Vivienne Westwood - Handbag Designers Autumn Winter 2008 2008-08-11 10:41:11 It has been some time since I have looked at an individual handbag designer. Today I want to have a look at one of the most exciting designers in the history of London – namely Vivienne West wood. Now as is to be expected, Vivienne Westwood handbags are not made for someone with a small purse. So if your purse is not massive – like mine – you will have to stick with one of her perfumes like Read more:Autumn

S stands for Surf Beach Bags 2008-08-11 05:04:34 Today I want to look at the most summery of bags – those by brands like Quicksilver, Roxy, Billabong, Rip Curl and Da Kine that stand for the “life is a beach” approach to life – the commercial way. Surfing has seen a great increase in popularity over the last few years and with it surf culture and surfwear including surfy beach bags.
Surfwear is a popular style of casual clothing, inspire Read more:Beach

R stands for the Rock Chick Rebel 2008-08-07 11:30:55 The real rock’n roll babe is subtle and not too overstated. You will look like an imitation rather than the real McCoy (unless you are covered in tattoos!). The Rock look is influenced by many other fashion styles and is a look that is very close to my own heart so I would hope it is something that comes quite naturally to me! ;D
Cool rock’n roll kids these days are often the kids of former r Read more:Rebel

Q – No Queues (Avoiding them by shopping online!) 2008-08-04 03:22:04 Well this is basically going to be an ode to shopping online
. And it is not just because of queues, but achy feet, not having to dig through bins and bins of special offers, being able to compare several shops and products to each other at the same time – especially through price comparison websites – you can compare features too. The time saved in not having to travel into town, the excitemen
Oriental bags (Part 1) 2008-07-14 06:24:12 Oriental
style handbags have this very feminine edge that many other handbags lack. This is down to a combination of the shape and material used in these bags. Oriental handbags either have ornate decorations and beautiful prints and are often made from materials such as silk and satin. If you are opting for an oriental-inspired handbag you should make sure that you do not overkill by dressing in

N is for Nautical style handbags - go sailor!(Part 1) 2008-07-08 08:42:33 What is the nautical handbag style?
Nautical
handbags can have either blue or red and white stripes (or both) or some kind of other marine related design or print like a starfish pattern. They are often made from materials such as canvas and rope. Duffel bags are classical nautical bags as sailors traditionally use them. Sailors used these bags as they prevented their stuff from falling out and th
Let the sunshine in your handbag some more! 2008-06-13 05:44:10 Yesterday we gave you a first glimpse into the new trend of solar powered bags. These should become more popular and more affordable as solar panel technology becomes cheaper. If you have missed out on the first part of the article: It introduced Rosanna Kilfedder’s SunTrap bag and the Solar Beach Tote by the aptly named Juice Bag brand.
Then there are the Noon bags, which as their website stat Read more:sunshine
John Galliano – Handbag Designers Autumn Winter 2008 2008-08-12 10:41:10 To be honest this is the first time for me checking out John Galliano
handbags online so I cannot compare what I see to any of his old handbag collections. It did not take long to make me an instant fan though! I love the newspaper prints that remind me that: “In 2000, he said that he also had found his inspiration for the couture collection of boho-meets-hobo chic he unveiled that January durin Read more:Autumn

Gothic style Autumn handbags/Winter fashion 2008 2008-09-16 09:02:45 I am not sure whether you have heard what some of the coming trends are. Gothic
style clothing is coming back in fashion especially for the ladies. The grown up luxury gothic style is moving in. I think that is quite a fitting development considering the gloomy mood autumn brings along, although I am not sure what the real old-school Goths will think of all the new fashion Goths on the streets!

Red or Dead - Handbag Designers Autumn Winter 2008 2008-09-12 03:16:31 I never really associated Red or Dead with handbags – for me Red or Dead were a brand that made very nice and wacky shoes and I was also aware of their glasses – I now myself own a pair. But recently, on my search for attractive handbags I have stumbled across the Red or Dead bag collection. And in my opinion the Red or Dead handbags are at least as pretty as the Red or Dead shoes.

Buti - Handbag Designers Autumn Winter 2008 2008-09-11 04:11:32 I had never before heard of Buti handbags – until now! As far as I am aware Buti handbags are named after the Buti region in Italy, situated in the Province of Pisa, where, I believe, these beautiful quality leather handbags are manufactured.
Buti handbags are lovely little creations and exude an undeniable elegance with their high-quality leather construction, but it is their details, that mak Read more:Autumn

Yves Saint Laurent - Handbag Designers Autumn Winter 2008 2008-09-10 04:57:51 Last weekend people in distinctive rain-macs were supposed to be giving out free Yves SaintLaurent
Tote bags at ten different locations in London. Not only were there free Yves Saint Laurent
Tote bags being given away, they contained a magazine with a photoshoot depicting Naomi Campbell in Yves Saint Laurent gear.
Of course a clever marketing move, but also still a nice gesture I think: Taking hi Read more:Autumn

Jean Paul Gaultier - Handbag Designers Autumn Winter 2008 2008-09-04 09:57:34 I have been a huge Jean-Paul Gaultier
fan for a very long time. His costume designs for the film "La cite des enfants perdus", lend the movie a whole new level of eiry atmosphere and the same can be said for "The Fifth Element".
What I really admire about Jean-Paul Gaultier is that he has never studied fashion or handbag design, yet he has managed to get where he is today. Instead he sent sketche Read more:Autumn

Chiarugi - Handbag Designers Fall Winter 2008 2008-10-07 10:39:25 Sometimes bags don’t have to be colourful. This week I have grown especially fond of the Chiarugi handbags in brown leather. Maybe it is an autumnal being stirring inside me or something like that, but all week I have been looking at people wearing brown things and carrying brown bags, hell, I have even bought myself some wooden jewellery in my obsession.
For me these brown leather bags represe Read more:Designers

Birdy Num Num - Handbag Designers Autumn Winter 2008 2008-09-25 05:11:19 I have only just discovered Birdy Num Num, but I quite like them. Not only because their name reminds me of one of the catch phrases from I can has cheez burger, a website you will probably know, but if not: cats are cute and talking silly and num num means yummy.
Well, anyway, I am digressing. The brand was started in London in 2000 as a small lifestyle accessories label. Their trademarks are th Read more:Autumn

Vivienne Tams Hewlett Packard laptop purses 2008-09-22 11:35:52 Vivienne Tam is a New York fashion designer. I did not know her before, but she has come to my attention through the way she has embraced a combination of femininity and technology. What I mean to say is that she sent her models on the runway, clutching mini-HewlettPackard
laptops that looked like very pretty handbags. The laptops are meant to be very light and practical. If you are after actual
Matt & Nat – Animal friendly bags 2008-10-27 11:39:49 I was browsing the internet for handbags – as I do - and I stumbled across Matt and Nat’s Vegan Leather handbags – and I thought to myself: “Hang on? Vegan handbags? Do they mean fake leather?” And it turns out yes. This represents their credo: Fashion forward AND vegan. I guess the difference is here that non-leather is the conscious positive choice rather than the cheaper option in pro Read more:Animal
Cath Kidstone handbags - designers fall/winter 2008 2008-10-20 07:15:37 If you are going to meet your prospective mother in law – this is the handbag to take - or maybe not - I am not quite sure. Anyway the Cath Kidston bags remind me of the Laura Ashley curtains my mum has in her kitchen and of a newer more trendier bag-version of the laminated shoppers of old ladies. But at the same time they look very pristine and innocent… so we have a split opinion!

Diesel - Handbag Designers Fall Winter 2008 - and their 30 year anniversary party! 2008-10-14 04:57:08 Diesel S.p.A. – makers of handbags and fashion - are 30 years old this year and in controversial manner are celebrating with some “Dirty 30 parties” that will take place in 17 locations. Just to get an idea of the sort of thing that is expected to happen on a Dirty 30 party (although probably they will be nowhere near this dirty!) they have augmented this 70’s retro porn video.

The handmade wooden bamboo luxury designer 2008-10-09 07:29:27 Not sure whether this is the proper name of the bag designer – or possibly Bamboo A? All I know if that you can buy these Japanese looking handbags (or possibly Thai or something?) online and that they are extremely good value for something so unique and with so much personality - plus I have no idea, but they might break easily, so it is only good that they are cheap. Don't know. Do they look s Read more:handmade
Let a playful handbag brighten up your winter! 2008-11-11 11:03:41 Doing my handbag research I have got very bored recently. How many boring plain old looking handbags do we need? Why would anyone want to carry a handbag that makes them look 10-30 years older (depending on their actual age...)?
So my mission today is to find some nice funky handbags that look youthful, playful and plain fun. Hurrah for colour I think as the weather is getting more and more dismal Read more:winter
Guess - Handbags Designers Fall/Winter 08/09 2008-11-07 05:06:32 Guess handbags are really pretty close up. Something I have never really realised. I have to admit that they are not necessarily exactly my style, but I can understand why someone would find them appealing.
