Calla Bags Alicia Satchel Though most of us women love handbags, not all of us are willing to shell out loads of cash for them, especially for those new ‘It’ bags that are out next season. So many designers have started to create lower priced ‘diffusion’ lines, (for example, Gryson and Devi Kroell for Target). Now it’s Charm and Luck‘s turn. They have recently launched ...

Such a stunning bag doesn’t seem like it would be part of a brand called the ‘Jack Rabbit Collection‘ but that is the name of the brand started by designer Mollie Culligan. The Jack Rabbit Collection is an environmentally friendly line of handcrafted handbags, belts and jewelry with a celebrity fan base including Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, and Mischa Barton. Despite the peculiar name, ...

I like to think I’m a savvy shopper. I mean, I do write about where to buy the best bags, right? Well my friend O.B. should be writing on this blog because she managed to get the yellow/silver ‘Morning After bag‘ by Rebecca Minkoff or only $220! She was lucky to catch a super sale at Bloomingdale’s which only had three in stock and she snagged one for herself! By the time I ...

I always appreciate the simplicity and structural design of Furla bags. Some designers create simple handbags that are simply bo-ring but Furla’s basic bags always seem timeless. They even managed to make a gold metallic purse look classic and not at all trendy! This open-top tote looks amazing in a muted metallic patent leather. There’s a rounded front pocket with a striking flap lock ...

Wow! If I was ever stuck in the woods or some remote location with access to virtually nothing, this is the bag I’d want with me. I’m already the type of woman who carries too much a lot in her purse, and it drives me crazy when I carry a bag with only one pocket (you hear that Louis Vuitton Speedy?), so this one is just perfect. The Cynthia Rowley ‘New Survivor’ Multi Pocket ...

Despite her self-proclaimed title “The first supermodel. Ever!”, Janice Dickinson is not who I look to for fashion inspiration. However, she was spotted on the streets posing with carrying a Le PetitPas handbag. The brand has an odd manifesto – it only produces one new, exclusive handbag every six months to a year so that every bag “is always new, never more of the past”. ...

Mulberry is one of those handbag brands that seems to pride itself on classic luxury. So when I came across the Milton shoulder bag on Net-a-Porter‘s website, I was baffled. Are fingerprinted handbags the new ‘It’ bags? The Milton looks like the leather was handled before the paint was dry, or someone put their greasy fingers on the front of the bag. It does have some redeeming qualities: 1) ...

My boyfriend has a celebrity crush on Rihanna so I secretly despise her. But I have to admit, I really love her style. The edgy haircut, B-girl fashion and trendy accessories make her a true modern fashionista. She was recently spotted at the airport looking cute from head to toe, of course, but it was her haute red handbag that really caught my eye. I covered Rihanna’s handbags before but this ...

Often the best bags come in simple packages. And it’s the simplicity that makes me love this Purple Python Tote Bag by Ghibli ($1,372). The bag is made of perfectly constructed Italian leather in a gorgeous purple color (though the description says ‘raspberry’). I love the structured handles and gold hardware that sets off the purple color nicely. The inside has three large compartments, ...

As far as Sex and the City goes, I think most women want to dress as fashionably cool as Carrie Bradshaw. I guess that’s why Vanessa Bryant (Kobe’s wife) channeled her inner Sarah Jessica Parker and pulled out this interesting look to wear to her husbands Lakers playoff game, complete with the Timmy Woods Eiffel Tower purse from the Sex and the City movie. I love Vanessa’s outfit ...
