Alexander McQueen’s Skull-shaped clasp Clutch

Wow, Halloween bags have gotten a lot more chic! Whether you’re going out trick-or-treating or partying the night away, in costume or out, the Alexander McQueen Skull Clasp Clutch is the perfect accessory. This petite black box-shaped bag is made of palatial leather and crowned with a signature Alexander McQueen skull-shaped clasp closure adorned with genuine Swarovski® crystals. It’s ...

Goldenbleu Delilah Bag

The Goldenbleu Delilah Bag certainly lives up to its name. This red-hot bag is equal parts sultry, sexy and, tempting, and like Delilah, is sure to lure you in. The hobo is made of shiny dark red snake-embossed leather with tonal bright red patent trim. There’s a center zipper down the front flanked by ruching and multi-toned handle accents, with gold buckle detail on the sides. The double rolled ...

Nicci Deerskin Bag

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this Nicci Deerskin Bag priced at only $475. You may think that’s a lot for a lesser known designer but take a closer look at the bag and you’ll agree it’s a steal. This rounded 11 1/4″ x 16″ hobo is made of luxe chocolate brown deerskin and the leather looks soft to the touch, yet because it’s deerskin, you know it’s ...

Celeb Spotting: Halle Berry with the Cartier Marcello Bag

Ah, the girl who has it all – beauty, talent, a hot model boyfriend, an adorable baby and an enviable wardrobe complete with a new accessory for every day. Halle Berry‘s latest piece of arm candy (aside from Gabriel Aubry) is the Cartier Marcello bag, designed by former Calvin Klein designer Marlin Yuson. She was spotted out shopping/going to yoga (her daily routine it seems) with the black ...

Felix Rey Emma Zip Top Clutch

I usually like to write about bags that are season-appropriate since that’s most likely when you’ll be buying them! However, this bag is so adorable that I couldn’t resist telling you about it, even though with this horrible rainy weather, this is the absolute worst time to buy a light pink nylon clutch! The Felix Rey Emma Zip Top Clutch is such a pretty little thing. A 5.5″ ...

Haute or Not: Matthew Williamson Geometric Print Tote

The Matthew Williamson Geometric print tote is one of the worst bags I’ve seen in a while. It’s being sold on Net-a-Porter and described as “a lively printed large tote with an on-trend geometric pattern.” On-trend? Really? I think I must have missed this trend. I didn’t realize that geometric cross-stitch and needlepoint graphics were hot for fall. And why is this tote ...

See by Chloe Daytripper Round Shoulder Bag

I’m a fan of glitzy and glammy rock star stuff, and I’m a huge David Bowie fan, especially from the Ziggy Stardust days. I don’t mind the cleaned up version of Bowie of present, but I love the heavy eye makeup/painted face/shiny silver outfitted Bowie much, much more. So when I saw this See by Chloe Daytripper Round Shoulder Bag it immediately made me reminisce of the old David Bowie ...

Tory Burch Signature Katherine Tote

I love the fun and funky Tory Burch wth ‘T’s emblazoned and logoed all over everything. But sometimes I’m also in need of a more grown-up bag. Actually, all of Burch’s creations are work-worthy but this one in particular screams ‘corporate’ to me (in a really good way). The Tory Burch Signature Katherine Tote is incredibly posh and chic, and the color scheme is ...

Martine Sitbon Colorblock Clutch

It’s really difficult to create a multi-textured bag without it looking cheap. But Martine Sitbon succeeds amazingly. The Martine Sitbon Colorblock Clutch is a trio of sumptuous materials – white and brown patent, and bronze-colored pebbled, metallic leather that work together beautifully. This glamorous clutch is made mostly of the bronze crackled metallic leather with a fold-over front flap ...

Botkier Kika North/South Satchel

I’m feeling overwhelmed because there’s so much going on, on this bag, I don’t know where to begin describing it. The Botkier Kika North/South Satchel is made of reptile-stamped shimmering lambskin with contrasting solid metallic leather trim. On top of that, the bag’s design includes multiple straps and bands of leather throughout the exterior, a leather bow at the bottom ...

Yves St. Laurent Palma Patent Leather Tote

It’s clear – Yves St. Laurent makes some chic tote bags. And it seems the key to that is not straying too far from the formula that works well for them. The Palma Patent Leather Tote may look an awful lot like the Patent Tribute Flat Tote because it has the same characteristics that we’ve come to expect and love from YSL, like crocodile-embossed patent leather and gold hardware. ...

Marc Jacobs is Intent on Making Me Fall in Love with the ‘Stam’

The Marc Jacobs Stam is one of those bags that I just could not get into, no matter how many celebrities, models and fashionistas loved it. I just didn’t get it. The shape was odd, that huge chunky chain strap looked heavy and painful and the quilting was just too granny-like. But slowly MJ started to wear me down. Recently Christina Milian was spotted with a hot pink version which I ruefully ...

Tales from my Bag Crypt – the Hayden Harnett Lido Quilted Leather Hobo

One of my most favorite handbag purchases is the Hayden Harnett Lido Quilted Leather Hobo. When I first saw it on the HH website, I knew I had to have it. It looked absolutely stunning and is part of Hayden Harnett‘s Paule Marrot collection. The honeycomb quilted pattern first drew me in; then the liquid metallic leather. I purchased the ‘Lead’ color but also drooled heavily over ...

CC Skye Kenzie Satchel

CC Skye’s transition from jewelry designer to handbag designer came off flawlessly since she incorporates a jewelry feel into all of her bags. The Kenzie Satchel itself looks like a gem with its vibrant purple patent leather material and shiny gold hardware. It’s an adorable bag with tons of practical pockets, on the front and sides, and has dual handles along with a detachable shoulder ...
