Zagliani designer Mauro Orietti-Carella
“Zagliani was founded 70 years ago as a company that specialized in exotic skins bags. We are not following a fashion moment. We do not make as much as the market demands because we are concerned about the use of too many skins, and will only work in an ethical and environmentally responsible way.�? – Zagliani designer Mauro Orietti-Carella

Mauro Zagliani creations can now be spotted on the arms of dozens of our favorite starlets and purse enthusiast fashionista’s all over the globe.

What makes his designer bags so special? All exotic skin bags, designed by dermatologist Mauro Orietti-Carella, have been injected with silicone for the most buttery-soft, luxurious feel.

Prada Tessuto Fiocco Muff Bow Clutch Purse
Flipping through the pages of any of this month’s fashion magazines you couldn’t miss the glossy Prada advertisement showing off the new Fiocco Muff purse from the autumn 2007 Prada designer handbag collection.

The newbie retails for just under a $600 and is available in eye-catching bright colors like lime green, juicy orange, and (my favorite) pretty pink.

The ribbon is not just a simple decoration, but rather works as a muff to carry this sweet little purse by hand or on the wrist. An irresistible new idea!

The Limited Edition Julie Verhoeven for Mulberry Handbag
If you happened to check out the Mulberry site then you might have noticed there is a new collaboration project out and ready for the picking. Last season Mulberry worked with Giles Deacon for the limited edition punk chic handbag line, now for the fall-winter 2007 season Mulberry has teamed up with the illustrious illustrator Julie Vernhoeven to create a vibrant collection that will make people re-think the term “Classic British�.

“The Brief was to be both vibrant and bold and a little cheeky.. We worked around the traditional English rose icon with the thorny surprises – surrealist and nonsense elements thrown into the mix. English eccentricities and traditions gone a little askew, but with fondness and femininity.â€? – Julie Verhoeven on the Mulberry Handbag Collaboration.

Pictured above is one of the bags available in the collaboration project. It’s the super lightweight canvas tote with the Julie Verhoeven print on each side – a girl with rose red colored hair with a rose leaf in mouth and on the other side a grey and white print of a spoon with a rose bud. This handbag also features leather straps and an interior painted in hot bright purple. Discover it at mulberry where it retails for around $300.
