Designer Ella's stories:
You’ve got to love that Paris Hilton loves the paparazzi’s attention. “Why on Earth must we love that, Elle?” – you ask? Why, because this gives her designer freebies, like Chanel bags. Alright, alright, it’s plenty of reason for us bag desirers to hate Paris.
BUT here is Ms. Hilton perfectly posing to show us a great, clear shot of an amazingly gorgeous Chanel bag. And you know what – I believe that’s reason to love the egotist in the socialite.
So thanks Paris! Ahh to be born into wealth and fame … sigh.
As you can see from the mini photo inside the large, the bag’s not really a clutch, but a flap with the strap removed. That is a great idea! Imagine, a jumbo sized Chanel flap could be … a day clutch! Faaabulous! *Dreams off into Elle’s happy place*

We’re working on some new content, and one thing we can introduce now will help us, too. Vote in our IT Bag 2007 Poll. You should be the ones to decide anyway, shouldn’t you?
What’s the IT Bag of 2007?
You missed it but that was my best carnival booth man. Bluefly has another giveaway going on with a tease of a game, in which we always lose miserably trying to score an IT bag. I know websites can’t give things away based on actual talent or merit, but at least make the game fun. Every time I throw that dart, it just *ploops* to the ground. Jeez, I know I used to do pretty well in the real thing as a child! Ugh, it’s so disheartening that it’s honestly more enjoyable to save for, work for or sell bags to fund the real life Stam I plan to finally get. (Now that’s excitement.) At least I get to choose my colour!
But you know you have to give it a shot. It’s like the lottery, and yet somehow still less fun than throwing your dollars away—oh no that goes to fund necessary state things like road repair. See, the lottery, now that’s a game. Sure it’s depressing sometimes, but it does good in the end. Now if they just made taxes (coming up!) fun like a lottery. There’s an idea!
P.S. Is there a chance the designer bag you win could be fake? Voice in here or at our Know Authentics forum!
The Forum is back up, but moved. It’s now a part of a slowly-building fashion forum for the entire fashion network (because this software costs a pretty penny, so I’d rather just pay for one!).
The Know Authentics forums are here.
And the general Purse-d Lips Bag Gab is one-level up, here.
I thank you in advance for visiting!
Chloé Debbie bags‘ main feature is a large zipper, much like the Bay, but the actual zipper pull closely resembles that from the Edith (last year’s IT bag). An equally large feature, yet less prominently unique, is its clip flap closure. (That’s also similar to the Edith’s buckle flap closure.) The bags all also boast a contrast-colored stripe on the flaps.
Styles on Neiman Marcus .com consist of (1) a shoulder flap satchel with double front zipper pockets, (2) an east/west shoulder tote sans pockets and (3) a divine looking north south hobo with double front pockets (best of them ALL in cream).
Colors are brown, tan, cream and yellow. Prices from $1,120 to $1,130; not bad.
Shop Chloé Debbies on Neiman Marcus .com.

Fergie is going to design handbags, but for another company, Kipling, and only for two seasons.
President and CEO of VF Sportswear, Denise Seegal, was attracted to Fergie by her mass appeal and fashionista style on the red carpet. This will be the first celebrity-designed collection of many for Kipling, which actually seems like a nice little bag brand, though relatively unknown.
Stacy Ferguson (Fergie) said,
As with every project that I’m involved with, I plan to put all of my heart and creativity into this one, and I’m thrilled to work with such an amazing brand. I look forward to putting my personal touch on each and every design in my signature Kipling collections.
Fergie will not only be hands on with the designs, but she will do a lot to market the bags, including posing for ad campaigns and making personal appearances – all for the brand.
There will be two collections, one for Fall 2007 and the second for Spring 2008. Bags will hit stores (unsure which) September 1st 2007.
Now let’s hope Fergie can get past her devotion to motorcycle bags, as pictured above (a Balenciaga).
