Designer Handbags

When I think of summer I am reminded of fruit. My parents home had about 6 fruit trees. My favorite was the grapefruit tree. The branches were filled with huge perfect grapefruit and the branches came all the way down to the ground. We used to have to pull apart the branches to walk in and under the canopy. Yet, being kids, my siblings and i used to spend most of our time throwing the grapefruit at each other. Seemed like a good idea at the time. But those remind me of my summer days. And what better way is there to ring in spring and summer than with fruit? The Dolce & Gabbana Leather Charm Bag is a tote with white leather and offset by tonal stitching. There are top handles with silver metal rings which attach to the base of this simplistic white bag. But the summery fun comes with the tie detail with fruit and logo charms. The cherry and orange charm which attach to the D & G respectively give this bag such a summer feeling that it brings a smile to my face. But like usual, the simplistic bag does not always match itself up with the simplistic price tag. For some reason, this bag is available for $1695 through Bergdorf Goodman.

When I think of Versace I think of ornate. For some reason Versace has never seemed very subtle to me. Because of this many of the Versace bags are more for showy and glamourous wear, then wear to the grocery store. I know I preach about practicality, but I also know beauty. Showing off ritz and blitz on the runway, Versace’s spring line manifests itself with glamour and intricate detailing. The Versace Canyon Medium Denim Croc Bag beams in-your-face style. While not actual croc, this denim and croc-embossed leather bag is accented with gold metal hardware and can not be missed by any passerby. The shape of this bag is alluring and stunning with its knotted rolled leather hardware, diagonal buckesles on the front, straps with buckles on the sides, and front zipped pocket. Finishing off the Versace goodness is the signature Versace plaque and Medusa medallion clasp on the front of the bag. Love it or hate it, Versace continues to make their bags a site that could never be missed. Buy it via eLuxury for $2400.

How do you like your totes? Are you someone who prefers it longer or taller? My preference is for a longer tote, but sometimes a taller tote catches my eye and is also appealing. One of the taller totes that has my attention is the Mulberry Elgin Tote. Mulberry has made its way into many of our hearts and hands and this tote is simple but fashionable with its brass buckles and buckle strap closures. The tote is designed from soft pebble leather and is shown off by contrast stitching. For carrying, there are two shoulder straps with a 71вЃ„4″ drop which should be ample room to fit under the arm. Measuring 131вЃ„4″H X 12″L X 53вЃ„4″W , this tote shows that its height and length are not hugely different, but from an outsiders eye the dimensions seem to be much easier to differentiate. After opening the buckle strap closure, there is a zip pocket and suede lining. I’m a fan of the buckle and strap detailing on this bag. Buy it through Saks for $995.
