Marc Jacobs Casey Quilted Bag

Marc Jacobs Casey Quilted Bag
Marc Jacobs always makes beautiful handbags from season to season, and for the 2009 Resort collection he did not disappoint. One of the handbags in the Marc Jacobs 2009 Resort Collection is the Casey Quilted Bag and I love it so much! I’m probably drooling over this handbag because it comes in Fuchsia, I pretty much love any handbag that comes in pink, but the black is also fabulous too. My absolute favorite part of this bag is the leather belt that wraps around the back to the front of the handbag. To me the belt is what can make this handbag pop out in a crowd. It’s not everyday that you see a belt wrapped around a handbag, and the belt gives the handbag that extra pinch of fabulous-ness. The push lock on the bottom of the bag in Nordstrom’s words, “Provides a touch of charming whimsy” and I couldn’t agree more. I think it’s super cute and definitely ads a little bit of cuteness to the bag. Another added bonus to the handbag is that it is actually quite roomy. The Casey Quilted Bag has a width of 15 1/2 inches and a height of 15 inches, pretty roomy for a handbag but would we expect anything less for a high-priced handbag?

The Marc Jacobs Quilted Bag is priced at $1,295 which is pretty normal for a Marc Jacobs handbag. Although, with goatskin leather and the handbag being made in Italy, the price comes as no shock. My favorite is the Fuchsia, but the black is also very tempting. Beautiful, but expensive.

Chloe Oversized Leather Tote

October 6, 2008

Chloe Oversized Leather Tote
Ugh… Chloe has failed to impress me this time. I apologize to any fans of this piece, but I must vent a little. In general, I love Chloe! I admire they’re pieces and look forward to their newbie’s each season. But seriously, who at Chloe Headquarters was so bored, that their ingenious idea was to design this bold blue tote? Soft lambskin leather is the material of choice and props to the weekender size since I love big bags, but where is the kick and the “awe”??! The application of silver hardware was a smart move since gold details would have done wrong to this piece. As for the hue, it’s great. I can see how the color itself might attract Bagista’s, but I’m boring and would rather stick to a neutral instead. A disappointing $1,790 is the big-ticket price for this piece and if you really seek to stock up on one unique bag for fall, this Chloe might just be it. Just imagine that electric blue reflecting off your dark articles of clothing, or not. What do you gals think about this piece? What about bold electric blue for fall, yay or nay?

3.1 Phillip Lim Erego Clutch

October 5, 2008

3.1 Phillip Lim Erego Clutch
What little girl didn’t fantasize about her very own pony? Mine would have been a chestnut brown one with a white strip down his face. And, of course, I would have rode him every day. As a grown up though, we tend to fantasize about owning other things — like handbags. So instead of a pony, how about a pony (calf) hair handbag? I, personally, have mixed feelings about pony hair handbags. If done right, it can actually look pretty cool. But if it’s not done right, then it can be a total fashion disaster. So how about this 3.1 Phillip Lim Erego Clutch? It consists of Camel calf hair and Black leather trim. I actually find the color combo very interesting, although I don’t know if I could actually pull it off. I also like the hardware, I think it adds a really cool antique-ish touch. However, I don’t think that this little clutch is worth what it says on its price tag. Maybe this is one of those bags that needs to go on sale first before I would consider buying it.

The 3.1 Phillip Lim Erego Clutch is available in Camel/Black. It is a little smaller in size, measuring 10″ x 7″ x 2″. It has a zip-top closure and two interior pockets. Find it for $451 over at Pink Mascara.

Betsey Johnson Lips Wristlet

October 5, 2008
post written by Bag Bliss blogger: bRs

Betsey Johnson Lips Wristlet
How would you like a great, big ol’ smooch? Introducing the Betsey Johnson Lips Wristlet. It is a metallic leather wristlet shaped like a big pair of lips. To be honest, when I first laid my eyes on this wristlet, I busted out laughing. Betsey Johnson is known for her wild, weird, and just plain over-the-top designs. But, come on, a pair of lips? Who would seriously want to carry this around? I can safely say I wouldn’t. But there just might be some hope yet for this little wristlet. What if it wasn’t used as a wristlet, but as a little makeup bag instead? I think it could be pretty cute if used in this manner, especially for a younger person (a much younger person). Plus I doubt anybody could miss a giant pair of lips inside their handbag, so at least it would be easy to spot when you’re looking for your lip gloss.

The Betsey Johnson Lips Wristlet measures 6″ x 3″ x 2″ and it comes with a detachable wrist strap. It is available in Metallic Red with gunmetal hardware. It retails for $78, which I feel is a bit much for a novelty wristlet, err… makeup bag.

Find it at shopbop.com.

Badgley Mischka Bianca Metallic Satchel

Badgley Mischka Bianca Metallic Satchel
The Badgley Mischka Bianca Satchel is back for Fall. And the good news? It is available in metallics! I’m sure I have said this before, but I am going to say it again. Metallics will never go out of style. They are just way to gorgeous to be anything other than a classic. And I must say, the metallic colors look quite lovely on the Bianca Satchel. The bag has such a simple style to it. It is round, gathered, and somewhat unstructured. So I think it is very interesting to see this type of bag in such a glitzy color. It’s like you’re getting the best of both worlds, having your cake and eating it too, etc etc. Is there anything I dislike about this bag? Not really. I suppose I would have preferred that the metallic leather was a little more shiny and a little less pebbled. But I suppose, even our wildest dreams can’t always be perfect.

The Badgley Mischka Bianca Metallic Satchel measures 19″ x 10″ x 4″ and the double handles have a 5.5″ drop. It is available in Sapphire (pictured… and my absolute most favorite!) and Bronze. The bag also features gunmetal hardware, which I think compliments the Sapphire color nicely. It retails for $495.

Dooney & Bourke Large Multi DB Bag

October 4, 2008
post written by Bag Bliss blogger: Deysa

Dooney & Bourke Large Multi DB
Remember Dooney & Bourke’s “It” collection, you know, the one with the multihued miniature “DB” logo which made its debut months after Takashi Murakami’s infamous Multicolore line for the French luxury brand Louis Vuitton? OK… the long question with excess information was unnecessary; as I’m pretty sure you gals know what I’m talking about. Whether you owned an “It” piece or if you despised the line from the beginning, you must admit, they were pretty darn popular for quite some time. As you can see, the All-American brand is not done yet, as they’ve released yet another rainbow logo line, meet the Large Multi DB. I can’t claim to hate it, as I myself own other logoed designer pieces, but Dooney has got one really boring design going on here. The font, the repetitive hues, and the way the DB’s overlap is pretty much tacky, there is just no way I can like this design. Ladies, what’s your imput? If you dig this line, you can find a wide range of handbag silhouettes to fit your taste with prices ranging from the $100-$200+, pick your price! Or as I’ll suggest, just wait until they hit the sales rack.

Yves Saint Laurent Muse Two Bag

October 3, 2008

Yves Saint Laurent Muse Two Bag
Ahh… ladies, I think I’m in love! I must confess to you Bagista’s that I was never really fond of Yves Saint Laurent’s Muse bags (don’t hate me for that), but I will say that I feel the total opposite towards YSL’s Muse Two. The original Muse although it’s a beautiful bag, was a bit too domed-shaped for my taste. I recently got the chance to “play-around” with this beauty and since then, it’s officially on my wish list. I love its sleek and elegant look, yet it still looked great with my jeans and tee shirt. A collaboration of patent leather and embossed suede line this couture piece, while golden hardware adds the perfect compliment to its dark image. It’s roomy (and gorgeous) interior allows this bag to make a great everyday accessory, while its Noir hue makes it perfect for the upcoming season or better yet, year round! Obviously, this beauty does come with one hefty price tag of $1,895, but definitely worth every penny. Unfortunately, with my student budget, I can only add this bag to my wish list. Ladies, what’s your imput towards YSL’s Muse bags? Do you like the original Muse or the Muse Two better?
