I’ve known about Diane von Furstenberg for quite some time now. I didn’t fall in love with her designs until I discovered her luggage collection. I’ll be honest I found her luggage sets at discount stores but I was in awe of how beautiful they were! I literally bought a $350+ bag for $70! Not to shabby, especially for the quality. I still have the carry on bag today and it still looks brand new!

Another love of mine is Ms. Furstenberg’s handbags and clothes. Anything designed by this amazing fashion house always screams elegance, sophistication and beauty. When I came across the “Sporty Drew” Satchel my mouth dropped. It was another stunning design by Diane von Furstenberg and I love it. Ironically, I read this morning that “Tango Tangerine” was going to be the “it” color next year. Then I stumbled upon the “Sporty Drew” which is available in a color that is almost identical to the new “it” color. Coincidence? I think not!

When the heck did this happen? I totally must have missed something here. We all know Helmut Lang, right? That lovely fashion label that was relaunched by Michael and Nicole Colovos a few years back? You know, the one with the neutral tones and edgy, yet minimalistic designs. Yes, that one! Well, apparently the company doesn’t just have a clothing line anymore. Somewhere along the line, a handbag collection was added. Hmm, wonder how I missed that one. But hey, this is certainly not a bad thing. Just check out this Helmut Lang Primal Two-Tone Leather Satchel! If this bag is any indication of what is to come, then I am definitely looking forward to seeing more of Helmut Lang in the world of handbags!

You have got to love the power of the social networking! It seemed like just yesterday, I was typing up one of the juiciest accounts to hit both fashion world and handbag editorials. Today, the collection has arrived! Let’s recap the dealings from last season:

Bag Snob Blogger Tina Craig tweets an offense that was heard around DKNY headquarters. She was simply doing her job of critiquing the smooshy and extra-pleated designs of the Eldridge bag by Donna Karan. Craig’s tweet, which stated that the bag resembled a sea creature, caught the attention of DKNY PR. On the defensive line, DKNY personnel tweeted back “Haven’t you ever taken a picture of yourself that just doesn’t do you justice?” Through the keyboard jabs emerged a discussion which lead to the proud collaboration between Bag Snob x DKNY. Can you say winners on both sides? It was the DKNY firm that provided the production but the Bag Snob women who composed the designs, incorporated by their love of handbags and with real-deal bagista fundamentals in mind.

When I first saw the Marni Studded Tote, I thought how great it would look this fall slung over my shoulder. A great finishing touch with my new denim and boots! In reality, it’s much more versatile than that. Perfect paired with prepster, boho, casual chic or even office ready styles. This bag features, functionality, versatility and loads of straightforward personality.
