No Longer a Little L.A.M.B.

Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. line grows up. Her debut line of handbags and apparel were definitely cute, but had that trendy, Gwen Stefani rock star-style – with plenty of rasta colors, camouflage, prints and stripes and plastered L.A.M.B. logos. Now, L.A.M.B. bags are trending toward simpler shapes and colors. I love the L.A.M.B. Sutton Satchel. It’s a great Fall bag, as well as a great ...

It’s a Mod, Mod World

Simplicity in design mixed with sculptural shapes and very little hardware are characteristics of Kaia Peterka’s bags. Her collection ranges from clutches to shoulder bags, to cross body bags, and consist of colorful leathers, soft silks and brocades. I adore the simplicity of the entire collection but the standout piece is the Zhivago top handle bag. This mod, square shaped black bag is given ...

Kristen Lee’s Haute Hobo

I prefer satin as a great material for evening bags and cool clutches but never really imagine it as the material of choice for something larger. But this satin hobo by Kristen Lee ($297) looks totally practical and, is, in Shopbop’s words, “utterly beautiful”. Kristen Lee Handbags Satin Hobo A super-sized “V”-shaped slouchy hobo gets a makeover with luxurious yellow ...

Halle’s (Baby) Bag

Is Halle pregnant? Her big, flowy dresses seem to be suspiciously hiding a baby bump. We’ll find out soon enough, but if she is preggers, she’s got a great new bag to tote Baby Berry’s stuff in. One of the hottest new bags for Fall 2007 is the Yves St. Laurent Patent Tribute Medium Flat Tote. This double-handle tote’s quilted patent leather resembles a luxe crocodile skin, ...

Haute or Not – Juicy Couture Georgia Patchwork Hobo

Juicy Couture bags have come a long way since terry cloth companions to the once ubiquitous sweatsuits. Lately, they’ve been much more toned down – simple leather satchels, hobos and totes, with a few Juicy details, like chains or charms. In my opinion, Juicy bags may never reach ‘It’ status, but the designs have been good enough to justify a purchase. However, this atrocity, ...

My Dream Job

I’ve been obsessed with handbags for as long as I can remember but I never thought an opportunity like this would come along, for me to share my handbag obsession with the world! Bag Borrow or Steal is searching for “America’s Ultimate Bagaholic” and will hold the job of Chief Bag Officer. (Am I dreaming?) If selected, you’ll win a bagaholic’s dream – you’ll ...

The New Sophistication of Dior

Christian Dior bags have, in the past few years, transitioned from cute and trendy (saddle bags), to young and ubiquitous (girly bags), and now back to classic style. The new Fall collection boasts some striking pieces that reflect Dior’s return to sophistication. The Dior Samourai 1947 Knot Frame Bag is simply haute, and if you can afford it, so worth the $3,600 price tag. This is the type ...

The Little Black Clutch

Who says black is boring? Although summer is a great time to spice up your wardrobe with lots of juicy colors, every now and then there’s a black accessory that’s a must-have. This clutch by Malini Murjani is one of those must-haves. The Resin Billyette Clutch is a modern ‘mod’ clutch – think modern art meets 60′s style. The bag is expandable, lined in leather, ...
