Tory Burch Reva Straw Clutch, Handbag of the Day Apr 12, 2009 at 05:02PM Source: LuxistFiled under: Handbags  This Tory Burch creation, the Reva Straw Clutch, is a nice everyday bag that's definitely hanging out at the high end of casual thanks to its pairing of earthy straw with shiny patent leather and a bold gold logo emblem. It makes me think of garden parties with lots of big hats, floral dresses, and wicker furniture. At 12" long it's just large enough to hold the basics, plus it has two interior pockets (with a cotton lining), a magnetic snap closure, and a removable chain strap. $325 Tory Burch Reva Straw Clutch, Handbag of the Day originally appeared on Luxist on Sun, 12 Apr 2009 17:02:00 EST.

Lockheart Bargello Jada Hobo, Handbag of the Day Apr 10, 2009 at 05:02PM Source: LuxistFiled under: Handbags  The Lockheart Bargello Jada Hobo is an unexpectedly luxurious and practical find!The practicality is achieved not only by its 14"W x 13"H x 5"D size, but this bag has a detachable 17"-24" drop shoulder strap, rayon lining, six inside pockets, and three large outside pockets. The permanent strap, a 10" drop, fits over the shoulder as well, but we love the intricately woven detail on the detachable strap. If not for the wear those pesky TSA machines could have on this polished leather, we'd call this the perfect carry on bag! As for luxury, the soft black polished leather and artful exterior panels give the bag a natural elegance and no-nonsense style with universal appeal. We love the portly, retro shape. The Lockheart Bargello Jada Hobo is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $695.00. Lockheart Bargello Jada Hobo, Handbag of the Day originally appeared on Luxist on Fri, 10 Apr 2009 17:02:00 EST.

Drop In Luxury Purse Sales Means Alligator Glut For Louisiana Apr 10, 2009 at 07:02AM Source: LuxistFiled under: Handbags  Here's one part of the luxury economy I hadn't considered, the alligator farms. It turns out the decline of the "it bag" has reverberations throughout the various industries that feed into the luxury brands. The Houma Today website tells the story of Gerald Savoie Jr., the owner of Savoie's Alligator Farm whose has plenty of alligators and no one to buy the skins.You many have seen Savoie's Alligator Farm on past episodes of "Dirty Jobs" where Mike Rowe learned about ins and outs of alligator farming. Savoie has over 60,000 alligators but the world's luxury brands like Gucci and Versace aren't buying as many skins as they did in past years. The Louisiana bayous produce a lot of alligators and the skins are shipped around the world to be turned into belts, purses and other goods. Alligator farms are a $60 million dollar industry in Louisiana. Vermilion Gator Farms Inc. says they generally sell 75,000 hides a year but haven't sold an alligator skin in a year and predict that they may not be able to sell a skin for another year. An article on Abbeville Now last month reported that there are 840,000 tanned hides in the U.S. market waiting to be sold to tanners, a number far above the 275,000 hides generally sold nationally.

Williamsfield Printed Tote.And what exactly is the "it" that she does? She effortlessly blends stodgy and rebellious, classic and edgy. The shape of this bag, for example, is completely unremarkable -- and exactly the shape required to legitimize the creative and daring print on the PVC coated canvas. This 16"W X 12"H x 5"D bag features 9" double leather straps with a 9" drop, a magnetic closure, outside snaps, and expandable gussets. The inside includes zip and open pockets. This is a fun bag to pair with an elegant outfit -- and show your playful side. The L.A.M.B. Williamsfield Printed Tote is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $295. L.A.M.B.

Foley & Corinna Tie-Dye Convertible Tote, Handbag of the Day Apr 08, 2009 at 05:02PM Source: LuxistFiled under: Handbags  The Foley & Corinna Tie-Dye Convertible Tote is an eye catching, fashion forward bag for spring and summer.Both charcoal grey and tye dye are going to be "in" this summer, but who wants to walk around in tie dye -- or charcoal grey in summer for that matter? The solution, as always, is to keep your accessories on-trend and wear whatever you want. This bag would be terrific with just about any bright color, and at 11"W X 12"H x 3½"D with a detachable shoulder strap, it's even suitable for the office. It's hard to see from the picture, but this tie dying is actually done on rich, white leather, which keeps this fun bag remarkably sophisticated. The Foley & Corinna Tie-Dye Convertible Tote is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $444.

Dior Two-Textured Leather Satchel, Handbag of the Day Apr 07, 2009 at 05:03PM Source: LuxistFiled under: Handbags  The Dior Two-Textured Leather Satchel is an unusual find!If you think you know Christian Dior, you're probably surprised. With its unusual shape, gothic buckles, and innovative texture, this purse seems to come from a whole new Dior genre! Perhaps its a 1980s Vivienne Westwood inspiration -- the 80s is definitely back. In any case, this 20"W X 11"H X 4"D purse is crafted from pebble leather and croc-textured leather, giving it a truly unique look. The adjustable buckle strap, grommet and buckle details, and bold black shape make it truly anomalous. That, along with the durable nylon lining and soft leather exterior make this a perfect bag for a night of rock and roll and unexpected excitement. The phrase "buckle up" comes to mind ... The Dior Two-Textured Leather Satchel is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $2,950.

Emilio Pucci Frame Bag, Handbag of the Day Apr 06, 2009 at 05:01PM Source: LuxistFiled under: Handbags  The Emilio Pucci Frame Bag is an exceptionally elegant evening bag.Nearly a simple clutch, the plexi bangle wristlet gives this purse an edge -- and makes it easier to carry! Fear not, the bangle is detachable if you're a purist (or if it doesn't match your outfit). The ruched white silk exudes the same pristine glamour as a spotless white glove. The bag is 8"W X 8"H X 1"D and includes a full silk lining. The classic kiss-in-lock closure makes it timeless. We recommend pairing this with your loveliest pale or white dress this spring. The Emilio Pucci Frame Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $950. Emilio Pucci Frame Bag, Handbag of the Day originally appeared on Luxist on Mon, 06 Apr 2009 17:01:00 EST.

Henri Bendel No. 7 Quilted Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day Apr 05, 2009 at 05:02PM Source: LuxistFiled under: Handbags  We love the Art Deco inspired Henri Bendel No. 7 Quilted Shoulder Bag in Periwinkle.This bag, described as "rocker chic," combines the softness and delicacy of periwinkle (everyone's favorite Crayola Crayon) with the edge of steel. The hardware comes in silver for the periwinkle version, as well as the cream and red. The black and blue ink versions come with brassy yellow gold toned chains and logo. This Italian quilted Nappa leather bag is lined in satin, making it more practical for evening than all day -- a perfect companion for one of this spring's white dresses. We'd also love to see this paired with jeans and stilettos. Like a rock and roll lady, it's equally appropriate with couture and the thrift store. The Henri Bendel No. 7 Quilted Shoulder Bag is available from Henri Bendel for $395 (Red and Cream are currently sold out).

Isabella Fiore Hot Studded Blossom Hobo, Handbag of the Day Apr 04, 2009 at 05:02PM Source: LuxistFiled under: Handbags  The Isabella Fiore Hot Studded Blossom Hobo is one of the most daring purses we've seen this season, when all the designers seem to be playing it safe.The inventive shape of this bag makes it stand out immediately -- we love the tasseled drawstring gather with two belt-clasped pockets on the well-defined sides. On closer look, we noted the stud work. The studs are meticulously placed on tiny pleats, adding intricacy and luxury to the look of the bag. This 15.5"W x 12.5"H x 5.5"D hobo comes in Aqua (shown) and Sun (a beige-y yellow), and has a lovely floral lining. The bag does not rely on the drawstring alone, there is a concealed magnetic snap at the top. The Isabella Fiore Hot Studded Blossom Hobo is available from Bloomingdales for $695.
