There’s nothing like looking at a dolled-up Claudia Schiffer to make you scoff at today’s batch of not-so-super-models. Thankfully, our favorite German (sorry, Heidi) has been venturing into the modeling waters again. But enough about Claudia’s career - let’s talk about her adorable white Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Clutch. I like the unexpected color choice, which pops against her dark flowing gown. Want to get in on the action? Try this similar Monogram Vernis Rodeo Drive Clutch, available at Eluxury for $1,030.

New Cath Kidstone handbag
If you are going to meet your prospective mother in law – this is the handbag to take - or maybe not - I am not quite sure. Anyway the Cath Kidston bags remind me of the Laura Ashley curtains my mum has in her kitchen and of a newer more trendier bag-version of the laminated shoppers of old ladies. But at the same time they look very pristine and innocent… so we have a split opinion!
Looking at Cath Kidston’s website (Is there a real person behind the name?) I discover that Cath has got some other similarities with Laura Ashley. It is the good home-makers heaven! Apart from the Cath Kidston handbags that I found on the internet, Cath Kidston also sells Homeware, Home Furnishings, Knitting and Sewing and even China!
Hmm… maybe this is where I will be shopping in ten years time… Scary! *_^
New Miu Miu Coral Stones Bags
Handbags like this are why I love Miu Miu so much. The label’s Coral Stones Bag, new for 2009, is an absolute gem in a sea of boring brown totes. This one is slouchy yet structured at once and so smart and polished you’ll wonder how you managed without it for so long. I know I am, because I am absolutely smitten with this gorgeous carryall. The deep brown leather is slightly distressed, so even though it’s shiny it doesn’t look too perfect. Coral stones embellish the thick rope handle, and though I had to search a little at first to spot them, their appeal is irresistible.

Juicy Couture Purses
Hi, It’s Mila and I’m here to tell you about the amazing juicy couture purses and handbags:
Sumptuous colors, innovative designs, and affordable prices; these are the three noticeable facets of Juicy Couture Purses and handbags. And this is exactly what attracts young women to Juicy Couture stores in flocks. People simply love their designer purses, and Juicy Couture repays it with high quality handbags and purse designs that are value for money.
Juicy Couture does not have a long history or tradition to fall back upon. The company began as late as 1994 with its own T-shirt collection, and it only graduated to handbags and purses only few years back. But, thanks to the quality and durability of the product, and its trendy designs and models, Juicy Couture handbags and purses quickly found foot in the already crowded handbag market, and carved a niche for itself in the new domain in no time. It has also succeeded in building a customer base, which is big enough to absorb any of its newest offerings without pushing the company into any sort of loss.
On the pricing front Juicy Couture purses are priced at around $125-$200 range, which makes it quite an affordable handbag to most women. In clearance sales and during festive offers such as Thanksgiving Day, one might be able to cash on a still cheaper deal. You could find more about Juicy Couture Purses from the Juicy Couture home website.

It is baby mania time. Almost every family we know has someone who is pregnant and about to have a baby shower. In Hollywood, babies seem to be the real order of the day. Dozens of starlets either recently gave birth or will in the next few months. And don't get us started with all the celebs having twins all the sudden. There must be something in the water in Los Angeles!

This is great not only for a new, first-time mom but also for someone who already has kids and wants to show them off. Or get it for a grandma in your life.

Animal friendly bags
I was browsing the internet for handbags – as I do - and I stumbled across Matt and Nat’s Vegan Leather handbags – and I thought to myself: “Hang on? Vegan handbags? Do they mean fake leather?” And it turns out yes. This represents their credo: Fashion forward AND vegan. I guess the difference is here that non-leather is the conscious positive choice rather than the cheaper option in production!
Well they do make you feel that it is not as the cheaper option as their handbags are the most pricey – non leather handbags I have ever seen! ^_^ Well, well, but if I understand right, they are made from Japanese paper… and they do look tasty, they have their very own original crinkly look – so here they are:
Matt & Nat Vegan Leather GRANDMASTER Bag £120
Matt & Nat Vegan Leather PORTISHEAD Bag £135
Matt & Nat Vegan Leather BAUHAUS Bag £200
Matt & Nat Vegan Leather KALI Bag £130

Bargain shopping at its best is brought to you by way of Overstock.com.

Made of quality leather, this oversized handbag features an abundance of inside pockets as well as outside pockets. Available in black and white, it measures 14x6x15, and has a price tag of $189.99. Quality at an affordable price, just like I like it. A perfect holiday gift for anyone on your list.
Bourke Purses
Designer purses and handbags, and for that matter, even wallets have long outlived its utility element as it is also widely perceived now as a fashion accessory or statement that women love to flaunt in the society. Dooney and Bourke understand this like its much touted competitors and hence had churned out lots of eye catchy handbags and purse models for the young and the aristocratic at affordable rates. Apart from its innovative designs and vibrant colors, Dooney and Bourke handbags are also know for its quality and durability.
However, in the open market, especially auction websites, there is this threat of duplicate items being sold to the unsuspecting buyer. Here are few tips to discern if a Dooney and Bourke wallet being sold. In fraudulent purses, it may have the leather label on the outside, and it appears like stitching. But if one could pry under with her fingernails, it can be safely assumed that it is not real. Also, see the label inside the purse. Depending upon the model, it could be either on the side or under the zippered pouch. On its other side is a serial number. So, next time, when you buy a gorgeous Dooney and Bourke purse, look for these cues. If it is not there, assume that it is a duplicate handbag.
Regarding prices, Dooney and Bourke handbags and purses can be best described as moderately priced, with its price ranging from $50 to $300 for most models. Newer bags could be registered with the Dooney and Bourke website so that the buyer could ensure that warranty/other privileges remain extended to the purchase as it may be applicable.

Guess Handbags Designers
Guess handbags are really pretty close up. Something I have never really realised. I have to admit that they are not necessarily exactly my style, but I can understand why someone would find them appealing.
Guess are not purely a handbag brand, they are also famous for their other fashion items – besides clothing especially their watches and jewellery are worth a mention. Guess was founded by Georges, Armand, Paul, and Maurice Marciano, four brothers born in Ouarzazate Morocco but who supposedly grew up in the south of France and were influenced by the culture and style in the region. They moved to California in 1977 and founded the company in 1981.
Here are some handbags that you can currently buy online – one even as new as from the Fall/Winter 2009 collection!! From top left in clockwise order:
Andrea Brueckner Handbags
Andrea Brueckner handbags marry luxurious textured leathers and bright, chic colors. The Canadian born designer’s menswear background translates into exquisitely tailored purses. Celebrities like Ashlee Simpson count themselves as a fan. Our friends at the design studio have extended Purse Page readers a special holiday discount to make gift shopping a little easier…
Coach Leather hobo bags
Its been awhile since I’ve seen anything interesting at Coach. I’m so sick of the signature canvas, and I’m undecided on this new patchwork line. It seemed like the designers at Coach were asleep at the wheel, not coming out with anything new or different.
But I did a double take when I saw the Leather pleated hobo. Simple, but not boring. Classic, but a little funky. I love the chain that crosses the front and the lovely pleats. My only complaint is that that hardware only comes in brass, where I would prefer a silver tone.
In the mood for something studded
I know I am jumping on the studded bandwagon a little late, but I’m really facinated by this bag from Michael Kors. The front pockets look useful and easy to open and close. The straps look like they would fit over my bulky jacket. I think this would make a good everyday commuting bag.
The metallic, whipstitched version is also lovely.
Nordstorm’s looks to be the place to go to for studded bags. Betsey Johnson has the Heavy Metal Hobo, and the Marrakech.
In addition, while not studded the Good Girl Hobo is sesible and classic but with a cool, comfy vibe.
Large Nevis Tote
Why can’t more bags be designed to be this straight forward and practical? Canvas fabric looks durable and hard wearing, but the metallic details are light and delicate.
What first caught my attention was these big open pockets in the front. Perfect to stash my subway pass, cell phone, lip gloss…all those items I’m usually fumbling around for.
Sadly, it looks like everyone else figured out how great this bag was before me since it is sold out.
White bags of all shapes
I’v gotten a couple email requests about white bags so I’m going to try to pull up some suggestions all in one post. I always ruled out white bags for myself as too risky since they could get dirty fast. I tend to bang up my bags, so white seemed to be asking for trouble. But not only is white going to be big this spring, but I’ve also found myself keeping an eye out for winter white this season. So for all seasons, you can’t go wrong with white.
