Filed under: Handbags

Elezar Vivi ToteIf you haven't heard of Elezar yet, we're not going to scold you -- but we are going to fix the problem.

We don't know how they've stayed so under-the-radar with a list of celebrity fans that includes:
  • Kristen Bell
  • Mischa Barton
  • Hillary Duff
  • Fergie
  • Demi Moore
  • Natalie Portman
  • Marissa Tomei
  • Naomi Watts
  • Rachel Bilson
We love the inventive, stylish design of this tote bag, especially the basket-weave at the base, The Vivi Tote. It features two external open pockets, 1 internal zip pocket, a removeable strap, two Internal open pockets and comes in at 13.5'W x 14'H. The softly shaped, elegant Italian bag is totally vegan and biodegradable.

Elezar's designers are childhood friends Esther Barron and Julie Lazarus, and they have stores all over the country. The Vivi Tote retails online at $408.

Thanks, Lora Chio, for the tip about Elezar!

Kasia Slouch Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


A good standard for everyday use, the Kasia Slouch Tote by Pringle of Scotland is all one color (in this case black) but it has a variety of different patterns, textures, and tones to create a bag that is anything but plain. The front and back are decorated with three stripes of knot and fold detailing, and the top closes with a button and tassel drawstring. It's roomy and fully lined inside, with plenty of pockets and compartments in different sizes, has double handles, and is just an all-around versatile and useful looking bag. $2500

Julie Feldman's Hornback Weekender, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

I love the feel of a new bag and when it comes to handbags I have a tendency to find one I like and carry it every day until it wears out, but tote bags... well that's another story altogether. I'm a little overrun with totes in all shapes, sizes, and colors, so I guess it's no surprise that I like this set of Hornback Weekender totes by designer Julie Feldman. It's full of pockets, including 3 interior pockets (one of them zippered) plus a large zippered center-divider pocket big enough for a laptop, and then the outside front pocket. Bags are made of hornback calf suede with alligator stamping and feature a fun print lining. 16" x 9" x 22", $595.

Dossier Artist Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Dossier
, the bi-annual arts and culture mag, has corralled some of its favorite artists, musicians and stylists (including Zac Posen and Fanny Bostrom) to hand-craft 150 limited edition totes. The bags make use of a variety of techniques: woodblock prints, quilting, collage and photo transfers. Each piece is signed by the artist, and the bags are available through Dossier's site (note you will only know what bag you're getting once you place your order). You can also snag one while the snagging's good at Manhattan's I Heart, at 262 Mott Street. Each retails for just $25 so you best order quickly.
