Chloe handbag | Spring 2007 Runway
No ‘It Bag’ from Chloe on the spring runway. Nothing to rave about, the bags were pretty simple (slightly boring) which comes as a huge disappointment for all the Chloe fans who had the high hopes that label would have continued their streak of producing covetable accessories. Darn! Can’t wait until Paulo Melim from Marni shows up next season.

The clothes and shoes (ohh the shoes) were nice but nothing from the handbag collection stood out for me, or even caused me to take a second glance – I found myself saying ‘eh’ on almost every photo.

Celebrity | Lindsay Lohan | Chloe Handbag
Not even released yet and Lindsay Lohan has been photographed all over Hollywood with the new Chloe bag that made its debut on the spring 2007 runway.

Fendi | Crocodile Tote
eBay Alert! The Fendi Crocodile has been spotted. Location: Sitting alone, none other like it on eBay all glammed up in a crocodile / alligator black shiny leatherwear – I adore.

Or you can wait it out for the next couple days and slowly watch the bidding increase – currently the bids are at $999.

Celebrity | Ashley Olsen | Fendi Handbag
Noooonononoooooo! Its official, a couple days ago Ashley converted to the darker side. I guess I am just so use to the two different versions of the Olsen twins – each on opposite sides of the spectrum. But no more when it comes to their hair color.

Change every now and then is good. However I’m not fan. It’s too Mary-Kate – but that may because she looks like she jumped out of the shower and her hair looks messy.

Shop Fendi on eBay!

The newer leather version is available here on Saks Fifth Avenue

Hermes | Rare Vintage 1950′s Luggage Suitcase | View!
About the Bag: This is rare opportunity to purchase an original vintage Hermes luggage. This piece was entirely handmade by top French craftsman in Paris in the 1950′s, approximately during the time of the first production of the Kelly bag named after Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco. The elegance of 50′s fashion will never fade with new trends. The unique piece is made of horsehair canvas and bordeaux (rouge Hermes) leather trims. All original Hermes markings on hardware were engraved by hands. “Hermes Paris 24 faub ST Honore” and number “0123 5″ are embossed on a leather piece inside. It is a fabulous conversation piece to have at home, or it may be used on your travel as it is still in very good condition. A new one will cost more than $5,000 today. There’s no key to lock the luggage, but everything is in great working condition. Don’t miss out the rare chance to own a part of the history of one of the greatest fashion icon of the century. Condition: Excellent vintage condition with little sign of wear.

About The Seller: Power Seller all-from-france is currently at 905 with 99.3%

Jimmy Choo | Coco Clutch | View!
The Jimmy Choo Coco hand held petite evening clutch is decorated with rows upon rows of gold studs with a golden lined cut-out handle casing.

If you don’t like the attention grabbing studded Coco bag then electronically wonder on over to Net-a-Porter (View!), there they have the simple plain black Coco for almost (get this) half off from the Coco stud – $750. Personally I would save my money on this one. The Jimmy Choo Coco with the studs is too rocker-chic for me and the plain black is (well, just) too plain.

Celebrity | Mischa Barton | Jimmy Choo Coco Clutch
Pictured above is one of the scanned pages from the Hong Kong edition of Prestige Magazine for October 2006. In charge of the wardrobe for this photo shoot was Celebrity stylish Rachel Zoe (no big surprise) – bag of choice for Miss Barton was the Jimmy Choo studded Coco Evening bag.
