The Proenza Schouler PS1 and Mulberry Alexa bags might have taken the world by storm but it has also reached the point where the fakes are everywhere. Enter the Carla Mancini top handle bag that is inspired by similar bags as the two. Why is this a HOT bag? Look at that beautiful cobalt color [...]
The signature hobo bag from the designer duo came with its new incarnation that, in a way reminded me of Gucci Techno bags from the last season. Coincidence? Or the case of being inspired Any way, it is a fabulous bag at even more fabulous price tag for USD465. Buy it from Saks.
And this is [...]
Smythson has always been known for its first class stationery, leather goods and cabinet work since it was first established in 1887. Some readers have asked me what other leather goods companies are comparable to Hermes in term of its prestige, craftsmanship and heritage. I have to say that although Goyard, Valextra and Loewe are [...]
This might not be the most outstanding bag of the season but this is a great blend of nice leather, color, shape, classic design and the fact that is comes from a less commercial designer. Also, at USD595, it is a bag worth investing in. If you need a justification.

Hi Purseholic
I am buying a gift for my wife’s 37th birthday. We have been married for 12 years now and I am looking for something rather expensive and special. I am torn between a watch and a handbag. My wife wears a Seiko watch which I bought for her 5 years ago. She also owns [...]
Owning a few clutches is essential to a girl’s wardrobe. The thing is, it is actually not as easy as what you might have thought to find a suitable one so when you come across a good one, invest in it immediately! Look at this simple, classic and beautiful Elaine Turner Sierra Clutch! It is [...]
I have been waiting to see what Christopher Kane would do with Versus and its bags. Well, I am not exactly head-over-heels with this bag but younger crowds would have loved it. I would have, ten years ago but I guess my taste has got even older lately (I think I am 40 now). Back [...]
Fancy the Valentino 360 but cannot afford it? Elie Tahari Pebbled Melrose Tote is a great alternative at only less half of the price of the Valentino. It is such a lovely bag on its own and at only USD498, you should consider going for it.

John Galliano made his marks in the 90s by making the newspaper print dresses for Dior which caused a craze around town and fashion community. Carrie Bradshaw famously wore one of the dresses in an episode of the season 3 of SATC. The newspaper print has since disappeared from Dior looks but remains John Galliano’s [...]
Marco Zanini who took over Rochas Creative Direction last year seems not to repeat Theysken mistake during his tenure in Rochas. He launched shoes and bags. I am still not exactly hyped-up with the bag I saw from the Fall 2010 preview here.

I usually do not fancy perforated bags but this Alaïa tote seems to be impeccably executed and very well finished despite its simplicity. It might also due to its smaller holes that do not overexpose what you place inside but overall, it is a nice bag for summer. The price could have been more attractive [...]
I want this as the centerpiece of my living room. Why don’t they send to Singapore?

This does not look like a Pucci bag you would expect but it is still a very nice bag, nevertheless.The Marquise is also available in small size which is more suitable for evening wears. I like the edgy rocker chic details around it. The bag retails for around SGD2,000.

I would have been disappointed with the condition of the bag shipped should I have paid its full amount but at the more than half-off discount I got, I am pretty happy with the bag. The problem is that it had been stuffed into a box so it kinda lost its shape and being made [...]
I am digging this Parisian trunk maker Vynil products. They are young, low-maintenance, inexpensive and definitely exclusive and rare. Here is the story of the brand…
The trunk is the central element of the JRM concept. Made for travel, the JRM trunk is chic and practical. Its distinctive craftsmanship and unique palette of colors [...]
