Pirouette Leather Pouch Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Feminine and slouchy, but without sacrificing anything in the way of serious evening glamor, this Pirouette Leather Pouch Bag by Temperley London can be worn as a small shoulder bag or carried by hand as a cute little clutch. Coral leather is dolled up with golden embroidered fish scales, a metallic gold leather bow that cinches the drawstring top closed through eyelet ring openings, and a large-link gold chain shoulder strap with hook fastenings. All that and the interior is fulling lined in shimmery-beige satin twill. $360

Prada Rete Metal Evening Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Every once in awhile we find a beautiful bag that isn’t made out of the usual materials of fine leather and exotic skins. This Prada creation, the Rete Metal Evening Bag doesn’t just feature silvertone hardware — it’s made up of it entirely. This ‘defined frame’ bag has a chain mail body with no lining (so be warned: everyone will be able to see everything you put in it) and acrylic resin accents that look like enormous jewels perched on the kiss-lock closure and all along the chain shoulder strap. Simple but also amazing and striking. $2,100

Matthew Williamson To Create Handbags For Bulgari
Filed under: Handbags
Bulgari has designed ultra-pricey handbags for a while but they haven’t had an official designer at the helm. Vogue UK reports that the Italian jewelry brand has tapped British fashion designer Matthew Williamson to design a handbag collection for spring/summer 2011. The capsule collection will be shown during Milan Fashion Week in September. Williamson is known for his exuberant sense of color which eventually led to his stint as creative director at Pucci. In a press release Bulgari’s CEO Francesco Trapani commented: “We chose Matthew Williamson for the great sense of color and design he brings to his work which resonates with our brand’s rich history”.

Paris Fashion Week - Louis Vuitton RTW Fall 2010
In the age of digital speed, Avatar and cyber-shopping, it seems like everything is racing for the future. Marc Jacobs on the other hand, brought Louis Vuitton’s Fall Ready to Wear collection back in the other direction. The clothing had very conservative silhouettes. Super-elongated jackets, hair pulled back, faded vintage florals. A few country plaids. The style evoked Chloe Sevigny’s character in HBO’s “Big Love” or a depression-era schoolteacher. Colors were muted, dusty. The shapes were still quite feminine, and a few pieces looked like the schoolmarm wanted to break out in the vintage patterned corset styling.
The handbags had some of the muted mustards. Some of the quilted monagram pieces had dusty pastels that worked back to the clothing. Some bags had very luxurious fur worked into the bag (I’m seeing a big comeback in fur across most of the Paris collections). Dark appliqued blocked florals were also seen on many of the handbags as well, with lace and hand-painted crocodile texture.

Hilary Duff Gets Fit With Fendi
Hilary Duff has some heavy lifting in store for her — and we’re not talking about her gorgeous pinkish-beige Fendi Camelia handbag or that massive engagement ring she’s sporting. The star suited up in a red workout top to hit the gym, and couldn’t resist bringing her Fendi purse along as a fabulous gym bag substitute. Can’t say I blame her!

Daisy Lowe’s New Louis Vuitton Campaign
Going through a Louis Vuitton withdrawal? Desperate for some sun? Well, I can’t change the weather but I can reveal this sunny new ad for Louis Vuitton swimwear, which stars model Daisy Lowe and some delicious pink and purple Murakami handbags. The jolt of color is just what I need to get in the summer mindset, and I can’t wait to pair these purses with a chic sundress (or LV bikini if I can swing it). How about you?

Sarah Jessica Parker Breaks Free with a Balencianga Purse
Balenciaga may not be a fan of French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld — she was reportedly banned from their Paris show — but relations with Sarah Jessica Parker seems to be on the up and up. The actress headed out with a beautiful Balenciaga handbag on her arm, adding a nice designer accent to an otherwise ho-hum outfit.
