Anya Hindmarch was Robbed!
Handbag thieves strike again, and this time fashion designer Anya Hindmarch is the latest victim. Within the last few months, the Luella Bartley and Marc Jacobs london boutiques were raided, which resulted in the loss of thousands of dollars worth of this seasons latest designer handbags, clutches, purses and totes.

Anya Hindmarch is the latest designer to be targeted by a gang of fashion thieves on mopeds who have been raiding designer stores in London. A group of burglars raided the store on Ledbury Road in the early hours of this morning and made off with a bunch of handbags. The loss is estimated to be around $40,000.

No major leads, but the police believe these robberies are connected. No designer is safe….

The Louis Vuitton Mahina XXL Handbag
The long anticipated arrival of the latest Louis Vuitton Mahina has come to an end! This beauty can now be discovered on the virtual shelf of eluxury where it retails for (*drumroll*) a whopping $3,750.

This bag also features a hook closure secured by a flap and clasp with the Louis Vuitton signature, an internal zippered pocket and a D-ring for attaching a pouch or key holder (which you will need if you go with the xxl), and side buckles for adjusting the size and bottom studs for protection.

The Fendi Selleria Handbag
Looking for something more striking than the average bag. One that is available in limited edition, so not everyone walking down the street owns the same bag as you, then discover the rare furry-style Selleria Bag. Labeled one of “The Most Extravagant Designer Handbags in the World” by Forbes Magazine, the Selleria bag (like the one pictured above) can be made to order with two of the world’s rarest and most luxurious animal skins, sable and chinchilla. The price of that luxe version will set your back $38,000, but you must contact Fendi(.com) to order. Or you can just stick with the simpler leather version that retails for only $1,410 at Saks.

Katie Jordan Price Loves her ‘Fake’ Leopard Hermes Birkin Bag
Katie ‘Jordan’ Price (aka Katrina Alexandra Infield) made an appearance at Lewes Crown Court earlier this week as her ex-nanny went on trial accused of falsely claiming benefits and stealing from the mum of three. Bag for the occasion, was a replica leopard-print Hermes Birkin Bag. I don’t get it. Lord knows she could afford the real thing. The Daily Mail reported that Price and her husband Peter Andre were ranked at #2, second only to David Beckham and Victoria Beckham and that their fortune weighs in at $60 million and rising. Price currently stands as one of the richest women in Britain. So what’s up with the fake Hermes Birkin Bag?

The Glamorous Valentino Leather Glam Tote
The latest addition to Valentino’s handbag collection for fall is this truly luxurious Glam Tote. This fabulous shoulder bag was made for the lady who craves the spacious oversized purse but doesn’t want to settle for a plain ol’ tote.

This simple tote is dressed in a luxurious glossy white-ish silver buffalo leather with a detachable gold and Swarovski crystal chain strap. Usually I am one to remove the extra shoulder strap and toss it in the dustbag soon as I get it, but the sparkly shoulder strap is just so eyecatching – worthy of staying clipped.
