When I go shopping around the holidays, I usually spend almost the entire weekend at the mall so I hate carrying a bag that’s uncomfortable. I want something roomy, of course, so I can carry everything I need for the day; something comfortable because there’s nothing worse than having a bag slip off your shoulder every five minutes; and something eye-catching, of course. I mean what’s ...

I’m a fan of basic, no-frills bags for every day use, but I love even better the ones with just a hint of frills. The Botkier ‘Layla’ Pleated Pocket Satchel is your basic Botkier satchel, with multiple pockets and zip compartments, but with a bit of jazz in the front detailed rows of stitched-down box pleats, which add a nice touch to the overall simplicity. The gunmetal leather ...

Design is like a form of art where everyone has a different point of view, and what could be viewed as a masterpiece by some could also be viewed as an amateur attempt by others. And it’s a shame because most artists and designers mean well and produce lots of ‘hits’, but every now and then there’s a huge ‘miss’. Like this Badgley Mischka Platinum Label Connie Hobo ...

Just last week I applauded Versace for re-building its brand, by toning down the tacky and designing more mature and chic handbags and accessories. It appears I spoke too soon. I just came across the most tacky Versace item I have seen in a while – the Versace ‘Kiss Print’ Shopper. As much as the original Versace Kiss Crocodile Shopper was a beauty, the print version is absolutely horrid. ...

When I first heard that a popular denim brand was branching out into handbags, I was concerned. Just because you can make hot jeans doesn’t necessarily mean that can translate into handbags. But the Cartagena Satchel by 7 For All Mankind is definitely a bag I’d carry, and better yet, one that I’d buy. This canvas and patent leather satchel is just gorgeous. The structured body is ...

I’m not sure I’d ever pay $1,050 for a beach bag but one as eye-catching as this might make me reconsider. Who cares about your swimsuit if you’re carrying this fabulous Jimmy Choo Dylan beach bag?

With the economy in a slump, buying luxury designer handbags is probably the last thing on most people’s minds. But when you come across such a fabulous steal, you can’t pass it up, no matter what your finances are like. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Patent Mag Bag is a striking high-fashion and luxury handbag at a surprisingly discounted price. The Patent Mag Bag is a stunner – a black patent ...

The best thing about New York is, hands down, the shopping. There is always a store within your reach so if you’re a shopaholic like me, this is both a blessing and a curse. The second best thing about New York is the surprise factor it brings – there’s always something going on and surprises around every corner. Literally. Today, just strolling around the city, I stumbled upon Rebecca ...

The holidays always make me think of shiny, glitzy, sparkly things. And as always, I’m on the hunt for the ideal holiday bag, for all the holiday parties I’m sure I’ll be invited to! Despite its large size, this Moschino Cheap and Chic bag fits the bill. The dark grey metallic patent leather is shiny, glitzy and sparkly so it spells h-o-l-i-d-a-y. But it also has a practical element ...

On Chanel‘s recent show in Paris, models walked down the runway toting handbags sporting the likeness of Karl Lagerfeld on the front, like a mask. The ‘Kaiser’ Karl is known for saying some inane things and designing some questionable things, (like the recent Chanel ‘Miami Vice’ Gun shoes) but this is the most narcissistic act of fashion ever. What do you think of these ...

Though Miu Miu‘s clothes are typically brightly colored and interestingly designed, the design team tends to prefer using solid earth tones and basic designs in their handbags. But despite the neutral palettes and silhouettes, Miu Miu has the knack for making its bags really special standout pieces.

Coach just unveiled its Holiday Collection and the Madison Fringed Tote really caught my eye. Layers of multicolored fringe of different lengths make up the outside of the bag. The bags are available in a rich plum color with several hues of purple suede, newport leather and crinkled patent leather, and a hot metallic version consisting of gold, bronze and silver dusted suede, textured, metallic calfskin, ...

I’m usually a huge fan of Gustto but every now and then they create a bag that makes me shake my head. No, Gustto! What is this? It looks like some sort of strange carrying contraption. The odd straps on the Gustto Metallic Vando Bag look like tentacles, as if aliens descended on Earth and invaded Gustto’s design studio. I always find it odd when a bag’s handles are bigger than the ...
