Alexander Mcqueen Samurai Print Canvas Tote

I don’t like this bag. Nope. I said it, I don’t. I did try to, but it just didn’t happen.Alexander McQueen Samurai Print Canvas Tote is obviously a creative and interestingprint, but as a whole I think this bag falls flat.The dress in this print is much more realistic and interesting. It is sexy in a very uniqueway and I think, worn with the right accessories, could work.The bag, however, I think is a long shot. I just don’t see myself getting much use outof it to justify its $925 dollar price tag. I mean, how many times have you said toyourself, “You know what would go great with this outfit? My Samurai bag.” Actually,that sounds awesome, but I still don’t think I would wear the bag much.Also, it’s canvas, which is another reason I cannot justify its price tag. I like the idea ofthis bag, but as usual, dreams fall short of reality.Pick up the Samurai bag at Saks for $925.

Oh Alber, how I adore thee. You take a classic hobo shape and update it with a thoroughly feminine yet modern twist. Do not think this is an average suede bag– look closely, do you see what I mean? No? Look even closer, the top is trimmed in gorgeous grosgrain ribbon. I saw it at Barneys and made my girlfriend buy it immediately (friends who shops with me invariably buy a bag, or two, or three). Made of a delectable caramel hued suede, this is a well thought out and executed bag in both form and function (I LOVE that Lanvin bags continually improve with time!). Carrying the Cabeceo hobo is like walking around with a soft and plushy pillow, comfy and stylish (the flat shoulder strap fits securely on the shoulder by the way, you won’t be shifting it around all day long). There is also a black version but only this buttery shade will do for me. Looking at this actually makes me want to drink hot apple cider while strolling through central park– which I’ll be doing tomorrow in NYC! Lanvin Cabeceo GM Hobo for $1,380
