50 Unusually Bold and Bizarre Bags 21-30

Posted on: Nov 16

The $52k Bag

This Louis Vuitton Tribute bag is made in France and is a patchwork mess of 14 Louis Vuitton bags. Louis Vuitton has definitely made a mark on the fashion industry, and many LV bags remain classics to this day. Somehow I don't imagine it to be the case with this one, despite the hype. Only 24 were made and Beyonce Knowles is one of the lucky owners of this $52,000 purse.

Undergarments Exposed

Many people like to keep their undergarments concealed under clothing, but others are proud to show them off. This bag celebrates the latter. These were in about seven years ago, no joke. They are stiff, have small entry zippers and only get so unique. Corsets are still in, but it will be up to you whether or not carrying this around town is an option.

A Bag Against Breast Cancer

Handbags made from bras are popular and are generally made and sold as a way to promote the fight against breast cancer and promote awareness. These are fairly simple to construct and make a positive statement. Although you may not carry it around on a daily basis due to the size and functionality, the cause is close to all of our hearts, so you should take the chance to fight it however you can.

Skunk Fur by Fendi

Although the skunk is not the best loved animal anywhere, we're sure PETA still doesn't appreciate this Fendi skunk fur purse. Does anyone know if skunk fur is soft though? Getting too close to one anywhere else would be a hazard. With such detail, this bag may be too much for some to handle. Decorated with the fur of a skunk, many would say this bag really stinks.

Chinese Take Out Bag

Love Chinese take out? This is the handbag for you. The design is clever and creative, to say the least. The use of materials to craft a small purse into the likeness of a take-out box speaks for itself. Just be sure to keep things straight; you wouldn't want anyone to dump noodles into your purse, unless you don't have anything else to pack your leftovers in.

Chicken Feet

Everyone loves a bag with form and function; classic structure mated with a creative twist make this accessory quite unique. We're sure this handbag is sure to get second looks. To protect the bottom of the bag from scuffs, it actually has feet. And not just any feet either; they are chicken feet. It looks like it's about to run away!

Toad Bag

This strange looking bag looks like an oversized toad. What's not to love? Plenty. Wait a second, you're right; it is an oversized toad. We don't have to get into all the issues you may come across carrying this beaut, like nausea and ugly looks, but one has to wonder how much actually fits inside of the bag. If nothing else, it can function as a glorified cell phone case.

A Swinging Dead Cat Bag

The design of this dead cat bag may not be a favorite for cat lovers, but it's definitely an attention getter. It doesn't look easy to carry, with an inflexible bar as the handle. It also seems relatively small, which wouldn't allow for many goodies, despite how inconveniently wide the purse is. How does it open? We hope it doesn't follow anatomy.

Peacekeeper Bag

[Image Source]

Live in a rough neighborhood? This purse has a brass knuckle handle that shows thugs you're not to be messed with. But really, most reasonably sized purses can function as a decent whacker. We think this is more of a statement of attitude than statement of actual functionality. Although, it looks like the handle is removable, so you can get down to business if need be.

Russian Doll Handbag

This absolutely precious handbag is made from the outermost Russian nesting doll. It's unusual and completely irresistible. It would be a great little accessory for a night out on the town, and the classic colors allow for easy matching with many outfits. A wonderful plus is that it appears able to hold more than just a tube of lipstick, maybe ID, your cell, and some cash, which is something we all look for in a formal handbag.

Win a Diane von Furstenberg Handbag from Twilight Sugar by Answering Questions about “New Moon”

Posted on: Oct 22

What does the Twilight mayhem have to do with Diane von Furstenberg? Absolutely nothing. However, that doesn't stop PopSugar Network's new Twilight-centric site TwilightSugar.com from combining the two for a giveaway that any handbag fan, whether Robert Pattinson-crazy or not, can be excited about.

To commemorate the debut of the new website, TwilightSugar is giving away one very desirable Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Medium Hobo bag. The metallic hobo has been a hot item in its various color options throughout several recent seasons, but this version in varied shades of silver is simply stunning ... and, according to TwilightSugar, also "metallic and super sexy — just like Edward Cullen."

Well, that correlation is a bit of stretch for me, but I do love the purse. It's a celebrity favorite as well, having been spotted on the arms of fashion mavens like Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé Knowles.

To enter, you've got until November 11 to answer a short quiz about New Moon, the second of the Twilight movies to be hitting the big screen soon. The giveaway is open to U.S. residents only.

Solange Knowles’ Handbag and Bicycle Stolen | Soul Singer Rants on Twitter After Theft

Posted on: Oct 13

Solange Knowles, the soul singing sister of Beyonce Knowles, is the latest victim of handbag theft. The singer awoke on Sunday to find her handbag and bicycle gone.

Solange is always seen carrying a hot handbag from edgy upcoming labels like CC Skye and Samantha Thavasa. Yet she seems more torn up about losing the bike, which was a gift from two close friends.

"Thank you whoever stole my bag and my fave yellow bye-sick-cool [bicycle]. I hope you ride it really fast then trip on a stick and fall," Solange wrote on her Twitter page. "That bike was a gift from two of my besties [best friends] ... & I've had it for some good years. I'll never be able to replace the memorys [sic]."

But the singer is remaining positive despite her loss, adding "Thank God they didn't steal me. There's always a bright side."

Indeed! She may not be able to replace a bike with such sentimental value, but I'm sure there are plenty of designers willing to give her a new purse!

Beyoncé to Launch Sasha Fierce Collection for House of Deréon | Pop Star and Mom Collaborate for Handbags, Jewelry, and More

Posted on: Jul 1

Beyoncé's alter-ego sometimes gets more of the spotlight than the superstar herself, in my opinion. Sasha Fierce might not be a household name, but it's definitely one that's been tossed around a lot in interviews and articles. Now the performance diva counterpart is following Beyoncé from the stage to the fashion world.

The pop star and her mom, Tina Knowles, are adding an entire Sasha Fierce collection to their line House of Deréon. The pieces will be inspired by what Beyoncé is currently wearing on stage for her world tour.

"The line really exudes a different side of my personality, which I am grateful that I can express. The 'Sasha Fierce' line is for the confident, sensual and daring side of a woman," Beyoncé explains.

You'll be able to tap into your inner diva later this month when the collection hits department stores like Macy's and Dillards. Handbags, lingerie, jewelry, footwear, and more are all included.

The collection will retail for $20 to $125. Those are fairly good prices for budget-conscious gals who want to dress like Beyoncé ... or rather Sasha Fierce.

Beyoncé Stays Practical about Spending Money on Overpriced Designer Handbags

Posted on: May 18

It seems almost contradictory to report about the practical outlook that Beyoncé has on fashion when she's constantly seen toting some of the most expensive luxury handbags.

However, unlike the Birkin-obsessed Victoria Beckham's of the world, this soulful singer/sometimes actress claims to have a limit when it comes to spending money on fashion. Beyoncé recently described her non-diva, laid-back style to The Mirror:

"I don't know if I'm fashion obsessed. I think when I’m working, yes, but when I’m at home I usually wear the same thing every day. I have my straight-leg jeans and a pair of Christian Louboutins and a little jacket and a white shirt. I get sent about fifteen designer bags a month. I can only imagine how much they cost. Even I wouldn’t buy some of them."

Well, it's not as if she can be labeled a budget fashionista while stomping around in Louboutins every day, and I certainly don't feel sorry for her having to deal with mountains of designers bag handouts every month (like her $42,000 Louis Vuitton Tribute ... what a nightmare). However, with most shoppers pinching pennies these days, I suppose it's nice to hear that even ridiculously overpaid celebrities might know when to reign in the spending.

Beyonce Knowles Poses with Sang A. River Tulip Tote Bag for Photographer Tony Duran

Posted on: Sep 16

Soul diva Beyonce Knowles recently posed for this gorgeous photoshoot with acclaimed photographer Tony Duran.

There's no denying her beauty, but it pales in comparison to that stunning Sang A. River Tulip Tote she's carrying!

The soft ruching of the scalloped eel skin purse reminds me of flower petals. Even in this strong black shade, It adds just the right dash of femininity to Beyonce's masculine blazer.

The River Tulip Tote is also available in soft rosette pink and a khaki color called crema.

These eye-catching handbags are a little pricey, but their timeless appeal makes it worth the investment. At least that's what I keep telling myself!

If you love this purse make sure you look out for Sang A.'s other exotic creations, using lush fabrics like python, multicolored mink, and soft pony hair.

The Human Cost of ‘Poverty Fighting’ Celebrities Burning $600,000+ on Handbags!

Posted on: Jun 23

Poverty or Handbag

Hollywood stars would like you to believe they're not as superficial as the glamorous lifestyles they lead. Sure they might make millions, but they love to use that cash to feed starving children and help the homeless.

But you can't change the world if you don't look good first, right? So while the starlets might pledge thousands to their favorite charities, they're spending just as much on the latest designer handbags. Drab outfits might have been OK for Mother Theresa, but today's celebrity saints have a reputation to uphold.

It makes you wonder whether the stars believe in the causes they support, or whether it's all just a cheap grab for publicity. Are they celebrity charlatans using poverty to gloss their image, give them publicity, which subsequently generates them more fame and money to feed a designer shopping addiction?

How can these socially aware stars spend thousands on some arm candy while people in third-world countries are still dying of hunger? Some of these bags are so expensive, they'd easily feed an entire African village.

If you've pledged to help fight poverty how can you justify spending thousands on a designer handbag when that that money could make a huge impact on poverty to hundreds (if not thousands) of people.

Maybe I'm being too harsh on these famous celebrities but when you look at how much they've spent and how that money could have been used to fight poverty it makes you question their motives. Just take a look at these examples of "poverty fighting" celebs and their excessive handbag spending:

Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork Bag | Opulent Tribute to LV Classic Handbags

Posted on: May 9

Louis Vuitton TributeWhat could be better than one Louis Vuitton bag? How about a handbag which incorporates 15 of your favorite Louis Vuitton designs? That's exactly what the Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork bag does, and it's sent fashion fans into a frenzy.

The bag takes the best parts from Louis Vuitton's spring and summer Cruise lines and rolls them into one to create a purse that's truly unique. This colourful patchwork design is offset by a classic gold chain handle and side detail. Its shopper style is spacious enough to easily hold all the essentials you need to get you through the day.

Only 24 of these limited edition purses were made, but they've already been snapped on the arm of soul sister Beyonce Knowles. The $42,000 is probably small change for this megastar, but it might make the rest of us think twice!

These limited edition Louis Vuitton bags are currently sold out, but you can buy some of the purses used to make it at the links below. Or alternatively buy take a look at the designer inspired versions of the extravagant patchwork bag.
