Marc Jacobs | Karolina Handbag
For size reference I tossed my cat in the bag. Actually I switched bags this morning before I went out for coffee and when I got back she was scrunched up inside. I’m so glad she didn’t use it as a scratching toy like what she does to my other bags when left out. So yes, photo shoot time – above is my little kitty Frisky (aka Friska Vaduschka Mamuschka / Mr. Kitters) hanging out in the gigantic (largest size) Marc Jacobs Karolina Handbag.

The Marc Jacobs Karolina bag was named after the stunning Czech supermodel Karolina Kurkova. Designer Marc Jacobs had this to say about Kurkova, “She has an angelic look with a dark side, she’s sweet and fun but looks like she could be an evil bewitching child.” – what a sweet quote.

eBay Alert I couldn’t locate my super sized bag on eBay, but if looking for a smaller version of the petunia (pink) I spotted a couple…
* Marc Jacobs Karolina – New with tags and a buy it now price of $445. (reg $975)

* Marc Jacobs Karolina – New with tags and a starting bid of $300.

Marc Jacobs Sweet Punk Handbag
When I first laid eyes on this bag I thought it belonged to Marc-y Marc’s less expensive junior Marc by Marc Jacobs label, not his main Marc Jacobs line. Well I was wrong. Turns out this newbie is from the Marc Jacobs Resort 2007 Collection, the bag is called the Marc Jacobs Sweet Punk Handbag. The bag is designed with very thin plastic-y cheap leather and decorated with punk-ish looking shinny silver pyramid stud detailing. The price to get your hands on this Sweet Punk handbag is $2,679. Nay for me.

Dooney and Bourke “New Bitsy” Doodle Handbag
When I first met this bag I was thinking maybe if I had a little one running around then I would buy this Dooney and Bourke “New Bitsy” Doodle Bag for her. I’m not kidding when I say this bag is super tiny. It looks like it was shrunk down. This isn’t the first time we have seen Dooney minimize their bags, remember the miniature Dooney and Bourke Croco Baby Briefcase. I don’t see the point of this. I would not waste my money on such a small bag, even if it only carried a $65 price tag. I would rather spend double and get the (normal sized) Dooney and Bourke “Doodle” Bucket Bag.

Maybe it’s just me who thinks this bag is abnormally small. You be the judge, the measurements are 4″ H x 6″ W x 2.5″ D. You can discover the Dooney and Bourke “New Bitsy” Doodle Handbag today via Macy’s.

Gucci Britt Handbag
Seattlelites, I know I am a little late on this one but in case you didn’t know there is now a Gucci Handbag boutique in the downtown Nordstrom Store! Wahoo! So on one side you have the Chanel Handbag boutique then all the way on the other side you now have Gucci Handbag Shop, with all the fun designers like Marc Jacobs and Chloe in the middle. Fun – Fun. I spent the most part of my day there checking out the Gucci Britt Medium Top Handle Bag’s. Yummy. It’s so simple but very classy in its logo-less dress with the eye-catching double G logo. Oh I adore it.

The Gucci Britt is available in Brown (with green / red signature web), Black, Great White and Platino (above) with light gold hardware. The medium size carries a $1,730 price tag.
