Do any of you ladies remember the Jimmy Choo Project Pep Tote? My good ol’ buddy Marissa wrote about it back in October.

To be honest, I felt as though the bag had been ripped on a bit too harshly. After all, the bag was produced for the purpose of benefiting the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Admittedly, the Jimmy Choo Project Pep Tote is a bit flashy and loud. It is definitely not for the faint of heart. But from what I was reading in the blog comments section, it appeared that there were quite a few people out there that liked the bag and felt that it was donating to a good cause. But what if you liked the bag, but you thought the collage look was just a little too over-the-top for everyday use? Well fear not, my friends!

What’s better than finding an amazing Carlos Falchi bag at a sample sale price? Carlos Falchi at Tar-jay for under $50. So frugal!

Sunday November 1st the limited edition Carlos Falchi bag collection will hit your neighborhood Target, and will also be available at a click of a mouse away online. Be prepared for all the favorites to get snatched up first! If you’re not there within hours of the doors opening (online as well) you may find that some inventory will sell out fast.

The capsule collection includes his signature hobos, bags, messengers and satchels with prices ranging from $19.99 to $49.99 (compare that to the $1,000-$4,000 for his high-end line). The bags will be slightly less extravagant as his high-end line, which means of course don’t expect to see any of his signature exotic bags there, but rather all synthetic. The line will feature his classic design looks, only made with faux-snake, in jewel tones of teal and purple and also shades of greys, browns and blacks.

Undoubtedly the bags will be amazing. The Brazilian-born designer has been designing breathtaking bags for over 3 decades and is well known for his signature handbags and use of exotic skins, fine leathers and vibrant color combinations.

Below is your sneak peek into the Carlos Falchi for Target Collection:

Mischa Barton handbag line
Unless you have been living under a rock, then you’re aware that Miss Mischa has her very own purse line, which is now available over @ ASOS.com. You can find everything from wallets and clutches to jumbo day bags in material works of leather, snakeskin or fabric and finished off with the signature flower logo by Mischa. How much? Price range is about $40 to $300.

A unique and indead interesting collection. But would you wear one? I know Mischa Barton hasn’t. This starlet who is pictured on a daily basis with a Chanel purse (and is known for her huge collection of), has yet to be photographed with one of “her creations”.

Would you rock one?

Louis Vuitton Monogramouflage Jasmine
As most of you bagista’s already know, Marc Jacobs and Takashi Murakami once again impress the fans of French couture brand Louis Vuitton with an artistic collaboration like no other. Their latest unique and hip design is no longer a secret to the world of fashion and is now available to its consumers via the Internet! That’s right fashionista’s, head on over to eLuxury (dot com) now, and pick up one of the latest pieces of the Monogramouflage line before they’re gone! Even before this line was released to the public, I got mixed impression by Vuitton fans via forums and fashion critics. It seems like everybody either likes the combination of Camo and Vuitton’s signature logo, or they simply dislike the line all together. Take for example the Jasmine pictured above. When I read what the Monogramouflage design would look like, I never imagined I could have found interest in the design at all. Once I got a visual image of what the line looked like, I liked it. Also, like most Vuitton bags, I’m pretty sure the Monogramouflage pieces are a lot more impressive in person rather than in the stock photos that most only glimpse at. So how do you ladies feel about this line, and most importantly, would you wear a piece of Monogramouflage?

Special Edition Hermes Kelly Bag: Proceeds to fight Aids in Monaco
Brief History: It all began in the 1880’s, when the legendary house began as making saddles under the name of Hermes-Freres. Then by the 1920’s Hermes introduced their first line of ladies handbags.

In 1956 while pregnant with Princess Caroline, Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco was photographed in New York City by Life Magazine carrying the large black crocodile Kelly bag, which was used to cover her pregnant tummy. After this image appeared on the cover of Life Mag, the bag became a hit and was later renamed the Kelly bag.

Hermes created a limited edition Kelly bag for Artcurial’s annual Hermes vintage sale, featuring a portrait of Grace Kelly printed on canvas.

Guess how much the bag sold for… $80,906, with all proceeds from the sale of the bag going to Princess Grace’s daughter Princess Stephanie’s charity Fight Aids Monaco.

Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier Handbags
Who doesn’t love Ed Hardy T-shirts? Lot’s of celebrities like Madonna and Carrie Underwood have been seen wearing one of Christian Audigier’s tattoo-inspired creations. And Brittney Spears? She’s an Ed Hardy fanatic! (hehe… not that too many people care what Brittney is doing nowadays)

I actually like Ed Hardy’s T-shirts as well. I’m not completely wacky over them, but I do own a few who’s designs caught my eye. So when I heard that Ed Hardy had handbags, I was definitely curious. A bag with tattoos on it? Hmm… my first thought was that I hoped they would not resemble Dooney’s disastrous Tattoo collection. Does anyone remember those? Hearts with “MOM” on them. Ugh! I needed to see for myself exactly what the Ed Hardy handbags were like, so I made my way over to their official website. Here’s what I found: The Sylvia Bag is Red Stripe.

Now some of the Ed Hardy bags, I’ll have to admit, are not particularly attractive. And some even resemble Thomas Wylde designs… only in a bad way. But this Sylvia bag caught my eye because of its bright colors and beautiful flower design. It wouldn’t be a bag for every day, of course. But it would be pretty cute out on the beach or just as a casual summer tote.

All Ed Hardy handbags are made of heavy canvas and trimmed with genuine leather. The prices range from $69 for a clutch to $275 for a large bag. You can check them out at the official Ed Hardy website
