Foley + Corinna Drawstring Hobo
I have always like Foley + Corinna handbags. But lately, I have been feeling kind of disappointed in their designs. I mean, come on! Metal mesh? Ick! In my opinion, the Foley + Corinna brand is at its best when they stick with a classic shape and a solid colored leather. It truly is the formula for perfection! That’s why I really like the Foley + Corinna Drawstring Pouch Hobo!I love the classic hobo shape combined with a drawstring closure, giving the appearance of heavy pleating. Plus the cords from the drawstring hang down like cute little tassels when the bag is drawn up tight. This bag also has another feature that I really love — exterior pockets! Located on the sides of the bag (= quick and easy access), these vertical zip pockets are the perfect place to hold your keys and cell phone. That’s right, there will be no desperate fishing for that ringing cell phone with this lovely bag! And, to top it all off, this bag is also versatile in its wear. It comes with a longer, detachable shoulder strap just in case you grow tired of carrying this bag by its shorter handle. This would definitely make a great daytime bag!The Foley + Corinna Drawstring Hobo is currently available in either Indigo (shown) or Camel: Foley and Corinna Handbags at Bloomingdales!Or find it in Black or Carmel Here at ShopBop!

Lena Erziak Andrea Hobo Bag
There is simply so much talent and creativity in the world of handbag designers that it is truly a blessing to be able to talk about some of the newer designers offering future classics! Lena Erziak is a fantastic brand which features striking designs, a stunning range of colors and quality fabrications. The product of sisters Leona and Hasna Erziak with a multi-cultural background of a Belgian Moroccan family of artists including a seamstress and a potter. The process of design and understanding of construction was simply something they absorbed during their childhood.The sisters developed their line in Italy, utilizing on the finest craftsman and materials. Their first collections focus attention on interior and exterior finish, different shapes and sizes to complete a refined and luxurious collection of handbags. The epitome of this effort is the Andrea shoulder hobo handbag.The Andrea takes a classic and casual shape to the next level of sophistication. The sleek silhouette features well-balanced dimensions with a handle that is designed to be more comfortable in the hand than some other hobos might be. A rectangular flap closure accented with gold logo plate is just the right size to not be difficult to use and provides a classic element. The angled zippered pockets create a striking design feature and accessibility to the most important items you carry like your phone or credit cards. The oversized tassle element creates instant visual “punch” and movement.The interior is fully lined with a hidden coin pocket and key organizer. You’ll appreciate it’s roomy but not overly large size of 13″ x 12″ x 2″. While I love this beautiful cream color, it is also available in a yummy blue or purple suede. And the colors are rich and vibrant! Their bags are available at Stella Filante as the retail location. 156 Ludlow St, NY NY as well as other locations! Check out their other styles Chat: Lena Erziak Andrea!

PRADA MADE IN
Prada has a created a unique global luxury capsule collection that honors Mario Prada and his quest to?collaborate with exquisite artisans to produce modern, innovative designs utilizing the traditional techniques of a specific region.In the early decades of the twentieth century, Miuccia Prada’s grandfather, the visionary Mario Prada, travelled the world in tireless pursuit of ideas and inspiration. His goal was not only to discover the most luxurious materials, exotic skins and sumptuous fabrics, but also to locate sophisticated craftsmen and manufacturers to realize his revolutionary designs. His adventures uncovered Alsatian and Austrian leatherwork, Bohemian crystals, Asian “galusciĆ ”, English silver-smithing, as well as rare ivory, tortoiseshell, ebony and precious stones from every corner of the globe. Mario Prada became the ultimate gentleman-connoisseur: a man of exquisite taste and unflagging curiosity who knew exactly how, where, and by whom, a specific design could be perfectly produced. This spirit of the curious connoisseur remains at the heart of Prada, especially in the age of globalization, where geographic and cultural borders disappear. Remaining faithful to these ideals, the company continues to identify those specialized craftspeople that represent an unrivaled standard of excellence.The collections are identified by a special “Prada Made In” label dedicated to each country of origin: Tartan wool kilts from Scotland; collection of handmade embroidery flats, sandals and bags from India; Jeans produced by Dova (worlds highest rated denim manufacter) that come custom ordered in four different varieties of cloth and seven different washes from Japan; Alpaca wool knitwear from Peru.Pictures below…#gallery-2 {margin: auto;}#gallery-2 .gallery-item {float: left;margin-top: 10px;text-align: center;width: 33%;}#gallery-2 img {border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;}#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {margin-left: 0;}

Color Trend Alert: Lime Green Handbags
I realize that we haven’t even gotten past Christmas yet, but it’s never too early to think about Spring (at least for me anyway)! And what better way to think about Spring than a nice Spring-y color on a handbag? Let’s see, what would be a good color? Ah yes, Lime Green! It’s the perfect color for putting a little spring in your step! But don’t worry about looking out-of-season in the middle of Winter. As my fellow TBFer Jess pointed out, Lime Green is the hot color for Christmas this year as well. It looks so fresh in that classic red-green combo! And it will look just as fresh with your Winter wardrobe and carry you all the way into Spring! So give Lime Green a chance, you will find that it looks stunning on a handbag! Just check out these beauties I have pictured below!Diane von Furstenberg Belle Ruffle Evening Bag in CitronNothing screams DVF more than something that sits a little bit outside of the box! I love the cute ruffles adorning the front side of this clutch. Plus the studded leather trim adds just enough edge so you don’t feel overwhelmed with “fluff”. The perfect accessory for all those holiday parties!$365Bottega Veneta Shopping Intrecciato Leather Tote in Lime GreenWho doesn’t love Bottega Veneta’s signature intrecciato weave?
