Foley and Corinna Mongolian lamb hobo

It looks like a mop without the handle but it is actually a hobo by Foley & Corinna that is made of Mongolian lamb fur.  It's kinda creepy but if you are a fan of fur, this is just too easy to love.  You can have this at Cusp for $495.

Alexander McQueen knuckle box clutch


I have seen the gold version of this clutch on Sarah Jessica Parker during the photo call of Sex and the City 2 in Tokyo, while Gwyneth Platrow tote the black one during Diane Von Furstenberg and Claridge's launch party in London.  This knuckle box clutch by Alexander McQueen is double purpose--as a clutch and false rings.  The false rings provide a no-slip grip to this expensive clutch.  This sells for $1,495 to $1,920.

Christian Louboutin 'Palais Royal' clutch

At first I thought this clutch is by Alexander McQueen... no offense.  Well, this 'Palais Royal' clutch is by Christian Louboutin, hence the title of this entry.  It is made of satin with lace overlay, it opens with shoe clasp with the designer's signature red sole.  This can be used as a clutch or you can attach the chain link to use it as a handbag.  This is available at Net-A-Porter for $2,565.

Prada ivory canvas geometric pattern tote bags



These geometric pattern bags from Prada are really cute.  The blue one has a nautical feel while the green one reminds me of the 70s.  I remember seeing this pattern and color combination in one of my grandmother's living room decor.  These bags are available at Bluefly for $448.

Celine tan goatskin with stripe detail shoulder bag

This Celine goatskin shoulder bag looks really simple.  It is its sheer simplicity that caught my attention.  The longer I look at it, the more I like it.  It kind of reminds me of Leowe's anti-it handbags that look like paper bags.  You can get this bag at Bluefly for $1,140.

Alaia leopard-print calf hair tote



Can you handle animal prints?  This Alaia leopard print tote is so luxurious and so... expensive.  This costs $4,295 at Net-A-Porter.  It has a leather top handle, two major compartments  with tabs at sides to keep your must-haves and a detachable mirror for easy touch ups.  The interior is lined with pink leather.

Marc Jacobs 'Duffy' tote

I could not remember when I first saw this bag but seeing this again interests me.  I think Marc Jacobs started the bag on bag design.  In this particular bag, a huge purse is attached outside a huge tote.  It creates an illusion of bringing two bags.  What do you think of this style?  Click on the image to see more of its features.

New York & Company 'City Safari' hobo

This hobo by New York & Company is only $36.95.  If you are feeling Safari or cazh, this bag is just perfect.  Aside from the fact that this costs a little over $30, the color is great to match with your everyday get up. 

Lanvin quilted ouloulette bag

This tickles me.  I think the feathers are not necessary on this shoulder bag.  I also think that if Lanvin opted to remove the feathers, this would look just like any ordinary quilted bag with chain straps (Chanel?).  Let us just remain amazed at its opulence and stash $1,185 at Kirna Zebete if you are sure that your name is engraved on this bag.

Judith Leiber 'Kyoto Pagoda' clutch

I think this looks more like a house decor than a clutch.  I admire Judith Leiber for experimenting with clutch shapes and sizes but I think this is better as a show piece than bringing in special events with your gorgeous evening dress.  This pagoda clutch is fully covered with crystals.  You can check this out at Neiman Marcus and this sells for $6,795.00.

Prada canvas geometric print tote


I love the vibe of this bag.  It has a vintage feel to it, it reminds me of Twiggy and Velma.  I think I will wear this with a black shift dress, opaque thighs, booties or boots, leather gloves and coat.  You can have this at Bluefly for $448.

Fendi Zucca-print canvas wallet


My grandmother gave me this Fendi Zucca-print wallet when I was in 2nd year college.  I really like it because it is big enough to keep my allowance, some photos, cards and important receipts neatly in place.  My days with this wallet did not last, though.  I went to the library to check-out some books and accidentally left it somewhere between shelves.  I tried to look for it but all my efforts proved futile. 

This is available at Net-A-Porter for $490.

Tiffany & Co. 'Manhattan' croc satchel

Very luxurious!  This croc satchel by Tiffany & Co. costs a whopping $17,500.  This African made crocodile leather bag has a gold plated brass turn lock closure, leather lining, three small inner compartments, and double handle that is also made of croc leather.

Rebecca Minkoff 'Pointed Stud Cherish' tote

Studs and spikes aren't only limited to shoes, this Rebecca Minkoff tote with pointed studs is the proof.  This tote bag is classic in shape but edgier in style.  Add some flare to your office attire by lugging around with this.  For $354 at Zappos, this bag is a great deal.

Bottega Veneta 'Roma' woven leather tote

There aren't too many green bags, don't you think?  Bottega Veneta is an Italian leather goods brand that has been in the industry for many decades.  Each of their bags are carefully handmade by expert artisans so you are sure that each piece is made with love and hardwork.  This Roma woven leather tote has two adjustable handles, golden buckle closure that comes with a cute little key.  There are three separate compartments inside to organize your things.  You can have this for $3,080 at Net-A-Porter.

Versace ring-detailed shoulder bag

This ring-detailed shoulder bag by Versace has a shoe version that I have featured in my shoe blog.  It is also in the same yummy purple as this bag.  This bag is made of leather and suede, golden rings and chains.  This is perfect for your night out with the girls or a date with a special someone.  You can have this bag for $1,995 at Net-A-Porter.
