L.A.M.B. Hawke Ceylon Satchel, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags, Celebrity Design
New from the impossibly versatile Gwen Stefani, the L.A.M.B. Hawke Ceylon Satchel is bright and bold with an unusual color pairing: beigey-gold and fire engine red.
L.A.M.B. is actually becoming known for odd-and-off-color choices, as well as expertly made, sturdy bags with great lines. We love the sporty double stripe down the middle, and the way the piping on the sides curves like the heel of a tennis shoe. It’s rare to see a bag this bold that would dress down so perfectly.
To dress this bag up, we recommend removing the shoulder strap (it looks better without it anyway) and pairing this with an outfit that incorporates neither color — preferably white or a neutral shade (it would look a little Hot Topic with black). Got patent red shoes? This is the bag with which to wear them, and don’t skimp on the red lipstick, either.
The L.A.M.B. Hawke Ceylon Satchel is available from Neiman Marcus for $495.00.

Khloe Kardashian Glams It Up with Louis Vuitton
Mmmmmmmm, something tells me this photo was a wee bit staged. But that’s cool - Khloe Kardashian looks killer in her Audrey-gone-sexy trench, wide-brimmed hat, and Louis Vuitton/Stephen Sprouse pink graffiti handbag. I love the modern twist against her classic outfit…a little bit of ’80s pop mixed with ’50s starlet. Nicely done.

Justin Timberlake Rolls Out with Louis Vuitton
We know he’s got his own William Rast line, but it took this photo of Justin Timberlake pulling his Louis Vuitton luggage (love the gray) to tell us that, yep, JT is a fashionisto. Louis Vuitton seems to be the gateway drug for male celebs and their designer man bags - Kanye West has gotten down with the camo, Usher’s been out with the traditional monogram. Just goes to show that love for Louis knows no gender!

Carlos Falchi Oversized Python Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Here’s a clutch that’s a little different than what I normally pick out — it’s luxe and glamorous but in an edgier, more organic way. It’s the Oversized Python Clutch by Carlos Falchi and it has a very tribal vibe with the multi-colored hands showing off their large rings of brightly colored jewel appliques. Thanks to its neutral color palette this bag will go with quite a few outfits, although it’s a bold piece that probably shouldn’t be paired with too many other patterns or you could end up looking way too ‘busy.’ $1,510

Filed under: Handbags
When summer arrives who doesn’t want a light neutral bag with a hint of golden coloring? Yves Saint Laurent pairs classic design, including a signature ‘Y’ inset, with this airy beige hue creating a truly sunny handbag. The large double-bow ruffle detail adds femininity without employing overstated glitz or glam. The Y-Bow Bowler is subtley sophisticated which could accompany any ensemble from dark jeans and a great top to a simple summer dress. The amande (gold) calf leather is luxurious and the two top handles make it easy to carry along throughout the day or night. Available for $1,795 at Bergdorf Goodman.

Michael Kors Runway Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Woo! I love this pink. How can you not? Hot pink has been popular for ages and here it is done up nice and classy by Michael Kors in sleek patent leather and contemporary silver hardware. The top is framed and opens on a hinge, with nothing more than a tiny logo embossed on the top closure. And if neon isn’t your thing (although you might want to take a look at the “Day Glo Orange” and “Acid Yellow” options before you decide) there’s also more subdued “Espresso” and even a python skin option. Runway Clutch: $595.

Jessica Simpson Doubles Up with Louis Vuitton & Alexander McQueen Handbags
Why carry one designer bag when you can carry two? Jessica Simpson once again brought out her favorite new leaf-adorned Alexander McQueen purse, but must have felt underdressed. The solution? A Louis Vuitton dog-carrier for her pup Daisy, of course! It’s a little OTT, and I’m still not sold on the McQueen, but I do dig Jessica’s pretty blue dress and shorter ‘do. And hey, if I were a dog, I certainly wouldn’t mind traveling in style.

Elsie Lamé Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Here’s a pretty dose of neutral glam in the form of the Lamé Shoulder Bag by Chloé. Golden hues and opulence in every inch is the name of game here, with a simple fold-over design enhanced by subtle details like a delicate gold-tone double chain shoulder strap, logo-embossed (and uniquely designed) turnlock front closure, and shaped with just a couple of decorative seams to break the pattern of the fabric and add some interest. Lined in nude leather with a single interior pocket also featuring the Chloé logo. $1,250

McQueen Knuckle Duster Patent Leather Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
I’ve never considered a handbag could double as a self-defense mechanism, unless it had a brick inside or something equally heavy, but Alexander McQueen’s Knuckle Duster Patent Leather Clutch would certainly bring more than a slap to an unwelcome visitor’s body. Accenting the top ridge of this richly covered bag are skull and crystal rings in dark colors adding a subtle bit of glamour. The bag does feature more than protective embellishments such as a clasp closure, metal frame and leather lining.
Have you ever put your thumb through a ring connecting your handbag’s handle to the body of the bag for protection from muggers along a busy street? Well just slip your fingers through these rings atop your clutch and I’d bet you’d deter any interested parties from attempting to swipe your clutch now. Enough violent fun for one day…
(7″ x 41/2″ x 2″ for $1,595 at Saks)
