Thou shall not covet someone else’s stuff. Unless it’s this hot pink Celine Leather Luggage Tote. The Celine Leather Luggage Tote is easily the frontrunner for the ‘It’ bag title and the bag in itself inspires envy among bagistas in the know, with its luggage-inspired silhouette, sturdy double handles and distinctive curved raised piping detail. And in this flouro pink hue ...

Ever now and then we come across a handbag that stops us in our proverbial tracks; that makes us immediately want to know more, see more, buy more. Ladies and gents, right now that bag is the Céline Leather Luggage Shopper. The bag has been around a for a minute and we’ve spotted it on previous occasions (like on actress Carey Mulligan, above, as well as on Alexa Chung, Nicole Richie and Leighton ...

We can always count on Furla to deliver classic, durable and beautifully made handbags free of bels and whistles. Simple silhouettes and luxury leathers define the Furla brand. And typically, they keep their color palette simple too so we were pleasantly surprised to see the Furla Mango “Futura” Croco Shopper more…  Read More →

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. more…  Read More →

One bag color that seems hard to wear is yellow. Sure it’s a nice sunny color, but have you ever bought a yellow bag? We’ve never really considered yellow bags as an addition to our bag wardrobes but this Jimmy Choo ‘Isola’ Leather Shopper is making us have second thoughts. It’s not a tame, light yellow – it’s bright! – so to wear it you’ll have to downplay ...

Every where you shop, everyone seems to be going ‘green’. So that means less plastic bags, and more reusable ones. Most of the ‘green’ shopping bags are pretty hideous. They consist of colorful fabric ‘totes’ made of materials that aren’t sturdy enough to carry all of your things in. We wish more of them looked like the Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Studded ...

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite time of the year. I have so much to be thankful for: good friends, a loving family, decent career and the best handbag collection this side of the NYC. Although, I feel like something else should be occupying my arm, like a good looking man with a Black card. Most of my friends and family got up early to participate in the madness they call Black Friday. I don’t ...

Only a couturier like Valentino could create such artful pieces that only grace the arm! I’m not selling handbags short by any means, but bags are simple in comparison to couture clothing, yet Valentino’s touch makes them equally high-fashion and fabulous. The Valentino ‘Rose Vertigo’ Leather Shopper more…  Read More →

Click here to sign up to win a Marni Soft Shopping Bag from ideeli! Abstract drawings and prints often find their way into Consuelo Castiglioni’s designs for Marni, so it was a match made in fashion heaven when the Italian designer decided to create art with needy children for her special line called “Dreams of Growing Up.” Asked what they wanted in their grown-up lives, eager kids ...

Fashion Week is halfway over and I’m exhausted! It’s not easy to stay looking fabulous while running from show to show unless you’re a celeb of course. Then all you have to do is be escorted from your hotel, plop yourself down in the front row and enjoy the show! No waiting in lines, no recaps and reviews to worry about writing, no photo uploads, etc. One celeb who has no such worries ...

It’s been a while since I’ve ‘j’adored a Dior’. The last time I can remember truly loving one was when I purchased the blue logo canvas saddle bag that was popular back in the early 2000′s and more recently, some of the bags in the Dior Samurai collection. Other than that, I’ve been fairly unimpressed with the brand – most of their bags over the past few ...

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 ...

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. ...

I used to love the glitz and glam of the Versace brand, back in the early 2000′s, when celebrities were wearing shiny suits with Versace shades or Versace silk tops. And let’s not forget about the famous Jennifer Lopez Versace Grammy dress. Everything Versace branded was shiny and happy and sexy and silky until it all became slightly tacky. So it’s nice to see Versace redeem itself ...

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 ...
