Earlier this month, we wondered what was up with the supposedly “painted” finish on the Gryson Painted Violet Bag. Because of the bag’s dark color, it was impossible to figure out what was so different about it compared to all the dyed finishes that we’re used to seeing, and it made the bag seem kind of pointless.
With a new material and a new color however, Gryson‘s lovely painted finish makes a much different impression on the Gryson Painted Eel Olivia Bag.
Gryson couldn’t have chosen a better color to showcase the subtle variations of her painted finishes than this deep wine red. The depth of color keeps it from looking sloppy, but it’s just light enough to show the dimension and subtlety of the paint. If she had gone with a bright instead, it would probably have looked shoddily done and unfinished, but burgundy keeps things classy. Featuring eel, one of fashion’s most affordable exotics, was also a great touch. Buy through ShopBop for $995.
There’s nothing I love more than a good sale. In all my years of handbag adoration, I’ve only ever paid full price for a handbag once, and it was one that I had lusted after for a year and thought was gone forever. When I happened to find it, I couldn’t help but plunk down the MSRP, and I never regretted it.
But when you’re not looking for any bag in particular, just something to spruce up your wardrobe and complete a few outfits, sale prices are a godsend. If you find your self in that situation currently, take a look at this fabulous price on the beautiful Treesje Sebastian Bag.
We all love Treesje, and the details of the Sebastian bag are a perfect illustration of why. The pleating gives it an enormous amount of texture without being fussy or over-designed, and the winter white color will take you from late summer to the cool weather of fall seamlessly. And as I mentioned before, the sale price is the best part. It originally retailed for $635, but you can buy it through Piperlime for $379.99
My view on all-over printed bags is not the most favorable. I make an exception for Goyard, of course (well… they are hand-painted, not printed, and that is a different matter entirely), and I now make an exception for this Marc by Marc Jacobs Doodle Print Tote. Why, you ask?
Well, everyone’s pretty acquainted with the magnificent art of the doodle. But these are no children’s drawings, no, not at all. These are sophisticated doodles, doodles that were created by someone who certainly paid little to no attention in class for quite some time. The classroom is where doodles are born, people. I know this. You know this. It may even be a scientifically proven fact. But to have a tote bag covered with doodles? Pure genius.
It simply makes the tote so much more fun and whimsical than it would otherwise be. Tote bags can be quite the bore, but this one is anything but. So use it for books, groceries, old copies of W Magazine, or orchid bulbs, whatever your exclusively tote bag filler of choice. Looking at those little animals that perfectly capture the quintessence of that which is Marc by Marc Jacobs will most certainly brighten your day. Buy through Bloomingdale’s for $148.
I want a new hobo. No real reason why, I just do. That’s reason enough, isn’t it? While I wish I could simply buy just about any bag I look at, I typically try and give it a bit of thought before any purchase is made. After a bit of consideration, I have to say that I am liking what I am seeing here with this Kooba bag. Per usual, it is the sturdy yet fabulous leather that initially grabbed my attention.
Beyond the leather, I am also loving the old English brass hardware and saddle-stitched buckle accenting. All of these aspects come together for the Kooba Gabi Hobo making it an instant hit. It is also the single flat shoulder strap that adds something unique to the bag. Kooba is great at picking just a few details and working closely on them to ensure that the concept is totally flawless. Speaking of the shoulder strap, the 10″ drop means there is plenty of room for this bag on your shoulder without having it come up too close. And another great thing about this Kooba bag has to be how versatile the bag is. In this case, versatility applies to both one person and her use of the bag as well as the age spectrum that is covered. Mom and daughter alike would look great carrying it. Buy through Bloomingdale’s for $495.
Sometimes, as soon as you see a bag, you know how you feel about it. Love it or hate it, its role in your life is clear.
That’s exactly how I felt when I first laid eyes upon the Rebecca Minkoff Lovers Clutch. I knew from first site that it would easily occupy a very special place in my heart, and it has continued to impress me.
And it’s all in the statement-making dark wood handle. Combined with the little gold caps at the corners, it gives off a boho 70s feel with a decidedly modern twist, and depending on the leather color that you choose, it’s a shape that can be used day or night, winter or summer, for years to come. I think that the black looks incredibly modern and cold-weather-appropriate next to the dark brown frame. Buy through Luna Boston for $295.
Linea Pelle Dylan PurseBlog we are well on the line here familiar with, but here, for you new readers – Linea Pelle Dylan Folding Clutch is only a new color is well suited to the spring season. That, plus the fact that we have not seen much since the summer, convertible bag (a), it’s a new season, a light, refreshing and perfect bag to arrive at the inevitable conclusion.
It’s three bags in one: If you remove the strap a little more – better – a crossbody shoulder bag or clutch can wear. I crossbody, particularly because of the expected thick leather slouch washed nicely, but at some length the action could help bootstrap seems to prefer it. In addition, the really unique zipper – I do not know if it is just a bag, zipper a little work too, is an idiot, digital jagged look almost the same technology, while maintaining hardware. It is nice and bright colors of leather wrinkles and subtle contrasts.
The brightly colored beach bags for a rich tone, but not preferred, the best way, they caught my eye is possible. So what is your favorite color of school? A blue fine. Linea Pelle purchase over $ 195.
It looks as Sonia Rykeil handbag lovers seem to think too much of the Purse. Sonia Rykiel bag is always a lot going on, because you can understand this. However, I am a huge fan. Argue that it’s pretty much come to the Sonia Rykiel Dita shoulder bag was the people I love most of the others hated it. The other thing about this bag, they usually are with a big price tag. So, I came full line of Sonia Rykiel Sonia, I can not wait to see more.
Sonia by Sonia Rykiel studded canvas shoulder bag and a little touch of glam actually is quite a cute canvas bag. Soft gray cotton – canvas shoulder bag with a few silver tone pyramid studs are a little sparkle. I’m a little out of place black grosgrain ribbon think of, but to create those kind of details that did not break. You are always fun to your bag if you look at animal print lining. This canvas bag out in the market is not my favorite, but it certainly can not use a hard day. Net – - Porter with $ 365 purchase.
Once again, I really like is something about this bag. The last one is the one you write too familiar with me, I swear it’s trying to appear to be, but folks, it’s true. You absolutely love and you just can not stand bag is something else. And yet I love bags that are out there, but I might not completely there with me, the aspect that really intrigue. See by Chloe Callow there a particular aspect of a cross-body bag, I can do without, but this is a bad option for a cross body bag, not a bad option at all.
View Chloe’s line continues to impress me. No, I just missed that little or no off-line shot. This bag is a prime example. Purple pebbled leather front flap has a hook closure. As I mentioned before, is something I can do without the patch that would gather momentum in the side pocket for banding. How much use putting someone on the side pocket, do not know why bother? Against a purple leather with gold hardware glistens nicely. Of course, being a cross body bag, there’s a good one adjustable shoulder strap so you can wear it on or is the whole body. Buy through Shopbop for $ 590.
This Chloe bag, I see it as the last in line by mamee know, but I have it fully functional again very different to write about it, I feel that? Of course. Besides, if that, but I’m doing it anyway.
Even though this spring I was in college two years (eep I saw!), But my brain is still instinctively View Large Tote by Chloe Callow looks and think things like, “Ooh, that will be a great backpack, I bet there on my laptop can be fit. “Doh is. I’m not going anywhere and over (OK, so it’s a lie that would never take my laptop – sometimes I take my bubble bath in the bathroom while the old episodes of Gossip Girl, so you can see sitting on the toilet seat, but not relevant here ), sit on the couch all day with people who do something, however, that is exactly what you need can be.
When you design a warrant larger, it often loses its appeal. They were cute little things are almost too cute, not just that they no longer are in school, the size of the bag. In spite of this particular design, that does not loose its charm. It is medium in size extra large tote bag, go to the considerable vertical handles, except the size of a little anemic, it’s a nice feature that seems to be a luxury suitcase.
