Although premier brand strollers are nothing new the combination of Juicy's posh style and Maclaren's innovative design makes for a must-have in the baby department. The pink and brown stroller speaks to the fashion-inclined mom who wants her little princess to have luxury labels at an early age. With Maclaren's high standard it is not surprising to find such features as a five-point harness, removable washable seat, compact umbrella fold, foot-operated parking breaks, high performance aluminum frame, and proper weather-proof coverings. For $450 this stylish and safe stroller will surely be a conversation starter at the local playground. (See the gallery for other chic strollers available)
This medium-sized bag from Juicy Couture is perfect for everyday. With a logo-embossed goldtone clip lock on the front crossing the trapunto-stitched pocket, inside pockets for cell phone and other small essentials, and a heart-shaped mirror tucked inside, the smooth leather 'Hipster' Hobo handbag is fantastic. I love that the bag zips close to ensure nothing rolls out and that it holds just enough without affording a bountiful, heavy load. Plus with a ten-inch strap drop it will tuck under your arm perfectly -- another must for any bag I'll own. This $350 hobo comes in four great colors and measures 14" x 8" x 5".
I don't usually love Juicy Couture, but after months of looking for the perfect diaper bag (stylish & functional) , I've happily settled on this adorable Juicy Couture Stroller Bag. The gold accents...the signature lining peeking out, sooo haute! It's a somewhat reasonable $295, and it comes jam packed with Juicy goodies. A changing pad, bib and receiving blanket, branded with simple graphics and cutesy wording ("couture baby"). Available at Saks Fifth Avenue!
Part of the reason I love this bag is simply because the name is so fun: the Juicy Couture Classic Leather Fluffy. Although it is a little rumpled (or "fluffy") looking, all-in-all it's mostly very simple and classic in shape and it comes in just 2 classic colors: brown and black. Made of soft-grained leather with aged metal hardware, it features 2 padded leather handles attached with link chains, a flat bottom, interior pockets including one for a cell phone, dangling bead and embossed leather heart charm accents, and a hidden magnetic closure. $350
I don't usually go for Juicy bags as they tend to look a little young for me, but this one is rather sedate. It has just enough accessories to avoid being boring and is large enough to tote a weekend's worth of necessities. If there is one feature that makes it noteworthy, it is the wooden block charm which adds a nice, earthy feel. It wouldn't be Juicy without the chain and logo heart charm, which is uncharacteristically understated. It has a magnetic closure on the main compartment and the lined interior features a 6 inch zipper pocket as well as two accessory pockets. Also available in chocolate. $350.
Juicy Couture's It-Girl Fairy Tale bag is so named because it features a top metal plate emblazoned with the Juicy Couture fairy tale. What's the fairy tale? Basically it's the story of Juicy's two founders, Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor, who founded an empire. The shoulder bag is made of natural canvas with leather trim. It has a leather shoulder strap and a pair of leather-trimmed pockets. The bag sells for $450 which seems a bit much. The fairy tale badge seems more like an ego stroke for the founders than a fun detail.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
