Right now it’s available for pre-order and is expected to ship out no later than October 8th. Price of this exclusive bubble gum pink gem will set you back a whopping $8,990.

Purse Deal: Gryson Olivia Mini Duffle Bag
Joy Gryson, ex head designer of accessories for Marc Jacobs, is the designer of this fabulous oversized day bag, the Olivia Purse from the Pocket Group.

The body of this mini duffle is made of white Italian cowhide leather, features braided handle straps, adjustable longer shoulder straps, solid brass hardware in a new silver finish, signature ID tag, and an interior lined in suede.

The Gryson Olivia in all white with contrasting luggage brown trim is currently at Neiman Marcus where it retails for $895. However, if you don’t care for the brown trim and are in the mood to save a couple bucks (maybe for another bag, hehe) wander on over to RareChic (.com). Resting on the clearance shelves of this newly discovered trendy boutique is the all white Olivia version. Best part? It’s on sale for 50% off right now. Better stop in quick though, something tells me this purse is going to be gone within days.

Bag for Babies: Zahara Jolie-Pitt with her Valentino Histoire Bag
I can only imagine that someday I will pop out my own mini-me, or adopt-a-baby like Mrs. Angelina Jolie-Pitt, and when I do my baby is so-o going to rock a teeny purse.

The craving for luxury goods is starting at a younger age than I thought. Recently the little youngster Zahara stepped out with Goodwill Ambassador / Celebrity Mom sporting the same bag, the Valentino Histoire Bag.

Punk-Chic Thomas Wylde Bag of Tricks
Bag Bliss is going crazy for punk-chic label Thomas Wylde! The label is the child of former British Model Paula Thomas, who named the brand after her grandfather Thomas Wylde. Her signature skull bags have been spotted on the arms of Hollywood’s fashionable such as Sienna Miller, Kate Hudson, the Olsen-duo and Lindsay Lohan.

I don’t know if you have received your eluxury fall 2007 catalog yet in your mailbox (if you haven’t there is a free one for your browsing online), but surprise-surprise it featured the skull trend again. Not just any skulls, but skulls by Thomas Wylde!

Remember the super hot rocker-chic Thomas Wylde Barolo Clutch that Bag Bliss would kill for? Yeah it was in the catalog. Along with the T.W. Bag Of Tricks purse, which was totally mesmerizing. The bag comes dressed in shiny textural grained leather, polished gunmetal hardware with skull ornament detailing and finished off with super chucky link chain handles. The bag was made in 3 colors: simple black, gunmetal silver, and (our favorite) light grey.

Totes for Teachers: Zac Posen & DHL Launch a New Bag
“I designed this bag to be fun, feminine, easily accessible and a little sporty. The bag’s vibrant red and yellow colors were inspired by the signature colors of my partner, DHL, a company that travels the world transporting so many valuable shipments. My hope is that fashionable and civic-minded ladies will carry the bag in acknowledgement of the very special teachers in their lives.” – Zac Posen

This is an interesting collaboration. DHL, the world’s leading global express delivery company, and Zac Posen, the New York-based fashion designer, have joined forces to raise money and awareness for TeachersCount, a national non-profit organization in the “Tote for Teachers” campaign.

The ZP-DHL Tote is made in Italian leather with DHL’s signature red and yellow colors. Each of these envelope-style totes will retail for $400 with 100% of the proceeds going to the non-profit organization. Yeah that’s right 100%! The bags also come with complimentary DHL ground delivery.
