LAMB Signature Hopewell Tote
Oh my dear Gwen, what have you done now? The Signature Hopewell Tote is a excellent example of the classic LAMB style. The signature print fabric, the stripe down the front, the little square buckle… yep, its a LAMB bag alright. But what is up with the lime green? And the ombre-style fading? And, on top of all that, the signature print?! Hmm…

So what can I say about this bag? I suppose the lime green does look alright (especially with that navy blue trim). The tote is roomy, with an expandable gusset. The rolled handles and easy-access snap opening are pluses as well. So why can’t I seem to love this bag? Is it the color? Or perhaps the color itself isn’t the problem… perhaps it is the fact that they paired the ombre with the signature pattern. No wait, I’ve got it! I think what this bag needs is to be made of patent leather rather than the printed fabric. Oh wouldn’t that look lovely? Lime green patent leather with the gradual fading going from top to bottom. What do you all think?

The LAMB Signature Hopewell Tote features:
* Double handles with 6″ drop
* Magnetic closure top
* Interior zippered pocket
* Two interior slip pockets
* Interior snap-closure pocket
* Measures 16″ x 9″ x 6″
* Retails for $525

LAMB goes Lux: adds Aston Black Label
Fresh designer news: Rocker turned designer, Gwen Stefani is expanding her designer L.A.M.B. bag collection, by adding an additional higher-end line. The lamb adorned signature bags, categorized under the Aston Black Label Line will feature a 30% markup from Lamb’s traditional first purse collection.

There will be eight styles available with style names such as the Lotus and Winston, the Aston bags feature special detailing such as layers of perforated and pebble-grain leather mixed with patent leather piping and suede strips, with black and gray striped lining, gunmetal hardware and matte black hangtags. The collection retails from $525 for a clutch to $1,495 for a limited edition carryall and is inspired by vintage British sports cars.

Gwen Stefani had this to say about the new Aston Black Label: “I love the designing process for the handbags. It’s always evolving and changing each season. This season I loved mixing different materials like leather and suede and then putting the L.A.M.B. twist on it….I look forward to expanding the L.A.M.B. brand even more.”

L.A.M.B. Camel Checkerboard Alston Tote.
When I first discovered the L.A.M.B. camel checkerboard Alston Tote, sadly another designer creation came to mind. Is it just me or does this checkerboard design somewhat resemble Louis Vuittons’ Damier collection, especially the summery theme of the Azur line? Also, the shape of this one by L.A.M.B. is similar to LVs’ Speedy bag but has some traits of the Berkeley bag such as the leather pieces on the bottom sides. Maybe it’s just me but this bag is completely tacky and is one that I would never wear. Sorry L.A.M.B., but Vuittons’ Azur line has by far already won me over…

I’ve seen plenty of gorgeous and classy bags by L.A.M.B. including the Glazed Love Lucca and Verona bags. But I was surprised to see the new Checkerboard line by them. I mean, instead of spending $575 on the Alston Tote, without question I’d rather just get an Azur Speedy from Louis Vuitton. If I saw someone with this bag and didn’t know who made it, I would have never guessed that it was a designer purse and cost THAT much. I wonder if these designs by L.A.M.B. are in fact inspired by LVs Damier collection. What do you think?
