Fringe on handbags is one of those recurring trends. So much so, that it really can’t be called a trend anymore. What I find interesting is the variations that come with each passing season. What I mean is, there are trends within this trend. Check out the Yves Saint Laurent Cabas Chyc and you will see what I mean.
The groundhog said there will be 6 more weeks of winter. Considering how unseasonably warm it has been this winter, I suppose I can live with that. With the weather being so Spring-like, I already have summer on the brain. It seems like others do too, considering all the beach totes I’ve seen popping up recently. I’m thinking this year, I might go for a little less traditional beach tote. Instead of structured and straw, I was thinking unstructured and crochet! Check out the Stela 9 Zigzag Crochet Beach Bag!
Sass & Bide was founded in 1999 by Heidi Middleton and Sarah-Jane Clarke. The label was originally intended to be a sexy skinny jeans line, but it expanded into a full clothing line after only two years. Somewhere along the way though, handbags were added to the collection. A good idea? I certainly think so! Just check out this beautiful piece I have pictured here! Introducing the Sass & Bide Missing in Action Bag!
Probably about ten years ago, I purchased a purse on eBay that literally looked like a bustier. It was white with pink lace lining and it was actually really cute. No matter where I went, someone always made a comment about it. Why? Because it was really unique and different looking. I mean let’s be honest, it’s not everyday you see someone carrying around a handbag that looks like a bustier with tiny boobs.
Any beauty pageant fans out there? Miss World 2011 is set to debut sometime in November, but you don’t have to wait until then to see attractive matters out on display. The fun and feminine brand of Juicy Couture has unleashed the Miss World Ombre Tote for the Fall/Winter season.
Do young women crochet anymore? We primarily associate it with doily making, scarves, mittens and the overly challenging idea of making a sweater. There is even the odd star-spangled handbag that appears on the arm of one’s grandmother. But, on a fashionable chic woman who emulates boho … perhaps. How about a urban professional or soccer mom with style? Absolutely! With the Diane Von Furstenberg Kaitlyn Woven Shoulder Bag, crochet is hip and fashion forward.
Well-worn denim, the perfect vintage Chanel jacket and an amazing Bottega Veneta handbag. What do they have in common? Sometimes being a little frayed around the edges is a good thing.
Bottega Veneta has some of the most incredibly sumptuous leathers on the planet. Supple and luxurious as well as easy to wear. While many premium designer handbags are structured (think Hermes Birkin/Kelly and Chanel 2.55), Bottega Veneta is the ultimate in squishy. Their hobos are iconic and highly coveted by the fashion elite and aspirational shoppers like me!
