The bag that remains at the top of my wish list is the Chanel Classic 2.55 Coco Flap Bag. The reason it’s not yet in my closet and still on my list? It costs several thousand dollars. I’ve had my splurges on bags here and there, but never a price that high, so I’ve yet to make the leap from Chanel bag stalker to proud Chanel owner. But still I covet a classic Chanel bag like there’s ...

So here’s a new concept in handbag design – seam-free bags. Designer Paco Rabanne‘s new handbag line, called No Couture, is entirely seamless, and all of the bags are in fact held together by metal staples! If this sounds like a weekend craft project to you, don’t worry, it’s not. Rabanne used his iconic style of incorporating metal-linked rings (like he’s used ...

Diane von Furstenberg is no stranger to innovation – she made the wrap dress an iconic fashion item, after all. And her Diane von Furstenberg New Harper Large Day Bag is bound to be one of her biggest innovative hits yet. Tapping into the needs of the tech-savvy fashion set, the Harper Large Daybag is part luxury handbag, part iPad case, but not one of the usual, flat, zippered ones. Instead, it’s ...

While we’ve been trying to justify our intended purchase of a $3000+ luxury leather quilted bag, we just came across one that’s just as cute and a helluva lot less pricey. We’re talking about the Rebecca Minkoff Proposal. This new bag is both sophisticated and chic. Made of quilted leather, it features a large front flap closure and a long gold chain strap (that allows it to be worn ...

We know, we know – most crocodile skin handbags are equivalent in price to that of a used car! But sometimes you just can’t resist a good luxury splurge. So if you’re ready, willing and able to blow a few bucks on a designer bag, then an exotic Nancy Gonzalez bag is one that’s worth it. The Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Flap Chain Strap Shoulder Bag is great for summer in this vibrant ...

Of all the Miu Miu handbags that we love (and trust us, there are many), the Miu Miu Matelassé style has to be one of our absolute faves. The unique V-shaped quilted leather and buckled lock closure are just some of the signature details that contribute to our bag lust. Miu Miu has launched several new soft matte nappa and patent matelassé bags in the 2011 Fall/Winter accessories collection. The ...

Oil slicks are not the first thing that comes to mind when we think of handbags. And oil and handbags are not the most likely pairs. In fact, we’d advise against getting anything oily near your precious bags, old and new. But it appears that oil was the inspiration for the Coach Poppy Oil Slick Boxy Bag, and surprisingly, somehow it works. This crossbody bag is made of a shiny, slick patent leather ...

Of course we’re obsessed with Diane von Furstenberg‘s ladylike spring dresses and sandals, but the bags are to-die-for! But our latest DvF obsession is this Diane von Furstenberg Harper Two-Tone Flap Shoulder Bag. It’s the perfect little ‘It’ bag for spring. This season is all about the mid-sized flap bag and this one is right in so many ways. First, the silhouette is ...

While waiting for the weather to warm up (Spring where are you?) and planning tropical getaways, we’re steady daydreaming about exotic locales, and the bags we’ll take with us. The Antik Batik Pampa Bag has our minds on sandy beaches, clear blue water in the Caribbean, and fruity drinks. This exotic snakeskin print handbag comes in a multicolor shade of tropical hues – aqua, pink, sunny ...

They say once you go chain you never go back. Ok. Maybe I said it but, it’s true. I can remember my first chain bag, the Marc Jacobs Quilted Stam bag. Marc and I were inseparable for at least 2 months, until I saw my next door neighbor commit the ultimate sin; buying a knock off version on 5th Avenue. When I got my Lanvin Python Happy Partage last year, I knew this was it. Next thing you know, ...

Our friend Staci over at Handbag Report has had her eye on Coach bags lately, and for good reason. She found this adorable new purse in the Coach ‘Poppy’ collection – the New Tangle Ballchain Frame Bag ($248). It’s a sparkly little number that’s sure to be a holiday party head-turner.

We’ve come to know what to expect of Yves Saint Laurent in terms of handbags. From the flat Tribute to the Downtown hobo, the Easy and Muse satchels and the Roady hobo, sleek lines and classic styling are the common characteristics of YSL handbags. And they typically come in rich hues of red, emerald green, deep navy and black. So we were thrown for a loop when we came upon the Yves Saint Laurent ...

I typically find that Stella McCartney‘s bags are way overpriced, considering she doesn’t use leather. Though many of her handbags are cute, I find that they’re not worth the money. But this Stella McCartney Metallic linen fold-over clutch almost made me want to whip out my credit card! more…  Read More →

It’s time to start thinking about Spring bags! Zagliani‘s back with their Botoxed-python creations and I’m loving this soft pink Medium JJ Shoulder bag. Pink is the color this Spring and Zagliani’s bags are always classic investment bags that make them (almost) worth their high price tags. Chain handle bags are also maiking a big comeback this Spring and I like Zagliani’s take on the ...

In my mind, Tory Burch is my cool friend who dresses great all the time, takes me shopping and lets me raid her closet, full of pieces she designed. I’m really loving her neo classic style – it’s like modern day Polo Ralph Lauren but for the younger, hipper, chic-er set. The Tory Burch ‘Happy’ Chain Strap Hobo is really the only bag you need for Fall. The tri-colored ...
