Inspired by the upscale style of the world’s grandest palace and Queen’s Elizabeth II’s weekend home, the Gwendolyn is a chic and classic. Made of Italian leather with snake-skin emboss treatment, the bag is a luxury without breaking your bank account. I like the contrasting bow at the side which gives a demure feel to [...]
Tomas Maier opted for an unfinished look for this bag which is kinda cool and foreign to what we has rebuilt the brand to be. For summer, this natural look is a perfect match and do not let the rawness deceive you because the workmanship remains impeccable. The only problem is, I am not sure [...]
This is my favorite Salvatore Ferragamo iconic clutch. This beauty has been seen many times being clutched by some of the world’s most fashionable women including Blair Waldorf and Lily Bass in Gossip Girl. For the Spring/Summer 2010, the clutch has been issued in patent leather in eye-catching colors such as this hot red and [...]
Call me conservative but I think this is quite a nice man bag. Salvatore Ferragamo’s Gancini printed canvas is a newbie in the world of logo showcasing. This is not bad for those who want something flashy but avoid the usual Gucci GG and Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas. Price is also not too bad at [...]
What do you buy into a USD2,000 bag? Timeless design, superb materials and impeccable workmanship that translate to enduring quality, I guess. Gucci’s most skilled artisans will travel the world to selected Gucci stores to be stationed at temporary custom-built workshops where the clientele could witness live the process of crafting Gucci’s most iconic bags [...]
This is smoking hot, easily one of the hottest and most worth-it bags from Bottega Veneta’s Spring/Summer 2010 men’s collection. Stay tune for more Bottega S/S2010 pieces. This one will set you back by USD6,500 but make you look like a million bucks more.

Furla makes classic bags which to the younger crowds, tend to come cross as “old” but over the past few seasons, the house has introduced more colors and shapes that are still pretty timeless but appealing younger. This Rubino tote is a beautiful convertible bag, made of leather with python-effect finishing, available in pink, light [...]
I watch ‘NINE’ last week and have to agree that while Rob Marshall is still one of the greatest Hollywood’s Directors, he did not manage to come anywhere close to ‘CHICAGO’. The cast did deliver what they are expected to, especially Penelope Cruz who just owned the scenes. Penelope Cruz owned the night at the [...]
Now the game is on! It seems like Furla is stepping up its effort to gain a bigger pie of the expanding market share of man bags. The Goa briefcase is a very cool bag meant for a cool man too. I am loving the vintage feel from the creased sheepskin, which should be soft [...]
One of the Hermes classic pieces, the Jige clutch is a perfectly elegant and understated clutch made entirely of leather without a single piece of hardware. For the Spring/Summer 2010, the collection is re-introduced in the signature Blue Jean, orange, Honey, black and a dashing yellow. Price starts from USD2,175 for the large size (cheaper [...]
We do not feature enough Kate Spade here on purseholic and we should have. This tweed bag stole my attention when I passed by the Kate Spade store at Takashimaya last Saturday. There is everything to love about this bag - the classic shape, youthful design and colors and the tweed material which reminds me [...]
Ferragamo bags are not exciting lately, which is, in my opinion worse than making fugly bags that create buzz. This side-tied satchel is alright, not exactly Ferragamo style but it will appeal to younger crowds. The best thing I like about this bag is its beautiful blue shade. Like I said, not buzz-worthy. Price is [...]

It is long due for upgrade and now it has finally arrived. Gucci in Paragon Orchard, Singapore took over the spot once Ferragamo and Aigner stood and the four floors above it, making it a five-storey flagship boutique to match the upgrades of the other luxury brands such [...]
After 9 seasons of being the face for the French house, Kate Moss finally launched the first collection of which she designed. Like in the case of Kate Moss for Topshop, the collaboration will be an ongoing one, instead of just a capsule collection. The collection, without doubt, took reference from the Supermodel’s unparalleled personal [...]
It is official that the Mulberry Alexa bag is now the IT bag. Some people might have mistaken that the bag took reference from the Proenza Schouler PS1 bag but it is actually a spin-off from the house’s popular Bayswater, inspired by Alexa Chung’s style. In this yellow color, the bag attracts sightings and attention [...]
