Joy Gryson has two new babies: her six-year-old daughter Olivia Harris and the budget handbag line which shares her firstborn's name.

Little Olivia seems like the perfect namesake for the brand given her own keen fashion sense.

"She's really, really funny. Whenever we see someone walking in the street with one of the bags, she gets too excited," explained the New York designer. "She loves the little charm and the tag."

Showing you're never too young to carry a designer purse, Olivia enjoys carrying a one-of-a-kind creation made lovingly by her mother. Her pink leopard cross-body hobo covered in hammered rivets doesn't sound like the most tasteful creation around, but that just makes it perfect for a mini fashionista. While Olivia would love to take it to her first-grade class, her mother insists it's for weekend use only.

While fashion fans can't get Olivia's beloved bag, others like it are available in the Olivia Harris collection.

"We're all about downtown," explained Joy Gryson. "If the Gryson girl is TriBeCa, the Olivia Harris girl is her younger, cooler, rock ’n’ roll baby sister from Brooklyn or the LES."

The Olivia Harris handbags start from $155, and range up to $495. You can find them at Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale's and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Do you want to wear leopard print? Perhaps you have always secretly liked it, but never been sure how to? Perhaps most leopard print won't go with anything at all but you desperately want some in your wardrobe.

All these thoughts have crossed my mind at some point or other, and I think  I might have found the solution with this undeniably sophisticated Stuart Weitzman Report clutch.

First we have the small leopard print. No gaudy tacky over-sized animal print on this patent baby. Instead, this gentle print will go with many more outfits and won't make people's eyes go funny. Secondly the triangular folded face is just sexy.

Of course, the strong exterior does mean that you can't squeeze that much in the bag, even though it is stretched out! Thankfully it does come with a convenient handle, however,  and for once it isn't a chain! Lovely!

If the time has come to replace your tired old wallet then this Roxy "Cute You" wallet may well make for a great replacement. With its bright rainbow colors and deckchair style stripes, this is a cute and funky accessory.

It is interesting to see a purse like this that isn't closed with the traditional magnetic clasp or with a popper. Instead, this summery canvas Roxy wallet is tied with a cute and individual coordinating purple ribbon. I can see the novelty wearing off when trying to tie this up at the front of a busy queue, but it is very pretty!

Inside this cute and lightweight Roxy purse gets even brighter, with surfer style sixties Roxy print. It is a little "psychedelic" and can make your eyes go funny, but does carry on the delightful color-scheme throughout! This foldout wallet is full of pockets and pouches, although don't over-stuff if you want a fashionable looking purse!

We all know Big Buddha as an affordable on-trend fashion label but this Katie bag seems more grandmotherly than glamorous.

The popcorn knit finish has a cute quirkiness about it, but I just can't shake the idea that it looks like a failed Christmas gift from a well-meaning elderly relative. From the drab neutral color palette to the textured woolen finish, there's definitely something homespun about this hobo.

The funny thing about fashion though is that anything a little left of center will certainly suit somebody. The very things that turn me off the Katie will turn another bagista's head. And those fashion fans will love the high quality knit and timeless gold hardware. They're also bound to appreciate the Katie's massive size, and the soft braided handles which feel like heaven on the shoulders.

I concede that it is refreshing to see a hobo that doesn't look like the others. Once the weather cools, I can see the Katie becoming the go-to bag for girls who appreciate its eccentric charms.

• A zippered inside pocket

• Weighs two pounds

This playful messenger bag can add a little personality to your everyday wardrobe.

The messenger has a traditional flap style, but that doesn't mean it runs with the pack. The bright yellow fabric and bold "Feed Me" design by My Social Buttons give this handbag a geek chic appeal. A contrasting black shoulder strap and trim complete this bold look.

This polyester handbag is spacious enough to carry a laptop to school or the office, but versatile enough to work as a fun diaper bag or shoulder purse for any casual outing. The main compartment has a handy slip pocket, while the front panel has a hidden zippered pocket for convenient and safe storage. An adjustable clasp on the front flap is an inspired touch, offering more security than your average messenger.

With a retail value of less than £15 ($19), this bag is a real bargain for the openly geeky fashionistas.

Chanel designer Karl Lagerfield has made his directorial debut with a 10-minute silent film celebrating Coco Chanel. Mr Lagerfield was inspired to make the movie to set the record straight about the style pioneer.

"It's a funny movie, unpretentious," said Mr Lagerfeld. "Chanel was a charming woman, at liberty to seduce men. Everybody this year has decided to make a movie about Chanel, and you know their historical worth is not always too exact."

The film tells the story of Coco's love affair with Duke Dimitri Pavlovich. The decision to shoot in black and white is sure to add an air of authenticity to the work, which is set between 1913 and 1923.

Karl chose people closest to him to fulfill his creative vision, casting models Edita Vilkeviciute and Brad Koenig to play Coco and The Duke, his own bodyguard as a nightclub owner, and workers in his atelier to fill the minor parts.

"I cannot take extras," Mr Lagerfeld stressed. "They don't know how to touch the clothes."

The short film will make its world premiere at Paris' Ranelagh Theatre tonight to coincide with the launch of the Chanel Paris-Moscow pre-fall collection.

Chanel has recently showcased its latest selection of designer items for the spring of '09.

Karl Lagerfeld understands what 'Chanel' women want - classic elegance with a few touches of modern feminism thrown in for fun. Now 'fun' in fashion (the tongue-n-cheek kind) is something Mr. Lagerfeld indulges in quite often, just take the new Chanel Spring 2009 collection for instance. Read the rest of this entry »
