It’s been fun bringing you hot handbag news and reviews, served fresh daily! To thank you for reading, following us on Facebook and Twitter, and sharing in our handbag love, we’re giving away not one, but two Botkier handbags!
The first is the Botkier Jaden hobo in metallic bronze (retail value: $545). This large hobo bag is made of textured metallic leather with ruching down the front and on the single shoulder strap. The front also has two large pockets with hidden magnetic closures, and a metal embossed Botkier logo hangtag on strap. Inside this 15″ x 14″ x 6″ bag is a roomy interior with signature Botkier logo lining, a large zip pocket, two slip pockets and a chain link key fob.
The second is an oldie but goodie - the silver nylon sateen Botkier ‘Stevie’ large hobo (retail value: $475). This hobo features nylon sateen fabric trimmed with patent leather and polished pewter colored hardware. There are two ruched pockets with magnetic closure along the front, a leather strap woven through grommets and four metal feet along the base and a 20” patent leather single shoulder strap. The zip top closure opens to reveal a jacquard logo lining with four interior pockets. Measures 17¼” x 11” x 3¾”.
How to win? Simply follow us on Twitter or join us on Facebook and once we reach that ‘magic number’ of followers (say, 1,000) on either site, we’ll randomly pick a winner for each bag. Leave us a comment below too letting us know which bag you’d love to win! That’s it! Good luck and make sure to tell your friends to enter too!

Prada debuts B.Y.O. Bags
June 9, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
Luxury labels seem to be taking notice of the market of women who want the brand name bag, but not at brand name prices. For Prada fans, the brand recently launched a MUCH LOWER-priced collection of bags - the Prada B.Y.O. Bags. Read more
More luxury for less – Mulberry to design handbags for Target
June 8, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
Next on the low-priced luxury bus is Mulberry. The British brand known for bags like the Bayswater, Mabel, Mitzy and Alexa, just announced its designer collaboration with Target. In the works is a Mulberry-Target handbag line, in most Target stores and on Target.com starting October 10 through December 24.
Wonder what it will look like? We’re thinking some satchels, hobos, and maybe a clutch or two, plus a bit of faux snakeskin and of course, all in PVC. And we can’t wait to see the results.
Diane von Furstenberg Jungle Cool Beach Tote
June 8, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · 1 Comment
Yesterday I shopped the Diane von Furstenburg sample sale preview, thanks to Gilt. Inside the DvF sale, there were prints galore! I snagged a cute brown tiger print dress, along with an adorable ruffled tee. There were also print wrap dresses, swimsuits, coverups, and scarves. The bag selection was small – a shoulder bag here; a pouch there, but none were as cute as this Diane von Furstenberg Jungle Cool Beach Tote. Read more
Spotted: Jessica Szhor in London with Ed Westwick and her Kara Ross Prunella Python Envelope clutch
June 8, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
Great fashion minds think alike! We just featured this Kara Ross Prunella Python Envelope clutch on Handbag du Jour last week and then Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szhor was spotted out in London carrying it! Ok, so maybe we don’t have Jessica’s enviable closet but it is comforting to know we share the same taste - in style, arm candy and eye candy (hello Chuck Bass)! Fellow GG star and cutie, Ed Westwick, Jessica’s on-again, off-again boyfriend, was spotted with her at the SoHo Hotel in London, England. They then took off in the back of a chauffeured SUV to have some good old British fun.

Haute bag of the week: Halston Heritage Metallic Tote
June 8, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
It’s safe to say that naming Sarah Jessica Parker creative director of Halston Heritage reinvigorated the brand, and the new collection has definitely gotten our attention. The dresses, like the one she wore in Sex and the City, are nice summer pieces, but check out this stunning bag from the collection. The Halston Heritage Metallic Tote could easily rival some of our favorite designer bags. Read more
Steal du Jour: Botkier Bowie Shoulder bag
June 8, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · 1 Comment
If you’re wondering where to get a Botkier bag for $200, the answer is not only “at a sample sale”. Neiman Marcus is having an amazing women’s designer sale with crazy markdowns on everything, including our two faves – bags and shoes. As we tried to shield our eyes (and wallet) from those haute and severely marked down Tory Burch Ankle Tie sandals, we spied this lovely Botkier Bowie Shoulder Bag. Read more

Review: Project Runway winner Chloe Dao’s Nuo Tech bags
June 8, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · 4 Comments
We all have our favorite designer on each season of Project Runway and on the second season, Chloe Dao was certainly our fave. She won us over with her pleasant demeanor and interesting upbringing and background while wowing us with her unique patternmaking skills and simplistic yet sophisticated designs. Chloe’s clothes always seemed to fit perfectly and looked as if they would flatter the widest range of body types. We became die-hard fans and when she won, we were excited to see what she would do next. Read more
