Giveaways

Studs continue to make their mark for fall/winter 2009 handbags. Some of you may not love a large studded bag and that is precisely why a clutch or accessory is the perfect way to add a little stud in your life. We are huge fans of Jimmy Choo and are happy to bring you a fabulous giveaway from Jimmy Choo!

New for autumn/winter 2009, the Jimmy Choo Filipa Wallet features luscious black Nappa leather with gold triangle studs. The price is $795. This wallet is so hot that it is already out of stock at Jimmy Choo. But we got our hands on one for one of you!

TO ENTER: Visit JimmyChoo.com and tell us your favorite item! Post your answers in the comments section of this post and you will be entered to win the Filipa Wallet. Contest runs from July 20th through August 3rd at 4:00 PM EST. Open for both US and international users.

I suck terribly at following through with my duties, one of which was to pick and announce the winner of the mini contest I ran early May. The task was to find a new name for our Bag Art category, in which we are posting our very own efforts to visualize beautiful bags.

The 5 finalists are:

Captured Couture – NYC Sara
Bagography – morgan
Shutter Bags – Ces-A
Purse-ecution – Jo-Jo
Bagstract – Erin

And the winner is...

Tory Burch and Palmilla have partnered together to offer an incredible summer giveaway. Enter daily and the prizes include a Tory Burch prize along with the grand prize, a Tory Burch Wardrobe and 4 night getaway at the Palmilla Resort in Cabo. This is a great way to celebrate summer! You can enter everyday to increase your chances of winning.

We have been having exclusive giveaways on our Twitter page and now we have them on our Facebook fan page for those who are fans of Purse Blog and Purse Forum!

We have teamed up with Lockheart to offer a Facebook Fan page exclusive giveaway, the Lockheart Sky Tote. Perfect for day-to-day use or super chic to carry to the gym, I adore this bag!

All you need to do is become a fan of the Purse Blog and Purse Forum on Facebook and then read how to enter the giveaway. It is simple and the prize is great! Make sure to visit Lockheart.

As I mentioned last week, we are beyond excited to be partnering with Ignes to bring you a fabulous giveaway. What’s up for grabs? An entire travel set: travel bag, shoulder bag and a travel clutch. For all you Ignes fans out there, you might be saying, “travel bag? Ignes doesn’t make travel bags”. They didn’t… until now! So not only are you going to be one of the first people to see it, but after we’ve tallied the votes and the bags are custom made, you’ll also be able to enter to win it!

If you aren’t familiar with Ignes, definitely head over to Ignes and check out everything they have to offer. I am sure you will like what you see. And since Ignes puts together some amazing bespoke bags, we figured, what better way to collaborate on a giveaway than to ask our readers to help design the bags. Now, go have some fun with these options and vote!

VOTE VOTE VOTE!

I am sure many of you are enjoying a wonderful three day weekend! While you are planning any weekend trips or thinking about an delish BBQ coming up this weekend, we have something else for you to get excited about. We are partnering with Ignes Handbags to bring you a wonderful giveaway! I won’t spill all the details now, but make sure to come back on Monday and offer your two cents about what kind of bags you’d like to see custom designed for the giveaway!

Exciting right? Well, while we love bringing you some amazing giveaways, we also love introducing you to some great brands out there. Several of you are very familiar with Ignes over on the tPF (the Purse Forum). Yet, for those of you who aren’t as familiar, I wanted to tell you a bit about the brand. Ignes was founded by the sister-brother team Maria and Ignacio. Ignes has been put on the map due to the fabulous leathers, customizable options and overall individuality. Maria and Ignacio want to provide gorgeous handbags while remaining socially responsible. In fact, Ignes won the Most Socially Responsible Handbag Award at the Handbag Designer Awards. Amazing, right?

One last thing I can’t help but mention… the winner of this giveaway will win a Travel Set (travel bag, shoulder bag and travel wallet). Stay tuned!!

Well ladies and gentlemen, today is the last day of our amazing giveaway. While we love giveaways, we also love giveaways where we get to partner with some of our favorite web-based friends.

These bags are breathtaking and together retail at $2405. If I could, you better believe I would keep them for myself. So, make sure you enter to win!!!

No, we haven’t forgotten! We’ve been working on announcing the winner of our oh-so exclusive collaboration with Belen Echandia. We’ve collaborated with this amazing designer to bring you a gorgeous one-of-a-kind handbag. After you weighed in and voted, the bag was made, the giveaway was held and the winner was selected.

The week is beginning to wind down. Let’s be honest, who doesn’t look forward to the weekend? I will be the first to say, I always look forward to the weekend! When I think of the weekend, I can’t help but think about which fabulous clutch I will carry out. For day four of our amazing giveaway with Luxaholics, there is a fabulous exotic clutch up for grabs. This Adriana Castro Crocodile Modish Clutch is a head turner. Retailing at $1530, what better way make this yours than by winning it!

Last night in NYC the 2009 Independent Handbag Designer Awards took place. It was meant to be for Adriana Castro, as her Modish Clutch won Audience Fan Favorite in a category that had over 15,000 votes. Did you realize that today is the day we are giving away the Modish Clutch? It was not planned, but it could not be more fitting. We are so happy for Adriana Castro and her win last night!
