Louis Vuitton and Naomi Campbell Collaborate for Charity | Proceeds Benefit White Ribbon Alliance

Posted on: Oct 9

Naomi Campbell might have quite the reputation when it comes to ridiculously violent reactions to seemingly innocent situations. However, the international supermodel also has a well-known heart for charity work.

Campbell has collaborated with luxury design brands before to benefit charity, such as her Hermes Birkin bag auction for the White Ribbon Alliance. Well, she's at it again to help out the pregnancy and childbirth focused organization, but this time with Louis Vuitton.

As global ambassador of the White Ribbon Alliance, the model has chosen a signature monogrammed LV handbag to retail in the company's stores, with part of the proceeds from sales going directly to the worthwhile organization.

Although we don't have a name yet for the upcoming handbag, we do know that it will retail for roughly $2, 800. You'll be able to get your hands on the new Louis Vuitton purse next March right around Women's Day.

Naomi summed things up with a short, and maybe slightly defensive, quip about this type of collaboration:

"People say fashion people don't do anything. We do a lot," she said.

She does surprise me with her commitment to the White Ribbon Alliance, but I'd certainly never say she doesn't do anything.

Photographer Annie Leibovitz and Others Design for Louis Vuitton | Auction to Benefit the Red Cross

Posted on: Sep 24

Famed fashion photographer Annie Leibovitz is stepping out from behind the lens for a new project. After years of capturing images for photo shoots and a recently publicized financial woes involving a Supreme Court lawsuit, Leibovitz is trying her hand at a different kind of fashion career: designing handbags.

The photographer, whose work with Vanity Fair and labels like Dior and Louis Vuitton is well-known, has joined British artist Damien Hirst, Marc Jacobs, and others for a special design project to create limited edition Louis Vuitton bags. Their designs will be auctioned off at Sotheby's in London on November 17. It's not for fame or fortune, however, since the auction will benefit the Red Cross in celebration of their 150th anniversary.

Leibovitz's design is a large monogrammed backpack trimmed in black leather with a matching shoulder bag. A photography equipment-holding backpack isn't exactly Louis Vuitton's typical product, but something tells me that no one is questioning the photographer-turned-designer's talent.

Guess Rhonda Box Tote | Chunky Crocodile Bowler-style Hold-all

Posted on: Sep 24

Inject some high-capacity fun into your day-to-day life with this spacious chunky box tote from designer Guess.

The funky silver toned hardware edging the pockets and handles of this Rhonda tote add some great structure to the square bowler bag lines. Add to that a dose of over-sized crocodile skin, brilliant shape and rich sexy colors, and this Guess hold-all is a pretty beautiful bag!

Part day handbag and part evening carryall, Guess have clearly aimed to create a stylish purse that will be suitable all year round. It isn't a pretty evening purse, nor a compact multi-functional beauty, but what it is meant to do it does well. You even get to enjoy the monogrammed Guess fabric on the interior, whilst the outside stays subtle and classy.

Th shoulder strap for this box tote is brilliantly useful. However, the short handles are a little thin for a bag of this capacity, which means you only have one carrying option if you really overload it.

All in all this is a top end designer bag that clocks in at under $200. It's a great little investment piece in trend-proof colors and an unusual shape.

More Features of this Guess Rhonda Tote

  • Also available in brown
  • Silver toned hardware
  • Detachable optional shoulder strap
  • Exterior and interior pockets

Guess Mademoiselle Multi Clutch | Functional Monogrammed Leather Wallet

Posted on: Sep 23

Perfect for girls who like functional clutches but without the chunky elements of this season's 80s catwalks, this Guess Mademoiselle wallet combines functionality with pretty colors.

Equally attractive in the red, black or white shades, Guess have gone all out on the silver monogrammed "G" logo emblazoned on the front. It makes the bag both pretty and immensely classy at the same time.

Good looks and subtle embossed leather aside, you aren't going to be able to fit much in this compact clutch. Phones are out and even too much change will make it chunky and lumpy. You will, however, have plenty of space for cards in the hundreds of slots provided!

All in all this is an attractive and useful clutch great for a night out. It probably won't suit you for all day wear, but for the evenings it's a stunner!

More Features of this Guess Mademoiselle Clutch

  • 16 card pockets
  • Functions as a clutch or a wallet
  • Leather exterior

Goldenbleu Christi Clutch | Cute Purse in Patent and Matte Diamonds

Posted on: Sep 15

Coin purses have always been popular with those who like cute bags that come in tiny sizes. The traditional kiss-lock closure and slouchy thus spacious shape make them an attractive design with a healthy dose of functionality. This over-sized version from Goldenbleu acts as a clutch, yet with all the sweet features of our old coin purses.

The shape is obviously pretty, and the kiss-lock clasp is an age-old design that rarely breaks as well as looking good. The exterior sexy leather design, however, is what makes this bag really quite beautiful. In a bright diamond pattern contrasting blood red patent squares with a more muted matte shade, this oozes style as well as a stylized cubist-yet-60's vibe. The effect disappears somewhat on the black option, but is very desirable in red.

Looks-wise this Goldenbleu clutch is flawless, from the monogrammed faux suede interior with its matching red trim to the glossy metal frame. It is also pretty functional, although the interior of this patent wonder is perhaps smaller than one would hope for. The main drawback is the lack of any sort of handle. Whilst clutches are meant to be clutched, they need to be carried easily too!

More Features of this Goldenbleu Christi Clutch:

  • Roughly 8" x 8"
  • Printed faux suede lining
  • Leather exterior and trim
  • Interior zipped pocket

Harveys Recycled Seatbelt Half-Wallet | Ecofriendly Woven Purse

Posted on: Sep 8

Harveys ecofriendly handbags made from recycled seatbelts can now be complemented by this coordinating half wallet in the same iconic design.

Not as bulky as a full wallet, these half wallets feature just enough slots and spaces for a day out. Whilst the environmentally friendly purses are spacious and functional, don't expect them to hold every single card and coin in your no doubt extensive collection. A half wallet is a useful addition to a handbag collection, and should do you proud for many an occasion.

Whilst the unique seatbelt fabric is both quirky and attractive, don't expect high class evening looks - after all, these were once functional straps for holding people in place, and rarely came Swarovski encrusted or in vibrant colors! Function and individuality is the main aim of the Harveys brand.

As with all Harveys seatbelt bags, chunky zips, metallic touches and thick coordinating edge trims are present, as is the much loved seatbelt brand name, labeled in the cool gray interior.  This planet loving recycled purse is a useful piece of kit, and a great conversation piece!

More Features of this Recycled Half Wallet

  • Available in black, brown, red or champagne
  • Monogrammed interior
  • Exterior made from recycled seatbelts
  • Multiple interior slots/pockets

Tignanello Soft Touch Ball Shopper | Slouchy and Supple Leather Handbag

Posted on: Aug 28

I might be a little biased when it comes to reviewing Tignanello styles because I think they have some fabulous handbags, but I'm sure I'm not alone in liking the look and design of this Soft Touch Ball Shopper.

One of my favorite features of this moderately affordable purse is its real leather material. That's one of the great things about Tignanello; other than monogrammed fabric bags, they stick with a very decent quality of the real thing without marking up the price. Even brands like Jessica Simpson, which has a fairly similar price range and target market as Tignanello, tends to favor manmade and leather-like in lieu of the real deal.

The Soft Touch collection from this label is exactly what is described. The soft, buttery leather is perfectly relaxed and slouchy without looking overly sloppy or too casual.

Although it's not a particularly large handbag, you might be surprised by what you can carry inside the Ball Shopper. The slightly unstructured shape lends itself to filling the inside up and outward. It isn't very tall, so you won't be able to store things like paperwork or magazines, but there are tons of pockets for smaller items. There is even a zippered divider for keeping everything extra-organized inside. The bag's exterior pockets on the front and back make for even more storage.

The interior is lined with a cute, modern polka dot satin fabric. While the hidden magnetic snap is extremely convenient, it's certainly not the most secure form of closure. It does make it easy to access your stuff, though. The Soft Touch Ball Shopper's long, rolled leather handles are a comfortable way to carry this stylish leather bag.

More Features of the Soft Touch Ball Shopper

  • Measures 12 x 8 x 5 inches
  • Double handles with 9.5 inch drop
  • Also available in black, white, and ivory
  • Retails for $169

Dutch Company Henk Sells Handmade Luxury Luggage for $20,000

Posted on: Aug 25

When you hear the phrase luxury luggage, I'm guessing that visions of Louis Vuitton cases flash through your mind. Although the brand's famously monogrammed travel bags seems to be a popular choice among jet-setting celebrities, they are certainly not the only ones in the business of expensive luggage.

A company named Henk, which is based in the Netherlands, gives people another option for traveling in style. Luxurious is hardly a strong enough adjective to describe this brand's product. It's downright swanky.

This futuristic-looking suitcase rings in at an astounding $20,000. However, I suppose the price is justified by the handmade, completely unique and technologically advanced product you get. Its super lightweight design is compact enough to meet IATA regulations for carry-on luggage but with convenient features like retractable wheels and a central locking system. I guess all of this accomplishes Henk's mission to "fulfil the dreams and desires of those who find space, money and time to enjoy the beautiful things in life."

The options are practically endless for customizing your own suitcase. Besides choosing between things like glossy carbon fibre or ostrich-embossed calfskin for the outside, you can also personalize your Henk by adding a name, monogram, or even logo to the design. I guess that's the benefit of each one being made by hand to your specifications. Talk about luxury!

It's a completely different style from other designer luggage like Louis Vuitton or Tom Ford's traditional alligator set but something that I'm sure will intrigue many a wealthy business man or woman with high demands, contemporary taste, and few grand to spend.

G by Guess Royal G Vanessa Tote | Elegant Hobo with Sexy Python Accents

Posted on: Aug 21

With the temperatures around the globe beginning the depressing nosedive into winter, the time has come to look for a classy and elegant bag with a hint of the cool and icy about it. This surprisingly spacious cool gray tote from the G by Guess range is just the cool-as-a-cucumber hobo that I was looking for.

In gentle gray tones throughout, this bag is sophisticated and work suitable. The coordinating python skin accents add that extra something special to the design, without turning it into an over-the-top evening purse or a bright casual day bag.

Whilst this Guess hobo is undeniably pretty, I do worry about the length of the matching python skin handles. The drop isn't the biggest, although you should still be able to carry it over your shoulder. To keep the smooth elegant lines of this monogrammed tote, you are best not to overfill it anyway!

Available in purple or altogether sensible black options, this fabric and leather tote can work all the seasons. It will look best, however, with sexy fur collars and sumptuous cashmere. This is a classy bag that begs for elegance.

With attractive python and chunky silver hardware, this bag is unlikely to let you down. Be careful, however as gray stains easily and may get damaged in less time that the boring black option!

More Features of this Royal G Vanessa Hobo

  • Dimensions 15" x 11"
  • Glossy pleather
  • Signature Guess fabric front panel

Motorcycle Champion Gabor Talmacsi Loves His Louis Vuitton Man Bag

Posted on: Jul 16

Man bags are practical and sophisticated, but most lads still struggle with the idea of carrying a purse. So it's refreshing, and a little unexpected, to find a man speaking out about his murse obsession! Perhaps the adrenalin-charged career of Hungarian motorcycle charm Gabor Talmacsi buys him enough credibility to chat about his love of Louis Vuitton.

"I adore bags. When I see one fits me, I have to buy it without any hesitation," he gushed. "Usually I wear a shoulder bag as I don't like have anything in my pockets. My mania has been noticed by the biggest company in bags as I got a beautiful bag from Louis Vuitton."

The bag in question is the Louis Vuitton Monogram Beaubourg, a unisex creation which proudly displays the traditional tan on brown LV signature leather. It's been accused of being a tad girly, but it doesn't look like Gabor minds. How could you when you're getting Louis for free?
