If you follow Handbag du Jour regularly, you know that there’s nothing I love more than studs on a bag. No matter what silhouette, style or material of the bag, studs always take it up a notch and add a little extra edge. I think a studded bag balances perfectly with a sweetly feminine outfit like a flirty dress, and equally well with a more rocker-style outfit of a blazer, tee and leather leggings. ...

MJ is the Artistic Director for Louis Vuitton, so it makes sense that this similar hideousness ...

For Spring 2012, Burberry bags went the way of tribal-meets-DIY. Not to say that the bags looked any less luxurious than usual, but on the contrary. Using materials like raffia and techniques like crocheting, beading, weaving, and braiding, Burberry’s Spring 2012 handbags did look handcrafted, but in the most high-end way and using only the finest materials. Top handle totes were done in an ...

Mulberry‘s Spring/Summer 2012 collection was chock full of ice cream colors and sherbert-like hues, and the handbags that they sent down the runway accessorized the looks beautifully.

Old favorites like the Mulberry Bayswater Satchels came in lemon yellow and a lush lime green, along with a smaller version ...

VBH has come a long way from its simple yet chic envelope clutches. The handbag line created by V.

We’ve always admired kate spade bags from afar, but never owned one and never had quite the elated reaction to seeing one as we did the kate spade new york Bow Bridge Little Kennedy shoulder bag. We spotted it in the window of the kate spade store in SoHo, and immediately ran home to look it up online and learn more about it – where to buy it, how much it costs, how long it will take to ...
