Filed under: Handbags

Oh how I love purple! I don't know what it is but it is at once bold, mysterious, earthy and feminine all in one neat package. So obviously I approve of Nancy Gonzalez's choice of color for this fantastic handbag. This eggplant-hued Pleated Crocodile Shoulder Bag has stunning braided handles with a six-inch drop, inside pockets and a suede lining. A well proportioned bag, it hugs beneath the arm yet is spacious enough for a legal pad making it work-worthy. A delicious compliment to any outfit, Nancy has created an elegant yet contemporary handbag for the modern woman. I just need to find $2,850 to make it mine. (13" x 9 1/2" x 3 1/2")

Chlo Bay Patent Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I am usually not a big fan of purple, but this dark violet shade is kind of nice. The grained lambskin just glows and you know it is going to feel as nice as it looks. Accented with just the right amount of gold-tone hardware, the bag sports Chloé's signature over sized zipper pulls and double rolled handles with an 8" drop. Inside, the bag is lined in canvas and features a zip pocket. Measuring 12"W x 13"H x 4" D, it is currently available for pre-order for $1,760.

Zac Posen Antonia Patent Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


For some reason, purple doesn't get a lot of play in handbags. Zac Posen calls it amethyst, but to me it's grape and looks delicious. A structured bag with shiny patent leather on the front and pebbled leather on the back, the gorgeous color is accented with gold-tone hardware. A removable chunky chain strap holds a logo tab, which tucks into a small, off-center open pocket on the front. There's another large flap pocket on the exterior and the suede-lined interior features an additional zip pocket. Measuring 15½" W x 10½"H x 4½" D, the bag is also available in a less-luscious black. $1,200.
