I consider Marc Jacobs to be an absolute genius. Whether he’s creating Louis Vuitton handbags or designing something for one of his own personal lines everything always comes out stunning and brilliant. One of his latest masterpieces, the “Kriss Kross” Duff Satchel, is nothing but perfection.

Marc Jacobs designed the “Kriss Kross” for his Marc by Marc Jacobs line and it’s beautiful. I was shocked to see it was by Mr. Jacobs because it definitely looks like something you would see by Prada. The whole style of the bag screams Prada but it’s a good thing it’s by Marc Jacobs because we can get it for a fraction of the price.

Jason Wu is a newcomer to the world of fashion. The young (He’s only 28 years old!) fashion designer launched his ready-to-wear collection in 2006 and won the Fashion Group International’s Rising Star award in 2008. He was also nominated for the Vogue Fashion Fund award. But if the name still isn’t ringing a bell for you, he is also the designer that designed Michelle Obama’s inaugural gown. Yes, that gorgeous white dress she wore for her first dance as First Lady! Jason Wu, however, did not stop with his gorgeous garments. Just this last spring, he added handbags to his collection! These pieces feature simple shapes and clean lines. Very chic! And if you ask me, Jason Wu’s handbags are just as gorgeous as his clothing! The collection includes clutches, crossbodies, shoulder bags, and satchels… there really is something for everyone! Below are a couple of my favorite picks, check them out!

The Italian Couture House of Prada has a new furry suggestion to carry on arm. Ditch the fussy puppy and if you dare, give this fuzzy handbag a try – the Prada Eco Mongolia Garden Tote. So much furry disorder is going on in this piece. It looks like something I wouldn’t typically look at twice, but upon further inspection of this piece, one unexpected detail caught my attention.

What looks like an orb of exotic fur actually claims to be eco friendly, that is; the tote is made of faux fur. Quite a surprise as Prada is known to compose some very exotic pieces with fine furs in past collections. If you’re a fur advocate you may dislike the faux fur feel, while a fur activist who dares to wear something out of their ordinary taste, could actually sport this, guilt free.

Givenchy bags: The Pandora, Antigona, Nightingale have a luxurious rocker chic vibe about that that says edge and sophistication all at one time. I’ve been eyeballing their bags for awhile now but hadn’t made the plunge. Prices range from $1178 for a mini Pandora to a over $2,100 for a large Nightingale. Serious stuff.

While perusing the Luisa Via Roma site, I ran across Elena Ghisellini bags and thought they looked quite similar. So, I did a little research. Turns out she is the Givenchy designer behind those serious bags! So, there’s definitely going to be some similarities!

Beautiful distressing and treatments to the leather with minimal hardware. Classic, sophisticated and hard-working, these bag have character and amazing style. What’s more, the price point for her line is around $900 for each bag! Deserves a look, right?!

My favorite bag from her line is the Grainy Top Handled Bag for $938. It’s available in black and taupe. The bag is rectangular and measures 14.5″ x 19.5″ with an 8″ strap drop that lays nicely across the bag giving it an angled side appearance. Two rolled leather top handles finish the bag.

I’m still enjoying pool side relaxation this time of year, so perhaps it’s a bit to soon to consider what accessories to get for Fall 2011. Even if we’re months away from the next season, a sneak peek into the future of what’s trending this Fall isn’t technically a bad idea. Plus, can anyone possibly deny a glimpse of what’s heading our way?

Designers have been pouring their designs out months in advance, and one attractive piece that caught my attention is from the Michael Kors Collection. If you’re not a fur type of gal, perhaps this is the first step closer to adjusting to animal hides in the wardrobe, greet the Gia Haircalf Satchel.

Hammitt Los Angeles handbags have made their way to the virtual shelves of Stefanibags! The slogan of this LA-based designer — “LA Stitched into Every Bag” — pretty much says it all. A company that strives for perfection, each collection is handcrafted in Los Angeles by local artisans. All of the designs are inspired by the unique and diverse lifestyles that call Los Angeles home. What I found interesting, however, was the particular collection from this designer that Stefanibags decided to showcase. It is called the Hammitt Los Angeles True Blood Collection!

What a minute… True Blood? Yes, it is THAT True Blood. Now I’ve never really watched the HBO series, but I must admit that these handbags (which were inspired by the True Blood series) are quite intriguing. I mean, who doesn’t love spikes, studs, and corset-like pleating? So whether you’re a diehard True Blood fan or you’re thinking “True Blood who?” right now, there is no question that these are some beautiful handbags. Perfect for a tough girl-chic look! Below are my two favorite styles from the collection!

Ever since Kooba disappeared from the shelves of my favorite local department store, I sort of lost track of this designer. There is no doubt that Kooba is still near the top of my list of favorite handbag designers. Out of sight does not necessarily mean out of mind. So I just couldn’t help but wonder what the heck they have been up to lately! You probably have already guessed by now that I decided to take a little peek at Kooba’s official online store. What did I find there? For one, there was a lot of canvas! But none of those really catch my eye. Nope, my eyes landed on this leather style you see pictured here. It’s called the Faye Shoulder Bag!
