James Piatt, the creative handbag designer
When I first volunteered to write about James Piatt, I must admit I had no idea who he was or that he was a designer. While browsing the handbags on Mr. Piatt’s website I was appalled but also very intrigued. His handbags were very different and nothing that I have ever seen before. To make it short, James Piatt’s handbags are very unique all on their own.
James Piatt has been designing handbags for the past 4 years in Los Angeles, California and it’s no surprise that, in his own words, he is most recognized for “creating controversial work.” Mr. Piatt created and designed his first handbag in 2004 as a gift. The unique handbag was called the Peacekeeper and it is still being produced today. The latest version of the Peacekeeper is called the Peacekeeper 400, and it may just make your jaw drop. The Peacekeeper 400 does not have a strap for you carry on your shoulder or handles for you to carry it with your hand. The handle on the Peacekeeper 400 is brass knuckles. When I think of brass knuckles gangs, and someone very violent comes to mind, so to see brass knuckles on a handbag is very different but also very unique. When was the last time you can say you saw brass knuckles on a handbag, never I’m sure. Mr. Piatt told us his reasoning for putting brass knuckles on a handbag was because, “He felt it was unexpected” and indeed was he right.
The Peacekeeper 400 is not the only bag James Piatt has designed. Other names of Mr. Piatt’s handbag collection include: The Persuader; Chesterton; and lastly Tinkerbell. The most shocking of them all in the handbag named Tinkerbell, which was inspired by the way Paris Hilton treats her pets. To me the handbag looks like you are carrying a dead dog, but there is more of a message to this handbag. “This design capitalizes on the trend of carrying a small dog as a fashion accessory”, which was quoted straight from Mr. Piatt’s website. When you read the actual message for the handbag, you realize that it is actually quite humorous. The other handbags in Mr. Piatt’s collection are also very unique. The Persuader mimics a machine-gun, and the Chesterton is a roomy handbag that has no stitching and was constructed by interlocking laser cut leather. If you have an artistic and unique way of thinking you will definitely be craving one of James Piatt’s handbags.
Overall, James Piatt is a very creative and unique handbag designer. Mr. Piatt’s handbags are the kinds of bags that you will either love or loathe them. The Tinkerbell handbag may be a little overwhelming at first but, once you realize the real message of the handbag, it’s quite the hilarity. Mr. Piatt’s other handbags are just as unique. The Peacekeeper 400, Persuader, and Chesterton all have their own style and are very different from each other. Like them, or hate them there is no doubt that if you carry one of these handbags all eyes will be fixated on you.

Chanel Black Quilted Patent Leather Wristlet
I have never seen a wrislet that I would even consider wearing until I saw the Chanel Black Quilted Patent Leather Wristlet. It’s cute, patent and totally stylish. I love the Chanel Black Quilted Patent Leather Wristlet because it resembles a little purse and great for those days you don’t feel like carrying much. The wristlet literally looks like a mini Chanel handbag that would be held by a child. I’m not too fond of the Chanel quilted leather but I think it looks quite adorable on this wristlet. The Chanel Black Quilted Patent Leather Wristlet is also very versatile as it can be worn on the wrist or even ankle. Only downfall about the wristlet is that you can’t fit much in it but it would be great for a night out on the town when holding a huge purse would just be an inconvience. If you love carrying only your cell phone, compact, lip gloss, and a little wallet then this wristlet would be great for you. Everything about this wristlet is stunning but the price.

The Chanel Black Quilted Patent Leather Wristlet is usually priced at $1,350 but is currently for sale on bluefly for $1,080. If you are not in love with the black patent leather the wristlet it is also available is red, red/white and gold. My favorite is the black patent leather but you can’t go wrong with any of the colors. Yes, the Chanel Black Quilted Patent Leather Wristlet is a little pricey for a wristlet but no one can deny it is quite gorgeous for a little accessory.

Chanel Pink Quilted Jersey Bag
Every bagista will probably want to hit me with their handbag when I say, I have never liked Chanel. Chanel has always come across to me as tacky. In my opinion though, Chanel seems like it’s more of a bag for an older, sophisticated crowd. I’m not sure why I don’t care for Chanel handbags, perhaps it’s because I have always seen the quilted pattern since I was a little girl and still do till this day. I must say though, while browsing bluefly the other day, I came across a Chanel handbag that intrigued me. The handbag is called the Chanel Pink Quilted Jersey Shoulder bag, and it is beautiful. Knowing me, I probably fell in love with it because of the color but if I had the extra money I would definitely snatch this Chanel handbag up in a heart beat. I love the color, shape and style of the handbag but I’m not loving the chain. The chain is what I dislike most about Chanel handbags but I think I could deal with the chain for this particular handbag. Only downside about this handbag is that it is made with fabric and not leather. If you could be extra careful with the Chanel Pink Quilted Jersey Shoulder Bag it would be a lovely addition to any handbag collection.
