Coach | Signature Studded Satchel
Alright let’s give a warm spring welcoming to the new Soho collection from Coach. This new Coach signature studded satchel is polished with alluring studs and shinny satin, a perfect addition to glam up your day or night wear.

I hate counterfeit and replica handbags to me it erases the pleasure of owning a Coach bag. Possibly it’s the combination of that and everyone owning a Coach signature C bag, that I don’t even carry mine around anymore. Lost somewhere in my closet, that’s where they will be for the next year or two or at least until I decide to give them away or through them up on eBay. Which brings me to another point, I received a few emails lately regarding some designer items being sold on eBay. . . . I do NOT sell anything on ebay.

If you get a chance, check out the re-opening of Coach’s redesigned New York global flagship store on 57th and Madison Avenue and the grand opening of Coach?s newest flagship store on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

Marc Jacobs | Perforated Leather Flap Bag
I’m usually not a huge fan of perforation or shiny patent leather for that matter, but that was until I came across this crafty Marc Jacobs bag from the new spring 2006 season. Marc Jacobs, you won me over with the combination of patent leather, super chunky shoulder straps, circular perforation, dangling tassel, and soft suede interior. A totally refreshing and complete new look from the spring collection leaves me amazed and craving it for my own.

This gorgeous newbie is one of the latest new arrivals at Eluxury.com. The two shoulder-goods that are available at this time are the Flap bag (13″ length x 8.5″ width x 2.25″ height for $1,250) and Brigitte (13.5″ length x 8″ height x 7.5″ width for $1,295) in white or dark chocolate soft grained Italian leather.

Check out these new must-have luxurious Marc Jacob handbags!

Dolce and Gabbana | Leopard print Hobo
Maybe because its my desire to get a bengal that I found myself semi-fascinated with this Dolce and Gabbana Leopard-print hobo. I couldn’t see myself toting around this Dolce and Gabbana hobo, the pattern is a bit too busy for me, besides that this bag looks like one that my cat would want to attack.

Not for me, but maybe for you. This wild bag is made of tan / dark brown leopard-print canvas trimmed with dark brown pebble-grain leather trim and accented with the DG golden logo charm hardware. So if you don’t mind forking out $995, or if you find this bag to be what you are looking for then check it out at Neiman Marcus.

Chloe Paddington | Camera Bag
Okay I don’t know about you but I’ve fantasized too long over the Chloe Paddington bag that I feel it’s now time to give recognition to this Paddington Camera Bag. The desirable Paddington style is redesigned into this picture-perfect camera bag. Like most paddy’s from the Chloe family, these chic bags share the ideal characteristics such as the distressed leather fabric, golden and silver metal hardware, studded accents, finishing with the illustrious signature padlock.

Bags like this leave me thinking ‘I wish was a photographer’, or at least took it up as a hobby. The measurements of this Paddington Camera bag are 8 1/2″ height x 6″ width x 3″ depth. You can spot it at Neiman Marcus for $1,495

This shimmering Gucci evening bag would be charming with that little black dress, perfect for a romantic night out. Valentine’s Day is slowly approaching, with that in mind when I came across this Gucci evening bag I was inspired to blog about it.

I’m in love with this stunning eye-catching new bag from Gucci. This would be a perfect bag to glam up your evening outfit, by adding this elegant evening accent, enriched with an exotic twist. The glistening jeweled Gucci bag is decorated in metallic gold calf leather with bamboo detailed along the front handle and chain straps. Measurements: 10″ height x 13″ width x 1″ depth

I’m sure everyone reading this has heard of the Marc Jacobs Brownie Roxy Rose printed canvas hobo. I think that the MJ bag is pretty much sold out everywhere (please correct me if I’m wrong), it’s just one of those bags that I haven’t seen in a long time. The Marc by Marc Jacobs hobo retailed for around $140, and you find yourself thinking what a decent price for a well-know designer quality bag. Then this hobo comes along, for only $20 you can get the Jungle Bag from Delias.com. Mainly what caught my eye was that both of these two bags in my opinion look pretty chic sharing an 80′s vibe. This glam hobo would make a perfect beach tote with the massive 12″width x 15″height x 3″depth measurements.

Fendi | Karung Borderline Clutch
It’s cute, little and not inexpensive. This beautiful new black and grey karung lizard leather clutch just arrived at Fendi. Initially when I saw this bag I was blown away by the retail price. That’s about as much as Fendi Spy bag! Then I read into the details and my opinion slowly weighted off as I realized – this bag is small, but the unique characteristics and details make it worth the price. Does this mean that I’m going to go out and buy this Fendi clutch? No, I’m a college student, that’s my accessory allowance for the whole month. Anyway this is the bag blog, so I feel it necessary to tell everyone about this little cutie.

What makes this Fendi clutch unique is the exotic karung lizard leather on the coin-purse frame. The vintage frame is ornamented with metallic leather pipping that opens up to reveal a sea green satin lining interior with patch pocket and golden Fendi plaque. This is all topped off with the a dual-tone clasp of granular gold metal and silver metal that sparkles with scintillating crystals. This is such a gorgeous Fendi clutch that it leaves me thinking no wonder the retail price is $2,480. The measurement of this little glam pouch is 8″ x 4.25″ x 1.75″.
