Louis Vuitton Damier window display a little too realistic

By Carrelli | August 30th, 2010

The new Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite collection for men (though we think it would look fab for women too) has been attracting a lot of attention. Some of it inadvertent. The heist-themed window displays at the Fifth Avenue flagship store in New York feature the Damier bag under a museum-like glass case in one window,

Baby Phat Metallic Curved

“Get the purse that’ll make all the other ladies jealous!” says the Baby Phat website of this $58 handbag. In case you couldn’t guess, creative director Kimora Lee Simmons is a bit of a Versace fan (not to mention a ex-muse of Karl Lagerfeld). No doubt your buying this bag will help her to buy [...]

Designer’s Bed!

The target shape when we put a child’s room is one: Possible space in a traffic safe, happy environment. To achieve this it is useful to organize thoughts and moves us to feel for some children. In a child’s room should serve the following basic requirements: 1) Game 2) Reading 3) Sleep 4) The storage [...]

‘Sophia’ from Alexandra Bee Bags

By Carrelli | August 28th, 2010

If you are a fan of oversize bags, the inside of your bag probably resembles a black hole, a place where things go in and are very rarely seen again. What if you’re a mum who doesn’t want a baby bag covered in cartoon ducks dressed as clowns, (or something similar) that screams ‘I have [...]

Zac Posen handbags at New York Fashion Week 2011

By Carrelli | August 28th, 2010

Zac Posen has always been a winner in my books, and I am so relieved (nay, worried), that I adore his handbags for Autumn/Winter 07/08 as well, what a relief they’re not a disappointment! From doctor bags made from what looks like satin, to slightly Marc Jacobs-esque buckled utilitarian leathers, the look is very grown-up, [...]

Yay or Nay Wednesday

By Carrelli | August 27th, 2010

Nay to last week’s Fendi bag. It may have been by a designer we normally like, but it impressed no one with its blatant self-promotion, so off it goes to Handbag Hell, as we move onto our next victim. There’s a lot going on with this week’s bag. The diamantes. The tassels. The rather bright [...]

Sigrid Olsen’s croc-embossed leather hobos

By Carrelli | August 27th, 2010

Many people have qualms about wearing crocodile or snakeskin leathers, which I’ve never understood, as normal leather comes from cattle, which is surely a much more lovely breed of animal than the former two? Nonetheless, if exotic animal skins are not your game but you do fancy the chic embossed effect, these faux-croc hobos made [...]

Stella McCartney’s raffia clutch-2011

By Carrelli | August 24th, 2010

It really must be Spring just ’round the corner, with countless wicker and raffia accessories cropping up like the flowers through the cracks in the pavement. Stella McCartney has churned out several very Summery items,

Marc Jacobs’ Gucci Designers Collection 2011

By Carrelli | August 24th, 2010

Quilting, check! Metallic, check! Familiar buckle…check! £370 for canvas and perspex? Why, it must be a Marc Jacobs creation! I really want to know who’d actually pay that much money for something made mostly out of plastic, and, let’s talk frankly here, readers -

Nicky Hilton’s Pink Le Dix

By Carrelli | August 23rd, 2010

Now, I wouldn’t ordinarily tell you to look to the Hilton sisters for fashion advice, but the handbag Nicky was toting at the Vanity Fair Oscars party was definitely a showstopper. Despite the fact she designs bags for a living, she chose to swap her own brand for Balenciaga, and carried the Le Dix bag [...]
