If I was a rich girl, I wouldn’t need to rock this purse. But since I’m not, I like to play ‘pretend’ and accessorize as if I am. Dresscamp’s ‘Rich’ Purse is your basic black leather flap clutch but is embellished with diamantes and brass studs spelling out the word ‘rich’. It’s the perfect purse for every occasion – show off your wealth ...

Sigh… What has become of the legacy of Dooney & Bourke? What ever happened to the classic bags, high quality leather and brass hardware, and simplicity of design? This is one of those bags that left me utterly speechless when I first saw it. The only clue that this is a Dooney & Bourke bag are the D’s, B’s and the Dooney & Bourke name scrawled across the popsicles. Popsicles? Yes, ...

While the celebrity favored ‘Le Dix’ has arguably been the most popular in the Balenciaga family, the Balenciaga Tron is the undiscovered gem. It is the ultimate in classy bags for the mature woman. In my opinion it is the more sensible and sophisticated bag with its very contemporary and sleek calf leather, front gold ‘winged’ clasp and swivel top handles. I simply adore this ...

So brown zebra print may not be appropriate for the Summer but it’s never too early to get a headstart on shopping for your Fall wardrobe, right? Here’s a wonderfully designed clutch that I think will get a lot of wear in your wardrobe. The ‘Romy’ Clutch by Ignes Handbags is an odd-shaped but nevertheless chic clutch. The brown and black hair-on calfskin is unique to each bag, ...

It’s time for a new style. Anna Corinna pioneered it, Ferragamo perfected it, others copied it, but I thought we moved past it. ‘It’ is the fold over bag. The Anna Corinna City Tote was one of the hottest bags last season. Now Michael Kors is trying his own version. Granted, his is a bit different; it looks slightly more complicated, but pretty much the same style overall. His Fold-Over ...

Luxury accessory designer Devi Kroell is the next in line to offer low-priced luxury accessories to the masses. Her ‘New Luxury Collection’ for Target consists of high-quality, faux snakeskin handbags, in similar styles to her luxury collection. The bags look just as luxurious as her original collection. Kroell rose to fame several years ago when celebs like Jessica Simpson were spotted ...

Prada’s Fall 2007 handbag collection is a departure from traditional Prada bags. Instead of basics (browns and blacks), Prada borrowed inspiration, it seems, from a rocket popsicle. The Ombre Patent Leather Tote is a shiny, happy anti-Prada tote, with tricolor bands of blended black, red and white. It’s a fantastic bag – a large, roomy tote with a detachable shoulder strap and Prada’s ...

60′s-inspired chevron prints are making a comeback. But who did it better? Marc Jacobs’ Ivory Chevron Leather Framed Handbag or Furla’s Giselle Medium Shopper?  Read More →

I hope you’re celebrating with tons of barbeques and fourth of July fireworks! In celebration of the holiday, here are some haute red white and blue bags to tote this holiday: Get the Betsey Johnson – Viva La Betsey East/West Tote (Red) – Handbag a rockin’ red satchel with gold nameplate, chain detail and turnlock closures. Jean Paul Gaultier’s Le Prive Satchel in white ...

I’m all for uniqueness, especially in fashion. But Barney’s selection of CO-OP bags are just plain odd. I found three that were especially perplexing: Jas MB’s Limited Edition Hobo is the least expensive of the three (on sale for $339), but equally strange. Why, oh why would anyone want top handles on a hobo? Why would you even want to carry it that way? Isn’t the whole point ...

When I’m tired of over-logo’ed, over-studded, heavy-metaled bags, I look to emerging designers for something fresh and fun. Enter Jenny Yuen. Her bags consist of primarily Italian cowhide but my favorites are the custom printed canvas bags which showcases the designer’s hand-drawn illustrations. While I’ll never understand the use of some animals in fashion (like Marc Ecko’s ...
