Gucci ‘Joy’ Medium Boston Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Whether intended to make a statement about global warming, or simply a whimsical dream of snowmen and elephants living together in harmony, this Joy Medium Boston Bag by Gucci is certainly fun. The color scheme is bright but still mostly neutral, and the white leather trim gives it a very spring-y vibe. And […]
Lanvin Aumoniere Satin Pochette, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Lanvin’s Aumoniere Satin Pochette is inspired by vintage glamour and it shows. It’s entirely black save the large fuschia poof placed slightly off-center near the top and a white logo label on the inside. The satin body closes with a draw-string and has a textured goldtone chain shoulder strap. One small interior pouch […]
Mabel Lace Miss Mark Tote, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Here’s a girly tote if there ever was one. It’s Marc by Marc Jacobs‘ Mabel Lace Miss Mark Tote, and it literally features a funky little ‘girly girl’ on the front. Lots of bright, crisp white make it seem spring-y, which honestly I’m more than ready for, while blues and grays make up […]
Jimmy Choo Mandah Medium Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Any bag that does double the duty becomes a must-have for most women. Take the Jimmy Choo Mandah Medium Shoulder Bag for instance — a compact teal calf leather and suede handbag expands to reveal a Swarovski crystal, gold- and silver-tone stud-embellished panel offering more space within to suit your growing needs throughout […]

It’s the weekend and you want to feel relaxed yet put together. Why not pair your favorite designer jeans and equestrian boots with Chloé’s Marcie Small Leather Hobo in vibrant vermilion. This deep red calf leather bag has a twisted leather handle, exquisite stitching details, hidden pockets both under the outer flap and […]
Marni Studded Leather Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Studs continue to pop up everywhere, and although the concept remains the same designers are getting creative with the details. The Marni Studded Leather Bag has large, flat studs (like finely shined thumbtacks) lined up in rows over gray leather. Instead of the expected “biker chic” vibe that would normally come from a […]

Christie’s and Gucci have partnered on a new website, Gucci Collector, where people can upload vintage items and get an appraisal. Christie’s and Gucci are both part of the luxury megagroup PPR. Christie’s […]
Prada Foulard-Print Roll Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
A pretty, very busy, Prada in a cylindrical roll bag style. Silk twill (inside and out) with signature saffiano calfskin trim, this Foulard-Print Roll Bag is sure to catch the attention (and envy) of those around you. This bag will pair well with most anything as it already kinda clashes with itself. Hearts […]
Jimmy Choo Ina Nappa Leather Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
I have to admit, this Ina Nappa Leather Clutch by Jimmy Choo makes me laugh. Which is strange because I don’t necessarily dislike it. I think it’s the combination of such a bright, almost flourescent, shade of yellow and all that fringe. It’s the kind of bag that I’d love to hate but […]
Christian Louboutin Swarovski-Embellished Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
The iridescent Strass Swarovski-embellished clutch by Christian Louboutin skillfully blends soft angles and a flexible, supple frame with the hard edges of finely cut crystals arranged in tightly packed rows. There’s not a single visible surface, save the bright red lining, that isn’t covered in beautiful Swarovski bling. Sure to catch the light, […]
