Tods G-Bag Bauletto Satchel
I’ve always liked Tod’s handbags. They’re always so stylish, but never over-the-top. A current favorite is the G-Bag Bauletto Satchel. It’s made of coated canvas with contrast leather trim.

I like the bag’s classic ‘bowling bag’ shape and it’s eye-catching red color. It’s perfect for a day about town.The handbag’s dimensions are 12″W X 9″H X 7″D. Tod’s G-Bag …

Jimmy Choo Patent and Suede Shoulder Bag
I might have been a couple of times after seeing some of his handbags that Jimmy Choo should stick to shoes. But then he’ll come out with some fabulous handbag, and I eat my words every time. That’s exactly what happened when I saw his patent and suede shoulder bag. I love its slightly unusual boxy shape and I love how the gold tone hardware and the gray patent and suede combination complement each other. Grey materials and gold tone hardware usually aren’t paired together. But in this bag, the…
Burberry Leather Messenger Bag

It’s also quite roomy, it’s dimensions are 17″W X 17″H X 5″D. The first thought that came to m…

JKC Quotable Totes
Jewelry – and now handbag label – JKC has recently released a collection of “quotable totes” that are perfect for today’s tough financial times. Designer Jessica Kagan Cushman’s waxed-canvas totes declare humorous statements like “Charge It Please,” and former Vogue editor Edna Woolman Chase’s famous quote, “Fashion can be bought. Style one must possess,” which put a witty and mischievous spin on the otherwise rather plain Goyard’s St. Louis carry-all. JKC’s quotable totes are a handy and styli…
