Fendi Chef Leather Frame Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I don't know about you, but handbag names intrigue me. With the softly pleated dove white leather, is this bag meant to resemble an upside down chef's hat? Or is there some food connection that I am unaware of? Either way, the bag is cute and relatively understated. Top-stitched with contrasting black, the bag features very little in the way of hardware: silver tone handle attachments and the required Fendi logo charm. The shoulder straps have a 9" drop and the bag itself measures 21" W X 11"H X 9"D. With a zip top closure, it is lined in canvas and features one interior zip pocket. $1360.

Karen Wilson Sphere Pomegranate, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I have a weakness for beautiful fabric. I am drawn to gorgeous prints, patterns and colors and as a result, I have a closet full of textiles that I have no real use for. I could justify buying this, however, because it is beautiful and useful. In addition to the great print, I love the barely-there strap and the way the clasp peeks out above the delicately gathered fabric. $249.

Glenda Geis Aqua Bella, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I discovered Glenda Geis while browsing at Alison Nelson's Chocolate Bar, where they offer two of her limited edition bags filled with gourmet chocolates and teas. They are both lovely, as are all the other designs at Layla Grace, but it is this one that I love and must have. Typical of her bags, the Aqua Bella features a beautiful vintage fabric donning a simply styled frame bag. With a removable blue leather flower, very little hardware and a plain strap, the bag is spare and clean, yet still stunning. Even the interior of this bag is gorgeous, with a contrasting fabric in blue and brown and a single zip pocket. Because these bags are made from vintage fabrics, each one is a limited edition. $270.

My Dior Logo Frame Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


The strap on this bag brings to mind finely carved wood. Of course, the handle is leather, but the top-stitching gives it dimension and is an attractive detail. The bag itself is a beige Dior logo jacquard fabric with a contrasting leather trim on the zippered top. The Dior logo makes another appearance, etched into the decorative accessory on the front of the bag, accented with silver-tone rings. With minimal silver-tone hardware on the buckles, straps and protective feet, the bag is a study in neutrals. Lined with tan satin, the interior of the bag features zip, cell and pouch pockets. $1290.
