Christian Dior Gypsy Ruffles Hobo Bag | Pretty Frilled Leather Purse

Posted on: Jul 17

Love it or hate it: the Gypsy Ruffles handbag by Christian Dior makes a big impression.

The soft calfskin ruffles that encircle the bag are sure to polarize fashion fans. Girly girls and hippie chicks will probably love the perforated frill, while no-nonsense bagistas will scorn its unabashed femininity. This red shade certainly makes the most of that divisive design, but other shades including mustard and basic black tone it down.

I don't mind the frill, but the Dior letter charms which dangle from the handle overcomplicate the design. Making them removable, as so many other brands do, would have satisfied label lovers and minimalist mamas alike.

Open up the top zip to reveal a space which strikes the right balance. There's room for the essentials and a few luxuries besides, but it's not so big that you'll feel weighed down. That's a good thing too, because the double wrapped strap doesn't look like the most comfortable carry handle!

This is a hobo that embraces its bohemian roots and its girly side in equal measures. It won't be to everyone's taste, but it's bound to excite many feminine fashionistas.

Burberry Classic Tartan Baguette | Traditional Classy Leather-trim Tote

Posted on: Jul 16

With Emma Watson gracing the face of every magazine in stunning Burberry creations, I thought the time had come to review a classic Burberry handbag like this elegant baguette.

With its chestnut leather trim and iconic tartan print, this Burberry tote could not be a better example of everything that makes this famous British brand so well known. This baguette in particular, with its satchel like shape, really brings to mind luxury British schools and horse-riding!

Of course, the Burberry brand is the type of look that you either love or hate. The tartan suits very particular tastes, whilst often the associations with Burberry caps and more can be overpowering. If the style is your cup of tea, however, then this elegant and functional example is a great choice.

The tradition of this classic baguette is modernized with an over-sized leather buckle and vinyl coated canvas. Its equestrian theme may still be a little conservative for some, but this is a handbag that will catch attention and recognition wherever you go.

  • Comes with dust bag
  • Inner zip and phone compartments
  • Reinforced corners
  • Deep brown leather trim

RG House of Florence Yellow Baguette | Elegant Italian Boar Leather Purse

Posted on: Apr 25

I do love a good purse. I also love brands that aren't afraid to keep it plain, so it isn't surprising that this modernist yellow clutch really caught my eye. As with all great bags, the shape and lines of a good design speak for themselves, and this purse is no exception. With its gently curved corners and simple envelope style snap closure, I caught myself reaching absentmindedly for the credit card!

At this point, however, I though the bag probably begged a little more examination, and I was slightly hesitant about what I found. The color, granted, is quite beautiful. Even if you don't personally swoon over daffodil shading, this little gem hits all the right trend buttons with bright, bold colors. This isn't a half-hearted attempt at "yellow," this is diving in headfirst.

When you think about it, however there isn't much more to this bag. The handle is thin and simple (although probably strong), and the only touches of something different are with the gold colored hardware. The interior is satisfactory, with one little zip pocket, and I would say it was boring if it wasn't lined in luxurious brown suede. We have no fancy trimming, and no special touches. It is a classic, time honored design in a new 21st century shade, and that is all there is to it.

If you want subtlety, try this patent beauty, and if you want extra features try this red number. However, it's a great bag if you are looking for something with a designer edge, that is brave and bold, but not overpowering - for your look or your pocket!

More Features of This RG House of Florence Baguette

  • Made of boar leather
  • Gold colored hardware
  • Brown suede leather lining
  • One compartment and one zip pocket
  • Snap closure

Red Fendi Mini Mama | Bright Patent Leather Shoulder Bag

Posted on: Dec 12

Leave it to Fendi to make orangish-red look classic. Though it isn't one of the warm colors we've been seeing this season, the bright Mini Mama is sure to make any outfit pop.

The patent leather that seems to be a recurring trend right now looks stunning on this little Fendi number. The fashion child of the popular Fendi Mama from the past, the Mini Mama is smaller than its parent purse but equally stylish.

It can't be called practical due to its small size, and it certainly shouldn't be an everyday purse. However, this Fendi would be great for special occasions where you need a little something to spice up a simple outfit. Be careful what colors you wear with it, though. A bright tone like this one needs a basic color palette to accompany it. This handbag should be the showcase of your ensemble and doesn't need to compete with anything else you've got on.

The red is complemented by the gold hardware on the chunky chain shoulder strap and on the Fendi interlocking "F" that adorns the front flap. The wide base of the baguette-shaped purse is convenient for the times you, unfortunately, will have to set it down. Look for the Fendi logo stitched on the interior lining.

If the blend of tangerine and crimson isn't for you, don't disregard the Mini Mama. For those who prefer more traditional handbags, this one is also available in black or brown in Fendi's signature Zucchino fabric featuring the Fendi logo. The patent leather Mini Mama retails for $805.

More Features of the Mini Mama

  • Measures 9 x 6 x 4 inches
  • Patent leather and chain shoulder strap with 7 inch drop
  • Gold-toned hardware
  • Magnetic snap closure
