horse

You won’t find this bag at Target. Luella Bartley jumps off the low–price bus and onto the equestrian bandwagon with this uber–cute bowler bag. The Boston is constructed of canvas, accented with leather and studs, and on the front has an adorable leather appliqué in the shape of a horse’s head. Ride on over to Luella.com to pick up yours. On sale for £250.00.
