Dolce & Gabbana Miss Silky Tote

November 30, 2007

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Silky Tote
Uhm, do those projecting leather horns fold in?? This bag had potential, all they had to do was tuck-in that extra material on the sides. I will give Dolce credit on the design and functionality. I totally love all the space – double zip top compartments on each side of the spacious main compartment, plus a couple interior zipper protected pockets, and an exterior easy-access zipper pocket, which is very convenient when using such an open tote.

On the downside, this bag retails for an extreme (for this bag) $2,195 (*gasp*). I’m just saying, it wont be too soon when you see this bag on the clearance shelves, sadly where most Dolce bags have taken up residence.

Maria Bonita Extra Sequin Pouch Purse
It’s that time of the year again, where Holiday parties and events are filling up our calendars. So naturally it’s time to hunt for the ideal evening piece that will match with your nightly wardrobe, plus wont suck your account dry or cost a chunk of change.

Well search no more, and check out the shiny new Maria Bonita Extra Sequin Pouch. This bag was dipped in sequins and is oozing with opulence. The sparkly designer purse is designed with a hinged frame and a magnetic-snap closure to keep your goodies protected in the lined tummy from spewing everywhere, plus a long chain strap with a piece on the top for comfort. Best part, this little glamorous beauty retails for only $300!

Prada Crispy Nylon Hobo Handbag
I think it’s pretty much well established that Prada (as well as Kate Spade,) own an infinite supply of nylon material which they use to continuously pump out new bags season after season with the occasional updated fresh style. The latest bag style produced is this puffy padded quilted nylon Crispy Hobo. Image of down jackets anyone?

Designer Handbag Sale: Pauric Sweeney Patent Purse
I am so crazy about the color purple! This season purple and patent leather has been seen everywhere, definitely a hot trend.

I first discovered the designer Pauric Sweeney bags back when Lindsay Lohan was first spotted with this bag in the python version back in October of last year. That bag was a hot, but not as electrifying as this purple shiny patent version. I love it.

This delicious glossy glazed Pauric Sweeney bag is dressed in a high volume glossy pink-ish purple patent leather with a light contrast tan color detailing. This bag also features four stud feet, two whipstitch woven detailed shoulder handles and the signature ornament tassel that hangs from the handle with silver cubes on the end. The mouth of this bag is kept shut with the zip top closure that slides open to reveal the fully lined interior. There is also one single exterior pocket on the front for easy accessibility, like for your cell phone or keys – the items you want close.

Miu Miu Balloon Gathered Top Tote

November 27, 2007

Miu Miu Balloon Gathered Top Tote
To me this newbie looks something like a super sized blown up plastic-ey looking leather bag (much like Marni’s Balloon Bag). Don’t get my wrong, when Marni’s balloon bag first made its debut a while back, I was a total fan of the puffy inflatable purse look, but now the thrill has died off. What do you guys and gals think? Is Miu Miu’s new swelled designer handbag a hit or miss?

The body of this purse is made of grained leather with a gathering effect at the top. Also features an easy-in/easy-out magnetic snap closure, double rolled leather handles plus a removable shoulder strap for the days you don’t feel like toting along your bag on the crook of your arm. Right now it’s only available in this red (Rosso) color with gold-tone hardware at Barney’s.
