Dolce & Gabbana's One-of-a-Kind Bags

Filed under: Handbags


Carrying one of the new Dolce & Gabbana 'One-of-a-Kind' bags means you were personally invited to one of a select few events at a D&G boutique, as that's the only way to get one. The collection includes 17 bags made of crocodile skin, pony skin, and suede in various combinations, and the warm, intense color schemes are meant to evoke feelings of the English countryside. Sizes vary from small to big and each bag in the collection is designed for women who want a favorite bag that they carry with them every day to every occasion.

Styledrops -- Italian Fashion, With Passion

Filed under: Apparel, Handbags, Shoes, Children, Men's Style

While researching something for Luxist, I came across Styledrops, a fashion site for men, women and children that sells upscale Italian designer goods. For women, select from shoes, handbags, clothing and accessories. Same for men, minus the handbags. Kids get shoes and clothing. The site boasts "the best price you have ever seen on the Internet!"

A sampling of brands: Prada, Gucci, Fendi, Tod's, Hogan, Dior, Fratelli Rossetti, Ferragamo, Cesare Paciotti, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and Frankie Morello. Check here for the whole list for women, men and kids. Choose by type of item, designer or price.

I haven't purchased from the site so I can't vouch for service or quality, but the site itself is easy to navigate and has some very high-end items.

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Pocket Patchwork Snakeskin Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Bright and cheerful, the Miss Pocket Patchwork Snakeskin North/South Bag by Dolce & Gabbana will go with almost any outfit (probably best on solid colors though) and in my opinion fits in during any season. Made in Italy of genuine snakeskin with suede trim, it has silver hardware, a fine textile lining, and a suede patch embossed with "Miss Pocket" on the inside. It also has short leather handles and a longer shoulder strap (both detachable), plus an engraved nameplate that dangles on the outside of the bag. $3,995

In the Bedroom with Dolce & Gabbana

Filed under: Apparel, Books

The world's top fashionistas spend their lives designing things for other people, but they often reserve their true talents for themselves. A glimpse into their personal lives - and not in the tabloid sense - often reveals more about their real sensibilities and style than their runway creations, which are often masked by more commercial concerns.

Marie Bariller's gorgeous new book, Dressing the Home: The Private Spaces of Top Fashion Designers affords a rare glimpse at the interior lives (so to speak) of some of the biggest names in fashion. Included are two houses owned by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who wrote the introduction to the book, and who describe their aesthetic as "luxury that combines romanticism with irony, always executed with care and professionalism."

We also get to see where style stars like Christian Louboutin, Gilles Mendel, Jacopo Etro, Catherine Malandrino, Patrick Cox, Betsey Johnson, and Diane von Furstenberg, among others, hang their hats. As you might expect, they're pretty talented at dressing their homes as well.

D&G Satin Evening Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

This is an evening bag that should make any woman feel elegant, feminine, and timeless. The D&G Satin Evening Bag has a slight 'old-fashioned' vibe, in a good way, and would be the perfect accessory for a favorite little black dress. Made of fine satin inside and out, plus with polished gold hardware and metal grained leather trim it has the look of shimmering elegance without trying too hard by adding jewels or other bling. The bag folds up to open at the top via a kiss-lock closure and to reveal a D&G logo on the front, just above the pleats. 9 1/2" x 5 1/2" (when folded) x 1/2", $455.

D & G Round-Toe Flats

Filed under: Shoes

Dolce & Gabbana is an Italian based fashion house famous for its trend setting designs. These unique and playful D&G flats caught my attention, they remind me of the jelly sandals I had in the 80s! Available in eye catching shades, bright pink, lime green, turquoise, or violet and made of satin, it's hard to pick a favorite. Available for $485 on the Neiman Marcus website where any shoe purchase over $200 entitles you to a butterfly shoe bag.

Dolce & Gabbana Limited Edition Bags, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Dolce & Gabbana is launching a set of 11 limited edition bags for the 2008 spring and summer season. Featuring elegant and exotic skins from python and crocodile, plus a mix of both traditional styles and a few new shapes (i.e. a 'lounge bag' and an elongated satchel that converts to a maxi clutch), the inside of each bag will have a hand embroidered 'Limited Edition' fabric label that includes the bag's creation number and, upon request, can be even further personalized with the name of the proud new owner (and only 10 of each style will be produced so if you want to be one of them you better hurry).

Dolce & Gabbana Winter 2008 Menswear

Filed under: Apparel

The global rounds of fashion week have brought us a wide variety of styles that range from boring to out of this world. One fashion house that always manages to blast off is Dolce & Gabbana. The Italian duo takes a space voyage with its winter 2008 menswear collection. With loads of metallic silvers, bronzes, and gold, the collection has a very space program theme to it. Coats and and pants reminiscent of spacesuits are blended with sleek sweaters and form fitting leather. Dark suits with metallic ties lend a secret agent feel to the collection all the while continuing the not-so-subtle celestial theme. The item that I feel is the hotspot of the offering is the tight biker jacket in a variety of materials. I'm thinking I'll be needing one.

Dolce & Gabbana New Miss Perfect Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Dolce & Gabbana always has appealing names for their bags, like Miss Lover, Miss Really Hot and the New Miss Perfect Bag. This bag is from the designer's fall lineup and is still on preorder. It is made of pebbled black leather and has an open top with a flap closure. All the hardware, including the buckle that adorns the front of the bag, is gold-tone and the lining is DG's signature leopard print silk. The double straps are long enough, with a 9 1/2" drop, to loop over your shoulder, leaving your hands free for other things. It measures 13"H X 20"L X 6"W. Price: $1,150.

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Lover Two-Tone Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Dolce & Gabbana is vamping up its fall line with the release of their Miss Lover Two-Tone Flap handbag. Unlike other Miss Lover incarnations, this bag has a few new details that make it exceptional, like a perforated edge that gives it a slightly edgy look and a gold chain shoulder strap, with a leather braid woven through it. The bag is made of leather in two colors, brown and dark bordeaux/maroon, with tonal top-stitching that maintains the sultry look of the bag. It has a slightly gathered shape that helps the bag look worn in. The bag can be coordinated with most dark-colored outfits, but if you dress to match the spirit of the bag, you'll probably end up with a few more looks throughout the evening. Price: $1,395.

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Ruches Small Bag

Filed under: Handbags

Looking for a feminine, flirty yet sophisticated handbag? Dolce & Gabbana has solved that dilemma with their Miss Ruches Small Bag. I love the deep red color, which makes it great to wear throughout the year. The double top handle leather bag features a ruffle trim and a coin purse for easy access. The wrinkled leather look is pretty cool too. It has a double magnetic closure, an interior zip pocket and is lined with canvas. Bag dimensions: 10"H X 13"L X 4%uFFFD"W. Price: $1395.
