Maloles is a fairly new contemporary brand. The Anastasia Handbag is a little odd for my liking, and the Lucite handles aren’t very functional for the girl on the go. The combination of metallic and soft coral in interesting, but ultimately not very versatile. There’s a removable shoulder strap, allowing you to wear the purse messenger style or on the shoulder, and six metal buttons on either side of the bag add a bit of the utilitarian look to this ...
Clean, stark, minimal - and somehow still glamorous. That’s the beauty of what Marc Jacobs can do, evidenced perfectly on his Bev Patchwork Flat Bag. There aren’t too many places you couldn’t get away with carrying this petite purse. It’s chic with its golden chain strap and demure patchwork leather, and that’s really all it needs to make a quiet statement of its own. Detach the strap if you’ve got a party on the agenda and need a ...
You can never go wrong with classic Chanel. The always-reliable couturiers strike gold, yet again, with this luscious Large Lambskin Tote. As touchable and supple as a bag can get, this neutral-hued carryall is totally practical. You can forget about tossing your stuff in a ratty bag as you rush out the door - this goes-with-everything, holds-it-all bag is also impeccably stylish, so even if you look a bit of a mess, your bag will salvage the situation. ...
With its lush navy velvet material and exotic gold snake detail, this Roberto Cavalli Velvet Snake Wrap Clutch (with detachable gold chain strap) is definitely not going to get a lot of use, but there is something bewitching about it which makes it enticing for the odd party. You’ll stand out with this eccentric but glamorous creation, thanks to its gold leather piping and, of course, the bejeweled snake that adorns the purse; even the velvet claims attention with ...
It looks simple at first glance, but Christian Louboutin’s Satin Clutch is no wallflower. This elegant purse is constructed of smooth, sultry satin that’s twisted decadently in the center. The result is a delicate swirl that acts as a focal point for the purse’s flap and transforms it from basic to bold. You can’t go wrong with this - it’s beautiful paired with any fancy dress ensemble, and it will easily be something you’ll use for years. Available ...
Chloe does casual so well. This is about as laid-back as the luxury brand gets! Their Combination Logo Purse teams gleaming leather with cotton, a surprisingly chic duo that work well together. Though the leather is bold, the bag is overall quite unassuming and simple, making it an ideal choice for casual errand runs or the office. It’s roomy and practical, but there’s nothing ordinary about this handbag; it all but ensures that you’ll never carry just any old ...
If Burberry is purposely trying to blend in with the crowd, they’ve done a great job here. The new Quilted Mini Bag is a petite, swingy little thing that will barely hold a woman’s most basic essentials (and these days, that’s just about everything and the kitchen sink). Even if you’re a light packer, you won’t find much use for this. It’s got a bland feel made abysmally worse by the yawn-worthy nylon material. And quilted - again? I’m ...
It’s not everyday that a fabric bag boasts the kind of appeal that this new Gucci exudes. The Aviatrix Large Boston is an eye-catching carryall awash in a black and white diamond print and accented by black leather trim. As an everyday bag, this is a perfect choice - it’s suitable for year-round use, it pairs well with everything from professional to casual wear and it’s bound to last you a lifetime. The hint of gold is flashy but not ...
Hot as its color might be, there’s nothing really special about the Balenciaga Bolt Trim Purse. The ultra-boxy shape is a little too plain for me, a feature not even the slightly textured bottom can rescue. A small zippered pocket, accented by a B logo emblem, sits on the front. It’s not enough detail to give this handbag the oomph it so desperately needs. What does this prove? Even Balenciaga can’t get it right every time. Available for $1490 ...
Metallics and linen? Not exactly a match made in handbag heaven. Rafe has the right idea with the Bosworth Metallic Linen Bag, but the execution is just off the mark. The pearlized natural linen is surprisingly elegant, a contrast to forceful leathers and brazen wildlife prints, but the silver metallic trim really throws things off track. It’s not so much the color - although a different shade would definitely have been more appropriate - as it is the gleaming leather, ...
Just call it summer love. Now is the perfect time to carry this Kate Spade Solola Stevie Satchel. Bright and cheery, it exudes massive appeal with its red embroidery on white canvas. This is a shape you can’t go wrong with - it’s a little bit different, it’s roomy but not enormous and it’s ideal for everyday purposes. The sides are decorated with contrasting tan drawstrings, a small detail that doesn’t take away from the bold print. It’s too ...
I’ll gladly heap loads of praise upon the Bay and Paddington, but the newest Chloe on the block doesn’t excite me at all. The Audra Handbag is a bit out of sorts, pairing a lax shape with too many inexplicable details. The shoulder strap, for example, is studded with taupe-colored leather patches. A strip of mocha fabric lines the zip closure, creating a clashy mess of colors. I do love the bright green patent leather, but it’s not a very ...
