Pauric Sweeney Patent Shoulder Bag

Aug 30, 2007 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Upon first glance, does this color scheme work for you? A shocking purple patent leather is paired with tan colored leather trim. I first thought black leather would be better suited, but then I realized that color combination may appear very sullen and downtrodden. Pauric Sweeney is known for pairing shiny metallics with subdued leather to give a huge first impression. The question is, which way does your first impression go? Totally fab or ultimately drab? This purple patent leather handbag is the Pauric Sweeney Patent Shoulder Bag. The shoulder straps draw you in, with woven detailing. There is also a zipped compartment on the front of the bag for easy access. The inside is lined and also features a zipped compartment. So this fall, while everyone is decked out in gray, add a completely edgy accessory to make you stand out.

Buy through NAP for $1075.

Louis Vuitton Fall Preview: Monogram Shearling

Aug 29, 2007 by Twiggers

Feast your eyes fashionable girls and boys, for this is the last Scarlett ad you will see from me! Yes, my fall preview series has come to a sad conclusion and I have oh-so-thoughtfully saved the best, or maybe the worst, for last. This wonderful bag, which slightly resembles some furry beast or at the very least an Ugg boot, is the new Louis Vuitton Monogram Shearling. Right from the get-go this bag just holds no appeal to me with the shiny, slightly plastic looking, monogram material and the fur sticking out everywhere. Great bag for the abominable snowman to look fashionable in, but maybe not so much for the fashionable New York gal! To add insult to injury, the bags carry quite the hefty price tag for some plastic coated shearling wool with vernis handles! My verdict: a big thumbs down!

Waitlists are now open (possibly even empty), call 1-866-VUITTON for more details. Click below for more detailed shots:

Has the Spy phenomenon been completely worn out? While not personally a fan of the Zucca jacquard print, the compact Spy has been brought to life in the Fendi Zucca Spy Pochette.
