Luella Bartley | Spring 2007 Runway Handbag Collection
Alright Bagista’s and Bagister’s, we have our first set of designer bags from the spring 2007 Runway, which I have been obsessively waiting for. Sadly though I am not that impressed after viewing Luella’s new collection. Here are a few bags from her collection. Later on today I will post more images in the bag forum, so if you want to view more of this collection and others, feel free to stop in.

I can’t stand the sight of disco balls. The rest of this bag looks okay at other views, however if I had this bag I would have to clip off that disco ball.

Luella Bartley | Spring 2007 Handbag Collection
Luella’s black and white alphabet bags are definitely an eye-catcher but I wouldn’t waste my money on this bag. I have no idea what the retail is, but to me it looks like it belongs in Target (remembering Luella’s Go International at Target Bags).

The floral prints. Ehh I have never been one to decorate my wardrobe for floral prints.

Luella | Gisele Handbag | On Sale $599.89 | View!
Long ago the Luella Gisele was once the hottest “It Bag” of the season. It was first introduced in later months of 2003, but was not instantly crowned with the “It Bag” status until months later when we saw it on the arms of almost all fashionable starlets and celebrities. Wonder what’s in the name? Young designer Luella Bartley named the Luella Gisele bag after the Brazilian beauty supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

Even though this bag dropped it’s “It Bag” Status, it’s still one bag that is admired by all ages. See below, Jennifer Aniston and Mischa Barton are still toting theirs.

On the left is a snapshot of Jennifer Aniston in the movie Derailed. Bag of choice is the Luella Gisele.

Celebrity | Victoria Beckham | Luella Striped Stevie Tote
Victoria Beckham (pre-hair chopped off) with the fabulous Luella Stevie Striped Tote (and wearing an Abercrombie tank). I had this celebrity picture in my archive for the longest time just never posted it because I couldn’t locate this bag. Well here it is, the Luella Striped Stevie, on sale too!

* * * *Update: Unbelievable! Once again I find a hot designer bag deal and it sells out within 10 minutes after posting. I am starting to feel like the woot.com for handbags! Searching. . . not the same bag, but here is the Luella Stevie Leather Tote in solid chocolate brown leather via net-a-porter. Sorry, it’s not on sale.

Luck on eBay: Luella east /west Stevie shoulder bag in color Chino, a leather Luella Gisele handbag in the color camel, Luella Bartley Baby Gisele handbag in the color white, and finally a deep dark green Luella Gisele handbag.

Designer Handbag Deal of the Day
Luella | Joni Bag | On Sale $498 (orig. $995) | View!
Have you ever wondered where a designer gets the idea of how to name a handbag line? For this Joni bag Luella decided to pay tribute to singer Joni Mitchell and designed this beautiful red textured lambskin studded bag. Oh and this bag is also available in Black python, but you have to search around for it, I couldn’t locate one online.

Designer Handbag Deal of the Day!
Luella | Lucca Fringed Hobo | On Sale $995.25 | Discover The Sale!
If you love fringe then you may love the Luella Lucca Fringed Hobo. Personally I’m not that in love with the dangling details, or anything fringe for that matter. When I first saw this tasseled bag I got the image of those ugly leather fringe jackets (sorry if you own one). If I had this Luella Lucca or if someone purchased it as a gift for me, then I would have the urge to snip it off the tassels. Am I the only one here that dislikes the fringe? I think the bag would look just fine with out.

FYI this bag usually retails for $1,327 and can now be found on the clearance rack at net-a-porter for the discounted, but still highly priced $995.25.

Designer Handbag Deal of the Day!
Luella Bartley | Net Bag | Daily Deal $29.99 | Check it Out at Target.com

Any handbag under $30 is going to make my list for ‘Designer Handbag Deal of the Day’. The color isn’t exactly one of my favorites, I’m not a fan of bright orange bags, however if it came in white I would buy 2. Although I like the bag, I have to make fun of the reviews people posted about this bag on the Target site.

Reviewer: Anonymous from NY
“Color is way too bright and netting is really like netting – feel like I’m carrying Ronald McDonald’s wig around in my hand. . .”
Jenn says: well the bag is called the Luella Net Bag Orange Bolt

Reviewer: Anonymous from NJ
“. . . for us legal drinkers, removing the heart and flower charms is an easy option for “maturing-up” the look of the bag.”
Jenn says: Yea uhm I don’t think that would do it
