Gunmetal Zuma Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

This is one of those bags that I both love and hate at the same time. I love that it's so slouchy and distressed, and I love the uniqueness of the knots in the design, but I hate that it looks like it was slopped together in some kind of emergency or something. It's the Zuma Satchel by Michael Kors, shown here in gunmetal, and there isn't much else to say about this one other than it has silvertone hardware, a double-zip top, and a hanging logo tag (which makes it look a little like luggage I think). $995

Michael Kors Skorpios Hobo, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Everybody loves a good hobo bag, and this one by Michael Kors is no exception. Not sure why it's called "Skorpios" (I'm sure I'm missing something obvious so if you have an idea feel free to let me know in the comments) but it's an attractively simple bag, featuring a large ring that flops over the framed top on a braided leather strap and a matching single braided leather handle attached with smaller gold rings. $995

I'm thinking maybe the way the ring hangs over to the front of the bag is reminiscent of a scorpion's tail???

Michael Kors Runway Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Woo! I love this pink. How can you not? Hot pink has been popular for ages and here it is done up nice and classy by Michael Kors in sleek patent leather and contemporary silver hardware. The top is framed and opens on a hinge, with nothing more than a tiny logo embossed on the top closure. And if neon isn't your thing (although you might want to take a look at the "Day Glo Orange" and "Acid Yellow" options before you decide) there's also more subdued "Espresso" and even a python skin option. Runway Clutch: $595.

The Classicist: Summer of Steve McQueen

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Books, Men's Style, The Classicist

Super cool movie star Steve McQueen was without a doubt one of the most stylish men of all time. As we've noted in the past, his rugged sportiness, authentic masculinity and innate good taste have inspired countless fashion designers, not to mention scores of other actors who followed in his wake. McQueen fans of all sorts have a lot to celebrate this summer: there are two major new books on the "King of Cool" coming out, as well as a special McQueen tribute edition Ford Mustang, while the star's famous 1970 Porsche, worth an estimated $2 million, is going up for auction.

The first book just went on sale: Steve McQueen: A Life in Pictures edited by Yann Brice Dherbier (Pavilion, $40). The mix of classic and less well-known images of the style icon is artfully put together, but what struck us most about the book was its large format, showing details that you just don't get in smaller versions (see the gallery for a preview). For instance, in this cover image you can clearly see that McQueen is wearing a classic Baracuta jacket from England - which by the way are still sold here at Ben Silver in Charleston, one of the best men's clothiers in the country.

Equally striking and noticeable due to the impressive scale are the identifiable images which have clearly influenced designers like Ralph Lauren and Michael Kors who have built whole collections and ad campaigns around the King of Cool. Lauren in particular is a well-known McQueen fanatic. The index to Michael Gross' brilliant biography of the designer, Genuine Authentic, contains no less than six separate entries for the actor.

Gross writes that Lauren staged shoots based on McQueen's movies - his favorite film is said to be 1968's The Thomas Crown Affair - sometimes with himself in the starring role, and hung photos of the actor in both his houses and stores. If you look closely enough at the photos in Dherbier's book and compare them to Lauren's designs you can see where he copied sweaters, jackets, details on suits, even the carelessly elegant way McQueen always wore his clothes.

The other book, Unforgettable Steve McQueen hasn't been published yet - we'll update you on that when the time comes - but it features a foreword by another McQueen wannabe: Brad Pitt. We'd say he's making a good start at filling the King of Cool's shoes, but he's got a ways to go yet.

Michael Kors Braided Satchel, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

This Braided Satchel bag by Michael Kors makes me think of wicker furniture, which is a good thing since I associate wicker with outdoor summer days and timeless appeal. Made of braided corn husks (which I think is really cool), the old fashioned appeal gets a serious modern upgrade with gold metal hardware and metallic grained leather trim and handles. Generously sized and in a nice, natural, and bright neutral shade, it has a canvas lining and 3 interior pockets. A perfect everyday bag for toting around all your daily essentials. $538

Michael Kors Beverly Gator Watch Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Sandy Maple (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

This bright bag from Michael Kors definitely scores some points for originality. A simple alligator-embossed leather clutch in a fresh lime green is dressed up with a masculine, gold-tone...watchband? I guess it is better than skulls and bracelet charms, but where is this taking us? If leftover watch parts can find a home on high-end handbags, can cuff links and tie tacks be far behind? It is a lovely bag that probably would have been best left unadorned. $3,000.

Michael Kors Sutton Patchwork Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Sandy Maple (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Michael Kors is big on the buckles these days and I can see the attraction. The gold-tone hardware adds a dash of shine while giving the appearance of being completely functional. Of course, this big gold buckle is purely decorative but it looks lovely with a wide patent leather strap threaded through. The bag itself looks pretty simple, but there are actually three different leathers involved in the patchwork pattern - patent, matte and suede. The bag fastens with a magnetic snap and is also available in a brown/black version. $395.

Michael Kors Moroccan Basket Tote, Handbag of the Day

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Michael Kors' Moroccan Basket Tote is a lovely hybridization between the classically casual woven handbag style and a more upmarket bag. Made of rich chocolate brown leather, the bag is accented with circular links and gold studs. The tote has a rounded shape, allowing it to expand as needed, and has a small snap closure concealed just inside the bag's reinforced leather trim, with an internal zip pocket for extra security. This is a style that would work equally well with jeans or a summery, tan business suit. Price: $995.

Michael Kors Vintage Rose Saddle Flap Bag , Handbag of the Day

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

This small Michael by Michael Kors Vintage Rose Saddle Flap Bag has an updated western look to it. The chocolate brown leather and brass studs are very western, as is the saddle bag-style flap, but the cutout flower design has a modern feel and gives the bag a youthful, casual appeal. It would look great with jeans. The bag measures only 11"W x 7"H x 2 1/2"D and has a 9" drop from the strap, which is not adjustable. It is also available in black. Price: $248.

Michael Kors Signature Venus Shopper, Handbag of the Day

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

We can't say that we really liked the last Michael Kors handbag that we saw here. Although it combined all the appropriately "in" elements for the fall season, it just didn't work that well as a whole. The Michael Kors Signature Venus Shopper, on the other hand, is much simpler and works out to be much more pleasing to the eye. The bag comes in three basic colors - chocolate, tan and black - and is accented with contrasting topstitching and antiqued brass hardware. One addition detail is that the bag's drawstring pulls end with cute little "M" and "K" charms. It measures 10"H x 12 1/2"W x 6"D. Price: $428.

Michael Kors Kilt Flap Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Michael Kors Kilt Flap Shoulder Bag mixes an unusual combination of elements to produce an unmistakable bag for fall. Anthracite chains and square studs define the edgy look of the bag, but on top of the chains, the bag is made of a black, textured leather that adds an extra touch to the styling. The leather fringe on the top flap is inspired by a kilt design, but serves to slightly soften the fairly utilitarian handbag in this case. The bag is compact (12" x 6" x 1") and fits easily over the shoulder, padded by a leather shoulder rest in the center of the chain strap. Price: $795.

Michael Kors Skorpios Hobo, Handbag of the Day

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Michael Kors has put out some great, large bags this season and the Skorpios Hobo is no exception. Though classified as a hobo and not as a tote, the bag actually falls somewhere in between the two styles. It has a single shoulder strap, attached with clips at either end, and an unstructured open top for easy access to the bag's contents. It is made of supple calfskin and available in both black and brown. The black bag has tarnished silver studs and hardware, while the brown has gold. All the studs are uniquely shaped as small pyramids, which lends them an unusually geometric look that complements the slouchy style of the bag. Price: $1,195.
