Casadei Medium Leather Bag

Talk about a class act. This Casadei Medium Leather Bag looks ready to be taken to some gala affair or outdoor symphony. But if you’re at a slightly less buttoned-up stage in your life, that’s not to say you can’t have some fun with it. The cascading rhinestone details are on a suede exterior, which is much less prim and proper than say, a black satin. This purse has a couple of crazy nights in Vegas left in it before it has …

Alexander McQueen “Western Wicca” Satchels: Wicca in Wonderland

Back in early March, I reviewed Alexander McQueen’s smooth and clean “Wicca” bag. While it is, indeed, sleek and lovely, I yearned for something more robustly…McQueen. And as of today, my wish has been granted!

The “Wicca” satchel has been given a spectacular, ornate, dreamily embellished makeover – and the result is a feast for both the eyes and the hands. Three-dimensional embossed leather foliage gives both the medium black and small white bags the …

Mata Hari Suede Briefcase Bag

You wouldn’t have to ask me twice to add this glamorous Suede Briefcase Bag by Mata Hari to my wardrobe. I can already tell it would be a major player with almost everything I own, and certainly would be large enough to hold most of my necessities.

Proenza Schouler PS1 Medium Patchwork Lux Satchel

… there, I can’t quite get behind all of them. Direct your attention to the Proenza Schouler PS1 Medium Patchwork Lux Satchel, which isn’t quite oddball, really, but is definitely bland. Blandness isn’t a quality I expect of patchwork, since there’s practically no room to “mess up” the design – I mean, there has to be an interesting patch somewhere in the mix, right? I was obviously mistaken, because this boring hodgepodge of banal, earthy hues doesn’t do much to excite the bag …
