Jimmy Choo Mave Foldover Clutch
I suppose my repeated love of this clutch is jumping out and telling me to buy it. ‘Quit just staring at me and coveting me’ it says, ‘rather snatch me up!’. Ok, already! You don’t have to twist my arm much. I have covered the Jimmy Choo Marin Clutch many times, [...]

Donna Karan Modern Pisces Soft Tote
November 18th, 2008 — Satchel from Megs @ The Purse Blog
Donna Karan Modern Pisces Soft Tote
I was rather nice to the Donna Karan Modern Aries Bag a while back and most of you that commented thought it was nice. I happen to still like that bag. It has a different appeal, it is rather simple, but the price is exorbitant. Now, Donna Karan is designed [...]

Marc Jacobs Big Heart Zip Clutch
Love him or hate him, we all know Marc Jacobs. I tend to love this man, his designs, his ambition, his talent. There are misses, but between the Marc Jacobs Collection and the Marc by Marc Jacobs Collection (among others), this man has proven himself worthy of praise. Some pieces [...]

D’Angel Lizard Wallet
I had the chance to review the D’Angel Tia Tote, which is the python bag that everyone was going nuts over! Great price, exotic skin, huge bag, too good to be true? Actually, no, in this case it is not too good to be true. It is just too good to pass up. [...]

Marc Jacobs Jen Shoulder Bag
November 7th, 2008 — Satchel from Megs @ The Purse Blog
NYC was damp, grey, and a bit chilly the whole time we were there. I am not complaining, it was actually a welcomed change from the typical sunny blue skies and low 80’s in South Florida. But I couldn’t help but wonder if the weather made every New Yorker, who usually loves to wear black, [...]
Meet the Juicy Girls
November 7th, 2008 — Satchel from Megs @ The Purse Blog
Juicy Couture put their name on the map with the infamous Juicy Couture Track Suit. I bet if you look in your closet you have at least one piece, I have many. The girls behind Juicy did not want to settle with the track suits and began to expand the brand, which has catapulted into [...]

Prada Tessuto Wristlet
November 5th, 2008 — Satchel from Megs @ The Purse Blog
Prada Tessuto Wristlet
Could we go as far as to label this Prada bag a bag deal? I don’t see why not. As much as many Prada bags go a bit too far, are a bit too overpriced, are simply bags with the Prada logo, this wristlet is cute and perfect for so many occasions. The [...]

Vlad and I are in NYC for the week, meeting with designers, looking at showrooms, and overeating at the best NYC joints we can find. As we have been walking around the city, I realized how true the black garb stereotype is in NYC sometimes. Granted it is rather grey and a bit [...]

Even great designers can do wrong. There are some designers who produce bags that I typically adore, and one of these brands is Bottega Veneta. But what happens when a bad look comes from a good brand? The Bottega Veneta Woven Boston is created with multicolor woven leather stripes against black trim. [...]

Michael Kors Big Bow Clutch
Bows on bags are quite the trend right now. I have never been a huge bow girl. Actually, I was never much of a girly girl. Grade school was not filled with pink skirts and ruffles, rather tee-shirts and sports. I have transitioned over the years, and now find myself quite [...]

Fendi Denim Spy Bag
The Fendi Spy bag was once one of the biggest “it” bags of it bag history. Remember the days of it bagdom? I do. Those days have come and gone, for the most part, and now handbags are sought after that have stay power rather than float our boat for 2 weeks. [...]
