Dossier Artist Tote, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Dossier, the bi-annual arts and culture mag, has corralled some of its favorite artists, musicians and stylists (including Zac Posen and Fanny Bostrom) to hand-craft 150 limited edition totes. The bags make use of a variety of techniques: woodblock prints, quilting, collage and photo transfers. Each piece is signed by the artist, and […]
Anya Hindmarch Charlie Ponyskin Tote, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
This bag is the Charlie Ponyskin Tote by Anya Hindmarch and my favorite thing about it is the unexpectedly athletic canvas shoulder strap. It’s a chocolate leather bag with gold hardware and a very structured, rectangular shape. The relaxed canvas strap with sporty stripe gives it a suddenly hip and somewhat casual vibe […]
Fendi Vintage Leather Baguette
Grannys everywhere, rejoice: this Fendi Vintage Leather Baguette has your name written all over it. The old-fashioned structure is a throwback to the ladylike styles of the ’50s, very quiet and unfussy with minimal detail and only a touch of hardware. Of course, a little update is necessary to appeal to today’s modern woman, and […]
Chloé Joan Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
This Chloé Joan Shoulder bag evokes feelings of both practicality and fun. You’ve gotta love a top that cinches up like this one does, and the equestrian inspired hardware, plus the colors are nice and neutral for fall without being boring. Opens at the top, of course, but it also has a somewhat […]
Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Alma GM
I love a pearly white handbag as much as the next girl, but if you want to fit in this fall you might want to switch up your color palette. Along with the usual black, gray, and brown suspects, vibrant jewel tones and richer harvest-y hues like burgundy are in vogue this season, and Louis […]
Elliott Lucca ‘Portia Ombre’ Pocket Shopper, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
This patent leather shopper reminds me of autumn with its ombré shading and earthy tones. Plus there is something about patent leather that seems to mix well with colder weather — probably just a childhood link with patent leather shoes and winter celebrations. In any case, the Elliott Lucca ‘Portia Ombré’ Pocket Shopper […]
Prada Royal Calf Clutch
The perfect piece to infuse a little majestic class into your wardrobe, this unique Prada Royal Calf Clutch stands out in the crowd. It’s not so much the gorgeous pale lavender color, although that has a sort of ethereal quality that’s hard not to love, but the star-shaped pleating that lends the bag its unconventional […]
Tara Reid & Her Louis Vuitton Multicolore Marilyn Exotic
Tara Reid needs all the support she can get (in more ways than one, judging from the looks of things in this photo), so I, of course, am going to focus on that bold little purse she’s showing off. Part of an exclusive collection that’s limited to just a few pieces in the world, the […]
Matthew McConaughey’s Sweetheart Launches Muxo Handbag Line
Filed under: Handbags, Celebrity Shopping
Normally I would say that any girlfriend of a major star like Matthew McConaughey who launches a handbag line is only looking for free publicity and easy money (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but in the case of Camila Alves things seem to be a lot different. Not only […]
Heidi Montag Flashes the Fendi
Uh oh. Is Speidi about to become…Spy-di? After waving her Hermes bags all over Hollywood, Heidi Montag, that “Hills” gal you love to hate, has turned her eye to the Fendi Spy (and, if my eyes aren’t failing me, it looks like she’s already got an electric-blue Chanel purse on her arm already). Seriously - […]
