Guess Who: Celebrity with the Louis Vuitton Mahina Bag
First off.. this owner is extremely lucky to have such a gorgeous jaw-dropping purse. The Mahina Bag is a newbie to the House of Louis Vuitton. It features a slouchy-style body with a print that reminds me of the Onatah handbag line with the LV signature and flower perforation technique. This bag also features dual side buckles which lift the bag’s bottom up, giving it a ruffle-pleated effect.

So who’s the lucky little lady?

Accessories De Mademoiselle: The Inspired-by Hermes Birkin Bag
pictured above: American Actress Meredith Monroe (best-known for her role as Andie McPhee on Dawson’s Creek) was recently spotted with the Accessories De Mademoiselle Purse.

We here at Bag Bliss understand that money doesn’t grow on trees and not everyone can afford luxury designer handbags like the Hermes Birkin, which will set you back about $8k for just a basic leather version. This is why many designers try their best to produce handbags that imitate the features and characteristics, without crossing the knockoff line into the replica zone. Those bags that are considered inspired-by are, in most occasions, found for a fraction of what the designer bag would cost. This bag for instance is the Hermes-Birkin-inspired bag by Accessories De Mademoiselle (a handbag company out of Tokyo Japan) which can be discovered at yoox carrying a price tag of only $378.

Purse Deal: The Isabella Fiore Jill Hobo
And then there was one. All the other bags have ran away to their new parents while for the last few months the Jill has sat patiently waiting for a new owner to come forth. With a final mark down price of $359, you can find this bag sitting alone like an unpopular kid in the cafeteria.

Awww doesn’t anybody like the Isabella Fiore Jill Hobo?

The Jill is currently available in brown or ivory handcrafted Italian leather with unique geometric seam details streaming down the body. This purse also comes accessorized with aged brass hardware, and her Logo-etched nameplate on side pocket. And yes, what’s inside counts to. The bag’s tummy is lined with a vibrant textile lining with two interior patch pockets, cell phone pocket, and leather-trimmed zip pocket. Measurements are 17″ x 11″ x 7.5″. So, not too small and not too fat. She’s perfect for a day-to-day errand bag!

Victoria Beckham and her Hermes Baccara Crocodile Clutch
The “Posh� Victoria Beckham was spotted at fashion week dressed in a bold Oscar de la Renta green and black mini, wearing Givency heels, spotting oversized sunglasses from her own DVB line, and toting around her vibrant emerald green Hermes Baccara Crocodile Clutch.

I’ve never seen Victoria with this gem-colored Baccara before. But that’s not too surprising since she has one of the biggest Hermes collections in the whole world (not exaggerating).

Purse Deal: Thomas Wylde Suncross Hollywood Skull Mission Bag
I just stumbled upon this previous season Thomas Wylde purse like 2 seconds ago and already I am typing away telling you guys about this fabulous deal, because when it’s gone you wont see it again unless it’s resting on the virtual shelves of ebay.

If you are craving to get a piece of the skull trend at a fraction of the price (maybe you want to save for the Thomas Wylde Bag of Tricks or T.W. Barolo Clutch) then wander on over to electricladyland(.com) and check out the rocker-chic Suncross Hollywood Skull Mission Hobo. But you better discover it soon, I can’t promise this one will be around much longer.

Price: $2265 $1133

side note: This same Thomas Wylde Hollywood Skull Mission bag (in black) is currently for sale on ebay. 3 days left with a current bid of only $355.

The Bulga Clear Vinyl Tote
It is a rare occasion for me to be blown away by a bag produced from the brand Bulga. Their bags are often boring in design and lack appeal. Which brings me to this bag, the clear pvc plastic Bulga Tote. The all-vinyl purse doesn’t show style or quality, or even some mark or characteristic that would show it’s by Bulga. It’s just a plain plastic tote that looks like you got from Target or something. Also summer is over. Why would you sport a clear plastic tote during the fall-winter season? That’s kind of a summer thing. I say toss in the junk bin. What do you guys think?

There is also this same bag for a couple hundred more in patent leather (brown or tan). Also at ShopBop.

The Sissi Rossi Multi Zipper Shopping Bag
The first collection of Sissi Rossi bags were produced only a few years ago (okay 1999. but that wasn’t that long ago ;) ) and already they have perfected their bags into stunning pieces that not only embrace style but functionality at an affordable price.

One of the latest bags by Sissi Rossi, that I’m totally in love with, is the slouchy multi zipper tote in the grey color. It’s also available in black, but if you’re like me and wear so much black when fall / winter rolls around then this is a great substitute for that basic black tote.

The bag is dressed in a supple washed-leather with minimal brass hardware and features not just one, but three roomy extra-large separate compartments. There is one main section when you open the bag (no zipper) that is a perfect size for your school or work needs like a laptop, notebook and folders. There is also two large zipper protected sections located at the front and back, ideal for your phone, keys, wallet, and cosmetic case. Basically anything that you don’t want to get lost under your notebooks and folders.

Like most designer purses, it comes with a dust bag. But I’m sure if you had this bag you it would never see that dark corner of your closet. Well for this season that is or until you find a new love.

Song Hye Kyo (Celine “Miss Song� Bag) is coming to America!
Back in July Bag Bliss revealed the news and sparked the interest of many Celine enthusiasts that a new Celine bag designed by Korean Actress Song Hye Kyo, called the “Miss Song,� was expected to be released this fall, but sadly reported only in Asia. Since the news broke the label noticed that the new limited edition bag (which basically looks like Celine’s Bittersweet purse) also sparked interest in Europe as well as in the US (well duh), so have decided to release a limited number of purses to the Celine boutiques around the world.

Keep an eye out. This L.E. newbie should be arriving on store shelves soon…

side note: Song Hye Kyo is the first Korean star to have an international designer bag named after her. Congrats.
