Free People Chubby Change Keychains

May 12, 2008
post written by Bag Bliss blogger: BrS

Free People Chubby Change Keychains
Does anyone remember when Jennifer posted about the adorable Chubby Change Purses that Free People had to offer? Here’s a link to the post so you all can refresh your memories: Free People Chubby Change Purses. Well, it just so happens that I was the first one to post about those cute little guys over at TBF. Jennifer liked them so much, that she did a blog post on them. They must have done very well over at the Free People website because they are sold out of every color now except for the black.

Well, anyway, I was over at the Free People website today and I saw a new product that they have out. This one is called the Chubby Change Keychain. Instead of a kisslock, these little guys have a big zipper going down their bellies. And the key clip lets you attach your keys to the pouch or the pouch to something else (like the model’s belt loop). These guys aren’t as cute as the Chubby Change Purses, but they do have some charm. Plus they are available in 7 different colors/patterns! Perfect if you need something to just stuff some cash into and go!

These guys are a steal at only $24! They are available exclusively in Free People Boutiques and online at Free People’s official website. Check them out here: Free People Clothing Boutique

Foley + Corinna Jet Setter Jr. Tote

May 9, 2008
post written by Bag Bliss blogger: Deysa

Foley + Corinna Jet Setter Jr. Tote
I have officially been converted into a Foley + Corinna handbag admirer. Thanks to the lovely members over at tBF, I have added, and soon plan on buying a piece of the All-American brand. It seems to me that Foley+Corinna’s most popular handbags have to be the city collection. Whether it’s the clutch, tote, or mid., the cities seem to be the brands best sellers. What’s not to love about the versatile cities? You have the choice of a tote, a shoulder bag, or a huge strapless clutch.

What about this handbag? What do you Bagista’s think about it? Yes, it’s a F+C bag, but it’s a bit different, well, really different. It’s called the Jet Setter Jr. Tote, and personally, I am a fan of it. It’s not as versatile as the city pieces; instead, it’s a nice size shoulder bag, (that’s if you’re a fan of big bags). With a seven-inch strap drop, I imagine it fits nicely snuggled under the arm. Turn locks and buckles are features that can be found throughout this bag. So girls, would you rather carry a popular city piece, or would you rather try the different look of the Jet Setter style?

The SAK Glisten Patent Foldover Clutch

May 9, 2008
post written by Bag Bliss blogger: BrS

The SAK Glisten Patent Foldover Clutch
Ever since I won the gift card to the SAK in one of Jennifer’s fabulous giveaways (this was back before I was even a blogger), I have been receiving e-mails from the SAK. Normally when I think of this brand, I think of their signature crochet styles. I think the little mini bags are cute for a hippie-chic kind of look, but I really don’t like the big crochet ones. They sort of remind me of a fisherman’s basket or something.

Well, anyway, I received another e-mail from the SAK the other day. This one was promoting Mother’s Day specials. I was about the delete it when this image (pictured above) popped up. Hmm… what’s this? A patent leather bag that comes in pretty colors? So I went to their website to check it out. Here’s what I discovered: The bag is called the Glisten Patent Foldover Clutch. It comes in Black, Amber, Leaf, Raspberry, and White with this adorable print lining that was designed by Gilles Jourdan. And the best part? That silly braided strap is removable! Interestingly, it kind of reminds me of a Foley + Corinna bag, but at this price you can buy more than one! So if you’re looking for a simple, patent clutch then this just might be the one!

The SAK Glisten Patent Foldover Clutch:
- Removable Shoulder Strap
- Foldover Styling with Zippered Closure
- Three Interior Pockets (Two Slip and One Zippered)
- Measures 12″ x 1.5″ x 9″
- The Price? Only $109 Plus Free Shipping!

You can find it at their official website: THE SAK

Fantastic 14: Fourteen Fabulous Bags under $140

May 8, 2008
post written by Bag Bliss blogger: Jennifer
Fantastic 14: Fourteen Fabulous Bags under $140
Finding a fabulous handbag under the $140 make can be a difficult mission, especially if you’re not a fan of browsing the web for hours on end or if you try to spend limited time on the computer as is. Some sites, like for example yoox, you can spend hours getting through all of their pages of designer handbags. Sites like those have up to thousands of bags in their inventory. After a while, it could get a bit tedious.

So I combed through the galactic web-space with the mission to find fourteen stunning bags that retail for under $140.

My list is pictured below, but remember, if you guys have any that you want to add to the list feel free to post them here, in our fabulous sister site, The Bag Forum.

Forever21 Wooden Medallion Clutch on left
Yah-yah forever21 isn’t the number one place for designer handbag shoppers — their shelves are filled with inspired-by, some may say replica’s. However, this little soft colored medallion clutch looks nothing like the “wannabe designer bags” over at forever21. I think this is beyond super adorable. Also it retails for as much as a starbucks coffee + a blueberry scone. That’s a sweet deal.
- Find it for $12.80 @ Forever21

Julie K Handbags Envie Python Clutch on right
Love letter to you from Julie K. The envelope clutch is classic piece that’s destined to never go out of style. This delicious berry colored Envie envelope clutch is made with genuine python embossed leather, giving it the exotic look, without the steep price tag.
- Find it for $99 @ CoutureCandy

Top Shop Bow Clutch on left
The first image that ran through my head was the Yves Saint Laurent suede bow bag (lookie, there’s a bronze one on ebay), which is what initially reeled me in to read over the details. It’s just a simple soft clutch topped off with an elementary oversized bow. Effortlessly chic.
- Find it for $79 @ Top Shop

Jigsaw Leather Clutch on right
I am craving ruffles! This clutch is so adorable. It’s dressed in rows of leather ruffles — in a cupcake liner style. A perfect way to add a touch of femininity to any outfit. I just have so many outfits running through my head that can match with this clutch.. I’m thinking bold brightly colored attire. I’m so ready for spring!
- Find it for $140 @ call 020.8392.5600

Deux Lux Pintuck Satchel on left
UrbanOutfitters is a hot store for anyone on a budget (period). I don’t have any bags from this store, but I do have quite a collection of fabulous scarves and basic tees. The prices are just amazing. Another great find is the Scrunch Hobo (for under $40), there’s a decent handful of TBF’ers who own that style and haven’t had any negative comments towards the brand.
- Find it for $68 @ UrbanOutfitters

Monsoon Turnlock & Buckle Bag on right
I know what you’re thinking — seriously, enough buckle loops? Yeah, how many buckle straps do you need for a simple shoulder bag? This bag needs 8. It gives it some life though. I mean without the additional hardware, it would just be a plain old every day’er.
- Find it for $70 @ monsoon

Gustto Doma Clutch on left
Here’s a sweet deal that can’t be procrastinated on! From 4:30 AM PST on May 7th until 11:59 PM PST on May 9th, shopbop will be offering 25% off their 70% merchandise. This means a total savings of 77.5% off the original retail price. Which means, this Gustto clutch which usually retails for $535, is only $120.37!! Totally sweet. But you must hurry.
- Find it for $120.37 @ ShopBop –> use code EXTRA25

Melie Bianco Diagonal Purse on right
Meet the Melie Bianco Diagonal stitch tote. A stylish bag for whatever mood your in. Carry it as a handbag by day — no need to go home and purse-change — simply fold it up into a clutch and whahala you have a new accessory look. This purse also comes with a chain shoulderstrap for over the shoulder action.. it’s the urban 3 way bag!
- Find it for $90 @ Piperlime

Dereon Volume Satchel on left
Even House of Dereon made it on my list! I’ve been craving bold attention grabbing colors, and this intense pink purse would definitely liven up even the deadest looking outfit.
- Find it for $99 @ Dereon

VI VI VEE Leather Tote on right
Vi-vi-who? Never heard of this designer, but I’m really liking the simplicity, plus the reasonable price tag is equally pleasing. The color above is okay, but this bag is also available in like a dusty rose and textured sky blue.. you’ll have to check them out.
- Find it for $135 @ YOOX

Gryson for Target Drawstring Tote Bag on left
Of course I had to add a bag from the super reasonably priced Gryson for Tarjay line. My pick from the Gryson stock is this drawstring tote, perfect for beach life. It’s almost beach bum season! What will you be carrying?
- Find it for $49.99 @ Target

Banana Republic Graphic-print tote on right
This bag is so spring-summer chic. Plus it’s super spacious, ideal for carrying anything & everything you need for your daily mission.
- Find it for $118 @ Banana Republic

Longchamp ‘Le Pliage’ Tote Bag on left
These bags are popular among all crowds (men & women, children & adults) for their lightweight and durability since the birth of the Le Pliage line back in 1993. They’re great not only for everyday use, but are fabulous for traveling, roaming the beach, shopping excursions, and so on. It’s a great alternative for that heavy purse. What’s so awesome about it, is you seriously wont even know that you are carrying this bag. It weighs like 1 pound!
- Find it for $135 @ Nordstrom

Nordstrom Reusable Tote on right
Chic reusable tote is cast in shimmering metallic brushed linen and features original artwork by Ruben Toledo. The unstructured style folds into its own silvery faux leather bottom with a zip closure for easy storage and portability.

I’ve already seen so many people around seattle with this tote.. but I still want one!
- Find it for $21.95 @ Nordstrom

Goldenbleu 3-In-1 Audra Oversized Clutch

May 7, 2008
post written by Bag Bliss blogger: BrS

Goldenbleu 3-In-1 Audra Oversized Clutch
Do you want a shoulder bag? A quick-errand bag? A teeny clutch? How about all three… in the same bag! While browsing around over at eluxury, I stumbled across this interesting looking bag from Goldenbleu. It’s patent leather, has a chain strap, and a kiss-lock closure. The catch? That little extra pouch on the side snaps right off!

This bag probably isn’t the most attractive bag I have ever seen in my entire life, but I’ll admit that its a pretty interesting one. I mean, how cool is that? Having a bag that snaps apart so you can wear it three different ways. It’s kind of like one of those magic scarves that you can supposedly wear 10 different ways, only not nearly as complicated! LOL!

So my thought is that this bag would be really good for someone that has a really full schedule. Think about it. You’re at work and you need all your daily take-alongs in your bag. Then you head off to the mall to do some quick shopping. But now you don’t need to take as much with you since this is going to be a quick trip. Then its off to dinner at a nice restaurant… you only need the bare essentials there. Now instead of have three different bags all in one day, you could use this 3-In-1 instead. The whole thing for work, just the bag for shopping, and just the pouch for dinner out!

The Goldenbleu 3-In-1 Clutch:
- Quilted crinkled patent leather
- Link chain shoulder strap; 10.5″ drop
- Strap can be tucked inside for clutch carry
- Exterior pouch to front; can be removed and carried as a clutch
- Frame top with kiss-lock closure
- Measures 13.5″ (at base)x 8.75″x 3″ (including pouch)
- Removable pouch measures 9″ (at base)x 6″x 1″
- Retails for $650

Find it here: at eLUXURY

** update: this clutch is actually on sale over at shopbop! Available in blue or black — $455

Tory Burch Floral Print Totes

May 6, 2008
post written by Bag Bliss blogger: Deysa

Tory Burch Floral Print Totes
Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of floral appliqué on clothing, shoes and on my favorite accessory, handbags! It’s really no surprise since; floral designs are totally hot for the summer. Floral appliqués, if done right, add a nice feminine touch to any accessory. One of the many artists who put some type of blossoms on their pieces is American designer, Tory Burch.

One of Tory Burch’s best selling items would have to be her popular tote bags. They tend to come in various hues, different patterns, and sport the brands well-known reflective “T” logo. The latest “do” in reference to Tory Burch’s tote bags would have to be bright florals. Are you all feeling the florals? Whether you like the bright orange blossoms or if you prefer a bright pink and yellow palm print, either design is currently only available for fall 08’ pre-order format, only.

Personally, I do find Burch’s totes to be sort of cute (well… some of them), and although they are no “couture” handbag, I think they’re pretty enough to wear on casual outings or shopping trips. How do you Bagista’s feel towards Burch’s floral totes? Would you wear them? If so, preorder yours today via Nordstroms (dot com).

Cole Haan: The Genevieve Handbag Collection
Cole Haan is not usually the first place I look for handbags but I’ve seen quite a few ads for their Genevieve Collection and it caught my eye. So I decided to check out their site and take a look at the collection. I saw pleasantly surprised. These bags are great for the spring and summer and mix well with the ever so popular safari and nature looks. The Genevieve Collection offers refreshing, yet simple bags in artisan crafted woven leather at very fair prices. These are some of the bags that the collection has to offer:

1. The Genevieve Collection Box Tote: This bag features handwoven leather with smooth leather trimming. It comes in a large box shape ready to fit all of your daily necessities. This bag comes in saddle weave and estate blue weave and retails at $525.00.

2. The Genevieve Collection Small Triangle Tote: This bag offers a funky and fresh new look to woven leather. The metallic silver certainly takes this bag from simple to trendy. I love the combination of such a classic pattern but the trendy coloring. It is a great match. This bag retails at $395 and also comes in gold metallic and estate blue weave.

3. The Genevieve Collection Triangle Tote: This bag also features the signature artisan crafted woven leather. It comes in a perfect shape and size to make this your every day carry-all bag for the summer. It is convenient and matches almost anything. This bag comes in saddle weave, white patent weave, and estate blue weave and retails at $495.00.

4. The Genevieve Collection Top Handle Clutch: Cole Haan took this woven leather and applied it to a smaller, sophisticate clutch. This is an adorable summer-time clutch and really captures the sophistication that the woven look has to offer. This bag comes in estate blue weave and retails at $295.00.

These bags offer style, quality, and leisure at very reasonable prices. Check them out for yourself at ColeHaan.com.

Accessories by JoAnn: The Transfer Bag

May 5, 2008
post written by Bag Bliss blogger: BrS

Accessories by JoAnn: The Transfer Bag
While working the other day, a woman asked me where she could purchase a liner for her bag that would help keep her organized. Huh? You mean there is such a thing? Never in my life had I heard of a handbag liner, let alone one that keeps you organized. Perhaps I’m just living in a small world, I’m really not sure.

So after I heard about this handbag liner thingie, I decided to go check it out for myself. I looked high, I looked low, and I looked in every store. And do you know what? I couldn’t find a single one! Hmm, no wonder this lady was asking me where she could buy one! So finally, I decided to search the internet for this elusive item. Here’s what I found: The Transfer Bag from Accessories by JoAnn.

Now at first glance, I thought these things were kind of weird. Yep, this bag is actually meant to be placed inside your handbag to keep you organized. It also makes it super quick and easy to switch handbags. I’m not too impressed by their overall appearance (the one pictured above was the most stylish looking one), but I guess as long as they stay hidden inside your handbag then they would be alright. I know a friend of mine would probably like one since she complains constantly about how her bag doesn’t provide any organization at all.

The Transfer Bag from Accessories by JoAnn:
- Available in 3 sizes (The Classic, The Big Timer, and The Teenie)
- Each style features multiple interior and exterior pockets/compartments and a built-in makeup pouch
- Comes in a variety of fabrics, prints, and colors (including metallic leather!)
- Prices range between $30 and $100

You can find The Transfer Bag at the Accessories… by JoAnn official website: Accessories… By JoAnn Online Boutique!

Great Gifts for Mom
Great Gifts for Mom
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, why not get mom something really special this year? What about a nice handbag? Whether she’s a bag fanatic just like you, or you simply want to share one of your many interests with her, no gift is more personal that a great bag that you know she’ll love! What a wonderful way to let mom know how much you care!

Now that you’ve decided to get mom a new bag for Mother’s Day, you’re going to need to pick one that suits her tastes. Oh dear, that could be a bit tricky. Maybe you don’t like the same things. Or worse yet, you do like the same things and you might end up wanting to keep the bag you pick out for her! LOL! Well don’t worry girls, I have picked out some mom-worthy gift ideas and I’ve included a little something for everyone (different mom’s have different tastes). And, since I know you girls would rather be putting your money towards handbags for yourselves, all of the bags I have here are less than $400!

For the casual mom:
1. Coach Signature Carly with Patent Trim - $348
New for Spring, Coach has put a patent-spin on their very popular Carly bag. It looks great with jeans and its big enough to hold everyday essentials.
2. Eric Javits Shop Hop Satchel - $380
This light and airy bag would be great for summer. This satchel gives the look of straw, but its very durable at the same time.

For the funky mom:
3. Elaine Turner Medium Gabby Shopper in Tahitian Dream - $345
Have a funky mom? Well check out this giraffe print! This little shopper puts a fresh spin on the animal print trend.
4. Kate Spade Fisher Island Small Devon Bag - $295
Zebra print… need I say more? Wait, why is it called “Fisher Island”?

For the mom that carries everything with her:
5. Longchamp Roseau Embossed Tote - $370
Great everyday tote that’s appropriate for both work and play. This baby will hold a lot too, thanks to its expandable gusset sides.
6. Juicy Couture Premier Carry-On Tote - $225
Huge size and durable PVC fabric, plus it comes with its own little zippered pouch to hold the little stuff.

For the workaholic mom:
7. Steven by Steve Madden High Society Large Tote - $185
This croco-embossed leather tote features a divided interior. It would be great for organizing folders and files.
8. Monsac Iris Gloss Tote - $398
Large enough to fit a laptop computer, this patent tote is sleek and sophisticated.

All of these bags can be found over at Nordstroms. And don’t forget that they offer free shipping everyday on all orders over $200. So hurry now, Mother’s Day is just a short week away!

Aspinal of London Manhattan Croc Clutch

May 1, 2008
post written by Bag Bliss blogger: Alicia

Aspinal of London Manhattan Croc Clutch
While I was searching for evening bags and clutches on the web, since I am totally in need of one, I came across a great brand of handbags and leather goods called Aspinal of London. On their website, I discoverd a perfect little beauty called the Manhattan Clutch. These purses are handmade and feature Italian calf embossed croc leather with a touch of patent shine. What is also amazing about these purses is the beautiful and detachable gold or silver chain (depending on which color you opt for) that comes with them. This allows you to either wear the bag over the shoulder for a more casual look, or carry it in your hand as a clutch for evening glamour. Also, they come with a little mirror that is coated with matching leather.

These bags retail for $400, which is a little high in my opinion for a designer that realy isn’t known (by me anyways). But since they look so gorgeous on the website, and also since I have been craving something colorful, exotic, and patent for evening wear, I think I’m going to give this bag a try. My personal fave is the deep purple because it will match with everything, and it’s feminine and elegant. Lastly, a huge plus for me is the size, which measures 9″x 6.5″x 2.5″, because I prefer smaller bags for when I hit the clubs or the bar and not a bigger evening bag like an oversized clutch, for example.

Antoinette Lee Designs: Vita Stitch Clutch in Canvas Stripe

April 30, 2008
post written by Bag Bliss blogger: BrS

Antoinette Lee Designs: Vita Stitch Clutch in Canvas Stripe
Popular among celebrities like Nicole Richie and Jessica Simpson, Antoinette Lee Designs handbags are becoming more and more recognizable. Here, we have Antoinette Lee’s Vita Stitch Clutch. And you know what’s great about the Vita Stitch Clutches? They’re so big and roomy! As you can see in the picture above, this clutch is a handful! Normally, you will see the Vita Stitch Clutch in leather. But this one is different, this one is made of striped canvas. So now the question is, is this a good look for the Vita Stitch Clutch? Or a bad one?

When I first saw this clutch, I thought the canvas ruined the Antoinette Lee feeling. What I mean is, it just doesn’t look like the typical Antoinette Lee bag. Actually, it sort of reminds me of Francesco Biasia. But wait… Francesco Biasia bags are actually pretty cool. Or at least I think they’re pretty cool. So maybe this clutch isn’t so bad after all. With the right outfit, I bet a stylish gal could really pull this off well. I’m thinking high-waisted, denim shorts paired with a floaty, white top. What do you all think?

The Antoinette Lee Designs Vita Stitch Clutch in Canvas Stripe retails for $242 (the leather versions retail for $275). It measures 15″ x 6.5″ and features the trademark top edge X design. You can find it (and other Vita Stitch Clutches) here: CoutureCandy.com

Crocodile Card Cases: Nancy Gonzalez vs Saks Fifth Avenue

Crocodile Card Cases: Nancy Gonzalez vs Saks Fifth Avenue
Crocodile Card Cases: Nancy Gonzalez vs Saks Fifth Avenue
Crocodile (or alligator) handbags are so hot right now. Practically every designer has come out with a crocodile bag for Spring 2008 — and if not crocodile, its python or ostrich! But these are not boring brown or black bags, they are all in vibrant colors just right for the season. My favorite? I love the bright shades of orange!

So let’s say you have yourself a brand new croco bag from spring. How about some matching accessories to go with that bag? Wallets are okay, but lately I have really been in to credit card cases. So sleek, simple, and easy to switch from one bag to another. Plus I love how you can easily find the card you’re looking for while you’re checking out at your favorite store.

Pictured above, we have the brightly colored Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Card Cases and the Saks Fifth Avenue Alligator Card Case. Both cases are made of genuine crocodile/alligator. The difference? The price tag! While the Saks Fifth Avenue cases retail for a mere $150, the Nancy Gonzalez ones go for a whopping $390! The benefit of the Nancy Gonzalez version is the delicious colors that are available. But if you’re not willing to fork over the dough, then the Saks Fifth Avenue cases may be the better choice. Just be forwarned, they only come in the so-so colors of black or brown.

The Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Card Cases are available at Vivre.

The Saks Fifth Avenue Alligator Card Cases are available, of course, at Saks.

post written by Bag Bliss blogger: Jennifer
Huge “Birthday Sale” going on right now over at designer handbag superstore, The Purse Store. Where if you shop any of the “New Arrivals” you’ll save 30% off by using by using the promo code: BDAY08

Katherine Kwei Donna Clutch
I’m new to the bag designs of Katherine Kwei. What I find most interesting about this clutch is the little pieces of swarovski crystals scattered throughout this clutch, hidden in the shredded signature chinese ‘eternity’ knot weave pieces of watersnake and metallic lambskin, like little treasure pieces.

Price: $1,005 $703.50 (with code BDAY08) @ The Purse Store

Marc Jacobs Angie Fluo Purse
This cute little purple-eyed frog clutch is fresh off the lot from Marc-ey Marc Jacobs new Evening Fluo Collection. Personally my favorite version this clutch is in one of the hot new neon colors, like in the pink or green versions that they have over at net-a-porter. Although the black is classic, and will last many more years than current “neon-trend”. Plus you can’t beat this price anywhere else. Right now the Angie in black is on sale for a fraction of the price.

Price: $1,195 $836.50 (with code BDAY08) @ The Purse Store

Foley + Corinna City Clutch
Okay, I know Deysa mentioned this bag like an hour ago, but what can I say, Foley + Corinna bags are amazing. Plus the fuchsia one that she mentioned is sold out, however this spring white version is available, and ready for a new home. It’s the 2-in-1 bag designed for any one on the go. Carry it as a handbag by day — no need to go home and purse-change — simply fold it up into a clutch and whahala you have a new accessory look. Sure there’s the imitations out there, like Nine West’s leather version. But that’s just it.. do you want to carry around a Foley + Corinna City clutch copy? I know what you are thinking… they look the same, but the price is such a huge difference. True, but at this moment, until the end of this month you can get the Foley + Corinna real deal on sale for around $300.
