Carlos Falchi Python Shoulder Bag

Filed under: Handbags

Trendy bags can be so much fun to wear, especially when you find them at a great price. But then the trend fades away, the bag just doesn't make that same powerful statement as it once did and ends up in your closet collecting dust. Thankfully, there are some designers that have the ability to incorporate trends and timeless styles into a balanced creation. Take for example the Python Shoulder Bag by Carols Falchi. It takes the trendiness of colorful exotic leather against the back drop of a classic silhouette resulting in a statement bag to last the ages. It features a gathered body that compliments the python's texture and color and would be a perfect addition to your wardrobe. Price: $2210

Devi Kroell Twist Bag in Waxed Python, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Devi Kroell Twist Bag in Waxed Python is a divine everyday bag for someone with a flair for the subtly unusual.

The overall shape of this Berry colored bag (it also comes in Coal and Black) is quite simple, but the second strap's twist is striking and graceful. At 15" x 6" x 26", this elegant handbag is large enough for work documents and sophisticated enough for the office -- but also interesting enough to bring along to brunch or dinner, as well.

There's something very harmonious about it.

Waxed python this fine looks great with everything (well, everything that also looks great; if you're wearing pink vinyl it can't solve your problems), and this Italian-made bag is an inspired example.

The Devi Kroell Twist Bag in Waxed Python is available from Devi Kroell for $2,590.00.

Carlos Falchi Glazed Python Dr. Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Carlos Falchi Glazed Python Dr. Bag is by equal parts fabulous and dazzling.

It's like he took a basic black python bag and BeDazzled it. Like ... really, really well. We can't say this looks like a doctor-style bag to us, but we do love the shape. The gathers at the sides make it feminine enough to stand up to the great big appliquéd BeJewels.

Is it just us, or do the multiple shapes and the spacing remind you of Louis Vuitton? We're certainly not accusing Mr. Falchi of being unoriginal, but if LV did this with their signature shapes, the result would be outrageously awesome.

This perfect-for-the-holidays glazed python bag is a sensible 7"H x 13"W x 4"D; large enough for your stethoscope and your makeup.

The Carlos Falchi Glazed Python Dr. Bag is available from Bergdorf Goodman for $1,695.00.

Today's bag is featured in the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. While the department store's annual holiday extravaganza is a bit more muted than it has been in previous years there are still plenty of glitzy treats. The Carlos Falchi tote from Neiman Marcus is python-embossed microfiber and measures 17"H x 17"W x 5"D. The handy tote has 10" shoulder handles and comes with a matching zip pouch for cosmetics and small items. The exclusive part is that Carlos agreed to hand sign each one. It comes in black, red or silver with a contrasting signature and sells for $220.

Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Esotico Pouffle Satchel, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Esotico Pouffle Satchel is an everyday bag for an extraordinary woman.

It doesn't come cheap -- this brown wild Indonesian python and rich Italian leather beauty will cost you almost $3,000. And sorry, Californians, as you probably know, python can't be shipped to you.

The bag has an easy elegance with its equestrian-style details atop its generous heap of python skin. We especially love the brassy-finished nickel hardware, making this bag appropriate with gold or silver jewelry.

This satchel would go just as well with jeans as an LBD (brown and black is okay this year), and at 9"H x 17 1/2"W x 4 1/2"D, it's large enough to take you from day to night with no trouble.

Look at the side buckles! We love this bag.

The Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Esotico Pouffle Satchel is available for pre-order from Neiman Marcus for $2,950.00.

Carlos Falchi Oversized Python Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Here's a clutch that's a little different than what I normally pick out -- it's luxe and glamorous but in an edgier, more organic way. It's the Oversized Python Clutch by Carlos Falchi and it has a very tribal vibe with the multi-colored hands showing off their large rings of brightly colored jewel appliques. Thanks to its neutral color palette this bag will go with quite a few outfits, although it's a bold piece that probably shouldn't be paired with too many other patterns or you could end up looking way too 'busy.' $1,510

Zagliani Small Puffy Python Satchel, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Small Puffy Python Satchel by Zagliani is perfect for those who want to carry some glitz and glam without necessarily loading up on jewels, sequins, or Swarovski crystals. It's a little bag, barely bigger than most clutches, but it has a cute puffy shape with a boxy top and a loop handle for easy carrying and tucking under your shoulder. Silver python leather, turn-lock closure, and a suede lining (my favorite!). A great, classy alternative if you find clutch bags a nuisance to hold onto. $1,865

Python Crystal Box Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

A woman can never have too many pretty black clutches I think, since they can easily be used season after season and with whatever dress is stylish at the moment. This Python Crystal Box Clutch by Ted Rossi appeals to my strange affinity for oversized faux jewels with clear and black Swarovski accents on black python leather. It's a tiny bag (only 6" wide) and has a removable shoulder strap for when you are, and aren't, in the mood for a clutch. Suede lining and magnetic closure, $695.

Carlos Falchi Hand Painted Python Hobo, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

We gasped when we saw this beautifully painted handbag by Carlos Falchi. A warning to the squeamish and/or Californians among you, though: It's python.

(And you can't get python in California.)

This white python skin bag is hand painted with bright, springy flowers in a sweeping, elegantly abstract design. On the Bergdorf Goodman website, you can zoom in to see the detail of how the brush strokes across the scales, giving the look of the of bag texture and dimension.

This gorgeous, decadent bag is 20"H x 20"W x 8"D, and includes a top zipper with a tassel toggle.

The Carlos Falchi Hand Painted Python Hobo is available from Bergdorf Goodman for $3,995.

Prada Pitone Tote, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Prada Pitone Tote is one seriously hot new handbag.

Posted on the Saks Fifth Avenue website:

"Due to popular demand, a customer may order no more than three units of this item every 30 days."

Good heavens! We also noticed that they are refusing to ship to California. And why is that? Python.

Pitone, for the uninitiated, means python in English, and it is unlawful to sell or ship python skin in California.

This python tote has a snakeskin side bow, leather lining, inside zip pocket and drawstring closure. Pretty fancy, but we'd imagine that the signature gold Prada logo is why it's selling quite so well.

The Prada Pitone Tote is available from Saks Fifth Avenue (unless you're in California) for $2,990.

Alexander McQueen Elvie Tote, Handbag of the Day

by Tracy Chait (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

In all its envy-inspiring green python is Alexander McQueen's newest addition to the Elvie line, a framed tote with ladylike handles and gold hardware. Available exclusively at Net-a-Porter yet not to shoppers in California (where shipping python only makes for a fashionable six months in the county jail), the bag features a turn lock to secure its contents. It's lined in brown suede and has a small zippered pocket inside. The bag retails for $5,380.

If python isn't your thing (or endangered species are), you can find a black patent version over at Harvey Nic's.

VBH Oval Compact Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Despite it's deceiving simply shape, I think this VBH Oval Compact Clutch will still catch a lot of eyes because it's so unique. Its hard shell is described as being covered with "red gradiated python leather" but it looks like fuchsia to me (which isn't bad), and it also features silver metal hardware that includes some ornate trim along the top. The inside is lined with luxe suede and features a silver logo plaque. Certainly not a clutch that will go with very many dresses but certainly one that will make a statement when it does.

Bottega Veneta Python Sandals

by Star Sutherland (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

Bottega Veneta has been making exclusive high quality couture since the early 1960's. After merging with Gucci a few years ago I have noticed their designs appeal to a younger crowd and seem to be getting more stylish with each passing season. These new python sandals are perhaps their most popular shoe to date and are available exclusively to those willing to pre- order and join the waiting list. With a four inch heel, gold hardware and python straps these sandals aren't cheap, they retail for $1,170 and based on their popularity nobody seems to mind!

Be & D Greta Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Take luxury to new heights with Be & D's Greta Clutch. Made of chinchilla and accented with an oversized black patent python buckle, this adds "ooh la la" to the most mundane and monochromatic outfits. Soft to the touch and beautifully constructed, the Greta Clutch is exquisite. I cannot speak to how well chinchilla holds up or how durable it is when held in someone's hand for possibly hours – especially if you have sweaty palms – but nonetheless it is gorgeous. The interior is lined with suede and features a zippered pocket to store delicate and personal items. Clutch dimensions: 13" L x 3" W x 6" H. Price: $995.
