Though Miu Miu is quite fabulous, and I have not yet a Miu Miu handbag till now …. When I come across with the Miu Miu Patent Square Tote , I don’t you if take it or pass it, my best friend insisted that the plisse effect and patent leather combination ruins the trademark softness of Miu Miu’s leather or too much gold tone hardware or the color is too unpractical to use. As much as I love handbags, I tend to error on the side of purchasing once I am totally sure I want it. I couldn’t decide if this would be in the running for my first Miu Miu purchase or not. For those of you who know me, you know that I am a tad skeptical when it comes to white handbags. But, I truly love something about this goldtone hardware on white patent combination. At the same time, there is a sense of freshness about this bag. It’s chic, fun, and versatile. Yet, is it enough to be my first Miu Miu? Any other suggestions?

I’ve been looking for a black leaather tote with side panels for a long time. Today, I found out the one I love. But, but its rich price(1095us$) is out of my support. I have to give up. Anyway, still want to say something. 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 is 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.

Maybe I am still a bit of a novice when it comes to fashion and handbags but I truly love the intricacy and stunning beauty of this purse. If I had $2,000 laying around I would definitely snatch this Marc Jacobs Jeweled Stam Satche up! Besides blue is my favorite color and I absolutely adore the shape.

Yes, the Marc Jacobs Jeweled Stam Satchel is so allure,fantastic and bedazzled that you can’t help addicting to it. The bag’s quilts are covered in zillions of light blue Swarovski crystals against a backdrop of dark blue suede with the traditional gold chain for even more shine. I think we all know that MJ is only continuing to make new versions of the Stam to capitalize on its former status as an It-Bag. This particular wild-and-sparkly version would have to be for a very specific, very bold customer, however, given its assumed ability to completely overpower anything else you’re wearing.

Have you stillI remember the lunar cycle articles in your primary book?I was always puzzled with how the moon changed shape, brightness, and location. Of course, I was pretty young when this first infatuation occurred. Well, over time, I still find myself fixated with the moon. Sometimes it is so big and bright, other times it is a small sliver and yet other times it is perfectly cut in half. Just as I am infatuated with the moon, I can also find myself infatuated with Bottega Veneta handbags. For the most part, Bottega Veneta handbags are gorgeously intricate yet simply divine.
It is so nature that when I met the Bottega Veneta Half Moon Clutch I immediately thought it was my love . At first glance, the handbag is fun, flirty and versatile. Then as I continued to examine the bag, I noticed the supple leather with exquisite detailing. The terracotta colored leather boasts amazing detailing that is fabulous yet not overwhelming. BV has gone over the top before while trying to do too much at once. This is not a problem here. The soft color matched with detailing gives you a bag that is sure to last for seasons to come.

Another new brand presented here, Piquadro, Italy brand. Now it is following the latest trend launched a collection that uses a combination of avant-garde and eco-friendly materials for the spring summer season.
I would like to say something about the Jungle line which stands out from the pattern of a city style, using a daring mix of shapes and colors. Following the echo-philosophy, Piquadro uses “tecnomatrix” in this line. “Tecnomatrix” is a shiny fabric made of a combination of linen, polyurethane and tawed leather in white, which implies a treatment with a low environmental impact. This collection is characterized by a top-quality and multifunctional cord. At the same time, this feature makes every piece different from each others by enhancing its specific function. Don’t you think it is a pretty one?

Today, a new brand, Burberry Gardener Handbag, I believe the Burberry Gardener bag will become a must-have for many people for the spring&summer 2009 season. Burberry introduces its back-to-nature themed Gardener bag collection along with its ready to wear Spring Summer 2009 collection.
The shades look as good as the earlier ones. You will find that earthly color palettes dominate for this collection of gardener bags. The earth colors have taken the hint from the different pieces of clothing. The clothes that were displayed were generally associated with all kinds of sun-bleached and weathered shades such as plum, peat, and stone. The colors in case of the bags are similar and they too play with such tones.
The textures of these gardener bags include a variety of fabrics such as degradé bridle leather, spayed alligator, patchwork raffia, and many more. The romantic spirit of British summer gardens has inspired the bag collection.

Have you ever heard of Givenchy accessories? Haha…He is one of my favorite bags designer who is not as mainstream in the handbag world. It’s pitty that I have yet to own a Givenchy bag because of its rich price, but I have lusted after the Givenchy Nightingale time and time again. And now there is a new bag to yearn for from the house of Givenchy. The Givenchy Sacca Chain Handle Bag exudes pure style and elegance.Designed with grained leather, this small sac bag features a gold chain handle and a single leather handle. The shape of the bag is timeless. It will easily transfer from season to season, leaving you with a chic shoulder bag. The inside features dual open compartments separated by a middle zipper compartment, a side zip pocket, and a smaller open pocket. While this bag is available in other colors, the white is a stunner!

The Chanel Paris Biarritz looks really practical and the fact that it is not leather probably makes it lighter to carry and water-resistant. This elegant, sophisticated bag is enough to inspire a trip around the world. silvertone hardware, a ‘CC’ logo charm and unique adjustable handles. The zip top opens to a balck lining, zip pocket, cell phone and open compartments. Size: 14″ x 11″ x 6″ (W35 x H30 x D17CM) Sale Price : US $213.00.

Personally speaking, I am not as crazy about the Paris Biarritz collection of hobos and shopper totes in coated canvas. They’re expensive and look like camera bags (as my friend’s daughter and husband so eloquently put it when she brought one home in gold) I’m not surprised they’re sold out though, people will buy just about anything if you stick a Chanel logo on it.
