Madonna & Her Louis Vuitton Mahina XL Purse
Forget Uma and Oprah - it’s Madonna and Mahina time! The Material Girl lived up to her name (er, almost literally) by toting this mega-expensive moon-inspired Louis Vuitton Mahina XL handbag. This is one of my favorite Louis Vuittons, partly because I’m a sucker for black designer handbags that offer some semblance of versatility, and […]
Leopard Print Box Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
In a turn away from the soft, slouchy, and often puffy bags that always seem to overrun the springtime runways this Leopard print box clutch by Roberto Cavalli is a glamorous and sleek alternative. Multicolored leopard print resin is paired with gold hardware and a golden chain handle. The design is very minimalistic, […]
Coach Bonnie Foldover Crossbody
It bears a slightly resemblance to Foley and Corinna’s City Tote, but this Coach Bonnie Foldover Crossbody still manages to hold its own. The practical shape alone makes it worth the money - it can be filled up to near capacity and swung over the shoulder, or folded at the crease and tucked beneath the […]
McQueen Wishbone Shopper, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
How can you not love a bag that’s described as “fringed and fabulous?” This Leather Woven Wishbone Shopper by Alexander McQueen earns that description and as a result must be carried with bold confidence or you won’t be able to pull it off. The large slouchy shape of woven leather is accented with […]
Gucci D Gold Medium Tote
Looks like Gucci is going 24k. The luxe label’s latest handbags for fall - including this Gucci D Gold Medium Tote - have landed at Neiman Marcus, and the color scheme is gold, gold, gold. Unfortunately, I’d trade some of that Fort Knox grandeur for originality and fashion-forward thinking. Whereas Louis Vuitton goes a fantastic […]
Zagliani Small Puffy Python Satchel, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
The Small Puffy Python Satchel by Zagliani is perfect for those who want to carry some glitz and glam without necessarily loading up on jewels, sequins, or Swarovski crystals. It’s a little bag, barely bigger than most clutches, but it has a cute puffy shape with a boxy top and a loop handle […]
Fendi Python-Print Shopper
Sometimes you stumble upon a designer handbag that’s so wrong it’s right. The Fendi Python-Print shopper, in all its psychedelic snakeskin glory, just might be one of those bags. Though boldly skirting the borders of tackiness with its rainbow-effect print, the purse charms me because a) tie-dye is a big trend right now, and if […]
Lanvin Reporter Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
It’s not too often you see black and navy paired together but they are in this leather Reporter Bag by Lanvin. A large black patent leather zip pocket sits on the front of a square navy leather main compartment (in a ‘little bag stuck on a bigger bag’ sort of way) with piping […]
Carlos Falchi Floral Poof Tote, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Here’s a great feminine, flirty neutral tote from Carolos Falchi. The Floral Poof Tote is made of beige python leather accented with a big “bouquet” of brown, beige, silver, and white flower appliques which make this otherwise plain bag a real outfit accessory as opposed to just a purse. The top cinches loosely […]
Burberry Prorsum Willow Leather Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Described as perfect for spring, this bag is certainly perfect for the current season but I think it will also work wonderfully all year round. Classically neutral and a little flashy, this Burberry Prorsum Willow Leather Clutch does not come with a detachable shoulder strap (a rarity!) but instead a wristlet-like handstrap with […]
