Vuitton: Stephen Sprouse Tribute Collection

Jan 2, 2009Dec 30, 2008 by Vlad Dusil

Louis Vuitton‘s Marc Jacobs commemorates the late fashion designer and artist Stephen Sprouse with this Tribute Collection, which is new for 2009 and will be sold shortly after a book on Sprouse’s life hits the bookshelves in January.

Who could forget the triumphant 2001 graffiti collection that shocked the runways and weeks later turned into cult collector’s items? Not only did this collaboration between Sprouse and LV’s artistic director Marc Jacobs turn into a fantastic, resounding success, it also paved the path for more celebrated collaborations for the near future. Takashi Murakami comes to mind.

Jimmy Choo Celeste Rainbow Clutch

Jan 6, 2009Dec 30, 2008 by Shannon Mahoney

Color, color and more color. Although I usually stray away from handbags with a variety of bright colors, I think this handbag might have changed my mind just a bit. As I came across the Jimmy Choo Celeste Rainbow Clutch I found myself imagining carrying it around while bringing in the New Year. Now, I’ll be up front, I do have New Year’s on my mind right now. What to do, what to wear, who to see – all the things that go through our minds. Yet whether I find myself celebrating with a few friends or hitting the town until the wee hours of the morning, this is a bold New Year’s clutch I’d love to have in hand.

Coach Amanda Satin Mini Satchel

Dec 30, 2008 by Amanda Mull

We don’t talk a lot about Coach handbags on this blog, and maybe that’s an oversight on our part. What better way to start correcting it, then, than by talking about the line of bags named after yours truly (ok, well, they’re not necessarily named after me. But I came first. So there.)? The Amanda … Read more

Miu Miu Oversized Metallic Clutch

Dec 29, 2008 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Before writing this I realize that I may give you all the impression that Vlad and I are nothing other than bumps on logs. Not the case, but I am well aware that it may come off that way. Upon first glance this clutch screams ‘take me with you on new Year’s Eve!!’. And then I thought to myself, what is it that we will be doing on New Year’s Eve this year? And then I thought about what we have done years prior, which has been truly mellow and involves a very small group at home. And then I felt lame. But I must say that for the past two years we have had horrible jet lag each time. Either way, that is neither here nor there, as this year we are going out with close friends of ours! And what will I wear?!

Chloe Paraty

Jan 6, 2009Dec 29, 2008 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Just a quick FYI for those who care and those who love the Chloe Paraty Bag! It popped up last week on NAP UK and this week on NAP USA. Seems to be sold out already. Really, do so many of you absolutely adore it? I saw it in person and it did not give … Read more

Salvatore Ferragamo Top Handle Satchel

Sep 15, 2009Dec 29, 2008 by Amanda Mull

This bag is not playing around. The Salvatore Ferragamo Top Handle Satchel means business, and it’s not going to put up with any of your flack. It’s an office bag if I’ve ever seen one, and although it evokes thoughts of the Hermes Kelly, it’s not iconic in a way that would tell all of … Read more

Christian Louboutin Nappa Laminato Envelope Clutch

Sep 23, 2009Dec 23, 2008 by Shannon Mahoney

Handbags and shoes, what a wonderful combination. And I have to say, Mr. Louboutin tends to make me a happy camper when it comes to both categories. I’ve always dreamed of owning a pair of his shoes. In fact, I usually stop and admire his shoes any time I get a chance. And his clutches, … Read more

Givenchy Sacca Chain Handle Bag

Jan 4, 2011Dec 22, 2008 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

One of my favorite bags from a designer that is not as mainstream in the handbag world is Givenchy. I have yet to own a Givenchy bag, but I have lusted after the Givenchy Nightingale time and time again. And now there is a new bag to yearn for from the house of Givenchy. The … Read more

Kuve Dark Croc Clutch

Dec 19, 2008 by Shannon Mahoney

Although earlier today over at Purse Blog Savvy I wrote about how I have days where I enjoy being minimalistic, there are other days where I love having an eye catching, down right intricate handbag to carry. The Kuve Dark Croc Clutch is one that screams look at me – and for all the right … Read more

Prada Key Ring Pouch

Dec 19, 2008 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Apparently I am stuck on stocking stuffers. The reason for this could very well be that I do not have a stocking or anything to stuff it with prepared for Vlad yet. Do I go cute, do I go cool, do I go traditional, do I think out of the box? Part of my problem … Read more

Jimmy Choo Riki Patent Bag

Dec 18, 2008 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

There is a combination of love from Jimmy Choo that results in a handbag masterpiece. The shape of the Ramona Tote, the studs from the Jimmy Choo Zulu Stud Clutch, and the weave of the Rio clutch, results in the beauty that is the Jimmy Choo Riki Patent Bag. Jimmy Choo simply took the good … Read more
