Fendi To You Embellished Convertible Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


While I totally love the embellished fabric and the convertible-ness of this bag, I am not sure about the fold-over logo plate. It looks great when worn as a clutch, but a little awkward sticking up like this. The zip top runs right through the tan and brown striped logo plate, which spells out Fendi in tonal python trim and is topped off with a simple strap. The wine-colored fabric is dotted with paillettes, or sequins, and lined in cotton with an interior zip pocket. Do you love it? $5040.

Antrobus Convertible Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Apparel, Handbags

Handbags of late have been so uninspiring, but this design is clearly innovative and is sure to appeal to the masses. Most women have the same problem with bottomless-pit-style bags which seem to swallow-up everything which necessitates carrying a large bag in the first place, thereby rendering the style inefficient and clumsy. The designer of this bag however, Alison Antrobus, a RISD architecture graduate who was also frustrated by the hassle of searching through a disorganized tote, has come up with a unique solution to the changing needs of day by creating an adaptable handbag/drawer set/clutch for the stylish woman who needs her bag to be as brainy and beautiful as she is. The Antrobus bag retails online for $1,250 and begins as a geometric carryall in buttery black leather with brushed golden accents. From there, a two-drawer box emerges from the bottom permitting the top portion to be used alone as a smaller shoulder bag, and the bottom portion zips off into a folded clutch. She has managed to successfully synthesize utility with style; science with fashion, let's just hope it doesn't weigh a ton!
