Tumi Townhouse Alligator Accessories

Filed under: Men's Style

Tumi alligator
Stylish luggage and travel accessories company Tumi has just come out with its most luxurious designs yet: two new additions to its exclusive Townhouse collection finished in the world's finest alligator skin. Slim and sleek, the Parliament Brief (above) bears slender retractable handles and zip top closure and is priced at $13,000. A signature polished nickel clasp closure secures the Windsor Envelope, which is priced at $12,000. The two pieces together cost $25,000. Starting in the fall the cases will be available by special order only. Handmade in Italy, each piece is constructed from the finest alligator skins and lined in supple tan suede. As we reported earlier this year, President Obama carries a black Tumi briefcase.

Fendi Floral Box Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


This Floral Box Clutch by Fendi just screams 'city chic with a softer side' and 'sophisticated summer romance.' Pretty shades of pink on white with silver hardware make for a feminine, flirty appeal while a contrasting black back and black leather lining add an unexpectedly hard contemporary edge. The flower detailing is done in cotton and is hand-stiched and painted over a satin bag front, before being topped off with a logo-embossed cube-clip fastening (and of course the chain strap is detachable). Wow, what an eclectic mix of colors, materials, and styles. $1,498

G-Bag Bauletto Piccolo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Nothing like a big dose of bright red to catch some eyes and make a statement! Tod's G-Bag Bauletto Piccolo Satchel looks like red patent leather in these photos but it's really coated canvas -- which makes it lighter on both you and your wallet. There is leather in the form of contrasting brown trim and double handles that are adjustable via buckles. Other details include zip-top closure and a wide opening, little metal feet on the bottom, and a dark brown nylon lining. $850

Costume National Leather Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

I don't know that the term "slouchy" has ever applied to a bag as much as it applies to this one. It's Costume National's Leather Hobo and in addition to the ultra-relaxed shape and roomy shoulder handle there's some ruching detail along each side for an extra dose of style. Available in brown or black, it has zip and cell phone pockets inside, a silk lining (a little unexpected glam!), and an inside hook closure. It's certainly a casual bag that would look great with a t-shirt and jeans. $1,125

Lucy Leather Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Brown leather is so classic and appealing -- I think almost all of us have owned a brown leather bag at some point in our lives! Jimmy Choo understands the appeal as well as anyone, shaping it this time into a richly-colored brown leather printed shoulder bag called "Lucy." It features a simple foldover front with a clip fastening. All the hardware is goldtone, which includes more clip fastenings on the shoulder strap and zipper closure along the bag's top. Plus several pockets and a tan suede lining can be found inside. $1,495

Chiffon Rose Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Mary Norton's Chiffon Rose Clutch is not a bag that can probably go with you through all four seasons, but it's so darling it seems worthy as a late spring, summer, and perhaps early fall investment. It's flouncy, feminine energy would go perfectly with everything from jeans to summer evening gowns, and it seems especially appropriate for weddings. Made of "frothy silk chiffon" the bag features a clip closure, 7" chain strap, a single pocket on the inside and a silk lining. And it's probably smaller than you think, measuring only 7" x 6" x 2". $995

Mini Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

It's tiny and it's classic, the Bottega Veneta Mini Shoulder Bag. And although it might have a classic shoulder-bag shape, this version is updated with oxidized metallic leather that's made to look as if it's almost worn through in spots to reveal a woven or braided effect beneath. Another somewhat unique feature on this shoulder bag is its removeable strap that makes it into an instant clutch -- usually it's the clutch that can become a shoulder bag! Lined in suede it measures only 9" x 7" x 4", $890.

Braided Patchwork Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The Braided Patchwork Hobo by Bottega Veneta will bring soft, slouchy leather to your wardrobe in a pretty shade of light chocolate brown accented with darker brown weaving for a patchwork look turned slightly retro thanks to the thick braided double handle. The roomy interior is lined in luxe gray suede and features pockets that zip, snap, and hold your cell phone. Closes via magnet (I wish it zipped, personally) and is overall a very simple, casual statement that oozes class and timeless fashion appeal. Seems a worthwhile investment, $2,480.

Kooba Tied Convertible Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


The Tied Convertible Hobo bag by Kooba has such a relaxed feeling to it I can't seem to picture it with anything other than a cute pair of jeans. Available in several different colors (including classics white and black) this lilac version isn't too bright that you can't almost treat it as a neutral. The bag is simplicity at its best, with nothing more than supple leather styled into a basic decorative knot on one side, which can be adjusted to make one strap extra long for a hip-slung variation. $575

Burberry Cotton Check Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Black and white checks will never go out of style, and they seem to know it because they continue to reappear year after year in the fashion scene. This version of the classic is from Burberry, and although they've done checks before this Cotton Check Tote is fresh in a bright new pattern with a versatile detachable cross-body strap (which is in addition to the double handles). Other features include leather trim to accent the cotton fabric, zip-top closure, several interior pockets, and a black leather lining. $1,295

Satin Evening Mindanao-Print Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The Satin Evening Mindanao-Print Bag by Emilio Pucci is a pretty thing with a surprise snap compartment on the bottom that has just enough room to stash a few beauty essentials and includes a vanity mirror. The main compartment is a round satchel with a drawstring closure via double straps in matching silk-print fabric and a silk lining.

I really like it except the mirror on the bottom concerns me -- it's attached to the bag and you have to tip the bag to use it. Won't that spill the contents all over the place? $1,495

'Stud Devote' Belted Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Looking for a handbag with that bad-girl studded vibe? The Rebecca Minkoff 'Stud Devote' Belted Tote has studs galore, rows and rows of them, handplated and placed on rich Italian leather. This color, which I think absolutely glows next to the gold studs, is called "Papaya" and will easily take you fashionably all the way through summer and into the fall. Magnetic top closure, lots of interior pockets, and protective metal feet round out this useful tote (plus if the bright orange isn't your thing it also comes in brown). $695

Bonnie Jeweled Canvas Carryall, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


The Bonnie Jeweled Canvas Carryall by Coach is one of those bags that just makes me happy and I'm not sure exactly why. The bag is made of jeweled cotton twill and features a cutesy graphic print of a girl advertising 'PEACE RIGHT NOW' on her numerous handbags. Crinkle patent leather trim, interior pockets specially designed for gadgets like your PDA, and a haphazardly placed exterior pocket with turnlock closure give it even more character. It also has a ring for clipping on an accessory or your keys, $698.

Pearlized Nuage Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The Valentino Pearlized Nuage Bag is fresh, bright, and shiny for spring and summer. White pearlized patent leather nuage lends a new vibe for 2009 while keeping the classic silhouette and bow detail intact. Versatile and obviously easy to pair with a variety of outfits, the sheen gives it a bit of extra glam while the roomy divided interior satisfies your practical side. It's smaller bag (only 11 1/2" x 10" x 5") and features a magnetic snap closure, double handles, and a colorful cotton lining. $995

Tory Burch Thalie Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

If you're looking for a conversation starting tote that will both brighten up your wardrobe and serve the handy function of holding lots of your stuff, this Thalie Tote by Tory Burch is worth taking a look at. Boldly pairing bright purple polished leather with insets of geometric blue printed burlap, this tote has a cut-out handle and a detachable cross-body chain strap for easy maneuvering if you have other things to carry. Inside it has a pretty cotton lining, a few pockets, and plenty of room for all your essentials. $550
