Elliott Lucca Siren Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I don't know that 'siren' accurately describes this bag, but I like it anyway. Glossy Italian leather with a crinkly finish, the tasseled bag looks sporty and casual. This side view doesn't accurately depict how large the bag really is - with a 3.5" flat bottom sporting protective feet, it's a big 12" inches wide by 7.5" high. With thick braided straps and gunmetal hardware, the bag is lined with graphite colored lining and features three interior pockets.$258.

Lambertson Truex Tenny Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I am loving the crisp basket-weave on this tote. Weaving leather strips together this way isn't all that unique, but the contrasting top-stitching adds a nice touch and gives the pattern even more dimension. 17" double handles with a 61/2 inch drop makes for a nice fit on your shoulder and the hinge-locked flap opening gives easy access to the interior. The bag is lined in pretty baby blue suede and includes the standard zip, patch and cell pockets as well as a key fob and two card holders. Minimal polished silver-tone hardware on the bag and protective feet finish things off and the end result is a very wearable everyday tote. $957.

Hayden Harnett Orsay Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I absolutely love the colorful print on this bag. Designed by French textile artist Madame Paule Marrot, the warmly colored geometric pattern will heat up a cool fall afternoon. This is actually the back side of the satchel - the reverse has a large leather patch with a zip pocket covering most of the beautiful print. Made from Italian vegetable tanned leather, the bag features three more pockets inside and is lined in a coordinating fabric. The shoulder strap is adjustable and the limited edition bag measures 15 1/2"L x 9"H x 4"D. It is also available in two other gorgeous prints. $335.

Paul Smith Violet, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Designer Paul Smith aims to combine his very Englishness with a bit of the unexpected. In this bag, he gives a rather traditional shape a jolt with color and pattern that just barely misses being psychedelic. It's the subtler hues that give this bag a calmer feel and I think the look is charming. The swirl pattern is printed on a soft Italian leather, accented with brushed gold-tone hardware. It has a large zip top closure under two buckle straps with magnetic closures. Inside, the bag is lined in cream colored canvas and has a cell phone pocket as well as an additional side pocket. It's a proper bag with flair. £475.00.

Prada Chevron Dome Bowler, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I love red, but this bag might actually be too red. On the other hand, if you are going to pay $2495 for a bag, maybe you want to be noticed. Made from shiny chevron-quilted leather, this bowler from Prada's Fall collection features minimal gold-tone hardware and lots of style. With top handles and a detachable shoulder strap, it's as versatile as it is striking. The bag is also available in black with silver-tone hardware, but if you are going to do it, you may as well do it in red.
