I’ve only discovered these two brands within the past two years. I’m sure they’ve been popular for much longer. The pics shown below are my favorites from CM and Bodhi during a recent online browsing. Though I haven’t changed my opinion regarding suede handbags (doesn’t fare well during rainy weather and therefore limits use), I …
Fendi at RueLaLa
At a fairly recent Ruelala sale; I thought these were cute… Love the embroidered details against their signature monogram. The pinkish lavender just pops off the bag. As you can imagine, they sold like hotcakes. I really love the tote with the peach trim =). *Photocredit: Ruelala
Temperley of London at Gilt
I was definitely keeping my fingers crossed that TOL would finally arrive at one of these sample sales. Yeah!!! I just want to say, Temperley, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE open a store in New York! I loved the Garnet Bags- they’re lust on chains… *Photocredit: Gilt
Thomas Wylde
TW has been popular for some time now. Am I the only clueless person out there who thinks he’s an up-and-coming designer *blush*? Thomas Wylde’s Skull Clutch has been growing on me. I usually dislike anything with skulls on it, okay, minus a button down shirt I bought at H&M a couple years back because …
Katherine Kwei at Gilt
Today was the KK sale. I was keeping my fingers crossed that I would see something from her Spring 2009 Collection, and I did =)! I posted my top picks from the sale below. At regular price, her bags are tres expensive so this was considered a pretty good sale. I personally don’t care for …
L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani
I’m only slightly familiar with this brand and haven’t followed their seasons regularly. I remember when LAMB first came out. I loved the knit tops but never ended up buying any. Recently I spotted a pretty pair of LAMB shoes- sort of a retro punky style and just loved them. I also discovered I liked …
Marc Jacobs, Old & New & Louis Vuitton Shimmer Halo
Just found these pretty bags via ShopStyle. Beautiful but crazy expensive- priced like an inexpensive or pre-loved Chanel. The costs of creating designer bags from an industry point-of-view may be rising but the prices are becoming out-of-control. I’m mad at MJ for his continued price hikes. Some of his bags in the Spring 2009 Collection …
Marc Jacobs, Spring 2008 Line
Gilt just had a sale yesterday featuring MJ’s Spring 2008 Handbag Collection. It brings back good memories of his 2003 and 2004 handbags with the new rendering of his Venetia. My top picks are his Large MultiPocket satchel and his “frog” bags. *Photocredit: Gilt
Salvatore Ferragamo
I’m fascinated with the pretty horseshoe logo and logo hardware on the handbags. I wish I owned a handbag by this designer. My ex-boyfriend’s sister, Debbie, used to own nothing but Ferragamo- she was an SF addict. The handbags have always been well-made but this brand overall never seemed to reach the acclaim as Prada …
