If you’ve never seen a handcrafted bag by Mary Frances you’ll soon find out why this designer is a fan favorite. The Beaded Tango in Paris Bag is just one example of the creative styles from this talented designer that can add a little character to your wardrobe.

If the zebra version is the twentysomething party girl, the slightly more subdued bucket tote is her older sister with the nine to five job and the nice car.

… aren’t always designed by Valentino. From the RED Valentino line comes the Straw and Denim Bow Bucket Bag. Just in time for spring, this bag, like so many things in life, has a few things going for it – and one big drawback. Let’s start with the good news. The straw is quite attractive; it’s chunky and elegant looking thanks to its meticulous weave. And the bag itself is a great size. The bad? The contrasting material of choice is – oh, the horror of it all! – some kind of awful …
