Villador Python Giant Bow Tote Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

It's as though the Handbag Angels wrapped this perfectly beautiful Villador bag in a bow just for you. Well, perhaps not, but it doesn't keep us from thinking that this would make the perfect just-because-I-love-you gift, if someone had a spare $5,446. Made with python in an understated pale yellow, the Giant Bow Tote Bag is minimally adorned with blue piping and an over-sized bow for an ultra feminine and flirty touch. It features an interior and an exterior zippered pocket. The Villador Giant Bow Bag is the ultimate investment handbag and would look perfect with anything.

Marni Rubber Necklace, Jewelry From Recycled Tires

Filed under: Jewelry, Green

I came across Marni's Necklace and was drawn to its simple beauty. The colorful bows and feathers against a deep black backdrop together create an eye catching piece. I especially liked the mix of texture and shapes that were used. Upon seeing it, I initially thought it was made from beads but was pleasantly surprised to discover that it's made from recycled tires. If I had the ability I would definitely try to make a necklace that is "inspired by" Marni's Rubber Necklace ($445).

It's such a treat to find items that have used recycled material to create something new. Who knew you could make neckties out of cassette tapes? That is pretty amazing. And even though this has been going on for quite some time and we are exposed to a wide array of items that we can use in practically all facets of our lives, I am still amazed by the ingenious minds that are behind instilling new life into materials that may initially appear useless.

Chie Mihara To-The-Top Booties

A bow is a sure-fire way to make a piece of clothing or accessory fun and flirty. But, if it's not executed well, it can have the opposite effect and seem like whatever your wearing is better suited for someone much younger.

Thankfully, Chie Mihara has a great design eye. By having three little bows along the vamp against the backdrop of understated brown suede, Mihara's To-The-Top Booties have a well balanced blend of flirty, sexy and fun. It features a hidden snap closure under the top bow which doesn't take away from the overall design and makes it easy to slip on. The To-The-Top Booties also has a 3 ¾" inch heel that gives you some height but these heels are so comfortable that they won't torment your feet. Price: $375

Betsey Johnson Harley Heels

Betsey Johnson's style is unique, edgy and unexpected to say the least. So its a little surprising to see how tame the Harley Sandals are. They feature a funky mix of dark and light floral prints and a cork heel which will add some extra padding and comfort. The skinny ankle strap and dainty bow at the toe instantly adds a flirty and feminine feel to any spring dress. Price: $175.

Aionoued Bow Clutch in Satin, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

We originally covered the Aionoued Bow Clutch back in May when it was featured in chic black alligator leather (and cost a steep $4,190), but as with many things now that the design has been out for awhile the more affordable versions are becoming available. For this Christian Louboutin clutch that means pretty black satin instead of leather, which is just as stylish but cuts the price significantly. It has all the same features, including a hidden magnetic closure and the signature Louboutin red as a lining. $725

Bow Bag Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

It's a big, silver, lacy-looking bow that doubles as a clutch.

What do you think of it?

My first impression was 'geez, who wouldn't look tacky carrying that?' But the more I look at the more I think it's really sort of charming. In an off-beat, ultra-feminine- with-a-hint-of-biker-chick sort of way.

The Bow Bag Clutch from Marc by Marc Jacobs features silver metallic leather with a double overlay of netting. It has two pockets (one on each side of the bow's center) each with its own zipper closure and bright pink lining. Also features a short chain strap with attached designer logo. $250

Bags with Bows

Bows might just be the new black - or should I say that they might be the new padlock? It looks like there are many new handbags in the fall collections of various designers utilize bows. Valentino's Floral Applique Clutch ($1,080) may have black leather flowers, but it also has a huge bow on the strap. Be & D's Python Clutch ($3,200) is nothing more than a huge, red bow, though at least you get the sense that there is a bag behind it, unlike the Yves St Laurent Metallic Bow Bag (pictured, $845), which looks like a bow with a strap. The question is do you love it or hate it? It's pretty clear that the designers think we want more bows in our wardrobes, but I think that they might want to stick with the smaller, cuter bows in the future, rather than dressing everyone up like a doll without a sense of proportion.
