Nomad Fringe Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Black leather fringe makes a statement all its own, and no matter what you pair it with or how you wear it it's sure to be a noticed part of your ensemble.

This bag, the Nomad Fringe bag by Thomas Wylde, is swingy flippy fringe at its best. Made of soft and crinkled grained leather arranged in several tiered levels, the hardware is gunmetal silver and the bag features a quilted, spider-print lining. Also notice two rolled leather handles, a long detachable shoulder strap, and magnetic snap closure. $2,800

Thomas Wylde Zanzibar Leather Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Are skulls still in? I guess it makes sense that they are (and will always be) since they're one of the universal symbols for "bad-ass" and that attitude just never goes out of fashion.

I like this crystal-encrusted take on the skull by Thomas Wylde but I can't help but wonder why the little guy's mouth is hanging open ... is he hungry? About to say something? He looks more shocked than he does tough. Anyway ...

This Zanzibar Leather Clutch is made fold-over style with a zip closure on the front. Simple and interesting, I think this is the kind of handbag that grows on you over time. $1,495

Thomas Wylde Colossus Scorpion Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

This Thomas Wylde Colossus Scorpion Bag is for those who want something that is not only crisp and bright for spring but also has a bit of an edge to it. Two large scorpions formed from jewels and studs hang somewhat quietly (it takes a second to see what they are) onto the side of the distressed finish white lambskin leather, and it gets a few more "bad" points from large pointed studs on either side and a quilted scorpion print lining. Plus it has a chunky gold chain shoulder strap, magnetic closure, a nameplate on the back, and a flat leather base. $2500.


Thomas Wylde Fairground Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I think the skull trend should be just about over by now, but with Halloween approaching, it seems appropriate to spotlight a ghoulish bag. From a distance, you might not even recognize the dead heads all over this canvas bag. But you will notice the proliferation of gunmetal logos tags hanging from every possible location. By my count, there are five -including a stationary one on the front pocket. For me, that is about three too many. I do like the numerous pockets - a zippered front pocket, two patch pockets on the sides and another on the back. The rolled patent leather handles have a 5.5" drop and inside the bag is lined in skull logo canvas and features a patent-trimmed zip pocket, patch and cell phone pockets. Even the bottom of this bag gets special treatment with patent leather and protective metal feet. As skull bags go, this one isn't too bad. $990.

Thomas Wylde Sacrifice Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I know this look is not for everybody, and even a crystal-encrusted skull can be kind of scary looking, but I am just a tiny bit attracted to this bag. Look past the dead head on the leather flap and the bag is a riot of pleasing, shaggy softness. Made from distressed Mongolian lamb, it has an intentional worn look that adds even more character to a bag that wasn't short on character to begin with. The chain and leather strap is nice, but beware - the interior not only sports zip and patch pockets, but skull lining as well. $3,000.
