Alright, help me out folks, it is time to weigh in on a bag that I just can’t seem to wrap my head around. I found myself totally and utterly confused when I came across the Bulga Hamilton Studded Leather Flap Tote. There are aspects I can appreciate and then others that I think totally miss the mark.
Sometimes, and Idea is just too complicated to be rendered in real life. There are too many elements, too many things happening at once, and too much opportunity for discord to bring every idea to fruition.
However, it appears that that didn’t stop the folks at Jerome Dreyfuss when they designed the Jerome Dreyfuss Luciene Suede Fringe Bag. Suede, leopard print, detachable fringe, zip-off pockets, magenta for contrast? It’s all here!
I have a love-hate relationship with bags that have hard shoulder straps. Plastic, Lucite, wood, bamboo, whatever – I think they look great. They provide a great textural and visual contrast with a bag that’s made of soft leather, and they show a bit of creativity without being over-designed.
So, that’s the love part. What I hate is how they feel to carry for an extended period of time, and I can’t help but think that the Rebecca Minkoff Resin-Handled Nikki Hobo is going to fall into that trap.
Ooh, Botkier just said The Magic Word. Lambskin.
There are few things I love more. Using lambskin to make a big, black bag with some small, well-edited industrial details is one of the fastest ways to my heart.
And at a reasonable price? For a bag I’d carry every day? Just show me where I sign up.
There is a definite crispness in the air today and I love it. Growing up in South Florida, I didn’t have much use for winter coats, but when I moved up north I became instantly fixated on coats. More specifically, I remember walking into J. Crew one day and falling in love with a gorgeous cream colored knee length coat. I wanted it, I needed it, but as a college student, I just couldn’t afford it. As much as I loved that coat, I loved the slightly darker cream colored handbag it was paired with. Ever since this encounter, I’ve been hoping to snag that same look for myself.
Lately, in my mind, Treesje can do no wrong. They use nice leather, their bags are functional yet stylish, they’re priced reasonably and they made a line of swoon-worthy skull bags that turned me into a life-long fan, no matter what.
My latest Treesje obsession? The Treesje Divino Grande Satchel.
Megs had mentioned yesterday that she got caught up on Shopbop shopping for quite a while. Well, with all the new fall bags, I am not surprised at all. In fact, I’ve been memorized with all the wonderful bags to choose from. One bag that I simply can’t get over is the Rebecca Minkoff Mini Nikki Bag with Resin Handle. The Nikki Bag is nothing new to us here on Purse Blog, but it is great to see a different take on this classic.
I’m not sure where the folks at Gryson manage to find such beautifully textured, interesting leather, but they really should share their resources with others.
I know, I know. That’s a lot to ask of a brand when they’ve got so many other folks against which to compete. But really, leather as show-stopping and finely tanned as that on the Gryson Ariel Satchel is something more people should be using. It’d be unfair for them to keep it to themselves.
Sometimes, it’s amazing what a little tweak will do for a bag. I’ve been a fan of the Rebecca Minkoff Devote Tote for a quite a while, but when the studded version came out, I couldn’t look at the plain one the same way again. It just seemed like it was missing something, even though the studs would be overpowering for some occasions.
As it turns out, what it was missing was zippers. Behold: the Rebecca Minkoff Zip Devote Tote.
More often than not, the names that designers give their bags make sense. Sometimes it’s a woman’s name, sometimes it’s a descriptive name, but it’s usually pretty obvious where they come from.
But I can’t quite figure out why the Gryson Painted Violet Bag is advertised as such – does it look painted to you? I’m having a hard time seeing any special effect at all. If I’m missing something, please enlighten me.
