Christian Louboutin Spike Studded Shopper

November 20th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in Handbags

I feel like there should be a sign reading, “Beware! Do Not Touch!” on this handbag. This Christian Louboutin Spike Studded Shopper certainly has a lot of bite, thanks to its spiky trim. It’s like carrying around a cactus for a purse. The purse also features suede trim and patent …

Victoria Beckham Snags Louis Vuitton’s Fox Tail Fur Messenger Bag for Spring 2010

November 19th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in Handbags

Seeing Victoria Beckham without an Hermes purse is like seeing Crocodile Dundee without an animal skin, but I guess the starlet makes exceptions for Louis Vuitton. And apparently they make exceptions for her. Beckham’s massive (for her, at least) Louis Vuitton Fox Tail Fur Tassels Messenger Bag is from the …

Burberry Lizzie Handbag | Nappa Leather Convertible Studded Purse

November 19th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in Fashion, Handbags

Burberry is one of those labels I love to hate. I get tired of the brand’s iconic plaid purses, but when it steps out of the box the designs tend to fall flat. But Burberry seems to have gotten it right with the Lizzie. And there’s not a hint of tartan in sight!

Instead the Lizzie features those on trend studs we’re seeing so much of lately. The purse is virtually covered in them, but by keeping the metal small Burberry ensures the hardware doesn’t get overwhelming. Plain diagonal leather strips break up the design, and are mirrored in the V-shaped pleats in the center of the purse.

The studs may be modern, but the size isn’t. The Lizzie bucks the contemporary taste for oversized bags, and I think it works. Those studs may have overwhelmed on a larger canvas after all. Instead we get a purse which is large enough for carrying everyday essentials but doesn’t weigh us down.

With the strap, the Lizzie is a cute daytime bag. But remove it and you’ve got one sexy little clutch for your next cocktail party. That day to night versatility makes the epic $2150 price a little easier to swallow.

  • Fabric lined interior

Bulgari Dalia Shoulder Bag | Elegant Hobo Style Calf Leather Purse

November 19th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in Fashion, Handbags

Bulgari’s Dalia bag has been spotted on the arms of Jessica Alba, Eva Mendes, and Frieda Pinto. But it’s not hard to see why. The relaxed hobo-like slouch of buttery soft leather combines with the simple, sophisticated design makes this Bulgari purse the ideal day-to-night accessory.

This is one bag that gives us options, although none of them are exactly cheap. This ebony calf leather Dalia is one of the most affordable at $2100. If your budget can stretch further you may consider the Dalia in buffalo leather or even python. Our alternatives aren’t limited to fabrics either, with Bulgari releasing many different colors of this celebrity favorite.

I love the Dalia’s sexy curves and soft, sensual pleats. The hardware is kept to a minimum; small buckles on the side and the logo embossed double ring in the center give a flash of metallic gleam while keeping the bag’s classic looks intact.

This is an enormous bag, make no mistake, but as it doesn’t dwarf the frame of its celebrity fans us mere mortals should be able to handle it. I’d have appreciated more than a the tiny zippered pocket and cell phone slip to keep such a large space organized, but I think carrying such a delicious piece of arm candy would be worth the extra effort!

More Features of This Bulgari’s Leather Shoulder Bag

  • Magnetic closure
  • Measures 22.8 x 19.3 x 9.8 inches

Whiting and Davis Striped Mesh Clutch | Contrasting Shine and Matte Purse

November 18th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in Fashion, Handbags

Yes, at first glance this is just yet another metal mesh bag from mesh experts, Whiting & Davis. It is hard to get wildly excited about another clutch that follows the same traditional slouchy metallic shape with a formal frame clasp.

If you ignore the Whiting & David heritage, however, and see this bag as a pretty purse in its own right, that it doesn’t feel quite so “samey”. After all, the majority of bags on the market are still leather, so it is nice to see one that still lets you have a black bag with a metallic twist.

Especially nice, and proof of the companies metal expertise, is the matte vs. shiny striping. As well as being visually pleasing for you to look at, it adds a certain art deco vibe that goes down well with plenty of smart evening outfits. The glam metal probably makes it too over-the-top for day-wear, so at a posh event or urban club night this will look great.

Whiting & Davis are always great at adding in a handle to make your delicate clutch more functional. However, the handle added into this purse is in a chunky chain, which I think fails to work well with the light and feminine mesh pattern.

If you want a traditional mesh purse with a modern design, this purse will do you well, although it won’t revolutionise handbag design at all!

More Features of this Whiting & Davis Contrasting Clutch:

  • Available in gold, silver or black
  • Signature lining
  • Optional chain shoulder-strap
  • Brass mesh exterior

Hype Jackie Weekend Bag | Spacious Top-Zip Formal Satchel

November 16th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in Fashion, Handbags

If you are heading away for the weekend, it is all too often the case that your clothes and belongings get relegated to that old carry-all that you used to use for sports when you were about 12. When space is necessary, however, there are plenty of options for keeping your fashion sense happy.

This Hype Jackie satchel is one such option. If you are only heading away for a day or two, this is spacious enough to store your vital items, as well as being neatly compartmentalised to let you sort everything and find things easily. It isn’t big enough to carry belongings for a longer time period, but as a carry-on bag it is great.

Particularly worth mentioning regarding the slight over-chunky looks of this hold-all is the interior. In a bright bold contrasting fabric, this is a lovely touch that turns the functional into the fun. The over-sized buckles and fastenings are attractive too, as well as adding much needed functionality and security in addition to the zip.

All in all this is a spacious and handy bag with average yet unoffensive looks.

More Features of this Hype Jackie Satchel

  • Available in blue, black or brown
  • Leather exterior
  • Functional dual handles
  • Multiple interior compartments/pockets
