Satchels

I’m going to let you in on a little background information about myself, I’m a Juicy girl! It is true that before the brand ever was ‘big’ my parents had bought it for me. I even remember the totally different tags on the shirt, so simplistic. And now, Juicy Couture has moved on to be one of the biggest brands in Hollywood. Let’s all thank me for taking them public! I am really summer lovin’ this Juicy Couture LWL Leather Satchel. Actually, what does LWL stand for? Either I’m being very blond, or it is just not obvious. I will need to inquire.

This is Juicy’s new ultra-spacious satchel made from a gorgeous bronze colored supple leather with gold metal accents. On the outside the gold links and a dangling “J” heart charm, the signature of Juicy Couture, will catch all eyes. Inside, the logo lining takes sassy orders from gold lamé pockets that read, “Shop!” “Hello?” and “Juicy Kiss!” With a gold metal “J” zipper pull and a matching heart-shaped pocket mirror. The inside is lined with canvas stamped Juicy Couture logo and features a plethora of interior pockets that read, “Shop!” “Hello?” and “Juicy Kiss!” I have a Juicy barrel bag that also has a pocket that reads “Shop!”, and that is exactly what I do whenever I have that bag with me . The bag is a beautiful summer color to meet all of your outfit needs and is also comes in victoria (light blue). If this juicylicious satchel one of many summer musts, head over to eLuxury and nab it for $350.

Happy Father’s Day to all you fathers out there! I know there is a Mother’s Day but what about an indulge yourself day just because? Oh wait, thats about everyday in the life of a woman. Yay! I have been on the hunt for a larger not exorbitantly priced bag, and today I have found it. The DKNY Antique Calf Stud Shopper combines sexy studs and supple calfskin. My favorite part of the bag is it costs under $300 and still has the look of the Be & D style eyelit hardware and funky flap pockets at the corners of the shopper. The bag is lined with a cotton lining and the rest of the bag shows off brushed silver-tone hardware. As far as storage goes there is one outside zip pocket, multiple magnetic flap pockets outside, two interior zip pockets, and last but not least two open pockets that are about the size to fit a cell phone. Lastly the shopper features a magnetic closure and measures approximately 15″ x 4″ x 9.25″. In either black or white this funky shopper is willing to be purchased at $295 at eLuxury.

When you want to mix hip style with classic appeal, it turns out that many times you find that to be a hard task. Maybe it is because you are young but want to give off the vibe of being sophisticated chic, or you are reaching those older (the years that we shall not mention) and want to look young and in style. Either way I have found the perfect handbag for you. The Be & D Deerskin Satchel mixes both classic appeal through the beauty of deerskin with the hip studs to add an energetic feel.

Like all of you faithful Purse Bloggers should know, Be & D is a very new and trendy brand. They use both ingenuity and creativity to blend together an overall appealing bag to many different women. New for fall this Be & D Deerskin Satchel is made of a divine colored chocolate deerskin and accented with the signature Be&D stud trim in golden hardware. The bag also features shoulder straps with buckles and an ID tag, a zip top with leather pull tabs, a front flap pocket with extended buckle strap, and grommets on the gussets. As many of you purse and handbag fanatics know, a bag like this does not come cheap. You need to even pre-order this beaut for $1,285 at Bergdorf Goodman.

From Marc Jacobs’ recently released fall collection, I like the Marc Jacobs Zebra Venetia Satchel the most. With its zebra print, it gives a taste of exotic wilderness, following up on this summer’s safari trend. Marc Jacobs designed this italian leather bag in black and white zebra-print hair-calf with a black leather trim. The handbag is accented with signature golden hardware all over, including the rings that attach the top handles to the bag. The satchel sports a zip top and a convenient strap its body that buckles in front. The two front flap pockets are secured with golden push-lock closures. The Marc Jacobs satchel goes for $1,500 at Bergdorf Goodman. A chic hunt for this fall season for sure.

Sometimes I forget that many of the bags we feature are exorbitantly expensive but still to die for (literally I’m sure some of you have caused significant others near heart attacks). That’s why I am loving the look and price of the DKNY Antique Calf Ruched Satchel. I’m gonna start right off with the good news, the low price of $225 at ELuxury for an aged calfskin leather bag. Awesome. Like an old vintage tote, this satchel gives off both a modern feel and still a bit of suburban feel also. To take this bag from ordinary to extraordinay, DKNY designers implemented the use of ruching on the front and back of the bag which gives this textured ruffle-like pattern. Allowing the side buckles as a true function, the bag is capable of expanding after the buckles are loosened to add a little more room in the bag. The bag measures 12″ x 7″ x 5″ and comes in green (lawn), black and pink (kiln). Where else could you find such a unique leather bag for under $250?

After yesterday’s extravagantly outlandish charm bag, we decided to keep things a little more breezy for once — and more affordable, too.

Italian designers at Nuovedive grace us with this mono-colored casual satchel that promises to be the perfect easy-matching companion for your daily necessities. The natural sand shade may not be bright and flaunty, but it will complement virtually any attire you choose to wear. Being made of fine full grain leathers and tanned only with veggie extracts, it does not only look stunning, but Mother Nature will thank you as well. Although the bag may seem unspectacular, its asymmetric alignment of pouches on its front gives it an interesting flavour. The bag is now available at Forzieri for a reasonable $196.

This studded, large satchel from MICHAEL Michael Kors is luxe on a relatively smaller budget (sub $300). The styling could spring right from daddy’s Softtail, the bag is undoubtedly bike-oriented. The satchel is held in ultra-soft calfskin leather, silvertone studs and springy colors catch the beholder’s eye. At a price of just under $300, it’s certainly a good catch for a top-notch designer handbag.

Although the weather in most regions still implies anything but the spring time, it is the time of the year to roll out this year’s spring lines left and right. So does Coach with the release of their spring brights. The extensive line of new bags comes in an exciting palette of spring shades that’ll complement a sunny spring day perfectly.

Our 3 picks out of the enormous lineup include the super practical Canvas Small Pocket Satchel in Brass/Acid Green/White for $328 (left), the highly fashionable Hamptons Weekend Hobo in silver/fuchsia for $178 (middle) and last, but certainly not least, the essential Hamptons Weekend Small Tote in silver/pool for $158 (right). The hobo and tote come as part of a brand new lineup in the Hampton’s Weekend Collection.

I highly suggest checking their site for new releases, pretty exciting stuff over there. I own a few Coach purses myself and find now new excuses to restock my collection once more.

Juicy’s super-roomy leather satchel is crafted from supple smooth leather with glam gold links and a dangling “J” heart charm. Inside, the logo interior takes sassy orders from gold lam pockets that read, “Shop!” “Hello?” and “Juicy Kiss!”.
