Designer Handbags

Our favorite, US-based online store eLuxury has kicked off the Spring season with a kickass kickoff sale. A lot of items are on sale, I suggest you head over there and score some deals before it all sells out. Which, knowing eLux, may happen very soon.

On with the sales, check out Banana Republic who is having a huge blowout sale for savings up to 50% off. For affordable handbags, check out the selection that range from $29.99 to $119.99 via Banana Republic Online. Lots of great sales and good prices for fun bags.

Sale: A special disposal of goods at lowered prices. Lowered prices when it comes to high end designer handbags does not equal chump change, but I think many of us have mastered the art of feeling very good about nabbing a sale bag. What do you say when you buy a bag and your significant other asks you the price? “It was on SALE!!” Justification at its finest. On justification sale now at Net-A-Porter are an array of handbags and here are four of my favorite.

Top left is the Chloe Metallic Paddington Tote which is fun fashion hit with its aubergine metallic leather and signature Paddington pockets, hardware and padlock detail. Perfect to add a little glam this beauty is on sale via Net-A-Porter for $1248. To the right of the metallic stunner is the Stella McCartney Large Distressed Canvas Handbag. For your throw around bag, this large blue distressed canvas bag features brass hardware and a zip fastening pocket on the front. Fun and casual, on sale for $597 via NAP.

My second pair of sale items I adore are the Alexander McQueen Fish Scale Mini Novak Bag and the Rodo Evelyn Clutch Handbag. Both of these bags are sexy for a night out with either your girl friends or your man, but both embody a different circumstance and time to be worn. The Alexander McQueen Fish Scale Mini Novak Bag combines sultry red with exotic fish scales and gold hardware. Sexy in a handbag along with sale equals perfect! Via NAP for $849. Lastly, there is the Rodo Evelyn Clutch Handbag, which I have already designated as a hot bag before. Elegant olive material ruches and meets at the rhinestone clasp fastening. Available via Net-A-Porter for $264.

Supple grained leather with tonal top stitching and golden hardware.

$388 via eLuxury!

I am an awful bargain shopper, but when it is easy to save money I will surely take advantage of the situation. Banana Republic is offering 40% off Sandhurst Premium Handbags if you enter the promotion code SANDHURST at checkout. This collection ranges from $79 to $400 and is available through Banana Republic.

While the man has been holding down the Purse Blog fort, I have been holding down a completely different fort. Tropical Storm Ernesto passed by us like a typical South Florida Thunderstorm and nothing much worse. For that we are super thankful. Now while Ernesto makes his way to the Carolina Shore, we have to keep those folks in mind. To ease my nerves I always eat or shop. Both are not the best way to handle stress, but at least the latter does not make my pant shopping experience less pleasurable. It seems like summer has flown by and we are already back to Autumn. One thing that keeps repeating itself for this Fall is ruffles. For a perfect ruched/ruffled bag, Be & D has released a beautiful number. The Be & D Ruffled Bag with Chains combines laced chain link detail with soft ruffled calfskin leather and the signature Be & D studs. The shoulder strap has an 11″ drop which should fit perfectly under your Fall coat and there are inside pockets along with suede lining. The chocolately expresso gets my pick. Measuring 101вЃ„2″H X 18″L X 6″W this bag is available via Saks for $1280.

And to our folks in Ernesto’s path- I hope he is as weak and kind to you as he was to us.
