Elliott Lucca Siren Satchel, Handbag of the Day

by Sandy Maple (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

I don't know that 'siren' accurately describes this bag, but I like it anyway. Glossy Italian leather with a crinkly finish, the tasseled bag looks sporty and casual. This side view doesn't accurately depict how large the bag really is - with a 3.5" flat bottom sporting protective feet, it's a big 12" inches wide by 7.5" high. With thick braided straps and gunmetal hardware, the bag is lined with graphite colored lining and features three interior pockets.$258.

Lambertson Truex Tenny Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

I am loving the crisp basket-weave on this tote. Weaving leather strips together this way isn't all that unique, but the contrasting top-stitching adds a nice touch and gives the pattern even more dimension. 17" double handles with a 61/2 inch drop makes for a nice fit on your shoulder and the hinge-locked flap opening gives easy access to the interior. The bag is lined in pretty baby blue suede and includes the standard zip, patch and cell pockets as well as a key fob and two card holders. Minimal polished silver-tone hardware on the bag and protective feet finish things off and the end result is a very wearable everyday tote. $957.

Hayden Harnett Orsay Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

I absolutely love the colorful print on this bag. Designed by French textile artist Madame Paule Marrot, the warmly colored geometric pattern will heat up a cool fall afternoon. This is actually the back side of the satchel - the reverse has a large leather patch with a zip pocket covering most of the beautiful print. Made from Italian vegetable tanned leather, the bag features three more pockets inside and is lined in a coordinating fabric. The shoulder strap is adjustable and the limited edition bag measures 15 1/2"L x 9"H x 4"D. It is also available in two other gorgeous prints. $335.

Paul Smith Violet, Handbag of the Day

by Sandy Maple (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Designer Paul Smith aims to combine his very Englishness with a bit of the unexpected. In this bag, he gives a rather traditional shape a jolt with color and pattern that just barely misses being psychedelic. It's the subtler hues that give this bag a calmer feel and I think the look is charming. The swirl pattern is printed on a soft Italian leather, accented with brushed gold-tone hardware. It has a large zip top closure under two buckle straps with magnetic closures. Inside, the bag is lined in cream colored canvas and has a cell phone pocket as well as an additional side pocket. It's a proper bag with flair. £475.00.

Prada Chevron Dome Bowler, Handbag of the Day

by Sandy Maple (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

I love red, but this bag might actually be too red. On the other hand, if you are going to pay $2495 for a bag, maybe you want to be noticed. Made from shiny chevron-quilted leather, this bowler from Prada's Fall collection features minimal gold-tone hardware and lots of style. With top handles and a detachable shoulder strap, it's as versatile as it is striking. The bag is also available in black with silver-tone hardware, but if you are going to do it, you may as well do it in red.

As our reader Ben who sent in the tip noted, Orbino cases might just give Vaja a run for their money when it comes to luxe cases for your gadgets. Their Orbino Cambio case for the video iPod is made of leather that is stitched by hand with waxed thread. The case features Orbino's spring-loaded combination belt clip and desk stand in polish palladium metal and a precious metal scroll wheel frame mounted with microscrews. The case has a cut-out for the charger and sells for $65. Orbino also makes gorgeous Italian leather handbags and stunningly beautiful and functional laptop cases.
