Etro Patent Top Handle Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Etro's Spring/Summer 2007 leather collection is big on the buckles and this bag is no exception. Against the black patent leather, these over-sized buckles will be obvious from across the room. Think of them as conversation pieces for your body. The bag is large at nearly 11 inches square, has double handles and a zip top. $1300.

Cole Haan Village Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


This bag has a bit of a hippie vibe. From the Village Collection, the leather hobo sports a perforated, scrolled fern design on the front and and visible stitching all around. The back of the bag features a gold tone logo plaque and the interior is lined in natural canvas. With an inset zipper closure at the top, the bag also has all the necessary pockets: zip, patch and cell-phone. The whip stitched shoulder strap has a 10 inch drop and the bag itself measures a roomy 17 inches. On sale now for $237.

Fendi Camouflage Media Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I love orange and the patent leather trim on this bag really makes things pop. Lots of interesting details here: over sized camouflage-print buckles with logo prongs, chain insets on the tan zucca-print shoulder straps and gold-tone hardware. It all contrasts nicely with the brown/dark green leather of the bag. $1,920.

Fenton Earl Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


This tote is more than just a large bag with a groovy green and black print. It has a handy hook at the top that allows you fold it over to create a smaller bag. Opened full size, it's a roomy 18.5 inches, but when hooked, it is a mere 8 inches. Trimmed in black leather, the bag feature two large magnetic-snap pockets on the front and double handles. Inside, it's lined in suede and has four patch pockets and a key chain. With a removable chain tassel and two charms included, the bag sells for $925.

Fendi Patent Magic Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


To me, what makes this bag magic is the beautiful color. They call it tobacco, but I think it looks more like warm chocolate caramel. I like the fact that the tarnished silver hardware and studded accents are kept to a minimum and don't detract the focus from where it belongs -- on the gorgeous patent leather. With a small logo turn-lock closure, the bag looks trendy and classic at the same time. The interior is lined with canvas and features a zip pocket. $1,300.

Isabella Fiore Paisley Frame Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Isabella Fiore's bags always catch my eye. They stand out from other bags and I have yet to come across one that I don't love. I like this one for the pretty contrasting detail as well as the shape. With a black leather paisley cutout over ivory, the bag is accented with antique brass hardware. The frame top is secured with a turn-lock closure and the inside features three pockets, one zip compartment and a cotton lining. $544.

Tracy Reese Cecily Flap Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


There is a lot going on with this bag, but somehow it still looks clean and sleek. This satchel has goldtone hardware everywhere, including the protective feet. Fully lined with interior zip pocket and plenty more pockets on the outside, the bag is available in bone or a darker saddle leather. The only thing that detracts from the beauty of this bag is the somewhat clunky hardware on the turn-lock closure. I would prefer something simpler and a bit smaller. $795.

So cute it hurts. Fashion Wire Daily profiled the Femme Sud bags in one of their gift guides. The Ex Libris collection features leather clutches made up to look like books. They bear titles like Yearbook, Diary and Datebook and feature an interior leather page full of themed embroidery and other details that make it look like a book page. Inside it is like a normal clutch with small pockets and room for your essentials. Each "book” is a limited edition of 999 and sells for $495.
