Diesel Walla Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

I have to say that with all the bags that I've featured on Luxist, I have never done one quite like this one. No, I'm not talking about handbags from Diesel, although I must admit that they have been sadly lacking in this feature. I'm talking about a handbag for kids. Diesel's Walla Bag is a cute way for girls to graduate from a backpack to a purse, adding something a little more stylish to their growing wardrobe. It is made of a soft, light gray fabric with green trim and has reflective accents, as well as an adjustable shoulder strap and zip top. Price: $65.

MadeByGirl Coffee Tables

Jennifer Ramos is the designer behind MadeByGirl Coffee Tables. The pieces start with old, high-quality Chippendale-style coffee tables and are dressed up with leather, bold prints and other decorative touches. The result is a piece that combines both old and new, traditional and, because of the use of leather, a little bit of a "western" look. The pictured table is the Red Hot, which is a mahogany table topped with smooth, distressed red leather, zebra-print hide and a variety of studs. Price: $1,400.

Rent a Fembot

Filed under: Gadgets

The name Sanrio is usually associated with Hello Kitty, but perhaps now it will also be associated with another girly product: fembots. A Sanrio subsidiary, Kokoro, created and refined the Actroid DER2. She has a much wider range of motion and expression than the previous DER model, and her lip movements coordinate surprisingly well with her speech. Unfortunately, she has to be pre-programmed with things to say and motions, so she won't really be able to interact with you, but you can still rent her for about $3,500 per week (400,000 yen) if you're interested in taking her - and possibly her tech support people - for a spin.

Custom Couture Designer's Portfolio

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel

Once little girls are old enough to accompany their parents on shopping trips and start having an input in what they want to wear, it is not a big leap for them to want to design their own outfits. Most girls don't get the opportunity to do this, but with the Custom Couture Kit they can make their dream a reality. The design portfolio that is included has fabric swatches, pencils, sketchpad, and a questionnaire, which will help determine the final design. The design will then be made by a professional designer in New York, who will consult on color, fabric and fit, before completing the garment and sewing in a custom label bearing the designer's own name. Price: $800.
