Kim Kardashian with her Balenciaga Giant Clutch
Usually Kim Kardashian goes for the more…ahem, loud handbags, but maybe she’s growing up, or just plain toning it down with this Balenciaga Giant Clutch. One of my absolute favorite designer handbags, this clutch is roomy enough for everything you need for a night (or day) out. While the old Bal clutches with regular hardware […]

Gwyneth Paltrow has been named the new face of Italian luxury goods brand Tod’s in the wake of a short film she made for them which just debuted at Cannes. The ad campaign, shot by Mario Testino in Capri aboard dashing Tod’s CEO Diego Della Valle’s yacht, portrays “the uber luxurious, […]
Breakfast with Louis Vuitton
This past Thursday, Mariana and I were invited to an intimate breakfast hosted by Louis Vuitton’s CEO of North America, Daniel Lalonde. While Mariana made it to the event with a little bit of mingling time to spare, I snuck in just as everyone was being seated (yes, I’m chronically tardy but in my […]
Fendi Bag De Jour Canvas
Offering a vastly different perspective of the basic canvas bag, this version of the Fendi Bag De Jour is remarkably glamorous and pulled together. It has a cool downtown chic vibe and would look perfectly at home with a suit and heels. Some shiny details - black patent leather and brass hardware, namely - add […]

Balenciaga is well known for creating avant-garde bags, their designs are always on the cutting edge of fashion and as far as quality, their extraordinary craftsmanship is unsurpassed.

Filed under: Handbags

They’ve re-invented the crocodile purse countless times, each one builds on the last design and looks more fabulous than it’s predecessor. This years bright purple structured handbag is my favorite Zagliani yet. I […]
Fendi Chain Baguette Clutch
It won’t do much more than act as a partner for your dressiest ensembles, but this dripping-in-gold Fendi Chain Baguette Clutch is ideal when you crave the highest order of metallic glitz. It’s a bit over the top for my personal tastes, but if you’re after a clutch that’s functional and bold, this is it. […]

Mischa Barton toting a Fendi concoction
Mischa Barton does the boho look oh-so-well. She’s tall, blonde, and has the European heir to her, so she can rock it. It’s no wonder she can get away with carrying this Fendi purse and not look like a total fool (as yours truly might). I love any version of the Fendi baguette because it […]
Balenciaga Stringray Clasp Handbag
I had a chance to play with this bag a bit the other day and I can confidently say that the pictures just don’t do it justice. Pairing bold shots of color with an understated background palette, this Balenciaga Stingray Clasp Bag has a downtown chic, ladylike mod feel. The chain link handles are by […]
