Kooba Tied Convertible Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags
The Tied Convertible Hobo bag by Kooba has such a relaxed feeling to it I can’t seem to picture it with anything other than a cute pair of jeans. Available in several different colors (including classics white and black) this lilac version isn’t too bright that you can’t almost treat it as a […]

Dakota Fanning & Her Balenciaga Arena Giant Purse

I must be getting old if Dakota Fanning of all people is suddenly old enough to own her own Balenciaga.

Though the handbag looks almost as big as […]

The bag is made of jeweled cotton twill and features a cutesy graphic print of a girl advertising ‘PEACE RIGHT NOW’ on her numerous handbags. Crinkle patent leather trim, interior […]
