Jimmy Choo Foldover Calfskin Clutch





It’s all about hand-held bags. They may life easy, keep those arms and shoulders from hurting, and can be flung on the wrist like an over-sized dangling bracelet. I often travel with my Louis Vuitton Wapity which is a godsend. For a funky over sized clutch, the Jimmy Choo Foldover Calfskin Clutch is the perfect mix of shiny leather goodness and stylish gold tone hardware bling. The bigger the clutch the more that can be held, which is always a plus (dimensions are 9½”H X 13″L X 2″W). There is ample store room, including an outside zip pocket, interior zip pocket, and interior card pockets along with a wrist strap and suede lining. I’ve got an itch for this bag; playful, young, rocker, practical, and or sale through Saks for $1250.

The most beautiful briefcase ever?

This Bottega Veneta just might be it.


I’m not the kind of person who’s prone to inappropriate effusiveness or quick superlatives, but I’m not sure what other way to approach the Bottega Veneta Uniform Cocco Lave Briefcase. Superlatives were made for this bag.

I’m not sure exactly what I could say that isn’t already clear from looking at the picture; you won’t see crocodile skin so pristine anywhere else this side of Hermes. This is the sort of bag that I would want to keep in my closet and take out every morning to lovingly admire it before work, just to remind myself of what a splendid life I lead. Bottega Veneta has priced it roughly the same as a new Volkswagon, so life would have to be splendid indeed to own one. Buy through Bottega Veneta for $25,700.

Ostrich Roberto Roma Satchel Doctors Bag

Funky and fabulous, this handbag by Roberto Roma looks like an old-fashioned doctor's bag, made with ultra-modern light brown ostrich skin. The bag has a hinged leather-padded handle on top and leather strap-over clasp, with a metal hinged top. Inside is a single zipped pocket and a very roomy main compartment lined with ultra suede.

Versace

If there is an accessory you want to accentuate show it the way all the other things look dull and unnoticeable. Have no idea how to do it? Then look at Versace Spring/ Summer 2011 accessory campaign with January Jones. The Mad Men actress appears totally nude at the adverts but she does keep her modesty with the help of Versace handbags.

Coco Cocoon Bags ad campaign


Gorgeous Vanesssa Paradis has been invited by Karl Lagerfeld to front Coco Cocoon Bags ad campaign instead of Lily Allen.









The French singer, actress and model looks wonderful on the black-and-white photos. Fully dressed in chic Chanel clothing the star shows us how great the Coco Cocoon bags are – stylish, classic and roomy, just right for all the things a modern woman needs to always have with her.

Prada Glace Folding Soft Briefcase


Some bags I featured I grew to regret, while some others slipped away and I am kicking myself for not getting them when I could. This one I quite like, I am just put off by its price tag. The Prada Glace Folding Soft Briefcase is all leather, which looks like a cross between a doctor’s bag and one of those English book satchels. Measuring 15″ by 12″, you can even adjust the front buckles to extend the bag further. I also think the push-lock closure in front is a nice touch, I am just not sure about the SGD3500 price tag.

Loewe Heritage Collection

That’s dishy Spanish bull-fighter Cayetano Rivera with the new Loewe Heritage Tote which has just made its debut in Singapore.



This roomy all-leather tote is from the Loewe Mens Heritage collection, which consists of 4 different pieces.



The Loewe man is suave and sophisticated, and one who never encounters any bad hair day. Going through the Fall-Winter 2010 Mens Loewe look book, each and every ensemble is sharp, be it for work or play.
