Back in September, Jennifer had posted in TBF a comment about a Judith Leiber Snowy Owl Pillbox. That tiny little guy sure was cute! And it seemed as though several of my fellow TBFers agreed. Unfortunately, the adorable little pillbox was just that… a pillbox. Something to display on a shelf or inside a curio, not something that had any practical purpose.

Well it appears that Judith Leiber has decided to take this cute little owl and made him a wee bit more functional. Introducing the Judith Leiber Crystal-Embellished Owl Clutch! This gorgeous piece is covered with multicolored Swarovski crystals. I love the luminescent glow that these crystals have. It’s as if they change color right before your eyes as the light hits them from different angles. Plus the delicate glass eyes really seem to bring the owl to life. And I also love how this clutch comes with it’s own little pocket mirror! Only for super special occasions, I think this clutch would really glam-up a simple black dress. And when you’re not using it, simply tuck in the chain strap (as shown in the picture above) and display it alongside all your other pretties! Wow, what a beautiful addition this would make to a Judith Leiber collection!

The Judith Leiber Crystal-Embellished Owl Clutch measures 4 inches wide (all the way around) and 6 inches tall. It is fully lined and it opens at the top via a push-lock closure. Find it Here @ NET-A-PORTER!

Here’s some exciting new eye candies to me, these miniature-sized accessories are Limited Edition bowling bags by Pineider. I wasn’t familiar at all with the Italian based brand, but upon discovering the collection and its history, I’d call myself a fan.

Their roots date back to 1774 in Florence, Italy as founder Francesco Pineider opened his shop where he specialized in handmade papers, leather goods, and personalized stationary. Unique leather accessories were a favorite among men and women, as they were known for excellent craftsmanship and rich aged leathers. The brand has a wide array of collections, and these cute bowler bags belong to the 1774 line. They come in a fun size that measure in at 7” x 7” x 4” and in a variety of eye catching colors. Among these pieces you’re sure to find glossy calf leather, mink fur, and of course the odd round design. What’s the story behind these little accessories? The hand making of shoes inspired the creation of these little bags, I imagine small scraps of leathers collaborating to form these lovely goods.

They’re pleasant to look at but I’m not sure if I’d give this style a chance, their petite frame seem is not my kind of bag, and for the $1,215 asking price isn’t too appealing. If you’re truly eyeing these out, you can find them Here at FORZIERI . Act quick as they are limited!

With the economy in the current shape that it is in, one can’t help but want to save money. And with so many stores having sales or websites hosting sample sales, how can a shopaholic possibly resist? But there is another way to save money that perhaps some people haven’t thought to consider… and that is buying pre-loved handbags and accessories. Why pre-loved? Well, for one, you can often find good deals on items that never go on sale (e.g. Louis Vuitton). You can also find discontinued styles and hard-to-find collector’s pieces. And the best part is, something only has to be used once or twice to be called “used”. This means that you have a pretty good chance of finding something that is practically new without the “new” price tag. Love it!

So where does one find a good selection of pre-loved handbags and accessories? Ebay was once a hot spot for used luxury items. Unfortunately, however, with all the fakes out there people have become wary of the things offered for sale in this virtual marketplace. This is such a shame because there are still trustworthy sellers out there that have wonderful deals to offer, the trick is learning how to spot them. And to set you off in the right direction, I would like to share will all you Bag Bliss readers out there some of my favorite ebay sellers.

Extra stiff and bringing in some serious bling is the Two-Textured Leather Satchel by Christian Dior. A feminine crescent shaped shoulder bag is produced with an assortment of pleated pebbled and crocodile textured leathers. You either love, hate or simply don’t mind the array of different leathers, but what stands out above all has got to be the numerous amount of studs and hardware found on this single piece. Over decorated with grommets and buckles, I can’t decide whether I find this piece to be tasteful or tacky. I’m the kind of Bagista that likes hardware and shine on my handbags, but designers do tend to go overboard every once in a while on décor, and unfortunately, I think this bulky satchel happens to be yet another victim of this abuse.

After multiple views and never ending grommet appliqué, I’ve decided this bag is a nay in my book. Somehow, the excessive décor tends to cheapen the value of this $2,950 couture satchel. Ladies what’s your input on this handbag, would you buy this?

If you’re liking this fan-shaped bag, you can pick up own at Saks.com and receive free shipping (on orders over $200) with promo code: SPRSHIP9

Here’s something you don’t see on your typical tote bag. Leave it to Stella McCartney to apply a cloud-print design to her shopper, the perfect piece for the daydreamer in you. The overall appearance is busy, yet peaceful and calm. Although I’m not sure if this is something I would actually carry around with me. We all have our inner child likings of fun and cute stuff, and these repetitive fluffs fit into the category. I can see how this would make a great overnight bag, a book tote for my trendy high school sister, or maybe a really fun diaper bag. Pair this tote with shorts and sandals, or capris and flirty tops for a great summery look.

Getting more in depth with it’s design, the cloud prints are a Sir Peter Blake design, an English pop artist whose most popular work can be found on the sleeve for The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album. It’s no surprise why fashion designers love collaborating with their favorite pop artists. Plus, they feed us Bagista’s unique and trendy pieces that stand out from your typical everyday handbags. What’s your input on this shopper, would you wear this?

Ever since I wrote about the Celestina Red Abalone Shell Clutch I have been captivated by this designers gorgeous and unique pieces. The tiny little evening bags are nothing short of being works of art. They are admittedly a little bit impractical in most cases, but they are so absolutely stunning it’s hard to resist not buying one (even if it would only be to look at!).

Recently I stumbled across this little jewel from Celestina. It’s called the Woven Silver Filigree Clutch. The body of this clutch is constructed of thin strips of sterling silver that have been woven together in a basket-like fashion. The front of the clutch features a gorgeous filigree centerpiece mounted on a wooden base. I love the overall shape of the clutch, like a delicate little pillow. And like most clutches by this designer, it comes complete with an adorable little mirror inside. The clutch opens up into two halves, sort of like a canister. This little beauty would certainly make a wonderful conversation piece, even if it spent most of its time sitting inside a glass case!

The Celestina Woven Silver Filigree Clutch measures 6″ x 5″ x 1″. It is composed of 75% sterling silver, 20% kamagong, and 5% filigree. Find it at Net-A-Porter, where it retails for $1,695.
