Designer Handbags

Red was always a color I strayed from. Lately, I am drawn to it. It is so sexy and sultry. Lately I have also become literally obsessed with Diane von Furstenberg Wrap Dresses. The dresses are easy to throw on and very flattering. I wasn’t aware of the beautiful DVF accessories. The Diane von Furstenberg Red Convertible Bag combines slouchy with stylish. The body is ponyhair and the bag is trimmed in leather. There is a hammered brass ‘love knot’ which is based off out the DVF H. Stern Jewelry Collection. Pockets are what make this bag spacious and roomy- there are two side pockets and a front pocket with a diagonal flap closure. Pricey yes, beautiful yes - Buy it from DVF online for $1190.

While most of us continue to sweat in this summer heat, the fashion world is releasing their fall bags already. What can I say other than I’m looking forward to the leaves changing colors and a bit of a breeze. First, we will dive into the Prada Fall Handbags.

First take a gander at the Prada Shearling Tote w/Fox Trim. I know the animal lovers out there will not be head-over-heels for this bag, but for Fall it is casual cute. This cinnamon brown shearling tote is meticulously adorned with decorative appliquГ©s and trimmed with white fox trim. Sizing up at 12ВЅ”H X 15Вѕ”L X 4Вј”W the tote is finished off with double handles and adjustable tabs cover top on the sides. Available to be pre-ordered for a hefty $2375 via Saks.

Next we have the subtly chic Prada Cervo Antic Satchel. This satchel is designed from supple brown deerskin which is antique finished along with goldtone buckle detail on the handles. There is also a goldtone signature logo on the front, a detachable Prada ID tag, and a detachable shoulder strap. This strap will come in handy for the days that you need some relief from carrying the handbag with your actual hands. Measuring 9Вѕ”H X 17″L X 5″W, this bag is also available for pre-order through Saks for $2450.

Rounding out the bunch, although there are many more, is the Prada Cheetah Print Hobo. This hobo lets us know that animal print is not out, quite the contrary, it is being seen all over the place for fall. This hobo features a cheetah print on calf hair and shows off a buckle detailed shoulder strap along with extended side tabs. There is a detachable ID tag and this wild hobo closes with a magnetic snap closure. Measuring 11Вѕ”H X 15″L X 4Вј”W, can you dig it? Buy it through Saks for $1850.

If there is one thing I’ve learned in the past year since the opening of our Purse Forum, then it’s that there is no crowd more obsessive, determined, fanatic and crazy such as the Balenciaga crowd. These women would literally kill for some of these bags, the past season’s discontinued colors seems to be particularly sought after. It’s nuts! Balenciaga women need their own Balenciaga way, no questions asked.

One more reason why the Balenciaga Forum is so bloody busy. The Bbag creators are very strict about keeping their bags exclusive, which means that there is really no online stores that sell them… which usually leads to many ladies waiting for months until their most-wanted style and color appear in an authentic eBay auction and *BLAM* they go for the kill like they’d been starving through a winter hybernation. This is the reason why our moderators suggested the installation of an extra section for the fellow Bbag fanatics to point out last minute auctions on Bbags, which is a unique treatment and I was more than happy to give it to them.

Crazy bunch. In a good way, of course. It’s still hysterical for me to sit here and watch the crowd go ape sh*t. Only the Louis Vuitton ladies are struct with a similar, obsessive complexion. But if it came down to it, the Balenciaga ladies would take the pot home.

P.S. Now that I think about it, the Hermes Forum has quite the tough crowd, too.
