Designer Handbags Review

Ashton Kutcher must be one of the luckiest men alive. He was recently snapped leading Demi Moore and Penelope Cruz out and about. Seriously?? Two beautiful ladies? Not to mention, read their body language. Ashton leads them as they walk behind both holding his hand. If only Ashton had a third arm, he could lead me too :wink:. And seen in the hand of Penelope, is the stunning Tod’s Capucine Pochette. This new number from Tod’s is a refined black satin clutch with smooth leather trim and an engraved gold metal closure. Buy the clutch via eLuxury for $795. Buy Ashton Kutcher via Demi Moore after asking Bruce Willis. Yikes.

It is a known fact that I am a Bottega Veneta lover. I knew the beauty of the brand a few years ago, but still was missing out on enjoying the delicious and buttery soft leather to the fullest. Go be that person; you know, the person who touches and feels the bags and says “Ohh” and “Ahh” in the handbag department. Tell them I sent you. Wait, actually, don’t :wink:. For a piece of true Bottega Veneta heaven, feast your eyes on the mouth-watering Bottega Veneta Struzzo Intrecciato Bag. The signature woven leather is one-upped, as it is done in exotic supple ostrich. The ostrich adds a bit of texture, without looking overly ‘plucked’. Structured handbags, which we will see much of in the fall, define the clean lines while being able to showcase the smooth leather trim, rich brass hardware, and push-lock closure. For additional outside appeal, there are two outer flap pockets with hook closures. As always, a luxurious bag like this is lined in suede. Dimensions are 12″W x 8″H x 4″D. Be ready for the one piece of info that will make you sigh in a different way. The price is $6520 at Saks. Seeing that it is an exotic skin, would you do it?

If you did not like patent, you better learn to like it. Fall is all about patent leather handbags. I absolutely love the slight bit of edge that patent leather can bring to an accessory. Better yet, it looks super sleek and refined. Miu Miu may be the baby sister of Prada, but does not disappoint when it comes to finding a great bag for a better price many times. The Miu Miu Patent Leather Tote sports black patent leather with slight ruched side panels and gold hardware. The trend for fall is hand held bags that offer a more square dimensions but pack a style punch. There are zip fastening pockets on each side, the option of a shoulder strap, and double top handles. The closure is magnetic stud and the inside is lined in canvas. The price is slightly over the 1k mark; $1095 via Net A Porter.

What is that I see? Pebble-grain leather that looks lush from Marc Jacobs? Ok I am just giving Marc a hard time. We all know that he is a creative genius that merely flops from time to time (sometimes worse and more often than others). But Marc has his groove thing back with the Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr. Q Groovee design. The leather looks divine and sturdy, the brass hardware offers a perfect touch, and the removable flat leather shoulder strap makes the bag convertible and practical. I love the simple touch of the pinktuck pleat detail on the front, back, and side. While the inside is merely lined with textile lining, I am not let-down by it much because the price point is quite low for a well made leather bag. Also the inside features a patch pocket, cell phone pocket, and leather-trimmed zip pocket. Finishing off a new groove, the measurements are 17″x 9.5″x 6″. Oddly delightful from Marc Jacobs. And wait until you catch this price… $498 at eLuxury. Under $500 = a bargain.

You can not tell me that you look at Reese Witherspoon and think she is not cute. Sometimes she looks gorgeous and elegant but all the time she looks cute as a button. Her daughter, Ava, is a complete mini-me, growing up looking just like her mom. It doesn’t hurt that the other part of her genes are from Ryan Phillippe. Last week Reese took Ava for an ice cream run while the paparazzi snapped their every move. Across her body, Reese sported a white Miu Miu Coffer. I imagine that Reese was digging in her bag to find a Purell hand sanitizer wipe for Ava after she finished her ice cream cone. Either way, love the bag and love these two gals.
