The name alone might suggest you’re dealing with a devastating paladin retribution spell straight out of some MMOPRG, but in fact it’s one of the must-have bags of the fall season. The Isabella Fiore Whip Flash Audra is made from pebbled semi-shiny Italian leather with whipstitch detail and stud hardware. Designers Jennifer Tash and Trang Huynh originally created the bag for celebrities only, but popular demand forced them to incorporate it into Fiore’s fall collection. As soon as photos of Katie Holmes (with Tom Cruise, of course – duh) surfaced with her clutching this beauty in Rome, the glamorous rest of Hollywood’s ingénues could not escape the hype. Kate Bosworth and Salma Hayek both ordered theirs just last week, while Mena Suvari and Alyssa Milano have already scored their own. In best designer bag manner, there is a waiting list and it is longer than the list of females jealous over Katie’s new lover. The price for he Audra ranges around $380, and will be available in September at Saks Fifth, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.
P.S. The purse can be pre-ordered at Adasa – thanks Jared.
