Who says black is boring? It’s also slimming, and that comes in handy when you’ve got a bun in the oven like the always gorgeous Halle Berry. Besides, Halle’s Tod’s Luna Nylon Media bag adds enough edge to her all-black outfit to keep things interesting. This modern handbag features gold chain details on the straps and a cool gold zipper along the bottom, plus three zippered compartments on the front. It’s edgy and hip, and just right for a ...

I was never a huge fan of the Marc Jacobs Venetia handbag until I saw it on a fabulous gal in the Atlanta airport. She was wearing a simple black headband, black turtleneck, Seven jeans, and boots, and had the great bag swinging from her elbow as she waltzed through the busy airport last holiday season. Never had I seen the Venetia look so incredibly hip and effortless. I’d always thought of it as a grown-up bag, making me think ...
If you’re the “hey world, look at me” type, you’ll probably love toting this around on your travels. Gucci’s Diamond Travel Tote is all dressed up in elegant woven fabric and a smart leather crest - and the brand’s logo script scrawled across the front. Though it’s exterior is rather showy (at least the colors are neutral), the interior is all business: Laden with compartments to keep small items in place, it also has enough space to make traveling a ...
I’ve trashed every other version of this bag, but I’m going to grudgingly admit that the Fendi Convertible Python Bag isn’t actually as bad as the others. The bold black and orange color combination is killer, and it’s hard to resist that if you’re a fan of intense, attention-grabbing hues. What makes this purse unappealing in a general sense is the little panel that the handle attaches to - it’s so unnecessary that it seems to ruin the design. ...
Proving they’re normal just like the rest of us, Bottega Veneta stumbles and falls with this bummer of a bag. The ho-hum Cotton Canvas Shoulder Bag isn’t really meant to turn heads - it’s just an everyday carryall, after all, and it bears none of the trademark elements that make Bottega Veneta’s other handbags so striking. This bag forgoes woven leather in favor of a clean canvas silhouette and a strong dose of practical functionality. Nothing wrong with either ...
If you want to conceal your baby bump, a white Valentino Pintucked Shopper is a very chic way to go. Nicole Richie showed her handbag off while dodging the paparazzi, and the bag is by far the most stylish part of her wardrobe (brush your hair, girl!). Now that Valentino’s retiring, it’s nice to see his creations getting some love from celebs like Nicole (Katherine Heigl and Victoria Beckham also have the purse in red). Now if ...
You’d think that Victoria Beckham would have impeccable taste in all accessories. This is the woman, after all, who never leaves the house without a Hermes Birkin purse on her arm. (The black leather with gold hardware Birkin she has here is incredibly chic and classic.) Unfortunately, Hermes doesn’t make hats. Victoria has totally ruined whatever designer cache her Hermes handbag provided by pairing it with this silly Hitler-esque headgear. It’s bad taste on so many levels. On the ...
This Y-3 messenger bag is a real winner. First of all, it would look great on a guy or a gal, and the long strap is perfect for tooling around the city. Y-3 uses great leathers that are seriously soft and durable (Y-3 shoes are great too), and are always used to make great unisex, hip bags. Best of all, this messenger can go sporty in a pinch. Drape it over yourself when you’re doing errands in your workout gear ...
Oh, that Pierre Hardy. Does he have a way with designing or what? From his amazing shoes to his incredibly hard-to-find handbags, the designer was recently tapped by the flailing Gap to create a capsule collection of shoes for them. If you can’t wait for that, you can land this great bag right now.
The Bag 2 Boston bag is great for the girl on-the-go. The handles are soft and comfy for carrying in the crook of your elbow or on ...
It starts with those black trousers you can’t live without. Then come the selection of various tanks, blouses and sweaters in neutrals you simply must have. The result? A wardrobe in desperate need of color. A girl only needs one thing to perk it up: the perfect Miu Miu Spongy Leather Rounded Tote. First of all, spongy leather? Perfection - it’s as unusual and soft to the touch as you imagine it to be. The color? A vibrant fuchsia that ...
The Fendi Baguette is one of the original It bags. In the late ’90s the bag got a big promo in every fashionista’s favorite television show, Sex and the City. The infamous Carrie Bradshaw and company toted the Baguette every waking chance they go, and Carrie’s own closet boasted several, which she would tote to meetings, lunches, and beyond.
This year Fendi pays homage to their first It bag with the 10th anniversary edition. Boasting the hefty $6,670 price tag, and ...
In yet another case of too much going on, Chloe’s Paddington Square Shoulder Bag overwhelms even the most attentive handbag fiend with its detail-laden exterior. There’s nothing wrong with a few fun elements to really spice things up, but they’re less attractive on bulky, extra spacious bags like this one. That said, it wouldn’t be a Paddington without the lock, key and tassels, would it? The shape is a bit unusual and possibly cumbersome, depending on what you’re wearing ...
Here’s something to hold you “Sex and the City” fans over until the SITC movie hits the big screen: Sarah Jessica Parker rocking a very cool urban-chic look and one to-die-for Balenciaga Mini Matelasse Purse in quilted black leather. Some might see this look as a little messy, but I think our girl SJP looks fab - the turquoise Louboutins, leopard-print scarf, Balenciaga handbag, and bold blue top present a hip hodgepodge of city style. Can’t wait ...
All together now, ladies: Fendi, what the hell is this? Achieving what might have once seemed impossible, Fendi has finally crossed over to the very darkest of dark sides. Forget the heinousness of the Fendi to You purses; they have nothing on this Sequin and Wool Embellished Tote. Words are just about to fail me, but let’s see if I can sputter out a few keywords: Cheapo-looking disc details, bird feather-like fringed wool trim, ugly, $7190. I know what ...
