Bottega Veneta Chain Strap Leather Handbag



Recently a thread was started on the Purse Forum asking for help finding a black bag. Instead of posting my response on the forum, I’m going to do it on the site because I have found a black bag that I truly love. Bottega Veneta became the new love of my life this summer while vacationing in Europe. Sometimes you have to see a bag in person to truly appreciate its beauty. Their bags are intricately designed and made of the supplest leather. This may sound so cliche, but I can’t help but sound that way when talking about these bags. The Bottega Veneta Chain Strap Leather Handbag shows off both the woven leather and beautiful leather on the main part of the bag. This black beauty has a valley zip opening for the main compartment, and then playfully intertwines woven leather trim at the corners, on the straps, and running along the top of the bag. The inside of the bag adds some hidden color with its lime green suede and inside pouches. To add a little glitzy and glam, the shoulder straps are done in gold chain. Sizing up at 30cm x 17cm x 11cm, this is the black bag I would suggest!! But, my suggestion may remain just a suggestion, with the designer price tag of $1150 via Net-A-Porter.

Twelfth Street Suede Studded Shoulder Bag



To be seen on the road less traveled is not always a bad thing. Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent has designed a bag that screams out shape, style, and function. Cynthia’s Twelfth Street Suede Studded Shoulder Bag stands out from the ordinary bags out there. This shoulder bag is a studded standout. Although suede is not easy to keep clean, every lady should have at least one suede bag in her collection. Let’s discuss this huge bag. We are talking about size, size, size. With a height of 16″, depth 1-5″, width 13″, and shoulder strap drop of 10″, this bag is surely in a league of its own. Then there is the fun part- lotsa studs! Detailing is in style, especially stud detailing. This bag is sure to be a hit with its shiny purple studs which are stylishly placed in a geometric floral pattern on the bags front. The bag has a magnetic top closure and an inside pocket. Bigger is not always better, but in this case it sure may be. I think bags like this take a certain person to pull it off, but I know you are out there- and you will rock this bag like itГў€™s your job! If I’m talking about you, hop on over to Sun Walters and buy this bag for the marked down price of $174.99.
