Fendi Leather Spy Bag


I get emails constantly about where someone can find a Spy bag; and today I have an answer. Thanks to spiralsnowman on the forum, we have been pointed towards Saks which is now taking pre-orders for the beloved Fendi Leather Spy Bag. But this Spy would need you to be quite the patient handbag enthusiast. The Spy is expected to ship 4/14/2006. Available in both honey and black (I have the honey which is absolutely gorgeous!!!), these Fendi bags are crafted from ultra-rich leather with woven double top handles and wristlet accent. The hardware that accents this bag is goldtone. My two favorite parts of the bag are the hidden coin purse with snap closure and the fold-over flap closure with wristlet action. I am still working on putting some small things in my hidden coin purse! This bag is big enough o fit quite a bit of things, measuring 10″H X 16″L X 5″W. Join the Spy lovers group (I’m in it



) and place yourself on the waiting list via Saks for $2075.

Isabella Fiore “Flower Child” April Handheld Bag



Not that I believe I am the all-knowing, but there is a thing or two that I do know. And one of those things is that this bag is completely hideous. Miss Fiore, what are you on?? The Isabella Fiore “Flower Child” April Handheld Bag makes me a bit queasy. I can’t really even be kind to this colorful mess of flowers spewed onto a bag. So the ‘lucky’ wearer of this bag will be sporting leathers in hues of brown, tan, yellow, blue, green, lilac and cream. It only gets better when you hear that all of these colors are joined together with chain pieces. And if all of that is not enough, there are folkloric painted flowers that will only aid in overwhelming you about 50 times more than before. Adasa says that “you will for sure set off a chain reaction when you strut your stuff wearing one of these beauties”. My guess would be that this chain reaction will mimic falling dominos, as in you will make people drop at the ghastly sight of this flower powered thing. The bags dimensions are as follows; Height at Center is 11″; Length 2″ up front base is 16.5″; Width at center base is 1.5″. Jump on the pre-order list if you are looking for that ‘chain reaction’ through Adasa for $650.

Theory Park Sak Combo Hobo


One of the most exciting things is to see that a designer has begun to dabble in the handbag world. Ok, maybe it is not actually one of the most exciting things for everyone out there, but I sure get a kick out of it. Theory has recently begun to try their luck with handbags, after much success with their apparel. The Theory Park Sak Combo Hobo breaks into the fashion world with linen and leather. Simplicity and luxury is the name of this hobo. The cream linen is offset with black luxe leather trim and has a wrapped double shoulder strap. If you are in the search for a simple bag with lots of storage, Theory has geared this bag towards you. There is two side, one front, one back, and one inside zip pocket. Could you really ask for more when it comes to storage? I don’t think so. Lined in canvas and measuring 10½”H X 16½”L X 5½”W this hobo is available for pre-order via Saks for $495. What do you think about Theory’s introduction line to the world of handbags and purses? Personally, this simple bag is simply chic.
