Designer Deal of the Day
Elisa Atheniense | Large Lotus Hobo | On Sale $421 ( reg $843.) | view
I discovered a new site and a new designer – Elisa Atheniense available at Shopbop. This bag is decorated with an exquisite design that will add a little spice to any outfit.

Okay so right now I am gone, which means there are going to be lack of bag posts until I get back, since it is just me, myself and I here at the bag blog – maybe next time I will get a substitute. So lack of posts does not mean I am stopping, trust me I have some huge surprises set for when I get back. Also note that if you post a comment and you don’t see it, that’s because I have to approve of the comment. Also if you email me then I will get those messages and respond.

Don’t worry thebagforum posts will not stop, there are a few awesome people in there who love and adore handbags as much as you!

Marc by Marc Jaobs | ‘Luxy Faridah’ Logo Hobo | view
Yesterday when I should have been packing I went, you guessed it, shopping. I wandered on down to Nordstroms where I discovered a Marc by Marc Jacobs shoulder bag marked down on sale. I went to the Nordstroms site to find a picture but I wouldn’t find it on there. And of course stupid me threw the receipt away so I can’t check the style #. I wish I could post a pic of mine but do to the fact that I am walking out the door in 2 minutes and I have to finish packing, I don’t have time. So when I get back you will see it. Oh so how the bag is different from the one posted above – let me just say I have never seen anything like it. The other Marc by Marc Jacobs bag (the one I could find a pic of) is totally the travelers dream bag. Totally versatile, with removable straps and zippers in unique spots that allow you have the option of transforming the bag into a shoulder hobo, backpack, camera case, or fanny back (don’t think I will use this option). You are probably wondering what the heck I am talking about. Well, when I get back you will see. Oh and the bags fabric is made of dark blue corduroy like material with the pinstripe interior.

About the Marc by Marc Jaobs ‘Luxy Faridah’ bag pictured above – totally cute, a little bit more then what I paid for the other one, but out of all the bags on the site this one resembles it the most. The Luxy Faridah at Nordstroms is available in mauve or camel (pictured)

Tammi Lyn (looks like Balenciaga) | Saddle Bag | View!
The much-coveted Balenciaga bag is just one of the famous ‘It bags’ that every fashion loving celebrity owns one or two of. Hum, is it just me or does this Tammi Lyn handbag look to have characteristics of that you would see on a Balenciaga? Pretty close. I don’t even know if I can recommend this bag, it looks like a replica Balenciaga to me. Usually with replica’s you can instantly spot one by not only the craftsmanship but by the fabric as well. This well crafted Tammi Lyn bag is made with italian leather and suede lining and is available in teal, espresso, ancient gold, ect. The price of this bag is $530, that’s 50% off the original price.

Jimmy Choo | Double Ring Bucket Bag | View!
The Jimmy Choo double ring bag is available in black or khaki. The khaki color I am not to fond, to me the greenish color reminds me of outdoors – I am not the outdoorsy type. This bag retails for $1,850, but Saks also has the gold suede bag and the jaw dropping dark blue patent leather bag (pre-order) for about $500 less.

You may have noticed that I have been posting a lot of Celebrities and Their Handbag pics. Not everyday am I going to post Celebrities and their bags, it’s just something I am going to try out for a while. I notice that more people are commenting on the designer bags when I have them pictured in action with a celebrity. So apparently it’s a good idea?
