To celebrate Louis Vuitton‘s 100th anniversary of the monogram canvas in 1996, Louis Vuitton selected a handful of designers to create their own signature piece. One of the designers asked was Spanish shoe designer Manuel “Manolo” Blahnik Rodríguez.
His creation, an oval shoe trunk (obviously right?)
Because of the shortage of materials during WWII, Guccio Gucci started to experiment with other types of material such as jute, cotton canvas, linen and hemp with curved bamboo handles.
The collection finally evolved into one of the most iconic products of the House of Gucci, the Bamboo collection was born.
When you watch a tv show do you call out when you see a bag that you know? If you answered yes, you’re not alone, I to am guilty of this from time to time. One favorite of mine that was recently spotted on the arm of Countess LuAnn from the Real Housewives of New York is the Katherine Kwei Donna Satchel. After seeing this picture it brings back memories of my Katherine Kwei Donna Satchel (same bag) that I sold on eBay *kicking myself*
Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent is described as feminine, hip, and confident. When people hear the name, they probably think of the clothing line. Comfortable and sexy, her clothing pieces (I love her dresses!) are every girl’s dream. But handbags… yes, she does handbags as well. What an odd mix they can be too! She has everything from bright prints to neutral colorblocking. Speaking of colorblocking, I want you to take a look at this satchel I came across today. Introducing the Cynthia Vincent Dunnaway Colorblock Satchel!

Who says dogs are man’s best friend? I will have you know that I love my dog very much! She’s my spoiled rotten little brat, but she is also my best friend. I’m sure a lot of you ladies will agree with me when I say a dog is a girl’s best friend too! If you have a pup that you adore, then perhaps you would like a handbag that shows it. Meet the Dolce & Gabbana Bulldog Tapestry Bag!
One of my favorite shows in the world that I miss dearly is, Sex and the City. Every episode our eyes were flooded with fashion. I remember, I always loved Carrie Bradshaw’s clutches. She carried all kinds of handbags but she was mostly a clutch type of gal. Let’s also not forget that her clutch was always accompanied by a pair of gorgeous Manolo Blahnik’s. We’ll save the shoe talk for later though.

As I’ve stated over and over in the past month, I’m currently obsessed with anything pink. My birthday is less than two weeks away and there’s nothing I would love more than pink fashionable accessories! I’ve been searching the internet like a mad woman for pink handbags, key rings and wallets. Nothing has really caught my eye until I saw the CLARE VIVIER Nubuck Messenger. It’s a gorgeous shade of pink that also happens to be a very hot, popular and trendy color right now. I’m not one for trends but this color is so eye popping and stunning!
