Straw handbags are everywhere right now. But I suppose that is to be expected, given the fact that summer is just around the corner. When it comes to straw handbags though, they typically come in the form of a beach tote. Surely, there is nothing wrong with straw beach totes. It’s just that it’s more fun to see this material being used in more unexpected ways. That’s why I’m loving the Anya Hindmarch Ipanema Straw Clutch!
I’m not going to lie. I write about a lot of fringed handbags. I don’t know what it is, but for some reason I find fringe fascinating. The feeling of a mountain of fringe swinging back and forth with every move you make certainly puts a spring in your step. How could anyone possibly resist? So when I see a delightfully fringed handbag, I find it hard to resist writing about it! And here we go again, with yet another fringed bag. Meet the Motif 56 woven Josie Bag!
I absolutely love the look of the Proenza Schouler PS1 Satchel! The classic messenger bag shape and luxurious leather make it an iconic piece that just about any bagista would treasure for years. There are also other PS1 styles floating around out there such as a tote and a crossbody pouch. They all have the same “look” as the PS1 Satchel. It is this look that I have come to associate with this designer’s handbags. So when I stumbled upon the Proenza Schouler PS11 you see here, I did not immediately recognize it as being from this designer.
The flowers are blooming and the birds are singing… Spring is definitely in the air! That means it’s time to put those fur pieces away until Fall, right? Right!? Well, apparently nobody told Fendi that! Stealing the show on the Fendi SS2012 runway was a clutch… with fur. Introducing the Fendi Beaded Snakeskin Daisy Clutch with Fox Fur Trim!
