As stated on their brand site, 3.1 Phillip Lim‘s focus is providing beautiful everyday classics with touches of madness resulting in cool, easy chic styles for both men and women. The Crossbody Camera bag is exactly that: cool and chic. However, I don’t see any madness to it at all!

A perfect little bag for the fashionable woman on the go. Luxurious supple lambskin is complemented by touches of simple gold hardware for maximum impact. And the color…wow! A beautiful rich sapphire shade that is just this side of royal purple. It’s the perfect color to compliment your Fall wardrobe.

A trip to New York isn’t complete without a visit to Soho. I love stopping in the little designer boutiques where you can find items that aren’t readily available anywhere else. As I love the 3.1 Phillip Lim Camera Bag Cross-Body, I had to stop in the boutique. There, I found a beautiful clean space filled with sophisticated edgy pieces. One of these was the Berry Wristlet.

The store version was available in two colors: pink and mint green. Quite a contrast against the multitude of spiked studs covering the bag. It’s a perfectly edgy and girl piece for the girl who doesn’t want to carry rocker black. And if you like spikes and want to add it to your wardrobe in a small way, the Berry Wristlet is the perfect choice to make a statement!

Adored by young, hip starlets like Rachel Bilson, 3.1 Phillip Lim is a highly covetable brand that is both on trend, stylish and chic. The Brea Mini Camera Bag offers function in a fashionably exciting way that will keep you carrying it day after day!

For those who shy away from canvas because of care concerns, but love the look, you’ll be delighted that this is a leather bag treated to look like canvas! I am loving antique white and the ginger colors available with the tan contrasting trim. The color combination is completely on trend for Spring. It looks wonderful in black too!

A mid-size bag, it features function and organization for your day to day activities. Side pockets with contrasting leather buckles, a front zip pocket with leather buckle detail and a roomy enough interior for it’s 6.5″ x 10″ x 7″ size, you’ll be surprised at how much you can carry with this bag.

3.1 Phillip Lim has come up with some interesting looking bags lately. My favorite being, of course, the Edie Bow Bag (okay, not a brand new style, but still pretty darn cool!). But here’s something that I don’t normally think of when I think of this line — a wristlet! Introducing the 3.1 Phillip Lim Studded Berry Wristlet! It’s a tiny package that packs quite a punch!

Oddly, if it wasn’t for the all-over studs having a distinctive cone shape, I would have sworn that this wristlet was one of Alexander Wang’s creations. After all, he really likes to crowd the surface of a bag with lots and lots of chunky studs! But you know what, I think Lim does the whole stud thing pretty well. They are the same kind of studs found on my beloved Edie Bow Bag, but they are arranged in a tight grid pattern.

You may remember the obsession I had with the 3.1 Phillip Lim Edie Studded Bow Bag last summer (read about it here). I just love the style and the price isn’t too bad either! The abstract bow detailing on the front flap and the pointy, cone-shaped studs give the bag such a unique look! The bag is still available over at Net-A-Porter and it is still calling to me! But there has been a recent addition to the Edie family and it is now calling me as well!

Last month, I wrote about Rachel Bilson and her gorgeous 3.1 Phillip Lim Edie Studded Bow Bag (read the post here). A super hot item since its release last Fall, the bag looked simply stunning dangling from Rachel’s shoulder. Unfortunately, this must-have style was completely sold out at the time of my post. What a shame! But guess what… the 3.1 Phillip Lim Edie Studded Bow Bag is back in stock over at Net-A-Porter! How exciting is that?

Rachel Bilson was recently spotted outside the Dragonfly DuLou boutique in Los Angeles. For her little shopping trip, Bilson wore a navy top with an ink-blot pattern and black tuxedo pants. And hanging from her shoulder was her 3.1 Phillip Lim Edie Studded Bow Bag! From the Fall 2009 Collection, the Edie Studded Bow Bag was one hot item last year. And it appears to be one of Bilson’s favorites, as she has been photographed carrying it on several occasions. The bag features a bow-shaped flap front with metal mesh in the center. The gold-tone, cone-shaped studs give this bag a hard-edge feel that would compliment an urban look, whether it be day or night. I love the double-stranded strap. Plus the wider panel at the top of the strap looks like it would make this bag super comfortable to carry. Such a gorgeous bag! It’s no wonder it was on everyone’s wish list!

Unfortunately, at this time the 3.1 Phillip Lim Edie Studded Bow Bag has sold out on sites such as Net-A-Porter. But you can check out all the great deals eBay has to offer on 3.1 Phillip Lim handbags!

Adorable little miss Rachel Bilson has been spotted just about everywhere with her hot studded 3.1 Phillip Lim Edie Bow Bag.

The latest sighting – out shopping in West Hollywood!

Rachel is also wearing Juicy Couture’s new Ruffle Zip-up Cardigan and See by Chloé Studded Leather Ankle Boots.

Grab a sheet of paper and a pen and jot down the materials for this Do-It-Yourself project at home. You’ll need a blue tote bag, which you could find at your nearest arts and crafts store, and a black Sharpie marker. Have fun and create whatever size spots you please, pretty soon you’ll have something similar to this or better, in no time. All right, so I apologize to any fans of the Kanvas Tote Bag by 3.1 Phillip Lim, but seriously, what is going on here? In reference to previous leather goods by 3.1 Phillip Lim, I’ve seen some pretty impressive clutches and handbags of abnormal shapes and designs, but this right here is just… wrong. This piece is simply effortless, uncreative, and juvenile. In case you’re wondering, smooth calf leather is the material of choice, and this tote comes with an open top for quick access to your essentials. Measuring 14” x 14” x 4”, if you like what you see, you can find the incredibly overpriced designer piece for $575 or get creative and make your own at home! Ladies, what’s your input on the Kanvas Tote and would any of you gals actually wear this?
