Natalie Massenet can’t survive without her Jimmy Choo Saba Tote
Natalie Massenet, founder and chairman of net-a-porter.com: “I can’t survive London Fashion Week without my team and my oversized Saba tote by Jimmy Choo. It is chic yet spacious enough to hold everything I need during the day.”

The Jimmy Choo Saba tote is one of the latest stunning pieces from the design house. It’s a super simple everyday lightweight tote that features a spacious interior, a style that contours your side, and is topped off with African inspired bangles on the strap. I can see why Natalie Massenet is a fan! This bag is so unbelievably cute and perfect for everyday wear, especially for when spring rolls around. Such a fab summer bag.

There are so many choices to choose from. It comes in a variety of different looks: Leather in off white for $3,050, Suede in black or chocolate for $2,450, and Zebra print pony hair for $3,395. And since this is such a hot item, it’s already sold out in a few versions. Check out the stock on the Jimmy Choo website. If one of the bags you wanted is sold out, keep checking back with Net-a-porter and SaksFifthAvenue. They will surely get this bag soon.

update Jennifer said: You wont believe it.. moments after posting this the Saba hobo popped up on net-a-porter in the ‘new arrivals section’! Only the brown suede is available at this time.

Tilda Swinton and her Prada Fantasy Fairy Bag
Katherine Mathilda Swinton, famously known as Tilda Swinton, the two-time Golden Globe Award-nominated British actress known for both arthouse (aka “art cinema�? or “independent film”) and mainstream films. A couple recent movies under her belt include the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian, where she played a sinister White Witch Jadis; Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland), an upcoming fantasy horror film by Marilyn Manson. Which are all rather fantasy like, so I guess I wasn’t completely surprised when I stumbled upon these pictures of her at the Sundance Film Festival over the weekend toting along the new Prada Fairy Bag.

Prada Fantasy Fairy Bag
The Fantasy Fairy Designer Bag by Prada retails for around $2300.

Jodi Lyn O’Keefe & the Pauric Sweeney Pebble Detail Clutch
Prison Break Actress Jodi Lyn O’Keefe was recently spotted by the photographers while attending the Moonlight & Magnolias Event to benefit Lupus LA in Los Angeles. The bag for the occasion was her Pauric Sweeney pebble-y solid block pebble detailed clutch, which she’s ever so nicely showing off for the camera – I like featuring celebrities on events with their designer purses, but on most occasions the camera man doesn’t focus on the designer bag.

Speaking of Irish Designer Pauric Sweeney, I discovered a different version of the pebble stingray clutch on net-a-porter – and guess what? – it’s on sale for 40% off.

The Pauric Sweeney Pebble Detail Clutch
Dressed in a metallic black stingray suit and accessorized with a decorative pebble detailing that reaches up and over the top and down the front with gill details racing down on both sides. This clutch also comes with a metal chain strap and a press stud fastening closure that pops open to reveal the tan lining and single zip pocket inside. The Pauric Sweeney purse also comes topped off with the houses signature ornament, a soft-edged razor.

Price: $1,600 $960

Fendi To You Patchwork Textured Oversized Bag
A couple nights ago Eleanor Ylvisaker showed up at the Tribeca Grand screening of Cassandra’s Dream, hosted by the Cinema Society and DKNY Jeans, looking super casual and chic with her Fendi To You Patchwork Textured Oversized Bag.

What’s so cool about the To You bag is it’s two-in-one design which is workable for almost any event. Shoulder bag by day, then fold it up and clutch it close by night. It was designed for you, the bag lover that wants a bag that can be used for more than one occasion – day purse and a night bag in one.

Handbag Locater: Find the Fendi To You Purse, alongside a dozen other Fendi Designer handbags at Saks Fifth Avenue and net-a-porter. Or stroll on over to Bluefly and discover a couple of the To You bags on sale for up to 20% off. Better go quick, I’m sure they will be cleared out soon.
