Spotted: Hilary Duff with Marc Jacobs 'Debbie'
2007-03-24 10:41:00
Recently, Hilary Duff was spotted with Marc Jacobs 's Sweet Punk Debbie 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. Get this Marc Jacobs Sweet Punk Debbie Hobo with studs (with adjustable leather shoulder strap) for $1,800 via Barneys New York

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?Given chy Leather Shop ping Tote For 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 i...

Tracy Reese 'Cecily' Flap Satchel
2007-03-22 02:39:00
Tracy Reese '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

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!

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 Jacob s 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...

New additions to Louis 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?) Complete with a rear pat...

Presenting: YSL Fall/Winter Collection 2007

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. The first pic is the front view of the bag and the subsequent pics are of the same bag (but in it's half-open naked glory)(Images via Style)
