B. Makowsky Maui Hobo | Ruched Leather Handbag with Buckle Detail

Posted on: Jul 14

B.Makowsky's handbags have taken us all over the globe, with exotic names like the Toulousse, St Tropez, and Jakarta. The Maui has the versatility and everyday style we’d expect from a purse inspired by the US of A.

Hobos are notoriously slouchy, but this one has more structure than most. It doesn't lack softness though, with some subtle ruching around the front pocket and base making the most of the supple genuine leather. This feminine touch is complemented by the bold buckle, which adds a little vintage charm to this relaxed handbag.

The everyday styling of this purse is complemented by a cleverly designed interior. B. Makowsky makes the most of the hobo's generous space, with both zip and slip pouches packed into the side walls. With some sedate colors outside, it's also refreshing to see that daring leopard print lining.

Fans of the boho chic trend may be disappointed that this Maui hobo doesn't quite toe the line. But when that hippie fad has faded, this is the kind of purse you'll still want to carry.

Latico P.S. Rainbow Shoulder Bag | Multi-Colored Accordion Pleated Leather Purse

Posted on: Jun 20

The last Latico handbag I reviewed, the Eelskin Envelope Clutch, had some seriously bright colors. However, this Latico Rainbow Shoulder Bag takes the cake when it comes to multi-colored.

With tight accordion-style pleats, the Rainbow handbag has a very unique style that I certainly don't see very often. The amount of colors included is overwhelming, to be sure, but full of personality. I'd call this one a way-beyond-your-basic bag.

When they call it rainbow, it's no joke. There's just about every color imaginable included here. The only thing to break up the multitude is the dark brown leather trim on the handle, top zipper panel, and center disk that seems to hold the pleating together.

As far as convenience, this shoulder bag has an adjustable shoulder strap to customize your fit. The strap is also removable, though I'm not exactly sure why this is a practical feature since the purse is too bulky and cumbersome to carry as a clutch. The brightly colored Rainbow Shoulder Bag from Latico's P.S. collection retails for $199.

More Features of the Rainbow Shoulder Bag

  • Leather material
  • Zip top closure
  • Adjustable shoulder strap

Jessica Simpson St. Tropez Clutch | Multi-Colored Faux Crocodile Handbag

Posted on: Jun 13

If nothing else, this Jessica Simpson St. Tropez bag is certainly an eye-catcher. I find myself wondering how many outfits it could possibly work with, and yet I like it all the same.

It's not that the brightly colored, harlequin-like pattern isn't slightly overwhelming at first glance. I know I had to do a double take (or two) before deciding whether or not I actually liked the clutch. However, the combination of colors along with the woven technique is altogether interesting.

The effect is taken to a whole new level of unique when you add in the crocodile texture on the handbag. Though the leather is synthetic and the croc is merely embossed, I think it adds a little something extra to the look.

Leave it to Jessica Simspon to throw on a glossy patent finish on top of everything else. I could take or leave the sheen, but it's not really distracting when you consider the all of the other features on the St. Tropez.

Of course, there are more options for color other than this "Bright MuLighti" choice. In fact, most of the color choices are represented in this version here. If you want a solid instead, you can practically just pick out a color from this multi-colored one to know your options. Solid or rainbow-checkered, this Jessica Simpson St. Tropez clutch retails for $78 and is also available in tote or hobo styles.

More Features of the St. Tropez Clutch

  • Measures 12 x 9 x 1.5
  • Fold-over flap with magnetic closure
  • Interior pockets

B. Makowsky St. Tropez | Chic and Soft White Leather Hobo

Posted on: Jan 30

Yet another addition to B. Makowsky's famous vacation destination handbag names, the St. Tropez collection hits the mark on almost every section. Like its other hobo brand name siblings the Lisbon and Tokyo, the St. Tropez packs a lot of unique features into one medium-sized purse.

This casual handbag comes in claret red, black, and stone white as pictured. I love the cream-colored tone that will serve you well throughout the year. Winter white is a trendy look that is quickly becoming classic, yet the color is appropriate for the warmer months as well. All three colors look great on the St. Tropez, but my personal pick is the white.

The hobo shape, always a popular and practical choice, is just one style option from this line. This B. Makowsky also comes in a wider, zip top hobo and a slightly more structured satchel bag. This slouchy hobo, however, has extra decorative hardware on the front that stands out. The logo-engraved plate is attached to leather pieces that run horizontally along the top of the handbag and loop through the buckled handle details on the sides.

I also love the triangular silver studs that adorn the bottom of the St. Tropez giving it the appearance of a little structure without adding too much. The interior is lined in an animal print fabric for a cheeky touch, and the top closes with a magnetic snap. This versatile and stylish B. Makowsky retails for $275.

More Features of the St. Tropez Hobo

  • Measures 14 x 12 x 3 inches
  • Comfortable handle with 9 inch drop
  • Buckled details

Botkier St Tropez Satchel | Chic Italian Leather Handbag

Posted on: Dec 4

As the winter chill sets in, how does St Tropez sound? We might not all be able to afford that getaway to the French Riviera, but you can capture that sleek summer style with this St Tropez satchel from Botkier.

It may be inspired by the exotic French locale, but the styling is all Italian. Its classic good looks are simple and sophisticated, with angular top stitching near the handles and flap adding interest. The dual rolled straps look so chic and feel heavenly in the palm of your hand.

The contemporary front flap hides a magnetic snap closure. Pop it open to reveal the spacious lined interior. It features a handy inner pocket lined with leather to survive everyday wear and tear.

I love the crisp look of this white St Tropez, but be careful. If you’re looking for an everyday purse, this one is likely to show marks before too long. The basic black bag is a much more practical choice for girls on the go.

More Features of This Botkier Leather Satchel

  • Canvas and cowhide exterior
  • Logo print jacquard lining
  • Dual shoulder straps with a 5 inch drop
  • Measures 11 x 17 x 5 inches
  • Dust bag included for storage
  • Made in Italy
