admin — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 15:57:07 +0000

The Diane Von Furstenberg Belle Evening Clutch is a very cute, girlie and chic studded clutch. The color is Copper, but I think it’s a bit like baby pink, very light.

The studded metallic leather clutch features ruching at the hinged frame and gunmetal hardware.

It has a detachable shoulder strap with a 13 inch drop.

The closure is magnetic and it is lined. It measures 6″H x 9.5″L.

Dior Lady Dior Large Top Handle Bag

admin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 14:13:12 +0000

I love the Dior Lady Dior Large Top Handle Bag. It’s cute and classy, has a pretty light color and lovely details.

It has a pearlized patent calfskin design with a detachable shoulder strap (with a 17 inch drop) and gold-tone hardware detail.

It has double top handles with a 4 inch drop. For some reason these don’t bother me at all on this bag, where as on the Dior Granville Medium Tote I didn’t love them. Perhaps it’s to do with the color.

The bag has a zipper closure and an inside backwall zipper pocket. It has metal feet and is lined in cotton.

The dimensions are as follows: 14″W X 10″H X 4″D.

The Dior Lady Dior Large Top Handle Bag is available to buy through Saks for $2,350.

Lanvin Amalia python shoulder bag

The Lanvin Amalia python shoulder bag is an “Antique Rose” colored python shoulder bag with gold-tone hardware. The word antique seems very fitting to me, it was the first word that came to mind when I saw this bag.

It has a grosgrain-trimmed chain-link strap with zip fastening at the top and side. It also has a zip around the base which extends the base of the bag.

There’s a cute detail; the designer embossed gold and silver-tone coin keyring.

Inside is a pouch pocket and a zip-fastening pocket. The bag is fully lined in designer-embossed satin. Lovely! The dimensions are as follows:

* Width 15″ / 37cm
* Height 9″ / 23cm
* Depth 4″ / 10cm
* Handle Drop 10″ / 25cm

The Lanvin Amalia python shoulder bag is available to buy through Net-A-Porter for $2,790.

Dior Granville Medium Tote

admin — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 16:04:49 +0000

It’s about time I added a section for Dior Handbags. I just came across the Dior Granville Medium Tote and what a lovely bag it is!

It has a handstitched cannage lambskin design. The shoulder strap, with silvertone hardware accents, is detachable and also adjustable. You can have it with a drop of anywhere between 16 and 20 inches.

The bag has double top handles with a 4 inch drop. Now in my opinion, the bag would be pretty perfect if it wasn’t for the double top handles. For some reason I think they spoil the look of it. Or perhaps it’s having both handles and a shoulder strap that’s not doing it for me in this case.

It has a zipper closure and an inside zipper pocket, as well as the open pocket.

The bag has metal feet and is lined in nylon. The dimensions are: 13″W X 11″H X 6″D.

The Dior Granville Medium Tote is available to buy through Saks for $2,350.

The Diane Von Furstenberg Stephanie woven leather clutch is yet another DVF item with wonderful colors. This one is in Sunset Metallic (very fitting) and it is a multicolored metallic leather woven soft clutch with tan paneling and a tassel-trimmed wristlet to hold.

The slouchy soft clutch has a top zip fastening, mesh lining and a designer-stamped plaque on the inside. This is “the perfect finish to a bohemian evening look” writes Net-A-Porter.com. I completely agree.
