Isabella Fiore Cut-Out Leather Hobo


It has been a while since Viewer’s Choice Monday has graced us all with its presence! (Don’t forget to email me or post in the forum what you would like to see!!!) Thanks to Heidi for writing in for her choice. Heidi has been reading long enough to know that I am not the biggest fan of Fiore, but wants to know my opinion on this Fiore bag. The Isabella Fiore Cut-Out Leather Hobo is not completely my taste, but is definitely one of the better Fiore’s I have seen in a while. The cut-out style of this bag adds some dimension and evens out the possibility of the bag being too over-the-top. For the underlay, there is bronze which shows through the cutouts and perforations. On top of the underlay is, of course, the overlay (lame attempt at a joke, I know) of brown Italian leather with tan topstitching and vintage brass hardware and stud accents. Pulling the bag together is a zip top with tassel ( I think I would chop the tassel off, it is too much for me), shoulder strap with rings, a tab with a buckle at the bag’s base, and measures 10″H x 17 1/2″W x 2″D. Do you like the bag? Let both Heidi and I know! If you do, buy this through Neiman Marcus for $465.

Michael Kors Camo Desert Shoulder Bag



Let’s hop into this President’s Day with a little American spirit (here is where all of you who are politically correct may cringe a bit…) Nevertheless, a camouflage bag has a bit to do with President’s Day, don’t ya think?? Yea, just humor me… I have been really sick and all these meds can not be good for coherent sentences and thought processes. Starting off this holiday Monday is the Michael Kors Camo Desert Shoulder Bag. The bag is functional the style is funky. Along with the camo print, there is dark brown leather trim with tonal topstitching which is set off by golden hardware. For a little more storage, which I find I always need, there are two front buckle-flap pockets. The shoulder strap has ample room for you to adjust it to fit it loosely under your arm with golden clasps. Finishing off this bag is a drawstring top with studded leather loops, which ensures that your goodies will not fall out unless they are very very small. If you are into camo and into President’s Day, pre-order this bag via Bergdorf Goodman for $795.
