And just in time for this Hallmark
Tuesday, December 27th, 2011This week we will be bringing you a variety of bags that make perfect Valentine’s Day presents. And just in time for this Hallmark Holiday, Burberry has been releasing a line of heart print bags. The line of bags ranges from totes to small shoulder bags. There is still the quintessential nova check pattern that can be seen on each item. The hearts then take over the foreground of each item, which gives us a splash of love. hie.com/luoecon It has been a long time since we covered an ostrich skin bag on PurseBlog. I just realized that. We spoke about some ostrich bags seen in Fall/Winter 2010 runway shows, but before that we hadn’t shown one since December. And while many of you do not like the look or idea of ostrich skin, I always had an affinity to certain ostrich skin bags. Maybe not so much anymore? Because as I sit here looking at the Prada Struzzo Executive Tote I am totally underwhelmed. And underwhelmed by both the skin and the design. Actually, Prada in general continues to let me down. I popped into the Prada boutique last weekend with a couple of friends and made my way around the store quicker than any other store we went into. The collection was part odd part lackluster. And all I kept thinking is what happened? I used to find joy in so many Prada designs and used to look to Prada each season with anticipation.
If Gucci‘s accessories designers have anything to say about it, the trend toward handbag minimalism is over, starting with Gucci Spring 2011. Considering last season’s retro-leaning accessories collection and the current trend climate, I expected another line of referential, staid handbags from the Italian brand during its recent presentation in Milan; I was dead wrong. Not only were the clothes bright, bold and more than a tad tropical, but the bags were sexy statement-makers in exotics, metallics and intricate woven leather. Naturally, my favorites were the big carry-all satchels like the one at left. Replica Hermes Handbags It is a time-honored tradition of Gucci to trim shiny nickel hardware on its designer handbags, and this doing is appreciated by many Gucci fans. Once again this fashion brand used this tragedy and released the new bag—“Techno Horsebit” Large Shoulder Flap Bag, which successfully combines the horsebit detail and the tassel with bamboo detail. It is determined to be another Gucci icon bag pattern. This Gucci Bag exists in four styles; one is made from grey leather, one from beige and ebony GG fabric, one from cobalt blue leather and one from black python. This time I will focus on the presentation of this “Techno Horsebit” in black python. It is exotic glamorous. The bag is sized at 40 x 16 x 30 cm, a most capacity for a single shoulder bag. Opening the bag via a snap and flap closure with horsebit detail, you will touch soft cotton linen lining and see two inside zip pockets for holding mobile phone and PDA. A luggage tag comes along with this designer purse. The bag can either be hold by a single handle with 18 cm drop and a detachable shoulder strap with 20 cm drop. I bet that this bag would be very pricy.
