Gucci Large Bamboo in Leonardo print embroidery and croc trims for USD16,900
The Gucci Icons collection is a small collection reproducing the iconic designs of Gucci. The Bamboo is obviously the highlights of this season and there are many great Bamboo bags in this collection. The prices are generally expensive but then again they are icons [...]
Luxurious certainly but is it really necessary at USD4,060 price tag? I love the bag but it is a little too much for me with the metallic python with hand-painted floral pattern. It is like a luxury overload.

What a beautiful bag! Although I have to admit that the word ‘Baby’ makes it a little repulsive. Nevertheless, if you could get over that fact and have GBP8,000 to spare for this beauty. It is all good.

The Jana bag is the era-defining bag for Brian Atwood for Bally and is a style favored by Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba and Katherine Heigl. This Suede Python version in pinkish purple color is a left-over from the Fall/Winter 2009 collection and is currently at 40% off from GBP1,550 to GBP930. It is indeed an [...]
Oh look at this!!!! Could houses like Fendi or Ferragamo start stealing some reference from Chloé for its handbags? This is a perfect follow-up to the hot Elsie flap bag. The Elsie satchel in python is on a league of its own: vintage-inspired, classy, elegant and youthful at the same time. I love everything about [...]
For the love of French labels and the late Christian Dior himself! Ain’t this in a league of its own? Pristine…

Ever since its launch in year 2000, created by, and named after, the ex-president of Valentino, Mr V. Bruce Hoeksema, VBH has made fashion headlines with its beautifully crafted yet not overly-commercialized handbags. I do not always like their bags but when it comes to exotic bags, they nail it more often than not. Look [...]
Carlos Falchi is best known for snake skin bags so I was pretty surpised seeing his design in Ostrich, yet it is a pleasant surprise. I love everything about this bag, the color, the contrasting stitches, the Falchi signature unstructure character is also there. The price is a little pricey, in my opinion at USD2,995 [...]
It is like the ultimate messenger bag ever. This is soooo Kelly-ing me…

This might not be the most stunning design of clutches for the next season but the blue python skin is gorgeous, don’t you think? The Gucci signature bamboo and D-ring details are also very well and tastefully downplayed to let the skin shine. Excellent choice for resort parties. Pre-order from your nearest Gucci store or [...]
I am a fan of the Gucci New Jackie but at almost Euro2,000 a pop for the canvas and leather version, I am not sure how well they have been selling around the world yet Gucci is still reincarnating it in not-so-classic (translation: not-so-easy selling) colors such as orange and yellow (gold). I was surprised [...]
I saw the very same bag in beige in Prada ION store about two weeks ago, retailing for SGD10,000 and only one piece available in Singapore. I fell in love. Look at this even more beautiful blue color. Available for order from Bergdorf for USD5,850. Why are things so expensive in Singapore now?

I am not a fan of Rihanna’s doll-up here at the recent Dior’s Paris show but that vintage-inspired croc bag from Dior Couture Fall 2009 and Resort 2010 collection is HOT. Hope it puts the house of Dior back on the bag map.

Bite me! I LOVE Loewe. The brand is as highly respected as Hermes and Bottega in Europe. Isn’t this clutch just Loewe-ly?

I have to admit that Gucci’s crocodile skins, together with Hermes’ are among the best in the world. When you have the perfect skin and perfect coloring and treatment to the piece of leather, the bag design is best left as simple as possible. This is like THE bag of the Gucci Resort 2010 bag [...]
