Goldenbleu 'Luella' Frame Pocket Tote 2007-03-22 14:29:00 Bagaholic Babe is usually a fan of White bags with gold hardware, but this time around, I favour the Black! For those of you know me well enough will know that I've never favoured black bags and don't have a single Black bag in my closet. But alas, the winds of change have blown my way, but I have a feeling that it's an isolated situation though. Goldenbleu

'Cecily' Flap Satchel
This structured 'Cecily' Flap Satchel by Tracy Reese
, is the ultimate functional bag. With its abundance in exterior zip and flap pockets, apart from Cream (shown) this bag also comes in Black and Orange. Bagaholic Babe likes the way the bag is designed, for it isn't common for bags to look like this nowadays. So, yes, Bagaholic Babe likes the old school Vintage-y feel that this bag exudes. However, the downside to this bag is that it's a little on the bulky side. Get this Tracy Reese piece for $795 via Nordstrom Read more:Tracy

YSL Rive Gauche Bag 2007-03-20 15:09:00 Could this be YSL's next 'It' Bag after the 'Muse'? If you fell in love with YSL's 'Muse' Bag, then this one will surely set your heart on fire! This Rive Gauche Bag stays true to the brand's Luxe appeal.With the turn-lock on the front, this YSL Rive Gauche Bag is similar to the 'Muse'. Perhaps the only difference is the shape, with the Muse looking llike a Bowler bag, while the Rive Gauche bag looks more like a satchel with a flap closure. Made of Cheverette leather with goldtone hardware and a detachable shoulder strap (for the option of wearing it crossbody), this bag comes in 3 colours - White (shown), Chocolate and Black. In Bagaholic Babe's opinion, the Rive Gauche looks best in White, Chocolate probably gives it a Vintage feel whereas Black is the most versatile. Whichever colour you choose, for a YSL piece from the Rive Gauche Collectiion, it's surprisingly affordable, at just $1,795! Hop on over to Saks to get your very own luxe bag!

Marc by Marc Jacobs Faridah Hobo 2007-03-19 16:52:00 It's not often that Bagaholic Babe favours a piece from the Marc by Marc Jacobs
line. No, not because it hasn't got enough 'snob' appeal, but rather, I've never really found the line very interesting. This bag, however, caught my eye! It was so beautiful and classy (thanks to the gold hardware!) that I'd actually mistaken it for a Marc Jacobs
Collection piece instead! And believe me, I know my bags, and with one look, am able to identify the designer... but this time around, even I was stumped when faced with this stunner!Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Faridah' Hobo in ChalkThis white hot 'Faridah' Hobo is the perfect casual day bag and work bag. It's fashion and function all in one bag - something very rare these days as designers usually favour one or the other. Stow your stuff in this multipocket and multi-compartment bag. Plus, it's white so it goes with absolutely everything in your wardrobe! Also, not fogetting that White is THE colour of this Spring/Summer 2007! ;) However, i

Vuitton's Monogram Canvas Line and the Epi Leather LineLouis Vuitton Monogram Rivets Pochette We've seen Murakami/Marc Jacobs Collaborations for Limited Editions Pochettes - Monogram Cerises, Monogram Sakura, Monogram Panda, Marc Jacobs Monogram Perfo etc. This time around, the Pochette has been vamped up with an exterior zippered pocket and much more gold hardware - with LV's Logo Plaque in Gold (that was first seen in their Antigua Collection), and Studded Rivets..hence, the 'Rivets Pochette'. Like any LV Pochette, the shoulder strap can be detached and extended. Get this for $675 via eLuxury Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Beverly MM The 'Beverly' comes in 3 sizes - The MM (small) GM (large) and the XXL. In Bagaholic Babe's opinion, the 'Beverly' is for a more mature woman as it has a tendency to look rather "aunty-ish" on youth and gals in their twenties (perhaps due to the top flap with logo engraved push-lock closure?)

With the Reds and Navy Blues, this Floral Embroidered 'Positano' Tote is just so rich in tone, texture and colour, it's simply irresistible! For canvas with Red Chiffon Embroidered Flowers, and a detachable satin scarf, it's definitely a splurge at $3,550! Hurry, Pre-Order this now via Saks today!

Presenting: YSL Fall/Winter Collection 2007 2007-03-16 14:20:00 Hm, YSL didn't have many bags to show this Fall/Winter 2007. In fact, just one! With Exotic Skins as the focus for so many designers we have seen thus far for their Fall/Winter 2007 Collections. Most Designers are favouring Ostrich Skin this season, but for Hermes and Yves Saint-Laurent, the Crocodile Bag is favoured.

, as featured in US Vogue and received rave reviews in the month of her debut.

Lisa Kingsley utilises only Exotic Skins, particularly Ostrich, Cobra and Python, and comes out with a new bag style every month.

Presenting: Pucci Fall/Winter Collection 2007 2007-03-15 14:16:00 As we can see from Pucci
's Fall/Winter 2007 Collection at Fashion Week, the invisible thread that sews the whole collection together is geometric prints (specifically, rectangles) and lots of wood, earth tones and clutches (Clutches seem to be a favourite with the designers these past few seasons). Hmm, it is quite ironic really, for Pucci has always been known for its signature abstract swirls of colour...Why is it when all the designers are experimenting with brighter colours this Fall/Winter 2007, Pucci seems to be veering towards an earthy-toned collection? And geometric rectangular shapes in favour of its abstract prints? Hmmm...I wonder. Read more:Winter Collection

Presenting: Gucci Fall/Winter Collection 2007 2007-03-14 13:16:00 Again, that Old World Charm vibe is everpresent in this collection like so many other designers' F/W Collections this year and Gucci
is no exception.Gucci's Fall/Winter Collection
2007 at Fashion Week showcased a collection of bags similar in shape to Gucci's classic range of Boston Bags. In fact, it's safe to say that the main focus of Gucci's entire Fall/Winter Collection 2007 was on this Bag. Ditching the brand's signature Logo 'GG' monogram in favour of a diamond-shaped design running throughout the bag on the canvas ones, this bag is also available in Alligator. In Bagaholic Babe's opinion, with the chunky leather trims and Golden logo Medallion, This season's oversized Boston bag seems more apt for the more mature jet-setter. Hmm, this last standalone Hobo seems more ME compared to the rest of the Collection.
Presenting: Chloe Fall/Winter Collection 2007 2007-03-13 08:52:00 Presenting Chloe
Fall/Winter Collection
from Fashion Week. Since Chloe's 'Silverado', a series of 'It' Bags have been unleashed season after season, so much so that we seem to expect an 'It' Bag to be featured every season. The Silverado, The Paddington, the Edith, and the Bay Bag from this year's Spring/Summer Collection. However, this Fall/Winter Collection has been rather disappointing, as it looks like it's catering to a much more mature audience (read 'aunty-ish'). Hence, I do not forsee a possible 'It' Bag, or something even remotely close to achieving 'It' Bag status. As I mentioned earlier, like Exotic skins, that Old World Vintage look from the Second World War Era seems to be back - We saw it with Marc Jacobs's Fall/Winter Collection 2007 and Dior's Fall/Winter Collection 2007 amongst others. However, I must say that those have modern twists to it. The bags from Chloe's F/W Collection 2007, however, seem as if they've been taken straight out from the WW2 Er

'IT Bag' Timeline 2007-01-07 03:45:00 The bags of the seasonEarly 1990s - Prada's nylon knapsack With its plain style and designer label placed on the outside, the nylon knapsack let people who thought they were too cool to show off to - show off.Late 90s - Fendi's Baguette bag Too small, too expensive, too flash by half, the baguette was the inevitable bag of 1999, warning us all of the bling-bling apocalypse to come.2000 - Christian Dior's Saddle bag Shamelessly ritzier sorts paid out hundreds of pounds to wear a saddle on their backs. Yes, a saddle. An ironic homage to Helmut Newton or the nadir of misogyny as fashion? The jury is still out.2001 - Balenciaga's Lariat bag Small and simple, and with an appeal utterly incomprehensible to anyone not obsessed with fashion, this bag became a victim of its own success when the Wags adopted it.2004 - Mulberry's Roxy bag The bag that made the once staid fashion label into one of Britain's trendiest and most successful designer brands.2005 - Chloe's Paddington bag It has Read more:Timeline
Rise of the 'IT Bag' 2007-01-05 03:22:00 Carried away Fashion used to be about clothes. Now, it seems, women would rather splash out on expensive designer handbags - like this £760 bestseller from Marc Jacobs. Hadley Freeman investigates the rise and rise of the 'It bag' Wednesday November 22, 2006The Guardian UK Earlier this year, something rather seismic happened in the world of retail. On a quiet street in west London, a boutique moved its front door. Tom Chapman, owner of the designer chain store Matches, decided that, after several years of the front door opening into the clothing department, it needed to be moved a crucial couple of yards to the left in order to open into the shoes, bags and sunglasses. A minor adjustment, certainly, but this architectural shift reflects and echoes one in the fashion industry: clothing is now the afterthought; it's bags and shoes that come first. "There's been a real shift to accessories for customers and so I realised that it was important for the customer to be confronted with a

Hobo in Black. However, if you ask Bagaholic Babe, I much prefer the one in 'Bisque' (Cream) above. Yup, Bagaholic Babe isn't a fan of Black bags because although it's versatile in the sense that it goes well with everything in one's entire wardrobe, but let's just say I need my dose of colour. Well yes, I know that 'Bisque' (Cream) is less of a colour than Black, but that coupled with the Gold hardware just does me in! Anyway, whether you like it in Black or in 'Bisque', both colours are available.

Givenchy Leather Shopping Tote 2007-03-24 00:46:00 Well, I don't know about you gurls, my fellow BagAddicts, but what's the first thing that comes to mind when you look at this bag?GivenchyLeatherShopping
ToteFor Bagaholic Babe, the first thing that comes to mind is that this Leather Shopping Tote by Givenchy looks like: A. the top bit of a Dungaree/Overalls B. a tank top C. a baby's bib. Honestly, Bagaholic Babe thinks that it looks like all of the above --> a mish-mash of all the 3, really. Yes, made of supple Calf Leather with a leather luggage tag, and made by Givenchy it may be, but err, I wouldn't fork out $1,395 for this Shopping Tote. However, if you think otherwise, it's available via Barneys New York

Jane August Exotic Skin Bags 2007-03-23 14:59:00 (Source: Designer Profile from Jane August
.com)Today, Jane August is steadily emerging as a important new voice in the luxury handbag market, hailed for her original twists on classic looks by The New York Times.A former international fashion merchant and now New York Designer, Jane August takes inspiration for her handbags from her personal experiences and memories: her collection of vintage fashion magazines; classic “finds” in European flea markets; and cherished 50s era photos of her mother dressed for elegant dinner parties. The unmistakable signature of Jane’s collection is the modern sensibility she adds to these classic inspirations by playing with proportion, hardware and material. A contemporary chain handle has the opulent design and polish of a 40’s era link bracelet; a stylishly shaped evening bag is reminiscent of a vintage coin purse. And Jane’s signature, oversized Kings Road bag, inspired by a long-ago purchase at that London market, keeps turning heads in o
