Sometimes I forget how inexpensive synthetics are. Here is one that almost got me. The Nine West has Dansside Clutch Handbag for $29.99 along with a $10 off coupon code “NWHANDBG” plus an extra 25% off in cart which comes out to $14.99 with free shipping.
I hope you’re wearing green so you don’t get pinched by the leprechauns! If you don’t have anything green to wear, not to worry! You can get this beautiful vintage Chanel Deep Green Quilt Camera Tassel Bag at Portero. Even though this is labeled as a camera bag (the dimensions are 5.25” by 7.25” by 3”), I would still use it as a quick going out bag. It is made of a beautiful shade of green quilted suede with gold hardware and gold chain shoulder straps that measures 20.25” in droplength. This bag has a top zipper closure with black leather interior that has one zipper pocket and the exterior has a magnetic flap over pocket to add for convenience. I’m loving this bag!! You can get it at Portero for just under $1000 if you don’t mind the very minor wear.
St. Patty’s Day – The perfect drinking excuse.
Green, leprechauns, pots of gold and green beer. What more can you get from this day? I’m normally not a big fan of green, but in the sprit of the holidays, I’ll find something green to sport.
Here I present Bottega Veneta’s Lizard Knot Clutch. So the color is really a fluorescent yellow, but doesn’t it look lime green to you? Although it is a brighter shade of green than the darker green you’re use to seeing on St. Patty’s Day, it will add a splash of color to any outfit. Just pair it with any black dress and the statement piece will draw any attention to your conservative outfit.
If you’re interested, you can purchase this piece of work at Net-a-Porter for $1,980.
Happy St. Paddy’s Day and drink up!
I was just informed by RIONI that a launch of a new collection will be available to the market next month.
The name of this new collection by RIONI is “Bliss”. Well, it’s actually only one purse which comes in 5 different colors (cream white, fusia pink, onyx black, honey yellow, mud brown). The body consists of baby lamb skin leather. This type of leather is one of a kind, for it gives these handbags an extremely soft feel. These bags also come with an additional longer shoulder strap too.
What do I think about these handbags? I absolutely adore them. They are so stunning and cute! However, I wonder how much these bags will cost? I guess, I will have to wait until next month to find out.

Now that we’re in the counterfeits zone, here’s another story: Burberry is now suing TJX Co. that owns TJ Maxx and Marshalls for selling counterfeits in mass quantities. This designer label claims to have found counterfeit polo shirts at Marshalls. Supposedly, Burberry was nice enough to give them a chance to remove all their counterfeits items however the retail store rejected the gesture and continued selling more infringing clothing, luggage, scarves and even photo frames! With the counterfeits bearing one or more Burberry marks, many people shopping at TJ Maxx thought they were buying the real deal for a steal. Now Burberry is accusing TJX Co. of “attracting their target customer base and profiting at Burberry’s expense”. Watch out for what you’re buying!!
I suppose Target is in the clear for now.
After suing Target for selling handbags similar to the trademark Coach design, Coach has now attacked Kmart for selling luggage very similar to Coach’s trademarked “C”s. Coach filed the lawsuit March 4 and claims Kmart has misappropriated their designs of featuring four “C”s arranged in a square pattern. While Coach suitcase and satchel generally run about $500 and $350, not $79.99 at Kmart. Coach hopes that the lawsuit will stop the sale of counterfeit bags.
Better think twice about stealing other people’s designs. Don’t want a big company like Coach suing you for every penny you have.
Yesterday, I went to take a look at what was new for Spring from Prada. One of their new handbags consists of a completely beige body with matching handles. Let’s look into a little further, shall we?
The new Spring Prada bag is made of light beige colored calf buckskin leather matched with silver metal hardware. Included with the bag is a shoulder strap. The handbag measures 14W” x 14H” x 4D”. The bag has one zipper pocket and one pocket with button. The handbag closes with a magnet. So, what do I think?
Well, the handbag is nothing special. I don’t think it is worth spending $1,500.00 USD for this Prada handbag. That’s my take on it. Ciao for now!
I was browsing Prada’s new spring runway line, and this cute satchel caught my eye. It’s called the Plex Mistolino Satchel. It’s made in fume plex, with linen trim and plex crystal detail. I just love the flex crystal detail! It has a snap closure and measures 15″H x 7″W x 8 1/2″D.
It’s great for a night out on the town, but maybe not so great on the wallet. You can preorder it at Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Avenue for the price of $2,395 and expected to ship no later than April 7, 2010.
