10Fendi Patent Crossword Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

In my opinion,miu miu handbags, logo driven accessories are a bit of a tough sell – with the exception of Louis Vuitton of course, whose classic logo handbags have become the epitome of classic sophistication and luxury. However, I do not care for the multicolored version – bad idea! I just think there are more creative and aesthetically pleasing ways to create a handbag that is gorgeous, that excites you when you see it and above all lasts for years. Why spend hundreds of dollars for something that you won’t think twice about in a few months time? Certainly if you have the money spend away – but for the average person I don’t think that freedom holds. The Fendi Patent Crossword Clutch is accented with a logo gone crazy. But to give this clutch credit, the arrangement of logo is pretty cool. Price: $920

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

World-renowned British designer Lulu Guinness has some beautiful bags in her Spring/Summer 2007 Couture collection. The Blue Penelope bag caught my eye with its beautiful,handbags and purses, deep blue leather. It’s a rather large bag with a soft shape and a sturdy gold clasp and frame.

With the Lulu Guinness signature discreetly placed on the front, this bag will get noticed. Also available in black, the bag sells for £850.00, but currently has a waiting list.

A velvet strip of navy blue wrapped around white leather gives this otherwise ordinary bag a bit of a preppy look. The double handles are also interesting with what looks like zippers sewn into the leather. Inside, the bag is lined in a logo stripe and has zip and cell-phone pockets. With just the right amount of gold-plated hardware and a simple hinged-frame closure,purses and handbags, this roomy bag is low-key and subtle.

37Comfy and Relaxed Henry Beguelin Men’s Bags

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

Okay, I’m not a man so I can’t write about these Henry Beguelin men’s bags from the angle of "I’d sure love to have one." But I can say that any guy I see carrying one will score a second glance and bonus fashion points, in my book anyway. Depending on your own personal style,designer handbags cheap, they most likely appeal to earthier types who care about their appearance and want something nice, but also like the comfortable and natural "lived in" look. To me they nicely communicate two things: "I’m successful" and "I’m not stuffy." Not an entirely easy thing for a bag to do.

My favorite of the bunch, this Italian cracked leather computer bag with shoulder strap, sells for $1,750.

20Bulga Multi Pocket with Resin Chain, Handbag of the Day

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

Pockets are good, and this bag has plenty of them. Outside, there’s a hinged pocket at the top and a hidden zipper compartment under one of the front flaps. Inside are two patch-pockets as well as another large zipper pocket.

But you probably aren’t looking at the pockets, are you? Even the silver metallic leather cannot compete with the over-sized resin chain draped across the front of this bag. Resin, of course, is a fancy word for plastic. Fortunately,brand name handbags, the chain is detachable. $725.

17Corto Moltedo Mid Priscilla, Handbag of the Day

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

At first glance,design handbags, this bag appeared to me to be some sort of electronic device. Upon closer inspection, I realized what looked like headphones attached to the sides of the bag are actually zippered cargo pockets. And those are leather strips hanging from the handle, not wires. At any rate, it’s an unusual bag that features a woven body and contrasting hand strap. Made from Italian leather, the Priscilla bag features brass hardware and comes with a removable shoulder strap. $1128.70.

9Tagua Sobre Wool and Croc Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

I like the purple croc and I like the hand-woven geometric print,christian louboutin red pumps, but together they seem completely mismatched. Perhaps this is what the designer was going for, but to me the clutch looks like it was cobbled together from leftover purse parts. At least the purple satin interior seems to be on the right bag. $415.

36.See by Chloe Patent Cut-Out Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

Bright and bold,designer purses, this is one of those designs that makes a person want to bend down and take a closer look — what exactly is going on in there? It’s the cut-out design and the shiny patent leather that gives this See by Chloé bag its contemporary edge (that’s the multi-print lining showing through), while the 80s shape lets you indulge your craving for a little retro vibe. So be fashionably accessorized with bright crayola yellow this spring, and since it’s a little retro it’s a bag that will probably be in style for awhile. $400
