Many of Judith Leiber’s designs are quirky little creations that wouldn’t appeal to most. Her Dora fish is cute, but might make a grown women feel a bit like a child. But this one I like. The Asscher is a compact evening bag with a large Austrian crystal placed front and center. Surrounded by even more crystals, the bag resembles a great, big diamond glowing against a field of black. Lined in satin with a detachable chain, the bag measures …

While perusing through Cole Haan’s site, I came across the Aerin Collection, their new collection for the Fall, which of course you can pre-order and receive by August 20th. What concerned me is that their Large Convertible Tote from the Aerin Collection (seen on the left) looks a lot like the Convertible Tote from their Paige Collection (seen on the right). Luxist featured the Paige Tote back in December 2006. And its an awesome bag, I use mine pretty much every day and it works …

An everyday bag, a shopping tote and a bag for your travels - this could be your functional, all purpose and not too flashy tote to meet all your needs. I’ve been trying to make more of an effort to be conscious to re-use bags or just carry my own when I am running errands. Instead of carrying something that is not aesthetically pleasing or matches my outfit, this would a great alternative. And yes, I am that vain that in my attempts to be more earth friendly, …

The strap on this bag brings to mind finely carved wood. Of course, the handle is leather, but the top-stitching gives it dimension and is an attractive detail. The bag itself is a beige Dior logo jacquard fabric with a contrasting leather trim on the zippered top. The Dior logo makes another appearance, etched into the decorative accessory on the front of the bag, accented with silver-tone rings. With minimal silver-tone hardware on the buckles, …

About those pockets - this bag sports exterior magnetic flap pockets on either side, a hidden exterior zip pocket and interior flap, zip and cell-phone pockets. With the inclusion of protective metal feet, this bag has everything you need and good looks, …

Let’s head southwest, shall we? King Ranch, located in my home state of Texas, is the largest ranch in the United States, covering 825,000 acres. In addition to ranching and farming, the modern-day King Ranch is also home to the King Ranch Saddle Shop, offering a collection of high quality leather goods, including luggage, clothing, saddles and, of course, bags. This sturdy tote is made from durable leather accented with a natural turquoise set …

Care to go designer handbag shopping at the local museum?

Wait…what?

Not just any local museum will do, but if you’re in the vicinity of the Museum of Contemporary Art in L.A. you can totally go do that. Or you will be able to, once their exhibit honoring Japanese artist Takashi Murakami opens at the end of October. From October 29th to February 11th the museum will have high-end Louis Vuitton handbags and other pricey leather goods available for sale.

It is not your imagination - this bag is short. Measuring only 5 inches tall, what it lacks in height it makes up for in style. The over-sized gold-tone metal logo emblem adds a lot of punch, with two smaller versions attached to the two-way top zippers. The body of the leather bag is softly pleated and gathered on each end. Cotton lines the interior, which features zip, wall and cell phone pockets. At 17 inches long and 6 inches deep, it is a nice …

Has this ever happened to you? You are at the airport, standing in the never ending line that is moving like molasses, thinking you have all day to take out your plastic bag of 3 ounce liquids, boarding pass and passport so you decide to play Brick on your phone so you don’t die of boredom while you wait. But then you look up and you are only two people away from the security guard asking you to show your plastic bag of 3 ounce …

Black patent leather trims the strap, the flap and continues around the bottom of the bag. The very long shoulder strap makes it perfect for carrying across your body when you need to keep your hands free and the simple flap closure can …
