Donna Karan Eldridge Plisse Hobo, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
The Donna Karan Eldridge Plisse Hobo is a true accomplishment in modern craftsmanship.
The pale golden Italian calf leather is pleated as elegantly as if it were satin, creating a sleek, shiny, relaxed effect. The pleats cascade from contrasting round button details, and can even be folded in at the sides to achieve a […]
Gucci Techno Horsebit Flap Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Wow, this Techno Horsebit Flap Bag is so beautiful in the photo that I hope it’s not a let-down in person! I’m sure it’s not, as it is a Gucci after all. Smooth white leather meets shiny nickel hardware and lots of detailed stitching, insets, and panels going every which way. It has […]
Ashley Greene Grabs Her Gucci Hysteria Purse
Now don’t get hysterical — get Hysteria. Gucci’s Hysteria handbag, to be exact, which “Twilight” star Ashley Greene showed off along with a black zipper-print top and high-waist jeans. The purse is a stunner thanks to its two round gold medallions and black leather (which I prefer to the monogram option). What do you think?

Valentino Small Glamorous Tote, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Where tote bag versatility meets evening bag glamour, it’s nothing other than a Valentino. The Small Glamorous Tote is covered in shiny black nappa leather and glimmering paillettes in sizes from small to large. Hand-embroidered flowers in bright, 3-dimensional pastels seem to jump off the design and Swarovski crystals and jet beads embellish […]
Basil Racuk - Bags for Real Men
Filed under: Handbags, Men’s Style
In a world where men seem to have few choices for truly stylish, yet manly bags, Basil Racuk is breaking the (manbag) mold. While some men helplessly carry a tote or messenger bag, or, god help them, a backpack, the choices for men of taste have been somewhat limited to briefcases […]
Stephanie Woven Leather Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Diane Von Furstenberg went a little ‘hippie chic’ with this creation, the Stephanie Woven Leather Clutch. It’s generously sized for a clutch at 11″ x 6″ x 3″ but manages not to look clunky thanks to an elongated shape and pleasantly distracting texture and tassel. That texture comes from multicolored metallic leather woven […]
Coach Peyton Inlaid C Tote, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
I have nothing against Coach but I’m not usually a fan of their big C logos and patterns, except on this Peyton Inlaid C Tote it’s actually attractive. It could be the earthy and feminine colors (I don’t like it nearly as much in black and white) or just a lucky arrangement of […]
Miu Miu Lurex Jeweled Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
This is how pastels look in the winter, chunky and a little rugged but not without their usual delicate and feminine air. Miu Miu mixes lavender and turquoise with shades of gold and gray in the Lurex Jeweled Shoulder Bag, all contrasted against a background of stark white. Quilted jacquared with a gold […]
Salvatore Ferragamo Soft Cesar Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
The Salvatore Ferragamo Soft Cesar Clutch is a quirky and attractive steel-colored masterpiece.
After a long 2009 of safe choices by most well-known designers, this unusual style from an established house is a welcome surprise. The soft natural-grain calfskin is gently tucked at the corners by striking silver rings. The flap top is accented […]
Cole Haan Felicity Zip Tote, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
The Cole Haan Felicity Zip Tote is a plump, appealing bag with an easy sophistication.
This glamorous tote is part lacquer red leather and part suede, in seductively revealed zipper folds. Feeling prim? Zip them up. Feeling saucy? Unzip and let it all hang out.
We love the equestrian lines adorned in shiny goldtone […]
