May 21, 2007 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and caramel may tickle your senses if they come from a brand like Godiva or Lindt, but do they combine to make a delectable handbag?

Prada Bowler Handbag

Mar 11, 2008May 18, 2007 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Prada hit huge with their Grauffre bags and is still trying to keep a good thing going. Introducing slightly antiqued and shaded pebbled leather, Prada has released a variety of Bowler Handbags. Saks has the natural tan version of the Prada Leather Bowler which will be available in the next few months. This bag is sure to be a hit, sporting antiqued pebbled leather along with gold tone hardware and a removable chain shoulder strap. Available for pre-order via Saks Fifth Ave for $2,050. Prada appears to feel confident that the Bowler’s will be one of the next huge trends, therefor they have created different renditions. My favorite versions are the Prada Patchwork Bowlers with fringe (can be seen below). Typically, I would not be drawn to a fringe bag, but the fringe strap is just enough and makes this bag overly fashionable and chic. What do you think, Fab or Drab?

Special thanks to Padparasha on tPF for sharing the pics!

The Kate Spade Tracy Patent Satchel feels sporty with the perforation yet chic with the trendy red patent leather.

Hermes Beach Bag

May 17, 2007 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

For many, the holy grail of handbags is the Hermes Birkin, a highly coveted, highly sought after, and hard to get bag. Another reason the Birkin is so exclusive is the price. Because let’s face it, how many people actually want to spend over $7,000 (or upwards of $140,000 for a diamond encrusted Birkin) for … Read more

Hayden Panettiere Style: Name that Bag!

May 17, 2007 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

The gal many know as the Heroes star, who I merely remember as the rowdy little girl from Remember the Titans, has really grown up. Looking posh Hayden Panettiere and her mother celebrated Mothers Day in NYC this past Sunday. They did not make it into brunch without being snapped a few times first, of course. Hayden was sporting a cute outfit and a great black bag. Can you Name that Bag?!

Bottega Veneta Butterfly Cosmetic Case

May 17, 2007 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

I’m a girl who loves her designer handbags but has never been one to splurge on a designer cosmetic case. It may be because I choose not to wear a ton of make up, although it is well-known that a gal like me needs concealer from time to time which I choose to avoid, or … Read more

Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Satchel

Jan 21, 2008May 17, 2007 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

No need to only carry safe colors in your handbag wardrobe. Personally, I would indulge in bright and bold colors as much as possible, especially with the bright summer months ahead of us. A shape that is classic and reminiscent of the LV Alma or Hermes Bolide, the Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Satchel brings a refined … Read more

Vlad and I had popped into Louis Vuitton Bal Harbour on May 1st to see some of the newly released bags in person (as well as buy a few goodies ourselves). Our fab SA told Vlad to give the new Congo line from LV a chance. Not a huge fan of Monogram, Vlad was skeptical, … Read more

Zac Posen Quilted Beatrice Bag

May 16, 2007 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Clean, yet not too clean. White, yet not annoyingly stark white. Different, yet not off-the-wall. Refined, yet not gaudy. The Zac Posen Quilted Beatrice Bag is understated, like many Zac Posen bags, but refined and beautiful. The slight small quilt in the leather paired with the smooth grained leather trim is a perfect pair. Polished … Read more

Name that Bag: Maddox’s Backpack

May 16, 2007 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

One of the most well-known celebrity kids is no stranger to the paparazzi. Living in Prague for a short time, the Jolie-Pitt’s having little Maddox enrolled in a Czech school there. On his way with hunky dad, Brad Pitt, Maddox garnered some paparazzi attention while sporting his typical laid back style and large backpack. Not that this is a designer bag, but it brings me back to the days of carrying a huge bag on my back with lots of books, notebooks, trapper keepers, etc to go learn and play ‘flush the toilet’ game at recess. Reminisce to the days of wearing a backpack, can you Name that Bag?!

The New York Times On the Street reports that red handbags are the color for spring. Brilliant red leathers, patent, canvas, and other materials have been spotted on the chic ladies of NYC recently. Not rouge, but vibrant red. I am on the outs, only owning a fall-rouge Chloe Paddington, but maybe I need to … Read more
