The Moschino Muffin Bag
If a designer finds great success in the sale of a designer handbag that is loved generally throughout most of the purse community they will continue the line of success slightly-revamping it along the way until they decide to go another direction.

While flipping through Vogue for this up and coming month of August I was blown away when I came upon pictures of the new Moschino Muffin Bag. The bag is truly breathtaking. The purse reminds me of one of their bags that they came out with a while back under their Cheap & Chic Line - a less expensive but similar in quality line.

The bags, as you see share similar strong details, such as the pleated sides that scrunch up and gather at the mouth with a thin belt that loops around holds it all together clamping shut with a heart and key charm lock.

When the Cheap & Chic was still available it retailed for just under $1,000 while this new Muffin bag retails anywhere from about $1,000 for the small and on up to $2,000 for the large.

> Right now over at Zappo’s there are a bunch of the Muffin bags in from simple canvas or leather to eye-catching metallics. Go on over at check them out! (My heart is set on the juicy red patent version - it’s totally stunning)

Bra-exposed Jessica Simpson photographed while spending the evening out. Bag for the occasion was none other than the Moschino Large Patent Shoulder Bag. I’m really glad she chose this bag. I have been getting kind of bored with her always photographed carrying a Louis Vuitton handbag. Well recently she has been mixing things up by carrying trendier bags like from her Jessica Simpson handbag line or the Michael Kors purse line, this is the first time I have seen her with Moschino - I like.
