While browsing the web looking at handbags (what else, right?) today, I started to notice something odd. There are a lot of perforated handbags floating around right now. Is this a new trend or something? If so, I don’t think I received the memo. I guess when I think about perforated bags, I flash back to Louis Vuitton’s perforated collection from a few years ago. There weren’t too many perforated bags to speak of after that. Now they are suddenly popping up everywhere. What gives? Oh well, I suppose I can give this trend a chance. After all, some of the styles might actually be cute. Just be careful though. I think this is a very tricky trend to pull off. Bright colors or bright white keep this look fresh. I picked out a couple pieces that I like, just so you can see what I’m talking about. Enjoy!

Furla Perforated Brooklyn – $498
You don’t see Furla too much anymore, but this designer really seems to be making a comeback. This shoulder bag is nice. I like how it is slouchy at the top, but it still has a somewhat structured bottom. The tiny perforations are perfect for someone wishing to try this trend without getting their feet too wet. The crisp white is great too, pairing nicely with just about anything.

Rebecca Minkoff is still one of my favorite fashion designers and I love how she is always reinventing her handbags. It seems as if every week on Shop Bop I’m seeing a new design by her and I love it. Every single one of Minkoff’s handbags is always a hit. At the moment I’m absolutely loving the “Love Spell” Tri Zip Satchel. I feel like I’ve heard the name of the bag before but the style looks new to me. It kind of reminds me of a Balenciaga but better.

Olympia Le-Tan never ceases to amaze me. I was first introduced to her collection back in January when I stumbled across some of her novel clutches. So captivating were her creations, they left huge impressions in my mind. The hand embroidered details, the whimsy, the fact that they reminded me of Kate Spade’s novel clutches only 1000 times better… how could I not dream about them? Interestingly, others seem to share my sentiments. Olympia Le-Tan pieces pop up on Net-A-Porter fairly regularly, only to sell out within a few days (sometimes not even that). But what is this I see? It is what appears to be an Olympia Le-Tan piece, but it is different from what I’m used to seeing. Meet the Olympia Le-Tan Brozac Pill Box Bag!

As a woman, there is nothing I love more than getting all dolled up for a lovely night out. It’s all about the hair, makeup, dress, shoes and the clutch. To me, the clutch always finishes the outfit. Anything we carry always catches people’s attention and that’s why it always has to look stunning. When it comes to clutches no one else does it better than Alexander McQueen. His skull clutches are the definition of a beautiful, breathtaking and unique accessory but they also carry a hefty price tag. However, other designers design clutches that are just as beautiful as a McQueen and one of those designers is Diane von Furstenberg. I’m currently crushing over her “Lytton” Sequined Clutch, which is odd because I’m not even a fan of sequins.
