Yet another metallic bag for spring! This time, we’re looking at Valentino’s Kid Laminato Handbag, which is made of supple leather that has been finished with a nickel-tone metallic sheen, which has a warm, almost pinkish, cast to it, setting it apart from some of the more harshly metallic bags out there. The hardware is gold, including the signature V adorning the tab closure running over the bag’s top zipper and underneath the rolled leather top handles. Inside, the lining is canvas and has …

Roberto Cavalli Laser Cut Metallic Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Handbags
The view from afar of Roberto Cavalli’s Laser Cut Metallic Clutch just doesn’t’ do the bag justice because the bag has a level of detail that is unmatched by just about every bag we’ve seen this season. The bag is made out of high-quality leather that has been coated to have a mirror-like silver finish. The leather is laser cut into an intricate Asian-inspired pattern, with a number of dragons writhing across the bag’s surface. It has a long metal chain shoulder strap, which … Read more...

Celine Anatomic Bag, Handbag of the Day
Handbags
It’s not entirely obvious as to what, if anything, gives Celine’s Anatomic Bag its name, but it might have something to do with the fact that the design is very user-friendly, though “anatomic” is not the first term that would spring to mind. The bag has a long, rounded body with a top zipper and flap pockets at either end. Each feature allows for easy access. The shoulder straps are wide and flat, made of the same soft leather that the rest of the handbag is made of. It measures 17″L x 7.5″H …
Amy Kathryn Gladiola Handbag, Handbag of the Day
Handbags
Who said purple and green don’t match? Certainly not the two colors that come to mind as being the most complementary but dare I say, it might actually work in Amy Kathryn’s Gladiola Oversized Handbag. Described as eggplant and lime, this colorful weekender or stylish diaper bag features custom print on ultra suede to help break up the strong colors. Made of faux leather, the interior has a zipper and accessory pocket and faux leather changing pad, while the exterior has snap and elastic pockets …
Gucci Indy Large Top Handle Bag, Handbag of the Day
Handbags
Metallics are in for the spring, but an all-metallic bag is more than a little over-the-top for the average person. The Gucci Indy Large Top Handle Bag has metallic accents that are flashy, but not blinding. The silver splashes come in the form of small metal plates at the bottom corners of the bag and rounded metal top handle. The body of the large bag is made of black suede, and is further accented with bright purple piping on the bottom and along the top zip closure, as well as with neon pink …
Kate Spade Sao Paolo Small Coal Tote, Handbag of the Day
Handbags
Introducing a twist to the classic basket weave summer tote, Kate Spade used patent leather for the weave in her Sao Paolo Small Coal Tote. In red, white or orange (pictured), the bag captures a small piece of the flair of one of the most populated cities in the world, Sao Paolo, Brazil. The bag is unstructured and has an open top. There is one interior pocket in the signature larabee dot cotton twill lining, but the rest of the tote remains open and waiting to be packed with books and sunglasses …

The Sun Storm Bag has a classy, but casual look that makes for a great everyday bag that will go with just about anything.

It is trimmed in soft brown leather, including the top flap and rolled handles. There are a total of four pockets - three on the bag’s exterior and one on the silk-lined interior. The bag measures 10.5″H …
Be & D Garbo Leather Beige & Cognac, Handbag of the Day
Handbags
Studded bags often have a rather hard edge, as they tend to rely heavily on black leather as a base. Be & D took a different, slightly softer, approach with their Garbo Leather Beige & Cognac Handbag, which features lots of gold-tone studs on a cream leather base with caramel-colored trim. The bag has adjustable shoulder straps that lay flat on the body of the bag, but roll together at the top of the handles, making them easier to carry. It has a top zip closure and several interior pockets. …
