Santi makes the most perfect little clutches and evening purses. I could go on and on about them and I have in previous posts so I’ll just post some precious little pics and leave it at that… I love the multi-color sequins and leather doughnut applique styles! So pretty and goes with everything! Santi is …
Carla Mancini & Bodhi Handbags
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 …
Shana London Clutches
Just saw these lovelies today at Gilt. Though I’m not at all familiar with this brand, I love what I see already. I’ll have to look them up for you… These are fairly big clutches. Would love to own one. Shopping-wise I’m going through a clutch phase now, but I have a feeling that I …
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
Heather Hawkins Clutches
After more online browsing, I found several pretty clutches by Heather Hawkins. Her designs are new to me but I think it’s because I’m a little behind on fashion trends. I wish that she could make a fully blue metallic clutch. That would go great with a denim outfit. If I had to choose one, …
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
Foley + Corinna
F+C‘s Large City Bag is so unbelievably roomy. This is a bag that would also benefit from a Purse-To-Go. As much as I love its versatility, being that it’s a convertible bag, I wish it was more comfortable to carry- crossbody works best. It’s a bit too awkward for me. I wish I could be …
Bottega Veneta
I don’t even own one yet =(. Several years ago I remembered they had some pretty nice accessories. I haven’t visited any of their boutiques recently. Bluefly is offering a really nice over-sized petal pink tote in BV’s classical weave. I’ve recently become quite enamored with clutches and evening bags. I used to think they …
