This is a little guessing game. . . .
What celebrity is always photographed with a chanel handbag? So often that you wonder if she owns any other designer bag besides Chanel (she does).

When asked by a reporter (Cron.com) “How many Chanel bags do you have?” Her response was “I probably have 15 or 20. It’s not ridiculous. I probably get a bag every season from them (‘them’ – when she was cast member of a certain show) and then I buy the ones that I really want.”

Jimmy Choo | Coco Clutch | View!
The Jimmy Choo Coco hand held petite evening clutch is decorated with rows upon rows of gold studs with a golden lined cut-out handle casing.

If you don’t like the attention grabbing studded Coco bag then electronically wonder on over to Net-a-Porter (View!), there they have the simple plain black Coco for almost (get this) half off from the Coco stud – $750. Personally I would save my money on this one. The Jimmy Choo Coco with the studs is too rocker-chic for me and the plain black is (well, just) too plain.

Pictured above is one of the scanned pages from the Hong Kong edition of Prestige Magazine for October 2006. In charge of the wardrobe for this photo shoot was Celebrity stylish Rachel Zoe (no big surprise) – bag of choice for Miss Barton was the Jimmy Choo studded Coco Evening bag.

Mulberry | Patchwork Bayswater Handbag View!
For the Autumn 2006 season English luxury brand Mulberry decided to “re-interpret it’s British heritage for the modern day”. One of the bags from the collection is the popular Mulberry Bayswater handbag. For this season, the Rio Patchwork comes decorated with the Mulberry’s seasonal leaf motif in waves of coffee, tan and chestnut patchwork toned (sheepskin leather) hues. The bag has a flap closure secured behind the buckle, a signature Mulberry bush logo on plaque and signature gold padlock fastening hidden in pouch on handle.

In my opinion the Mulberry Bayswater is a fantastic bag for any fashionable person who likes to carry everything in their life within reach in their bag. The bag is roomy and has a classic image, a trend that will never dye off. I love the Mulberry Bayswater, however the design of this patchwork bag (even though to me it has Autumn written all over it) is just not my cup of tea. I would prefer one of the more classic colors such as in chocolate or black.

eBay Alert Well lookie what I found, the same Mulberry Rio Patchwork Bayswater (click to view) bag up on eBay for a buy it now price of only $881 – that’s a deal of $514 off retail! That price is mighty impressive. If you are not a fan of the patchwork, then check out these other classic Mulberry deals via eBay:
