Marc by Marc Jacobs Lovely Miss Thing, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I like the long, lean look of this bag. The cream colored leather is pebbled for texture and the gentle gathering adds softness. The simple logo medallion looks sharp and goes well with the over sized strap rings. I like it when a designer pays as much attention to the interior of a bag as the exterior. This one has a pretty black and white floral print lining and a 6" zipper pocket as well as two patch pockets. Well-sized at 7"H x 11"L with a 13" strap drop, the bag sells for $228.

Valentino Side Bow Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Doesn't this bag look like a great big present that you are hoping someone will give you because you've been very, very good? Available in walnut brown or this gorgeous red leather, the bag sports an over-sized side bow that adds a lot of style without being too fussy. Plain handles and the lack of flashy hardware keep the look from going over the top and the result is a simply classic bag that you could easily wear every day. It has a top-zip closure and the reverse sports a metal logo plate. Measuring 10"H x 14 ½"W x 5"D, it is lined in black and has one interior zip pocket. $1795.

Coach Carly Large Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Coach's Carly style gets a size upgrade in this larger version of the relatively new shape. Slighter bigger in all directions, it measures 17" x 13" x 6" and has 7" handle drop. Like the smaller version, it is available in five colors, but only this parchment color has the trim in a contrasting hue. The red, brown, black and camel versions all have the leather accents in a similar tone. I prefer the contrast as it really puts the spotlight on the leather trim with all those brass details, including including studs, turnlocks, rings and even a dog-leash clip. The zip-top bag is lined and features internal zip, cell and accessory pockets. $498.

Bottega Veneta Cornely Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Woven leather in a mossy green creates a beautiful canvas for the pretty swirls that accent this feminine tote. With delicate gold tone hardware and graceful scalloped edges, the bag almost looks vintage. With slim handles and protective feet, this is a gorgeous bag that would add a bit of old style class to your wardrobe. Measuring 15" wide by x9" high by 4" deep, the Cornely tote sells for $3,300.

Smythson Chepstow, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Who doesn't love orange? From Smythson's Autumn/Winter 2007 collection, there is nothing Halloweenish about this rich clementine hue. Sturdy and roomy, the the crocodile-finished calfskin shoulder bag offers simple style in a not-so-classic color. Measuring 12" x 8" x 5.25", the structured bag has a boxy shape with minimal gold tone and enamel accents. With a large exterior flap pocket and rolled leather handles, the bag opens with a double zip top and features one interior zippered pocket. $1205.

Givenchy Two Tone Shopper, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I can see myself carrying this go-with-anything black and white leather tote on a regular basis. At 18" x 16.5" x 1", it's large enough to hold everything I need and has plenty of room for additional shopping finds. It has wide, comfortable straps and the interior cell and zip pockets will prevent the awkward 'tote-dig'. A little antiqued brass studded detail and a logo luggage tag finish off the look of this simple and practical bag. $1,600.
