Swarovski Encrusted Samsonite Trunk
Filed under: Handbags
I’m going on a trip next week and although I’d love to have a new stylish suitcase I think this Swarovski Crystal Trunk by Samsonite Black Label is a bit over-the-top for my taste. Modeled after a popular 1920s style and covered from top to bottom in sparkling, glittering crystals, this trunk is […]

Certainly 7 for All Mankind has created some beautiful, chic and comfortable jeans but handbags? I wasn’t so sure but I have to say, I like it! This patent leather and canvas satchel in subtle gray hues features a zig-zag pattern along the handles and outer rim with a splash of raspberry. The […]

Miu Miu Cutout Bowling Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
If this bag reminds you of a smokey bowling alley and ill-fitting, overused bowling shoes than this won’t be your cup o’ tea. But personally I like the retro-chic, mod look of Miu Miu’s Cutout Bowling Bag. It may be a bit of a literal spin-off of its name but the neutral, simple […]

I love the kissing-mouth shape of the overlapping layers and the subtlety of the Versace name only noticeable by the small plate and 7″ intertwined chain […]
