Exclusive Katherine Kwei Joyce Carry-All Bag

Sometimes it is hard for me to believe that Katherine Kwei’s handbag line is still in its infancy. After all, the collection was launched just two short years ago. But with all the posts I have seen over at TBF about these handbags, I certainly wouldn’t have known it. Even Jennifer was bitten with the Katherine Kwei bug. I know of at least one bag from this designer that has made its way into her own, personal collection.It turns out, however, that Katherine Kwei isn’t just new to the world of handbags — she is new to Luna Boston as well! And check out this beauty they currently have available for Pre-Order. It’s called the Katherine Kwei Joyce Carry-All. This gorgeous handbag has given the fringe trend a much more refined look. The knotted fringe detail is so elegant and chic. Normally when I think of fringe, I think hippie. However, this beauty is anything BUT hippie! Dress it up or dress it down, it is totally unique and yet perfect for every day use! And the color is absolutely to die for! Of course, I have always been a bit partial to anything teal/turquoise. But I think it looks so lovely on this bag, especially when it is paired with the silvery accents.The Katherine Kwei Joyce Carry-All measures 18″ x 11″ x 6″ and it comes with a 24″ long, adjustable strap. Find it in Teal, Brown, or Black at Luna Boston. It retails for $625.The Chat: Kwei Joyce!

Emilio Pucci Large Printed Canvas Tote

I was thrilled when I ran into this tote bag by Emilio Pucci, thank goodness for prints this fall.A while back I mentioned to you Bagista’s one of the latest pieces to hit the Pucci rack, it was this not so pretty Emilio Pucci Denim Bag. How could I have doubted the House of Pucci, of course they we’re going to feed us some fun and modern prints for the coming season.Vibrant golds with classic black prints are found on the Large Printed Canvas Tote. The prints create an illusion of oversized florals and the distressed appearance creates a vintage vibe to this tote. Besides the updated prints the bag itself seems to have a new look to it. The common canvas Pucci tote lacked the zipped top and exterior pockets that can be found on this newbie, and of course, theirs no complaining to that.Although this piece is not yet available for sale (you can pre-order it instead), I won’t be looking forward to obtaining this tote bag for fall. It’s the cheery colors and flower prints that screams summer to me, as I’d rather give into a luscious dark leather bag with studs instead. If you don’t mind these prints for fall, this newbie retails at $550 and can be purchased: Here @ SaksFifthAvenueThe Chat: Pucci Tote!

Marc Jacobs Studded Stardust Cecilia Satchel

Marc Jacobs has done it again by bringing us another beautiful Cecilia Satchel. This time the satchel is purple and studded. The bag is absolutely gorgeous, but it would of been better if I discovered this bad when the “stud trend” was at it’s height. I’ve always said though, not to follow trends and wear whatever you want at any moment. If you love studs, then you most likely will love this purse.I love this bag, but I think if it came in black with gold studs it would look even more fabulous! Plus, you can match a black handbag with just about anything, whereas you can’t with purple.I think the style and shape of this bag are absolutely amazing, but looks can be deceiving. By looking at the picture of the handbag, I would think that the bag is pretty big, and spacious. When in reality, as soon as you turn the bag to the side you can see how it’s not very wide. It’s obvious you wouldn’t be able to fit much of anything in this bag. Perhaps you could fit your keys, makeup bag, wallet and I’m not sure what else. If this bag was a little wider, it would be perfect!The Marc Jacobs Studded Stardust Cecilia Satchel can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,475, which is a normal price for Marc Jacobs bags. Beautiful bag, I just wish it came in black!See the Marc Jacobs Studded Stardust Cecilia Satchel at: Saks Fifth AvenueThe Chat: Marc Jacobs Stardust!

L.A.M.B. Dorset Barcellon

I love the color black and I love clutches and together they make one hot accessory. I’m absolutely in love with the L.A.M.B. “Dorset Barcellon” , it’s stunning and definitely one of my favorite clutches I have ever seen.I think what caught my eye about this clutch is simply the black and white coloring featured on the clutch. A majority of the leather is black and it’s accented by a single white stripe down the middle of the clutch. I wear mostly all black and white clothes. No I’m not morbid, but something about black and white clothes is stylish to me. When you wear black and white clothes constantly, it’s exciting to see a clutch that matches your wardrobe perfectly!The clutch fits perfectly under your arm and would look amazing with any outfit. It’s labeled in the description on Zappos as an evening clutch but I highly disagree. I think you can carry this clutch around day or night and it will look fabulous either way. For some reason though, I envision it looking amazing with black leggings. Something about this clutch screams leggings to me, but of course that’s just my opinion. It’s a gorgeous clutch and I’m definitely considering purchasing it!The L.A.M.B. “Dorset Barcellon” can be purchased at Zappos for $229, which is a great price for this clutch if you ask me! L.A.M.B. bags are never on the “low side” , so to see this clutch under $500 is amazing! I know I definitely want to add this clutch to my clutch! Do you?See the L.A.M.B. “Dorset Barcellon” at: ZapposThe Chat: LAMB Dorset!

Treesje Port Travel Tote

Brand new for Fall 2009, I present to you the Treesje Port Travel Tote! This lovely tote features unique, debossed port detailing. Who says anchors are a Spring-only motif? I really like the tone-on-tone effect it creates, it is definitely not something you would see every day. And, of course, I just love that gunmetal color. So pretty and perfect for Fall! It’s such a versatile color too, you could wear it with just about anything. So why were my eyes so drawn to this tote? I mean, besides the fact I think it’s gorgeous. Will the lovely bRs be taking a trip sometime soon? This tote certainly would make a great overnight bag, but I have another idea in store for this bag. I’m suspecting that the Treesje Port Travel Tote could easily double as a work tote. It’s certainly large enough (17.5″ x 14″ x 6.5″) and it even comes with a detachable shoulder strap. This tote could easily hold a laptop computer and computer sleeve, along with a few folders or binders. And it would look so smart paired with a fitted, black wool coat and sexy leather boots. So check this baby out and see why so many TBFer’s are crazy for Treesje!The Treesje Port Travel Tote retails for $575. Find it at Luna Boston!The Chat: treesje port!

Marc by Marc Jacobs “Miss Marc” Hobo

I’ve never been a fan of the Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc collection. Something about Miss Marc has never been appealing to me, or fashionable. I must admit though, that I’m eating my words today. I came across the Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc “Small Hobo” today, and I think it’s adorable!I personally don’t care for the color of the bag too much. I’m all about matching my handbags and shoes with my outfit, and I have no purple clothes in my wardrobe. If this bag was available in black, I probably would of snatched one up!In the listing they call this bag a “hobo?” I’m not sure I would label in a hobo, because to me it looks more like a messenger bag. Whatever you want to label it, I do believe this would be a great school bag for a teenager or college student. By the looks of the picture above, it does seem like this bag is spacious. It looks like it’s wide enough to fit school books, notebook, and even a lap top/netbook inside it.As for Miss Marc, she doesn’t look so bad this time. I usually never like the way she looks, but I gotta admit she looks pretty stylish this time around.The Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc “Small Hobo” can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue for $168, which is an amazing price for this bag. It’s not everyday you see a designer bag at that price! It’s a great price for such a cute bag!See the Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc “Small Hobo” at: Saks Fifth AvenueThe Chat: miss marc!
