Frye Carson Shoulder Bag


,coach usa
The last time I wrote about a handbag from Frye, I criticized it pretty heavily. And I stand behind that criticism; it wasn't a particularly awesome bag in any way. No one gets it right all the time, and I love Frye's boots, but that bag didn't do their brand justice.Luckily, they've done a little bit better this time. The Frye Carson Shoulder Bag is much more appropriate for the brand's aesthetic - its thick, matte leather and camel color reference Frye's signature look much better the the slick,coach diaper bags outlet, thin-looking leather of the last tote we talked about. The color isn't my style, but I can admit that it's beautiful in it's own right and would probably work well in the wardrobes of those that have a personal style different from my own. My favorite thing about the bag, though,Coach Kristin Bags, is that it clearly emits the urban cowboy-hipster aesthetic that has made Frye so successful in the past few years - after all, what's the use of having a look if you don't rock it?

Antoinette Lee Designs' Olivia Crossbody Handbag Featured in OK! Magazine


,Coach OP Art Bags
It's no surprise to see celebrities like Kate Bosworth in the pages of the tabloids, but to see Handbago's own beloved featured designer bags next to her brings no end to our delight. Antoinette Lee Designs' Olivia Crossbody was featured on the Get the Look section of OK! Magazine this week.Although the main focus was on lace being a style that can be used all year round, the Olivia was one of the accessories used to contrast the soft and feminine fabric for a more dramatic look.“What a wise choice!” I declared in my head.Taking elements such as washed vintage leather,coach usa, dripped studs, and a detachable double strap,coach factory outlet online, Antoinette Lee creates an edgy, rocker-chic vibe circa 1987 that can roughen up the look of lace or heighten an outfit comprised of dark colors and plenty of leather. This bag is a wardrobe chameleon as well; it comes in four colors, any of which can correspond to your mood or style.This is all jolly and good, but what's really the best part of the Olivia Crossbody bag?That it's sold right here on Handbago.com, of course.

Puma Runway Shoulder Bag



An athletic shoe company? Making nice handbags? You're not serious, right? Oh, you are? Ok…well I guess Puma is slightly more stylish than your average sneaker brand,Coach Purses Outlet, and they are a favorite of hipsters everywhere. So maybe I can see that. They do make a lot of man bags that seem very popular, a woman bag couldn't have been far behind. And now ShopBop carries them, which, you know,coach handbags, who knew? And I quite like the Puma Runway Shoulder Bag. I'd take the extra shoulder strap off (natch!),Coach OP Art Bags, but what you've got is an affordable, on-trend (purple AND patent!), highly usable handbag. I like the light gold hardware (particularly the zip-around zipper) and the subtle branding, plus the color is divine and I wouldn't be afraid to throw it on the floor of my car if I needed to (at the moment, it makes me absolutely cringe). And, I mean, I guess you could use it as a messenger bag, if you're in to that sort of thing. Which I'm not. So. Buy through Shop Bop for $110.

Would you splurge on a raffia bag-



Miu Miu Leather-Trimmed Raffia Satchel, $1450 via NAPOver the weekend we started with windy,Coach Classic Outlet, rainy, chilly weather and ended with sunshine and temperatures reaching the mid 70s. I won't complain because that warmth is just what I was needing, but I must admit Mother Nature is confusing me. However, with the arrival of spring and summer, raffia reappears. When I first spotted the Miu Miu Leather Trimmed Raffia Satchel on Net-A-Porter, I immediately thought to myself 'I would never splurge on a raffia bag'. But then I remembered that I indeed have bought a designer raffia bag from Balenciaga and I adore it. The wearability factor goes down tremendously when thinking about buying a seasonal piece such as this and truth be told, many are not fans of the scratchy look and feel raffia gives. On this Miu Miu bag, it is not my favorite either, but when it comes to my Balenciaga bag I really love it as a fun summer bag. Buy the Miu Miu bag via NAP for $1,coach diaper bags outlet,450.So, would you buy a raffia bag and if so,Coach Totes Outlet, how much would you spend on one?

Angelina Jolie Style- Valentino Braided Leather Shoulder Bag


,Coach OP Art Bags
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took their brood to Lee's Art Shop in midtown New York City last Friday. Maddox, Zahara and Pax were in tow and swarmed by eager onlookers and paparazzi. While rumors fly about Angelina's disappearing waist line, her style stays true to herself. Angelina sported a Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses with a sleek black dress and an ivory Valentino Braided Leather Shoulder Bag.

The braided handle along with the buckle detailing and flaps are completely hot for fall. Available at Bergdorf Goodman for $1695.

Fashion Week Handbags- Bottega Veneta Spring 2011



While the entirety of Italian fashion is busy making itself over in technicolor, leave it to Tomas Maier and Bottega Veneta to step back for a moment to remind us all of the not-insignificant charms of a functional, neutral,Coach Classic Outlet, well-made luxury bag. That description might seem like it would portend a collection of boredom, but quite the contrary - Bottega Veneta Spring 2011 speaks softly,Coach Poppy Outlet, but carries a big stick.With these designs,becoachoutlet.com, Maier sends a clear message - a bag doesn't have to have a gimmick to be great. Texture and ease abounds in this collection, and that translates into exotics, frayed edges and a host of variations on Bottega's traditional intrecciato theme. The results are functional and beautiful, and there's not a fad in sight. Photos via Style.com.

Donna Karan Sabre Shoulder Bag


,Coach Purses Outlet
Help me out with this one, folks. The Donna Karan Sabre Shoulder Bag is reminding me a lot of Gucci and I can't quite figure out why.Is it the shape? Gucci tends to make a lot of big, chunky shoulder bags. Or maybe the color? I'm not a big fan of tan,Coach Poppy Outlet, but Gucci's tans have always held a special place in my heart - I think they get the amount of orange undertone just right. This one doesn't seem quite the same, but it's reminiscent, I think. Maybe it's the “rustic” accents? There's no Gucci-signature bamboo,Coach Totes Outlet, but the claw-like (or tooth-like?) closure still reminds me of the kinds of things they like to do. So are you seeing what I'm seeing, or have I looked at so many handbags that they're all starting to blur together in my mind? Buy through Bergdorf Goodman for $1895.

CC Skye Mimi Bag


,Coach 2012 Outlet
Admittedly I am a CC Skye fan; I love her handbags and accessories. Every time I carry one of her bags or wear a couple of her bangles, I get stopped. Since the bags aren't as mainstream as say,coach diaper bags outlet, Louis Vuitton, people tend to always ask me where I got my bag. And even better yet, when I do start talking about the bag,coach.com, I begin talking about the line and how much I adore the designs.As new designs begin to emerge, all I find myself saying is “ooooh, I NEED that”. I said that very statement today when I saw the CC Skye Mimi Bag in this new amazing purple color. In typical form, the leather looks down right hug-able. I wasn't the least bit surprised to see chunky hardware and noticeable stitch detailing. If you don't like hardware on your handbag noticeable, then this designer might not be the one for you. But, if you are like me and love to have a bag that makes a chic statement, then keep CC Skye on your radar. I'm definitely thinking about pre-ordering this bag ASAP! Snag this through Singer22 for $625. Related StoriesCC Skye Mimi BagCC Skye Ashley Python Shoulder BagCC Skye Kensington BagCC Skye Ashley Python Shoulder Bag

Fashion Week Handbags- Roger Vivier Spring 2011


,coach handbags
All it takes is one cruise through Roger Vivier's website to know that the company highly regards the use of wit and whimsy in its shoes and bags,coach coupons, and its Spring 2011 handbag collection follows that path into very literal territory. Whether you enjoy the results or not probably depends heavily on how you feel about your luxury goods having a sense of humor.For most of these pieces, I find great pleasure in looking at them, and would probably enjoy carrying them every now and then,coach bags outlet sale, but their prices will likely be too high to justify buying a bug-covered clutch or a bag that plays home to a school of one-dimensional fish.

Antik Batik Gossip Big Bag



Let's go ahead and get the obvious out of the way here: I'd like this bag better if it wasn't black. Although the black sorta works here,coach bags outlet sale, in a rich, wintery way, and a black bag is an essential,Coach Crossbodys, if not exciting, part of most women's wardrobes.

Could You Get Any Trendier Than This Cleobella Bag-



Cleobella is the answer for boho recessionistas looking for a trendy-but-broken-in bag,cheap coach handbags, one thatĆ¢€™s of a certain quality. Their prices are generally low, as far as designer bags are concerned, and the leather is always what I like to call Ć¢€Å“Williamsburg-worn.Ć¢€ That is, the leather has that worn look favored by alternative hipsters one often runs into in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.However, with its studs and fringe,Coach Totes Outlet, this Cleobella Zula Bag veers much more towards the trendy than the alternative.

Jimmy Choo Riki Bag



Right off the bat this handbag carries a very different look. The gray is a subtle hue,Coach Poppy Outlet, that is soothing, and then there are large circular studs that run up and down the sides of the bag. Yet the subtle gold metallic under-layer shines through the metallic gray perforated Jimmy Choo Riki Bag perfectly. The hardware is gold but it appears very subtle,Coach OP Art Bags, as if it is silver, not gold. There are double top handles and one of Jimmy Choo's signatures, thin straps of leather threaded through rings along the top. When I look at this bag I love it,Coach Classic Outlet, but I can not put together exactly why. Why does a bag that seems to have quite a bit going on lure me in?

Gucci Spring-Summer 2006 Handbag



Right off the bat the name is not anything really descriptive (I will blame that on the site rather than Gucci itself), but this bag is oddly alluring. If you are drawn into both gold and silver,coach clearance, the shiny Gucci Spring/Summer 2006 Handbag may be just for you.

So today,coach handbags outlet, we will all just have to rely on outer appearance to try to judge this bag for ourselves. The materials that are put together to make this bag include suede, leather, gold metal hardware. The hypnotizing part of this bag is how the signature GG's fade from silver to shiny gold.

Typically, the natural python look is not for me. I suppose seeing it on many horrid looking cow boy boots tainted me. Don't get me wrong, I love python skin,coach baby bags, but I prefer it dyed. Yet the coloring on this Ramona is beautiful. Perhaps it is because the suede trim offsets the natural python perfectly and breaks up the pattern. Either way, the Jimmy Choo Ramona Snake and Suede Bag radiates beauty. Jimmy Choo uses exotic whip snake and pairs it with taupe suede trim and golden hardware. The overall look is killer,coach clearance, expressing a style that uses lush products that are bold enough to stand on their own,coach usa, yet implementing a soft touch for the finish.

Gucci Icon Bit Medium Shoulder Bag



Gucci confuses us from time to time, teetering from overly gaudy bags to beautiful pieces. Obviously we prefer the beautiful wearable pieces so as we continue to find them Gucci continues to slowly grow on us and make its way into our hearts.

Handbag or Purse-



When we started this website, Purse Blog seemed like a perfectly fitting name. But over time I realized that I tend to use the word handbag more than purses. And then, of course, for short I use the term bag. Both terms mean the same thing,coach handbags, but I still find myself gravitating toward saying designer handbags rather than designer purses. Some people have told me that men use the word more often than women, not sure if this is true. As I discuss our website and business with outsiders, the terms purses and handbags are thrown around. Most recently I was asked which term we prefer. And I immediately said handbags. Then realized that our site and forum are named Purse Blog and Purse Forum. Of course both terms can be used interchangeably, and denote the same meaning, but I prefer one over the other.

Matt & Nat make a tie-dyed bag that I can tolerate



Normally I shy away from any trends that can be construed as “boho” or “hippie,” which means that my acquiescence to the tie-dye bag trend has been slow and gradual. The Matt & Nat Hendrix Bag just might put me over the top,Coach Purses Outlet, though.I think that what makes me appreciate this bag over others like it is that it's black-based. Most boho trend pieces tend to be very heavy on the brown, which is a color that doesn't really work with my personal aesthetic (not to mention my hair color). Black, however,Coach outlet, is completely within my comfort zone.The black background makes the turquoise and orange really pop,coach baby bags, and if you prefer to wear dark colors but still want to incorporate a summer-appropriate accessory, this is a great way to do it. Plus, if you're opposed to the use of animal products, Matt & Nat is a great brand to patronize - none of its bags use leather. Buy through ShopBop for $165.

Mandy Coon Bunny Bag



Our email boxes are getting quite full with questions about holiday gifts. What handbag will you give the gal who has everything but wants a new bag? Is she young and fun? If so,coach purses, I have the answer: the Mandy Coon Bunny Bag. I know,coach factory outlet, I know, it is a little silly. But there is someone out there that this novelty animal bag will work on. We saw Agyness Deyn rocking a Giles Deacon Dinosaur Bag and I have a feeling there are some gals out there who can wear this Bunny Bag well too.

We all need a little more fun and whimsical in our lives. Maybe you will never buy this bag and never see yourself carrying it,Coach Crossbodys, but I say two thumbs up for keeping things playful Mandy Coon. Buy via Colette for $590.

Oovoo Bella Handbag


,coach purses
We have a new category called “Introducing…”. This category is where I can post all new designers that I have heard of and are trying to break into the world of handbags. I recently received an email from Oovoo who create handbags that have a unique blend of Asian and Western influences which makes them handcrafted works of art. The name of the company is so much fun and the bag of my choice is the Oovoo Bella Handbag which is 'flirty,coach diaper bags outlet, feminine and fun,cheap coach handbags!' This bag is a clamshell zipper bag with black leather pleats and handles. The hand-embroidered accents add the Asian and Western feel Oovoo focuses on and gives the bag something extra. Measurements are 14Ć¢€W X 14Ć¢€H X 2Ć¢€D and this bag is available via Oovoo for $175.

Jimmy Choo Bardia Shoulder Bag



If this bag was made to appeal to anyone in particular,cheap coach handbags, it was made to appeal to someone like me. I like buckles, I like industrial stuff, and I like copious amounts of black leather in whatever texture it may come. And just in case anyone was wondering - no, this does not extrapolate out to my personal life.But the Jimmy Choo Bardia Shoulder Bag just isn't doing it for me,coach usa, and it's mostly because the whole idea for the bag seems a little bit half-baked. Instead of really playing with the idea of a bag inspired by industrial style, it looks like the folks at Jimmy Choo merely took a really boring black hobo and but some nonfunctional buckles and straps on the sides. At best, it looks like a bit of an afterthought and at worst,Coach Madison Bags, it looks totally contrived. With so many outstanding bags of a similar style on the market for fall, Choo is going to have to try harder next time. Buy through Saks for $1750.

JADEtribe Elizabeth Messenger Bag


,coach factory
I understand that I may be alone on this one, but itĆ¢€™s a risk IĆ¢€™m willing to take. Unlike, well, a lot of people, I love the strange mountainous bohemian style that JADEtribe propones. It just has so many things that I like very much, not to mention that it is eco-friendly. Allow me to remind you that there was an um, GIGANTIC oil spill recently, so we should care about our planet.And no, IĆ¢€™m not going to apologize for breaking out the tree-hugger slogans. But I digress. Sure, this JADEtribe Elizabeth Messenger Bag may embody a certain niche style,coach baby bags, but it can break out into other different styles. Just try pairing it with a sleek cream chiffon creation or even a rocker ensemble.While itĆ¢€™s still bohemian,Coach outlet, itĆ¢€™ll make your outfit much more diverse. Who doesnĆ¢€™t love that? I mean, we always need to freshen our wardrobe a bit, and adding a bit of granola may just provide the touch of spice you need. Buy through Shopbop for $298.

Jimmy Choo Face Canvas Bag


,Coach OP Art Bags
Jimmy Choo Face Canvas BagMany of the resort handbags are really quirky. I am talking about colorful weaves, splattered paint,coach diaper bags outlet, faces, and intricate designs. I have not fully bought into it yet,Coach Totes Outlet, and am laying low and trying to find my way through some of the designs. Take this Jimmy Choo bag for example, it is really out there. The four faces placed on the Jimmy Choo Face Canvas Bag give a whole new meaning to meet my bag. Yes, meet my bag staring Lydia, Sasha, Marilyn, and Maria. The faces are mostly black and white, but then there is very over-done eyeshadow that sticks out on each. Someone needs to tell Sasha that her blue eye shadow has her resembling Mimi. There are two shoulder straps and a top zip. I am pleasantly surprised that the bag is lined in suede, totally chic. Dimensions are 19"W X 17"H X 6"D. Pre-order through Saks for $975.

Head Hand Bag by Yael Mer



Twisted, surprising and controversial. Three attributes that guarantee success.Designer Yael Mer of Raw Edges is responsible for this unique piece. While our tPF members may find it creepy, I find it entirely brilliant. Apparently, the biblical story about Judith and Holofernes and its visual representation from the Renaissance were inspiration for the design of the bag. I can not relate to either the story, nor its representations from the fancy times of rebirth,Coach Madison Bags, but I think that this novelty bag adds great shock effect to spice up your daily wardrobe. You may have some explaining to do if a cop stopped you with a drawn gun, telling you to hand over possible homicide evidence,Coach OP Art Bags, but it's totally a risk I'd be willing to take! Not sure where to get it and for how much, you can probably find out by emailing.Would you wear it?

Fashion Week Handbags- 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2011



Unlike most of the collections presented at New York Fashion Week,coach diaper bags outlet, 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2011 didn't use red as its accent color. Instead, Lim chose a brilliant shade of cobalt for everything from neoprene clutches to leather hobo to the tiny arcs at the bottom of his models' manicures. And sometimes, when a trend is so pronounced and obvious, the best thing that you can do is buck it.Lim's bags were interesting beyond just his color choices,coach clearance, though. This collection marks a maturation in the brand as a source of stylish accessories,Coach Crossbodys, and the handbags (or what we can see of them) look as though they'll be pretty covetable come fall. Particularly the black leather north-south tote; the grained leather makes it look slouchier than the smooth leather versions currently available at retail.Photos via Vogue.com.

The Lotee Handbag by Leoluca



As spring starts to bloom around us, we have been spotting a sunny shade of yellow pop up all over the runways for spring 2012. Not only does this hue warm our spirits,coach diaper bags outlet, but it amps up any look and is easily paired with your work wardrobe neutrals.The Loteecross-body bag is featured here in a vibrant yellow and accented with golden hardware is just what the doctor ordered.Leoluca Hadbags, a California based company, has hit one of summer's biggest trends on the head with the Lotee bag.

Kooba Large Carla Bag with Braid



While braids are such a trademark of young girls, I never quite liked them. One reason may be because I hated letting my mom do my hair and I couldn't figure it out myself or even just that I was not good at making braids. As much as I am not a fan of hair braids for myself, I am not a fan of huge braids on a bag. The Kooba Large Carla Bag with Braid is a chestnut polished leather that is cinched at the top with a huge braided leather belt. No thanks. While the bag is described as bohemian chic,Coach Kristin Bags, I really just see a big awkward and stiff braid. Maybe the antiqued brass hardware accents the bag nicely; then again maybe the hardware is not enough. The shoulder strap is also braided,Coach Crossbodys, but it is the braid that brings the top of the bag together that I can not get over. It is so overpowering,coach handbags, especially since it ties in the front and finishes with tassels that are way too long. This bag measures 13" x 12" x 6.5" and maybe one of you likes it, who knows! Buy it via eLuxury for $650.

Man Bag Monday- Gucci A Go-Go



Page 1 of 6NEXTWhen we pick men's bags to write about, we usually try to find things that will appeal to a wide audience. Men in general are newer to this whole bag thing than women are, and although some of you guys are incredibly advanced and toting travel Birkins like it's your job, we think you'll agree that it's your slightly more stylistically challenged brethren who need our man bag guidance the most. For this Man Bag Monday, though,becoachoutlet.com, we'd like to offer you a few pieces that ought to appeal to the man bag veterans out there, and they're all Gucci.Gucci is among the few premier designer brands that's willing to go out on a limb with its men's accessories designs, both when it comes to color and detail. These designs aren't for the dudes who are worried that someone might mistake their bag for a purse,coach diaper bags outlet, but that's what makes them great - they're incredibly luxurious and highly detailed in a way that's not at all self-conscious of what a man “should” carry. Ladies,coach factory, I wouldn't blame you for picking up one of these designs for yourself either. I'd happily own any of them.Gucci Large Tote, $2250 via GucciPage 1 of 6NEXT

Kate Spade Sullivan St. Sybelia Flap Bag



Now, this is a shade of green that pops! I've never been to Ireland,coach handbags, but I have seen pictures. This is the shade of green I imagine everywhere I look, and I like it. Yet,Coach Satchels Bags, the color might be the only thing I like about the Kate Spade Sullivan St. Sybelia Flap Bag. I am sure there are plenty of you who are going to disagree with me on this. I imagine that this is one of those handbags where either you love it or you hate it, with a sprinkling of maybes. To me, the bag looks dated. I don't think there is a wide range when it comes to the age groups that would likely carry this bag. That's ok,coach outlet store online, but again, I am stuck on how I think it looks dated. The ivory-hued chain strap and goldtone turnlock might be a little too much for the otherwise simple and delicate handbag. Although it is a no-go for me, it doesn't have to be a no-go for you! Buy through Nordstrom for $425. Related StoriesKate Spade makes an elegant, neutral flap bagKate Spade Spring Island 2 Evan with RoseKate Spade Bow ToteKate Spade Carousel Naomi Bag

Gucci Aviatrix Boston Bag



If you could see my face right now, you would see a look of total shock. I can not recall the last few times Gucci has had me yearning or one of their handbags. There was a clutch recently that I liked, but other than that, I always pass by the Gucci store. Seeing the shop in Saks,coach.com, I walk right past it to Prada. It is a sad day when once avid lovers begin to be completely turned off. But Gucci is trying to get things together for fall, and there are a few handbags that mark the spot. Being on back order is a good sign, and the Gucci Aviatrix Boston Bag proves that it is worth waiting list of people coveting it. The staple bag,Coach Totes Outlet, the Boston, is re-done in gray ostrich with a gray velvet web and metal Gucci crest detail. Both hand held and gray are two of the biggest trends for fall, which makes this bag a hot commodity. Dimensions are 10 1/5"H x 15 3/4"W x 9"D. On back order at Neiman Marcus,coach coupons, but try your luck at a Gucci boutique or keep checking online. Cost is $9,300.

Jimmy Choo Fall Handbags



Jimmy Choo's Fall 05 line brings us two gorgeous pewter leather bags that make our eyes want to munch them whole, as they are pure eye candy! The Jimmy Choo Grommet Hobo (left) is made fully of quality bronze pewter metallic leather and golden hardware. Floral cutouts and grommets adorne the canvas while the shoulder strap is inset with metal rings. The top is open and is covered with an extended tab with a logo keeper. Buckled straps around the sides and base of the hobo complete the chic hobo bag. The Italian made bag can be pre-ordered at Bergdorf Goodman for $1,350. Similarly, the Jimmy Choo Grommet Flap Bag comes with the same features, though features a closed top and appears to be slightly larger.

Fashion Week Handbags- Marchesa Spring 2012



Images via Vogue.comWhile we wait for the Milan shows to start in earnest, now seems as good a time as any to post the small but very beautiful collection of bags that graced the runway for Marchesa Spring 2012. I know that bags are an afterthought for the gown-heavy line,Coach outlet, but they're always so beautiful and special that I really wish Marchesa would do more. Like,coach outlet online, lots more. One for every dress? Is that too much to ask?It probably is, so we'll have to deal with the four that the show gave us for the time being. For me,coach factory, the clear winner is the lunar-beaded blue-grey option at top, which is so pretty that I'd like to sit it on my desk and gaze at it longingly while I blog. Maybe I'll print out the picture, tape it to my wall and do the same thing. Check out the rest of the bags after the jump.

Fashion Week Handbags- Stella McCartney Spring 2011



Even though Stella McCartney doesn't use animal products in her bags, that hasn't stopped her line from becoming popular among celebrities and other notable fashion-influencers. McCartney is perhaps most well-known in handbag crowds for the punky, chain-detailed Falabella Bag of Fall 2009,coach bags outlet sale, but it looks as though the designer has gone in an entirely different direction for the handbags of Stella McCartney Spring 2011.With weathered “leather” and woven insets reminiscent of whicker furniture (and I mean that in the best way possible), McCartney took her handbag line in a decidedly traditional, 70s-inflected direction that called for lots of structure and intricate detail. What struck me the most,Coach Kristin Bags, though, was the smooth, luxurious-looking faux leather - every time I look at these photos, I have to remind myself that these bags aren't made of the materials that we're all used to carrying. In that context,Coach Satchels Bags, they're fine specimens indeed.Photos via Style.com.

Fashion Week Handbags- Valentino Spring 2012


,coach outlet store
Images via Vogue.comNow that shows have officially closed for the season and all the bags have been seen (by us,coach outlet online, anyway - we've still got some more posts for you guys!), I feel comfortable saying that Spring 2012 is probably going to be a bit of a boring season for accessories, at least compared to what we've grown used to recently. That being said, a few major designers who have been struggling to find their voices have stepped it up this season, at least when handbags are concerned.Valentino Spring 2012 is one such collection; I did a lot of complaining about the brand's Fall 2011 runway bags, but this group is altogether more refined and well-conceived than previous lines have felt. Some of last season's elements,Coach Madison Bags, including studded hand straps, can be found in these designs, but they're used in ways that feel more natural and functional. This is the collection that Valentino should have showed last season, but I'm glad they decided to show it at all.

Marc Jacobs Collection Quilted Cord Maggie Handbag


,Coach Bags Outlet
I have a closet crush on the Marc Jacobs Collection Quilted Cord Maggie! Marc's designs being eerily similar to one another is not a plus for him (reference the Karen which is the fraternal twin of this bag), but I still like this handbag. The plum suede body with leather trim would look perfect for winter. The way the top-stitching is done creates a corduroy effect. The (removable) chain link shoulder strap and Trompe l'oeil signature feature tortoiseshell and golden brass. Pocket wise,coach outlet coupon, this handbag has it all; including, a large center compartment with a zip pocket, open pockets for the front and back, and a zip pocket on the back of the purse. Measurements are 13" x 11.5" x 7",Coach Satchels Bags, and this color and bag is a sugar plum delight. Reduced from $2150 at eLuxury for $1500.

Prada Leather Envelope Bag


,becoachoutlet.com
You know something that really grinds my gears...when a store advertises a bag a certain way,cheap coach handbags, and then you later realize there are various parts you have to buy to make it look that way. I know it is all about presentation. But even online? You mean to tell me that online they do that too? Well they do. I ran into this Prada Leather Envelope Bag and thought it was so tastefully done. But read the specs a little further to see that the butterfly trick is sold separately. Is that not false advertisement?? (Ok it's not since they mention that it is sold separately but still the picture really got my hopes up high) The rest of the bag is really quite cute. It is made of gold leather,coach usa, with a detachable silver chain strap, and silver metal hardware. The dimensions of this little one are 5"H x 7 4/5"W. The leather bag is actually quite reasonably priced for Prada, $334 via Neiman Marcus, and the butterfly trick (which adds such a beautiful touch to the bag) is of course a whopping $138 also through Neiman Marcus.

Nancy's Lucky Bag


,coach diaper bags outlet
Fashion Herald has a recent post about Lucky Bags. I've never owed one,coach outlet online, or really seen anything that caught my eye until my beloved Nancy Botwin on Weeds started carrying around a beautiful slouchy hobo Lucky Bag. So of course now I want this bag so I can be just like Nancy (minus the selling pot part...).UPDATE: I do have this bag,cheap coach handbags!Before I even had a chance to post this entry I happened to pop into the Filene's Basement on Sixth Ave and there was Nancy Botwin's bag in a black and white patchwork pattern. It was love at first sight and I bought it for far less than the listed price. So far it is a great bag with my only complaint being that it only has one pocket in the inside. (I know I sound like a broken record on the pocket thing, but seriously why can't designers get this right?) I love how slouchy this bag is, the metal hardware, how comfortable it is to carry and most off all the patwork pattern in different shades of black and grey.

Fendi B Mix Baulotto Handbag



Oh Fendi, why do you do some of the things you do? Do you not realize that your bags are becoming overly laughable. So what, you went out on a limb. Your limb is hanging over a river infested with piranhas and your branch just broke. There you are,coach factory, getting eaten alive by the man-eating-fish. Time to sit out. Take a season off. Regroup. Then come back and give us something better. There was no need to also release the Fendi B Mix Baulotto Handbag with the faux-camo and Zucca print. Big F's take over the camo while small F's appear in the background. Take about Zucca overload. Even the handle is slathered with F's. Ok, we get it,Coach OP Art Bags, this is a Fendi bag. But to me it is nothing more than a fug bag. This is not even fugtastic,cheap coach handbags, merely fug. You have a group of followers that believe in you, so now make something to believe in. We don't need this overly logoized bag that does nothing but make our eyes burn. If you need to get back to basics, do it. But help yourself! Via eLuxury for $1220.

Sonia by Sonia Rykiel Studded Canvas Shoulder Bag


,Coach Classic Outlet
It seems as though many handbag lovers think Sonia Rykeil handbags are too much. I can understand this because there is always a lot going on with Sonia Rykiel bags. However, I am a huge fan. There was quite a bit of controversy when it came to the Sonia Rykiel Dita Shoulder Bag: I loved it, most others hated it. The other thing about these bags is that they usually come with a large price tag. So,coach diaper bags outlet, when I came across the Sonia by Sonia Rykiel line, I couldn't wait to see more. The Sonia by Sonia Rykiel Studded Canvas Shoulder Bag is actually a fairly cute canvas bag with a hint of glam. The soft grey cotton-canvas shoulder bag has a bit of sparkle from several silver-tone pyramid studs. I thought the black grosgrain bow was a bit out of place, but it's not a make or break kind of detail. When you look into the bag you will find animal print lining which is always fun. This isn't my favorite canvas bag out on the market,coach clearance, but it certainly isn't bad for day to day use. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $365.

Fashion Week Handbags- Dries Van Noten Fall 2011



If Spring 2011 is all about layers and combinations of bright colors, then Fall 2011 is shaping up to be all about layers and combinations of strong textures. Python, velvet, fur, tweed,becoachoutlet.com, wool, sequins, leather - the more materials you can pile on to an outfit,coach handbags outlet, the better,Coach Totes Outlet, and Dries Van Noten Fall 2011 will help you do that via your handbag.The prototypical Dries fall handbag is made of at least two materials and colors that vary as widely as cobalt velvet and splashy yellow python, sometimes all on the same bag. As outlandish as that my sound, the designer did a fantastic job of combining colors and materials in ways that are not only exceptionally wearable, but also germane to how modern women dress. To take such disparate and bold materials and make them work together in ways that are intensely appealing is nothing short of impressive.Photos via Vogue.com.

Bulga Janet Studded Bag



There are some colors that I think can be used throughout the entire year. Sure, the color might really pop during one season more than another, but none-the-less, the color works year round. Add that fabulous color to a tote-worthy bag and I am a happy camper. The Bulga Janet Studded Bag fits into this category. The coral leather is gorgeous. But, I definitely think it was a combination of how soft the leather looks and the color of the bag that really caught my eye. The gold plated hardware and studding spice up the bag nicely. Maybe it is because I live in a tropical climate,coach outlet online, but I don't see a problem sporting this bag now or even during the winter. This color could brighten up even the gloomiest winter day. I almost forgot to mention it,coach factory outlet, but the zipper tab is adorned with the ever so popular fringe,coach baby bags! Whether you are about to jump onto a motorcycle or head out for cocktails, this bag could totally work. Buy through Bluefly for $263.50.

Pre-order Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2012 handbags via Moda Operandi



Moda Operandi is great for a lot of reasons, but I like it for one of the less talked-about ones: It gives us the opportunity to see a bunch of non-runway accessories immediately following a brand's runway show,coach outlet store online, long before those images would normally find their way to public consumption. That's the case with MO's presale of Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2012 Handbags,Coach Poppy Outlet, which runs until March 1st.We all know about the somewhat underwhelming runway bags, but the collection really shines when you consider those pieces that didn't grace the runway. The oxblood red Marc by Marc Jacobs Irina Shoulder Bag, above, is totally lust-worthy. Thankfully,Coach Kristin Bags, though, Marc has stayed true to the brand's price range - all of the presale options are under $600. Check out the sale now via Moda Operandi, or take a look at all the options after the jump.

IĆ¢€™ve seen this WGACA Mini Bag BeforeĆ¢€¦ In Mexico


,Coach Totes Outlet
I feel like I've seen this bag before. No, scratch that. I know that I've seen it before. They're all over Mexico, sold by little street vendors and made of exquisitely thick leatherĆ¢€¦ so thick that the first few times the flap is opened, it has to be pried.But this bag is the WGACA Floral Leather Mini Bag,cheap coach handbags, not a bag from the streets. So is it a bad thing that it reminds me of a bag that I could buy in Puebla for less than 200 pesos (that's about 16 US dollars), or a good thing? I think it's good, mostly because I had a ton of those growing up. But maybe you don't want to get a bag for $118 that looks like it could be made for much less.In its defense, the ones in Mexico didn't have the awesome leather stitching at the corners,becoachoutlet.com, though they did have the embossed flowers and you could get your name burned on there. This bag, though, exudes the effortless, slightly western and boho aesthetic that What Goes Around Comes Around embraces. I, for one, am glad to see that unity. Buy through Shopbop for $118.

Rebecca Minkoff MAB Luxe Bag



Rebecca Minkoff MAB Luxe BagWhen we last interviewed Rebecca Minkoff,coach outlet store, she let us know that their was a new version of the highly sought after Morning After Bag (bag lover lingo: MAB). So out comes the dressed up sister of the MAB,coach factory outlet, the Rebecca Minkoff MAB Luxe Bag. Why we love this bag? It offers the same cool appeal of the MAB with extra additions; like the snap-flap and patch pockets at the front. The other major perk is the additional shoulder drop,Coach Bags Outlet, which totals 9". This will easily fit over winter coats, which was sometimes a problem with the Morning After Bag. There is tab and stud detail at the front and back along with a spring clasp detail at the sides. Now all you need to do is pick a color; dark brown or navy? The choice is hard, but I am a girl who loves her blues so I am all for the Navy. Buy through Shop Bop for $630.

Hermes photographs Kellys good enough to eat to celebrate its Kelly Picnic Bag



Photos via HermesWe've all heard the phrase “good enough to eat” used to describe a whole range of visually delectable non-edibles,coach factory outlet online, but it looks as though Hermes has taken the words to heart in celebration of its new Hermes Kelly Picnic Bag; the brand put together homages to the icnonic Kelly bag made out of all the foods you'd need for a proper outdoor meal. As you might have quessed,coach baby bags, the new Kelly Picnic is made out of the familiar woven wicker of a traditional picnic basket, only topped with a barenia leather flap and Kelly closure for that special Hermes touch. You can see it and the rest of the food Kellys after the jump, but considering the scorching heat that New York City endured this weekend, the oranges above are the most enticing of the bunch to me.

Sneak Peek- Nina Ricci Resort 2011 Handbags



Although French brand Nina Ricci has more of a niche following than some of the huge global powerhouses that we cover, its fans are no less devoted and its bags no less gorgeous. Ricci is known for its unabashed and unfettered Parisian girlishness, which makes for incomparably gorgeous ready-to-wear that's a favorite among fashion's big-budgeted elite. For those who don't have a day-to-day need for a cocktail dress made of delicately frayed grosgrain ribbon,coach diaper bags outlet, the Nina Ricci Resort 2011 offers a more functional option for those who want a piece of modern French femininity.This collection strikes me as more joyous than Ricci bags from the past, and the frills and frays seem easier and more natural. The brand's accessories department may well be hitting its stride,coach outlet store, and if this is a preview of the Spring 2012 line to come,Coach Crossbodys, I can't wait to see it.

Bottega Veneta Mini Woven Shoulder Bag



Yesterday, Megs wrote about a Bottega Veneta-ish bag that Kim Cattrall was carrying. Seeing the woven leather re-sparked my Bottega Veneta interest. I'm not a BV owner,coach factory outlet, but one of these days, yes,coach outlet coupon, one of these days I will be. The intrecciato weave that is used with BV bags is not only a signature feature but also absolutely timeless. The Bottega Veneta Mini Woven Shoulder Bag is yet another BV bag put together seamlessly. Whether you prefer the bag in white or black woven leather, the goldtone hardware pops either way. The stand out piece I really like? It would have to be the 14Ƃ½” shoulder strap. In addition to that, I love the top zipper closure. This bag is a bit different from other BV bags,coach outlet online, and this is a good thing. It would be a great bag to grab, throw over your shoulder and just go. Buy through Saks for $720.

J.Crew Cutout Mini Suede Bag



I'm working on being much more practical and fiscal. As much fun as it is to gawk at extravagantly expensive bags, it is also fun to wear reasonably-priced but still uuuuber cute bags. Today, while trying to find my monetarily 'smart' side, I found a gem at J. Crew. The J. Crew Cutout Mini Suede Bag is a beautiful handbag made of goat suede. Oooh-ie,Coach Purses Outlet! Have you ever heard of that?! Well,Coach Totes Outlet, not often at least. The intricate detail of the focal point is the cutout design on the front flap. The bag comes in three colors; vicuna,Coach Bags Outlet, harvest orange, and my fav (also shown) azalea. The hardware is solid brass with a brass finish, there is a front zip pocket, back-wall zip pocket, and printed lining. The size should be perfect for a smaller handbag: a 7" handle drop along with the actual bag's dimensions being 4 3/4"H x 7 5/8"W x 2 1/2"D. What I really love is the lower than low price.

Fashion Week Handbags- Hermes Spring 2011



It has often seemed as though Jean Paul Gaultier's favorite thing to do on the Hermes runway is riff on the classics that make the brand so iconic and successful,coach outlet store online, and Hermes Spring 2011, Gaultier's swan song with the brand, was a horse-tastic, S&M-tinged ode to exactly those tendencies. The handbags mostly stayed clear of the psychosexual leanings of clothing, but that isn't to say that they weren't interesting.If I told you that the bag to the left were actually made of real, honest-to-God crocodile,coach coupons, would you think I was lying? I wouldn't blame you if you did,coach factory outlet online, because I've never before encountered crocodile skin that I could see through, but Style.com seems to indicate that it's the genuine article.

L.A.M.B. Signature Crossbody Bag



I've been eying this bag for quite some time now. Initially I passed it by because nothing really jumped out and said “I need this” just as nothing jumped out and said “ewwww”. Yet, each time I come across it, I find myself stopping and looking for a while. L.A.M.B. designs are usually blatantly recognizable,coach diaper bags outlet, but this one isn't and I think that is part of the reason I like it so much. The L.A.M.B. Signature Crossbody Bag is actually a well executed crossbody bag without looking cumbersome or bulky. If you happen to have any chest at all,coach handbags outlet, even the smallest crossbody bag can hit you all wrong. Yet, in this case, the size, shape, and design all come together to make me think I might be able to pull this bag off. After days,coach usa, maybe even weeks of deliberation, this is a bag I really like. Buy through Nordstrom for $185.

Want it Wednesday- Alexander McQueen Cites Chanter Python Hobo Bag



Whenever I see an intense cobalt blue bag,coach factory, I am in love. If someone asked my favorite color,Coach Classic Outlet, I would explain to them that a very vibrant and bold electric blue always gets me. That is why tracking down the perfect Celine Mini Luggage Tote was one of my biggest accomplishments in the handbag world to date. When I opened up Net-A-Porter.com today, I got that same feeling of joy upon seeing another pretty blue bag. But this is not a Celine bag,Coach Purses Outlet, it is an Alexander McQueen bag. To further my love, the Alexander McQueen Cites Chanter Hobo Bag is designed with supple matte python skin which is my favorite way to see the skin used. DROOL.Unlike many Alexander McQueen bags, this hobo is rather subdued in its design, offering a very classic over the shoulder shape.

Bag Battle- Jil Sander Spring Market Bags



The Jil Sander Market bag may be entirely simplistic,coach usa, but the design continues to garner attention. Amanda compared this bag to Maison Martin Margiela already and now I am going to have this Jil Sander bag battle itself. With many renditions coming out, it is time to hear what you all think. The simple design appeals to a large crowd, which shows that not everyone craves massive amounts of additional hardware,Coach 2012 Outlet, tassels, and straps. Above is the floral print silk twill, bright pink leather,Coach Satchels Bags, and green and white striped silk twill versions.

Tory Burch Nashe Messenger Bag



First of all,Coach OP Art Bags, I have Anna to thank for my new found appreciation of messenger bags. Honestly, before she started working with us, I just really wasn't a fan. Maybe this was because messenger bags just never really did anything for me. And perhaps I wrote them off a while back and never moved along as designs changed and improved. Today is Monday, and since it is the beginning of the week, what better time to start-a-new than now? It is pretty simple folks, I am a fan of the Tory Burch Nashe Messenger Bag. This folded canvas messenger bag might look a bit ordinary if it wasn't for the logo medallion, leather banding,coach coupons, wooden disc and leopard-print enamel which surrounds the medallion. Typically,Coach outlet, I would say a white messenger bag might get too dirty too soon, but this is one I might take extra good care of, sling over my shoulder and sport it proudly.

Fashion Week Handbags- Louis Vuitton Spring 2011


,coach outlet online
In hindsight, perhaps last season's demure, ladylike Louis Vuitton show should have tipped us off that Louis Vuitton Spring 2011 would be a wild, colorful ride through safari and Asian kitsch. Creative director Marc Jacobs doesn't like to go in any one direction for more than a few moments at a time, and a collection with a strong point of view is always a good indication that the next collection will be just as strong,coach purses, but in the opposite direction.Instead of last season's dozens of neutral variations on the classic Speedy theme, Vuitton gave us loud,coach clearance, colorblocked clutches and small shoulder bags that screamed in artfully clashing technicolor. Logos were visible (this is Louis Vuitton, after all), but other than a few clutches that proclaimed VUITTON in all capitals, the famous monogram was less obtrusive than it usually is in the average LV collection. These bags will surely leave some heads shaking, particularly among clients who saw Fall 2010 as a possible return to the brand's roots, but they're exactly on trend and so cheerful that I can't help but like them.Photos via Vogue.com and Style.com.

West-Feren McCoy Bag


,coach purses
Well, there is something I like about this bag yet I can't quite put my finger on it. I do like the tan leather color and the gold hardware. So, that's a start. The West/Feren McCoy Bag is a versatile bag that can be carried by someone young or someone a bit older. Yes,Coach Crossbodys, I think that is what has pulled me in with this bag, the versatility. While some of you might be hoping for the stud trend to end sooner rather than later, I don't think it is going anywhere anytime soon. Yet, since it has been at the forefront for a bit now, at least designers are starting to realize what works and what looks simply ridiculous. The diamond-shaped studs at the front of the bag along with a metal ring and snap closure at the flap front pocket work well together. From the picture at hand you would never know there is a detachable shoulder strap option, but alas, there is. Per usual, I wouldn't use the shoulder strap,Coach OP Art Bags, instead I'd opt for the double rolled handles. Buy through Shopbop for $585.
