Bottega Veneta Intrec Argyle Boston Bag

17 March 2010

I’m usually a bit dubious when Bottega Veneta decides to layer a pattern on top of their signature intrecciato woven leather. <a href=”http://www.cheap-nike.net”>cheap nike</a>The material itself is so beautiful and luxurious that it seem a waste to mask it, and often the extra patterns compete with the weave’s natural lines.buy nfl jerseys

This time, though, I think they got it right – the argyle pattern of the Bottega Veneta Argyle Veneta Intrec Argyle Boston Bag works on its own and with the weaving.

The traditional diamond structure of the painted argyle shares some of the diagonal lines of the intrecciato leather without completely mimicking it, which is the key to its success.

The rounded edges of the argyle is in contrast to the right angles of the leather, but the two still fit together in a logical and visually pleasing way. jordan fushions shoesFrom a distance, you don’t notice the woven structure, but it provides a nice surprise when the bag is examined close-up. The bag works on both levels, and it provides a great example for how to mix textures and patterns the right way.puma fans

Kooba Slouchy Leather Hobo

17 March 2010

I consider Kooba to be a relatively contemporary brand. For the most part, when I think of Kooba, I imagine younger-ish women carrying the bags (meaning teens thru 30s and maybe even into 40s).
cheap adidas shoesI know I am making a rather big generalization, but hey, it is what it is. However, here is a Kooba bag that is absolutely fabulous and one that a wide range of age groups should find appealing.nike fans

The Kooba Slouchy Leather Hobo is a bit sophisticated without being overly extravagant. First things first, does anyone else think this bag isn’t quite “slouchy”? To me, due to the angular zip closures, it is more structured than slouchy.

I haven’t had the chance to see this bag in person yet, so perhaps in person it is slouchy. pumas shoesEither way, this isn’t a point worth arguing because the bag is rather fabulous. I’m loving this blue color, but if you aren’t, it’s available in white, mocha and celadon. The single shoulder strap is embellished with goldtone hardware and just the slightest bit of wrapped leather where the strap meets the bag.nike men shoes

Eileen Fisher Larger Leather Hobo

17 March 2010

As soon as I came across this bag I was instantly reminded that sometimes, less really is more.
cheap shoes/t-shirts Sure, there are going to be plenty of you who think this bag is far too boring to give a second glance, but it might be worth that second glance after all. The Eileen Fisher Large Leather Hobo demonstrates how sticking to the basics can actually do a handbag some good.nike air jordans

Traditionally speaking, I look for bags that have an element of surprise to them. Some bags are loud and out there and others just look like a bunch of leather and a shoulder strap. This bag is a combination of the two. nike shox shoesThe black leather is smooth and smooshy. Yes,cheap air jordans
it typical hobo fashion, this is a large bag (dimensions: 15″W X 14″H X 5″D), but that is what should be expected from a hobo.

Michele Genia Charlotte Pleated Leather Hobo

17 March 2010

After the Kooba Slouchy Leather Hobo I covered yesterday and the Eileen Fisher Large Leather Hobo this morning, I guess it is fair to say that I have hobos on my brain. googi jeansI love a fabulous large bag. They are so much fun and can add a great accent to your outfit. Certainly, every bag can add an accent to your outfit, but large bags are definitely my go-to during the day.ca jeanscheap adidas shoes

The Michele Genia Charlotte Pleated Leather Hobo takes everything I love about hobos and kicks it up a notch. This bag comes in blue and yellow, but being a blue girl, the color was the first thing to catch my eye.

Alexander Wang Sydney Backpack

There are few things that I love more than when ShopBop gets in a new shipment of Alexander Wang bags.china shoes He does some of the most interesting things handbags in recent memory, and he makes It Bags at prices that slightly more women can afford. cheap gucciIn short, I love him.nba jerseys
I kind of love the Alexande Wang Sydney Backpack, too. Remember back in the 90s, when mini backpacks were all the rage? Yeah, that’s not coming back, thankfully.

What seems to be happening, though, is that the ultra-functional satchels are becoming more popular in sizes that are close to their schoolyard compatriots.light snow

I had to look at the bag for a minute or two, but I think I really like it. A punky black leather backpack would look absolutely great (and maybe a bit subversive) on the right kind of girl – I don’t know if that’s me, per se, ceciliabut I can see her in my head. The thing that’s appealing about this bag is its blatant non-femininity. Industrial and menswear are huge trends in women’s fashion right now, cheap bagsand this captures both of them with a healthy dose of attitude and edge.

Alexander Wang Cher Large Siamese Clutch

17 March 2010

Yes, I realize that here we have two Alexander Wang posts back to back.foot locker While maybe I should apologize for this, I’m not going to. Sorry folks, I couldn’t help myself. See, as soon as I came across this Alexander Wang Cher Large Siamese Clutch, I had to stop everything I was doing and write about it.brand tcheap brand t-shirts

Another thing I realize is the fact that Alexander Wang is often off of his rocker. Now sometimes being off your rocker as a designer is a good thing and then there are other times it is a bad thing. In this instance my friends, it is a bag thing – a very, VERY bad thing.cheap eyeglasses

I cannot figure out for the life of me what Wang was going for with this clutch. Ok, that’s a bit of a lie. Of course I realize he is pushing the envelope (eeeks, bad pun… which was intended) with this clutch but did he have to do so to this extent? Probably not.

This oversized leather clutch has contrasting mirrored leather against suede as well as contrasting angles. cheap adidas shoesIt appears as though Wang has taken two large envelopes, flipped them around a bit and added some glue to fasten them. Typically I try to find at least some kind of use for each handbag I write about, but ladies and gents, I am stumped. There is no way I would carry this anywhere; it’s just not me.jordan shoes However, if this is something you want to rock – go for it!

Felix Rey Sequin Bow Clutch

17 March 2010

Can you guys give us some privacy, please? Felix Rey and I are having a moment. I almost always love the sparkly, witty, slightly off-kilter (in a good way) bags that the brand puts out, put I am particularly enamored with the Felix Rey Sequin Bow Clutch.

There’s something about the combination of sequins and fuchsia that just makes say YES, PLEASE. Maybe it’s my latent David Bowie-fandom, or maybe it’s the drag queen inside of me that’s raring to get out. Or maybe, just possibly, it’s the fact that the brand’s designers managed to take loud material and make it not only socially acceptable, but also pretty.

If you’re interested into adding some sparkle to an outfit (any outfit, really), this is perhaps the most perfect option that I’ve come across. It’s a wristlet instead of a frame or box clutch, which allows it to be used casually, in spite of the material, if you so desire (and I do, for the record). At nine inches long, it’s also big enough for daytime essential. It IS made of fuchsia sequins, after all, so its transition to an evening bag is all too easy.

The glimmering material takes center stage, but the added bit of texture that comes from the bow pleating gives the bag an extra bit of that mysterious, indescribable voodoo that makes a bag great.

IRO Arki Studded Bag

17 March 2010

One of the things I really love about working on PurseBlog Savvy is that I get a chance to look at bags that are actually reasonably priced. In addition to this, I come across brands that I’m not familiar with. We are all familiar with brands like Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton or Chanel, but until I had the chance to work on this site, I had never heard of a brand like IRO. Now that I have, I am pretty happy. Granted, I don’t own one of these bags but if I were to, this one might be an option.
I wasn’t sure what I was going to expect when I came across the IRO Arki Studded Bag. I usually hold my breath for just a second when I see the word “studded” in the name of a bag. I never know what to expect. Yet with this bag, studs are almost an after thought. They are there, but they definitely are not in your face. I am really enjoying the soft yet not boring color of the bag. At the same time, the leather looks completely smooshy and supple. The zippered shoulder strap isn’t my favorite, but at the same time, it is a unique detail. This would be a nice option for when you are feeling a bit edgy, yet not too edgy.
