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.
