Bottega Veneta Twisted Karung Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The Bottega Veneta Twisted Karung Bag is bold and beautiful, and a new step forward in the world of texture.

This medium-sized bag (9"H x 14"W x 9"D) takes a pattern which might not be that special if etched or done with stitching -- but incorporates twisted, gold-faced karung lizardskin (those sparkly gold flecks you see) to totally knock the idea out of the park.

The shape is simple and we love lilac color. The bag has a double zip top and is lined in luxurious suede.

The Bottega Veneta Twisted Karung Bag is available for pre-order from Neiman Marcus for $3,600.

Jimmy Choo Ciggy Glitter Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Made of fine-textured karung, the Ciggy Glitter Clutch is a charming addition to Jimmy Choo's new season lineup. The bag's slightly shimming finish gives it just enough glamour for evening wear, without being overdone, and the gold-tone hardware blends nicely with the rich brown color of the leather. The front buckle is engraved with the designer's logo and secures the top flap closure, which conceals a suede-lined interior. It is just large enough to hold all of your essentials - not just cigarettes, despite the name. Price: $895.

Tanner Krolle Big Ben Evening Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

This Big Ben Evening Bag is a limited edition piece from designer Tanner Krolle. It has rose gold hardware, as seen in the chains connecting the handles to the body of the bag, and a white silk satin lining. The camel-colored exterior is made of Karung. Karung is a very tightly scaled snakeskin, more akin to that of a traditional lizard than a more common python skin, but it is much larger than real lizard skins and can be used for larger designs. This gives the bag the smooth feel of snakeskin without the obvious markings that python skin often has, though this distinction becomes less important if the bag is ordered in the alternative color option: purple. Price: £550.
