The year 2009 has been particularly challenging for most of us around the world but as with everything else in the world, it has to come to an end and we all look forward to the more optimistic year 2010. If there is one thing so profound that I have personally learnt from what I [...]

Net-a-porter.com bags sale includes the Fendi Twin tote in this classic brown color. The Fendi Twin tote is a very simple bag with most attributes of a classic bag so this will make a good choice for an investment piece, especially when it is on 40% off from GBP1,000 to GBP600.

My God! Isn’t this stunning? Yes, it is no Hermes HAC but Marc Marmel bags are inspired by vintage travel bags from Hermes and Louis Vuitton nonetheless. I think I am smitten. Marc Marmel pieces are very well crafted with vintage inspired leather on the outside, which make them look like long kept treasures, only [...]
Besides Gryson, Botkier and Be&D, another contemporary handbag designer worth checking out is Bulga. Typically understated yet edgy like its peers, this Parisienna tote is chic, nice and not boring at all. I love the color of the leather which is called dorange. The Parisienna is currently at 40% off from USD765 to USD459 at [...]
This is a highly limited edition Louis Vuitton Cherry Blossom bag I had no idea it exists to begin with until now. The bag was only made available to Louis Vuitton VIP clients but apparently one of them has decided to let it go. I dun think the bag is fantastically fabulous but owning a [...]
True fashionistas mix big established designers with contemporery ones and if your wardrobe has been lacking those, start with Gryson bags. Besides the new classic Olivia, the Angie is a good bet too. I think it looks a little bit like work bag but that means it is perfect for work and dinner or drinks [...]
I don’t know how and why but then again who am I to question the fact that the fabulous Valentino 360 bag in green ponyhair is at 40% off at the net-a-porter.com alongside some other fabulous bags that would be a sin to miss. The 360 is down from GBP1,423.56 to GBP854.14. Everyone is crazy [...]
Loewe bags have started garnering Hollywood celebrity fans. Seen here carried by Kate Bosworth is the lovely and low-key Loewe Ame, the younger convertible cousin of the iconic Amazona of the house. The Ame is available is the incredibly soft refined calf (one of Loewe’s signature leather), calfhair, snakeskin and croc.

The Alexa satchel is a vintage-inspired bag design. I am digging the bag as a messenger and the size is pretty big too at 42cmx32cmx22cm. The bag is made in the UK, fully in Buffalo leather and knowing Mulberry, the bag is worth the price tag of EUR833.33 inclusive of shipping to most countries in [...]
Made of wrinkled lambskin, the Givenchy Pepe Sac in this hot red should be your staple for the Spring / Summer 2010. The bag is understated and striking at the same time. Givenchy is the master in achieving this effect of a bag on the crowd - just like a Santa passing by, everyone else [...]
Forget about her music career or TV show, I don’t even know why Jessica Simpson is still a celeb now but she surely has a good taste (and the money) for bags. Seen here in a few occassions, Jessica is toting the IT Valentino 360 bag in silver sequin. This bag will set you back [...]
There is nothing incredibly unique about this bag but that is where the beauty of it or any other Jill Sander product, for that matter lies. The only thing extraordinary about this tote is its huge size at 21″x11″x6.5″. I also love the pebbled leather that is scratch-resistant yet softly slouches when carried. This camel color [...]
I regard my Balenciaga work as my best purchase ever. It is like a perfect bag for me and the Autumn 2009 is a perfect perfect color too. Dee’s infatuation with the Giant City is very high now after seeing my Work and I am all behind it (except for the financing part). I think [...]
The last few bags from Dior (Le 30, Granville and Dior 61) were somewhat succesful but never actually reached an IT bag status. The newest bag offered by the house now is the New Lock, which is a beautiful shoulder bag about the size of the original Fendi Baguette. I personally think this bag has [...]
Many will agree if when say that Loewe has a very beautiful logo. There is something anti-logo about the logo and it is kinda genius. The four letter “L” forming an emblem is rather an art, hardly a branding. The Anagram is Loewe’s answer to Louis Vuitton’s Monogram or Gucci’s GG or Fendi’s Zucca. Maybe [...]
