Juicy Couture Betsy Leather Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Many of the handbags from Juicy are a little over-the-top in terms of accessories and ornamentation. While "youth" is a big part of their image, their handbags do not appeal to as broad an audience as some of the other designers we like. That said, their Betsy Leather Hobo is a refreshing change. The simple bag is made of smooth leather that is slightly gathered at the top, where there is a thin leather belt encircling the opening and a heart charm attached. The lining is canvas and all the hardware is silver. It measures 11½"H X 19"L X 5"W. Price: $350.

Juicy Couture Canvas Messenger, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

With a distressed, slightly fraying edge, the Canvas Messenger Bag from Juicy Couture is meant to look like it is well-worn and much-used, although it is surely not meant to invoke the idea that it was used to carry books back and fourth between classes, despite the fact that the bag is likely to be used to that very purpose. Distressing a bag by carrying too many school books just doesn't seem to fit with Juicy's intended image. The messenger bag is made of green cotton canvas and has golden hardware accents. The leather shoulder strap is detachable and, to give the bag a bit of a vintage touch, the top flap ties with a thin cord instead of a snap. Price: $295.

Fur Goes Casual in Fall

Filed under: Apparel

Real fur has long been one of the materials of choice for the cool-weather clothes of the well dressed and the well-to-do. Even in the face of protestors, it has retained its elegance and you are guaranteed to see many women in furs out in New York City, for example, in the winter. Juicy Couture is trying to bring fur down a little, judging from the look of their Reversible Fleece Hoodie with Rabbit Fur. The cotton fleece hoodie has a drawstring hood and distressed seams, which contrast with its fur vest lining. Though reversible, even having the soft rabbit fur clearly visible does little for the look. Let's face it: you can't dress up a fleece hoodie no matter how much fur you put into it. The only question is to whether pieces like this one will spark a trend of more casual uses of fur, possibly eliminating a lot of the prestige associated with its use, or not. Price: $650.

Juicy Couture Launches Sunglasses Line

Filed under: Apparel

Juicy Couture has launched a new sunglasses line. Not the most innovative designs we have ever seen but they do deserve points for big glittery branding. The Gela sunglasses shown here, named after one of the co-founders of the fashion line, has a big crystal Juicy on the side and sells for $220. The sunglasses include a gift with purchase, a pink leather case.

Juicy Couture Shoes

Filed under: Apparel

Juicy Couture has a new shoe line that seem to be geared up to pair perfectly with the madly-popular-several-years-ago Juicy velours. The shoes are mainly casual and include several thong sandals (including some in pink terrycloth). There are also a couple of pairs of cowboy boots and these cork platforms. They are charming in a summery way but $295 seems a bit much for these beachside babies.
