Madonna’s $471,000 Chanel Bag
Now we all love a good Chanel bag, but do you think you could you love one enough to pay $471,000 for it? Well that is how much somebody paid for Madonna’s Chanel bag at the annual amfAR Cinema Against AIDS benefit when it was auctioned off. The bag features alligator leather and a clasp studded with 334 diamonds. It was the bag that Madonna carried to the benefit and included everything she carried in the bag including, Shu Uemura blotting paper and lip gloss, lip balm, a magnifying mirror, and throat lozenges.

Now I guess this bag has a lot to offer. First off, its simply a beautiful Chanel bag….alligator leather and a diamond clasp. That is definitely a one of a kind bag that not everyone can get. Secondly, this is Madonna’s bag! Madonna! The queen of pop! I mean owning anything of hers is pretty awesome, let alone a Chanel bag with all of her belongings in it. Lastly, the money went to benefiting an AIDS charity.

Now, not many of us could pay $471,000 for a Chanel bag, but I guess overall this was a pretty good buy that benefited a great cause. Go Madonna!

eBay Alert: Madonna’s Calvin Klein Swarovski Clutch
Right now on eBay there is a huge charity auction currently in progress that offers designer handbags direct from the designer and guaranteed authentic. It is called 7th on Sale.

About the Charity: 7th on Sale is back with a one-of-a-kind fashion experience that offers shoppers thousands of items direct from the world’s top designers. For the second time, a worldwide audience can bid online for celebrity-worn gowns, magazine-worthy home goods, brilliant jewelry and more. Look for new items daily. Once again, 100% of the money raised goes to services and housing for those living with HIV and AIDS.

One of the gems that caught my eye was this Calvin Klein Swarovski crystal envelope clutch used by Madonna at the 2007 Vanity Fair Oscar party. I love the oversized not non-structured look, plus matched with all those sparkling Swarovski crystals makes this piece totally worthy of any dress up occasion.

M by Madonna Handbags and Accessories
Ready. Set. (almost a) Go! The new M by Madonna line will be available in stores worldwide starting tomorrow, March 22 and will be sold at H&M’s 1,300 stores in 26 countries.

The bags are simple, but I absolutely love them. Especially the black and white purse pictured above. Not to mention the price of these bags are insanely reasonable - I’m talking under $200. The price range for the new M by Madonna line of accessories varies from $13 for a scarf and up to only around $150 for a leather bag.

Now since the M by Madonna already released in Hong Kong earlier this month there are bunch of clothing and accessories from this line ready to be discovered on eBay, which is helpful if you don’t have an H&M in your area. Now that’s a reason to exercise your debit cards.

Coffee cups an accessory? I think so. I noticed while strolling throughout the streets of Seattle it seems as if everyone (especially in the early hours of the morning) has a coffee cup in hand. The trendiest Seattle Coffee cups (if that were possible) to be seen with are Seattle Best, Starbuck and Tully’s. It’s such a necessity that really is it that crazy to consider it an accessory? Even I can be seen anywhere (beach, shopping, ect) with a coffee cup in one hand and my designer purse in the other. Everyday before class I religiously get a coffee, even if I’m running late I would have to make it through the coffee stand. The importance of doing so is as essential as getting ready in the morning. Maybe I am the only one who feels that a coffee cup can be an accessory, it could very well just be my coffee addiction speaking.
Celebrities and Their Handbags
Celebrity | Madonna | (vintage) Starbucks Coffee Cup | New Face for Louis Vuitton
Madonna loves her (vintage) Starbucks Coffee Accessory. I don’t know if you noticed, but Starbucks recently went retro and changed their emblem back to the original Starbucks logo, therefore Madonna is sporting a vintage.

Speaking of Madonna, queerplanet.co.uk reported that pop icon Madonna is set to become the new face of French luxury fashion brand Louis Vuitton, if plans for the deal go through.
