L.A.M.B.

Not only has the L.A.M.B. Etoile Hobo been carried on Gossip Girl recently, but it’s also been seen on the arm of L.A.M.B. founder Gwen Stefani for months on end now. As such, we’re pleased to inform you that several color combinations have finally hit stores as part of the brand’s Holiday 2010 collection.

This bag has probably been more highly anticipated than any other in the young brand’s handbag history, and with good reason – it neatly refines L.A.M.B.’s sometimes erratic point of view into something that is totally wearable while still being edgy and different from the average black hobo.

As of late, L.A.M.B. handbags have me guessing. There have been so many different handbags out there that I no longer know what to expect when I see one. At the beginning, like most of you, I was sure to identify a L.A.M.B. handbag from across the room. Yet, now, it is as if the design team is comfortable and willing to push themselves outside of their comfort zones. Thank goodness. While this isn’t the kind of bag that jumps out and screams, “Buy me now, Shannon”, it is intriguing.

Could the L.A.M.B. Briolette Clutch be one of the first bags that we’re seeing from the much-anticipated L.A.M.B. Holiday 2010 collection?

If it is, I’ve got to say that I’m simultaneously both excited and a little disappointed. Let’s take a closer look at why, after the jump.

Oh, well, this is very interesting, now isn’t it?

L.A.M.B. bags are often a love-it-or-hate-it proposition, but some of the stuff I’ve seen from them in the past few weeks makes it seem like they’re really starting to get a toehold on their design aesthetic. First, we’ve been talking about one of their much-anticipated Holiday 2010 bags over on BagThatStyle recently, and now we have the L.A.M.B. Charlemagne Hobo that is newly available from ShopBop.

I’m not sure if this bag is from Fall/Winter or Holiday, but I am sure that it’s probably the most appealing L.A.M.B. bag that I’ve ever seen. One can only hope that they continue to soldier bravely on in this direction.

Just when I was beginning to love L.A.M.B, I come across this wallet. What is going on here? It is a hot mess.

I never know how I’m going to feel about a new L.A.M.B. bag. Their aesthetic is so unique that it becomes very easy for one of their bags to take things a bit too far, particularly when it comes to their prints, of which I have never been a big fan. In fact, I think the L.A.M.B. Williamsfield Tote is the first of their printed bags that I’ve liked.

I’ve been loving zip-around wallets every since Megs bought my mom a Fendi one and later got herself a Louis Vuitton. I love how these kind of wallets practically double as a clutch. With cell phones being so tiny and skinny these days, there’s a good chance that you can even zip your cell into the wallet as well. I love seeing yet another option for this great style of wallet.

A good rule of thumb for handbags is that the smaller the bag is, the more interesting things can be done with it. Design ideas that would look ridiculous and over-the-top on a large shoulder bag are rendered funky and fun in a smaller proportion, and if there was ever a great way to work some personality into your outfit, a great clutch is the way to do it.

With that in mind, I present the L.A.M.B. Deco Fisher Gilded Clutch.

I am loving this new L.A.M.B. bag. I would like to first give a shout-out to my people over at Shopbop for continuing to offer some unbelievable bags at great prices.

Next, I’d like to thank Gwen Stefani and her design team for stepping away from the logo-crazy handbags and stepping towards less flashy and more accessible day-to-day bags.

Yes, I am gearing up for the award show season and I just can’t help myself from writing as if I was preparing my own speech, for say, an Oscar?

I see what L.A.M.B. was trying to do here, I think. I’d say they only got about halfway there, but at least they appear to have tried to go somewhere with it. I’d rather a designer have a vision and poorly execute it than have no vision at all.

And I think that that’s the central problem with the L.A.M.B. Mixed Media Satchel – it has a dream, but the end result does not live up to it.
