The designs available for the Town & Country Collection include the Suburban Bag, the Suburban Plus Bag, the Metro Bag, the Metro Plus Bag, the Cosmo Bag, and the Cosmo Plus Bag.

Designs available for the City Bag Collection are the Portfolio Bag, the Portfolio Plus Bag, the Savvy Bag, the Savvy Plus Bag, the Chic Bag, and the Chic Plus Bag.

City Bag Collection

Henrietta's Handbags is now offering these 2 templates for only $19.95 with free shipping in the USA and Canada.

D&G Dolce&Gabbana's mustard 'Emy' bag

It's gorgeous, no? I'm not entirely sure about the colour, but the shape and the details are just beautiful. In fact, I'm yearning here.

I love it so much that I'm thinking £585.00 isn't *that* expensive, for such a lovely bag. (I know it is really. It is. Isn't it?) Get it from my-wardrobe.com.

The camera bag

Lucy Hedges writes...

The fundamental purpose of this rather tasty 14-inch bag is to transport your photo taking equipment around. I'm not talking compact digitals (they can handle being flung into the pits of your bag for transportation), no, this bag is for your big and bulky DSLR and SLR cameras

Gucci Large Tote bags

I feel bad writing bad things about Gucci. Sure, their Cruise collection…ain’t cute. To put it mildly. But I already wrote about the bag I liked least, so now I want to give them a fair shake and write about the bag I like best. I’m guessing it wasn’t the bag I was supposed to notice, but I quite enjoy the Gucci Sukey Large Tote. Sure, it’s not revolutionary. It’s just a canvas tote with some cream leather trimming the famous Gucci monogram fabric. Maybe a bit played out? Sure. Logo bags aren’t nearly what they used to be. But still, compared to the other Cruise offerings, this tote is entirely unoffensive and beautiful in its lack of adornment (particularly its lack of odd tattoo-like adornment). For a Gucci bag, it’s price is relatively low, and I’ve always loved the cream leather combined with their signature fabric, although I’m not sure why it stick out to me. The shape is nice, it’s entirely functional, and it’s not at all ugly. Buy through Saks for $850.

Patent Clutch

I’m choose the purple because it’s got a bit of trendy side to it, but its still classic because of the cluth style. All these bags are patent leather (of course), have amazing top stiching, great silver metal hardware with the engraved Michael Kors name written on it. They measure 12 inches by 8 inches by 2.75 inches.

Which color would you choose?

Mulberry's new 'Shimmy'

Just the word "Mulberry" makes me feel all warm inside. Lovely, lovely, classic bags. This new 'Shimmy' is no exception.

This is the large version in 'straw'. I can't help feeling that, since it's called 'Shimmy', it'd be nice if it was a bit shinier and, you know, more shimmery, but maybe that's just me. It costs £895 (my pound sign isn't back, I had to copy that one from a previous post - what the hell?!).

Impulse Buy

If you buy something on the spur of the moment, how soon afterwards do you regret the purchase?

My first response to that question would be if I spent more than I could afford for the bag.

However, one month ago I purchased a bag at Forever 21. It was the first time I went to the store and I saw a bag that was cute and cheap. Unfortunately, cute and cheap did not cut it. The bag has already fallen apart. I only used the bag a couple of times. When I pulled the bag from a pile I noticed that the buckle was broken. Later in the day I found a piece under my desk at work. Now I do not want to even look at the bag. I would rather spend more money on a bag that will last years, than buy something trendy and cheap.

Jimmy Choo Medium Tote bags

Jimmy Choo Monna Medium Tote
Got Choo? Since 1996, Jimmy Choo has been dazzling women with his gorgeous accessories. Although handbags were not added to the mix until a few years later, Jimmy Choo is practically a household name for bagistas around the world. I think what I find most appealing about the brand is the unique designs. Many Jimmy Choo styles are instantly recognizable just because they don’t look like anything else out there. Yep, Jimmy Choo never ceases to amaze. That is why I was so surprised, when I came across this handbag, to find that it was made by Jimmy Choo. Introducing the Monna Medium Tote. Yes, this bag is unique, with its expandable center gusset. But I would have never guessed that the creative mind behind this bag was good ol’ Mr. Choo. I’m not really sure how I feel about this bag, to be honest. I love, love, love the color (Neon Pink is new for the Resort 2009 Collection). And I also love the smooth leather and suede combination. But what is up with those extra zippers on the sides? If you ask me, those zippered pockets have placed this bag into the “overkill” category. What does everyone else think?

The Jimmy Choo Monna Medium Tote measures 14″ x 11″, making it a good size for use as a work tote. It retails for $1,735 (a bit pricey, I know). The new Neon Pink is currently available for pre-order.

Miu Miu Leather Bags

There are certain colors I just can’t get enough of. Gray is one of them. With so many different shades to choose from, gray is a color that can add anything from sophistication to edginess to your outfit. When I first came across the Miu Miu Diamond Leather Bag I didn’t think I saw anything too noteworthy. At first glance, I actually thought I was looking at a clutch. Yet, as I looked a little more, I noticed a few things. First of all, this is a handbag that can be carried as a shoulder bag which comes with an adjustable shoulder strap, or used as an oversized clutch. Then I found myself pleasantly surprised with the textured leather diamond patchwork and bows on each side. Doesn’t the handbag just look so soft? I have to say, I am definitely a huge fan of the external patchwork texture and internal satin lining combination. With many gray winter days approaching, this is definitely the kind of gray I wouldn’t mind holding on to. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $1,295.

Petale Tote bags

Tisk, tisk, tisk. To me, this bag is just all wrong. I really don’t know what the designers were doing over at Valentino when they came up with this idea. The Valentino Petale Tote doesn’t just hurt my eyes, but it also would undoubtedly hurt my wallet. The layers of black tulle make this handbag look cheap and simply thrown together haphazardly. Not only that, but could you imagine how the tulle would feel as it rubs against your arm as you run around trying to take care of errands? I doubt it would feel good. I guess one good thing is that when it comes to how you can carry the bag, you have options. There are double patent leather handles and a detachable patent shoulder strap. Now of course, don’t hesitate to let me know if you think I am off base here, but for the price, is there anything about this purse that is worth it? Buy through Saks for $1,495.

wonderful Eva!

Louis Vuitton has come out with a really gorgeous and yet very affordable bag - the Eva clutch. It is definitely one of the most popular bags of this summer, so if you haven't bought one yet - go visit your local Louis Vuitton store and they might just have one left for you. :)

Nomad Messenger Bag

In our past two Gossip Girl discussions, we’ve had at least one poster ask about the messenger that Dan sports in the series - it’s vintage-looking, non-bulky, and actually pretty chic (for a manbag). And truth be told, I have no idea what it is or where it came from. Even on an enormous website like Zappos that carries hundreds of brands, only a handful of results appear when looking for a brown leather messenger (and most of them are for women). Perhaps society is trying to discourage our male counterparts from sporting man purses, or maybe brown just isn’t a big color for men this season. Honestly, I have no idea - I didn’t expect my search to be nearly so futile. I did find one bag that I thought Mr. Dan Humphrey might like, even though it’s obviously not the one that he has in the series: the Salvatore Ferragamo Nomad Messenger Bag. Its details are understated, its leather looks worn and saddle-like, and the silver buckles are just simple enough to not make you question the wearer’s sexuality (not that a manbag should make you do that in the first place). Brooklyn-dwelling teenager Dan would have to sell his sister Jenny into white slavery to afford it, though: it’s a bit steep, but buy through Saks for $1,900.

The Fendi Baguette is Back Just in Time for the Sex

Talk about timing! The Sex And The City movie is being filmed in Manhattan NY as we speak (and its about time). Carrie Bradshaw’s “signature bag” the Fendi Baguette (which first came out in 1997) is making its second appearance down the Fendi runway in the Spring 2008 collection. How perfect is this? The Fendi Handbag and TV show that went hand in hand are now making a comeback together 10 years later!

Ps. I bet SJP will carry the new Fendi Baguette in the movie!

Anya Hindmarch tote bags

Miss out on the eagerly anticipated Anya Hindmarch for Target collection when she sold it for UK customers on her website? Yeah, me too. But while I could easily wallow in my misery about the whole thing (or you know, beg one of my stateside-living mates to post some out to me), I have also been thinking: if I'm going to buy some Anya, why not go the whole hog?

This patent-trim tote bears a resemblance to the Target collection, however you can just imagine how gorgeous the smooth patent calf leather would be and the nylon means it's a very practical and classy way to do your shopping! At $375, it's a little bit beyond the $20-$50 pricepoints for the Target range, but if you're in the "what credit crunch?!" frame-of-mind, then you may wish to indulge. From Saks.

Jimmy Choo Hobo Bags

Jimmy Choo Sky Hobo Bag

Sorry for the late start today, but there is just so much to do so little time. As you know last week Vlad and I spent in NYC. We have amazing interviews and pictures to come (so excited to share with you all!). Things are hectic around here today as we are getting things situated before Vlad leaves on Thursday for Germany for two weeks. I am staying home to hold down the fort and Shannon is headed to California. We have so many things in store for you all, just hang tight!

While in NYC Vlad and I did not over-shop, at least in our minds. Of course we shopped, but not crazily. I nearly left Hermes with a new goodie, but I decided to wait for something else and we got Vlad a treat instead, a Hermes wallet. We will photograph it later, but it is his new pride and joy. We picked up a few items from another store, and those pictures will come later.
