Just because a bag is a couple seasons old, that doesn’t stop even the fashion Eva Longoria!

The last couple days she was spotted out-and-about with her Be & D Kan Kan tote in Los Angeles, which she was first seen rocking back in December 2007!

The Kan-Kan tote is a true statement bag.

Large and roomy enough to hold files or a laptop, the Kan-Kan has delicate ruffle panels on both sides, and suede and signature hardware accents. Can be handheld, or worn with a detachable shoulder strap. Made from Italian leather, with a magnetic closure, an interior zipper pocket, PDA and cell phone pocket, and keyleash. Dimensions are 14.5″ L x 3″ W x 14″ H. It’s available in 3 colors: Cream, Black, and Gunmetal.

Available at Be&D.

Looking for a deal? There are a couple Kan Kan’s on sale @ ebay!

Kiss Portfolio Purse by Be & D
“What exactly is it?�? was my first reaction upon viewing this one accessory over at ShopJake (dot com). After a bit of research, I concluded that it’s actually an oversized clutch with a rather unique and strange décor all over. Meet the Kiss Portfolio by be & d. Its most obvious pattern (found right up front on the clutch’s center) seems pretty familiar to me; actually, it reminds me a lot of vertical wooden panel flaps. According to its description, it states that the “panels�? of leather are actually eel. Beyond its “wooden panels�? design is a sheer body of distressed metallic silver leather, which makes up the bag concept.

There is something about this clutch that just doesn’t make me drool over it. It’s not the 12�?x9�?x3�? size; because that’s a good enough sized clutch for my likings. But I feel what really disturbs me is the unflattering color combination found on this piece. There’s just something about the saddle-hued leather and the silver body that isn’t too impressive. I’m pretty sure the whole clutch concept is fine, but alterations of the colors could have been done for the sake of this clutch’s appearance.

So what do you Bagista’s think about this be & d? Do you find it unique and artistic or is it definitely a pass?

It’s no wonder that this little minimal daily is currently a best seller on the Saks Fifth Avenue website. With that price, why not get one in each color – black or mimosa

We all have that designer handbag that we love to death, that one you don’t want to put away to give others a chance. Style, size, functionality, shoulder strap length, comfort, interior pockets, studded feet, weight, etc. Those are all key factors that we look for in the ideal everyday, multiple occasion handbag.

Eva Longoria’s favorite everyday purse of the week is the Be&D Kan Ruffle Tote. Spacious enough for travel, stylish enough for an evening out, and everything else this bag is just plain great for everyday use.
