Kate Spade Store Opening Totes, Handbags of the Day

Filed under: Apparel, Handbags

Kate Spade's "store opening totes" is a collection of 7 individually designed canvas tote bags created in commemoration of the opening of several new Kate Spade stores around the country. Each bag is available in a limited edition of only 50 and is not only designed in honor of its specific store's location (this "stop and smell the roses" bag is representative of its store's home in Portland, Oregon) but is also only available in that individual store for purchase. So if you're looking to have a collection of all 7 bags you better get ready for a cross-country travel spree.

This artificial crocodile design representing the Everglades in Florida is my favorite.

Fendi Net Palazzo Print Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Heading somewhere warm this winter? Can't you just picture yourself with this on your arm? From the Fendi Resort 2007/2008 Collection, this tote features Fendi's Palazzo flagship store screened onto coated canvas. The pretty blue chain link pattern on the canvas straps contrasts nicely with the black and cream and there's more blue on the coated nylon lining. With one interior patch pocket and a leather trimmed nameplate, the bag opens with a double touch-tape tab closure and is a roomy 14.5" x 11.25" x 4.25". $580.

Thomas Wylde Fairground Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I think the skull trend should be just about over by now, but with Halloween approaching, it seems appropriate to spotlight a ghoulish bag. From a distance, you might not even recognize the dead heads all over this canvas bag. But you will notice the proliferation of gunmetal logos tags hanging from every possible location. By my count, there are five -including a stationary one on the front pocket. For me, that is about three too many. I do like the numerous pockets - a zippered front pocket, two patch pockets on the sides and another on the back. The rolled patent leather handles have a 5.5" drop and inside the bag is lined in skull logo canvas and features a patent-trimmed zip pocket, patch and cell phone pockets. Even the bottom of this bag gets special treatment with patent leather and protective metal feet. As skull bags go, this one isn't too bad. $990.

Bing Bang Canvas Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags, Green

An everyday bag, a shopping tote and a bag for your travels - this could be your functional, all purpose and not too flashy tote to meet all your needs. I've been trying to make more of an effort to be conscious to re-use bags or just carry my own when I am running errands. Instead of carrying something that is not aesthetically pleasing or matches my outfit, this would a great alternative. And yes, I am that vain that in my attempts to be more earth friendly, I still want to be fashionable and look good while doing it. Bing Bang's Canvas Tote is simply designed yet the chocolate leather trim against the red canvas is a welcoming contrast to make it stand out enough. Bag dimensions: 15-1/2" H X 11-3/4" W at top & 12-1/2" W at bottom. Price: $435.

Dresscamp Love Print Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Despite the dark color, this is a happy looking tote. The bag is black canvas decorated with sparkly gold hearts and stars surrounding a large-printed LOVE. The other side of the bag has no embellishment and the leather handle has a subtle animal print, attached with gold-tone hardware. Are you feeling the love? $258.
