Filed under: Handbags
The Devi Kroell Accordion bag is delicately sized at 12″ x 8 1/4″ x 4 3/4″, the perfect size for a boxy little purse. When box-shaped purses get too small, they look twee, and when too large, they appear to be luggage.
The expanding, accordion-style design of this bag exudes “functionality,” which makes it […]
Chloé Paraty Lambskin Shopping Satchel, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
The Chloé Paraty Lambskin Shopping Satchel is classically luxurious with a modern, triangular shape.
The polished black lambskin and polished brass chain link hardware give the medium-sized (15½”W X 10″H) purse a vintage feel, but the tapering of the details on the outside of the bag make the look new. The bag is lined […]

Burberry Check Print Canvas Shopper
This fresh interpretation of an old classic proves exactly why Burberry stands apart from the crowd. The Check Print Canvas Shopper is surprisingly elegant looking for something made with canvas.

Remember back in the mid 90’s when Prada came out with nylon backpacks and handbags and not too long after that Kate Spade came out with her collection of nylon bags? I may have my dates and order of occurrences wrong but for all the handbag addicts out there I’m sure you […]

Bottega Veneta Printed Canvas Tote, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
I’m not usually one to like orange but this is a bag I could certainly see myself carrying around on a daily basis. It’s the Bottega Veneta Printed Canvas Tote and I love it because it’s earthy and almost a neutral, while it manages to also be very styled and vibrant. Net-a-Porter advertises […]
