A hobo handbag has a ’slouchy’ feel and often has a crescent shape. The handbag had adopted it’s name due to it’s similarity to the bindle that we often see ‘hobos’ carrying in cartoons and movies.

Over the years this particular style of design has become more and more popular and has been seen slung casually over the shoulder of many a celebrity.

I know this site was ONLY intended for designer shoes but due to my LV obsession, I can’t control my urge for designer handbags.

The Louis Vuitton designer, Marc Jacobs is truly a genius that flows against the tide of fashion when it comes to designer handbags. He knows how to develop something unique and different from other designers from old classic styles into fresh and outrageously chic.

With the handbags, he gave birth and presented the classic Noe and Alma bags in incredibly fabulous designs. The Monogram Double Jeu means “Double Game,” consist of a Neo Noe and a Neo Alma.

In my own understanding with this bag, I am assuming the name “double” signifies to the bag-to-bag relationship. After I saw the bag in pictures, my mind put crazy notions at rest. It consist of an inner bag that has chain handles and can be detachable.

The fabric of the interior bag has an Epi -like weave and it features a brass “Inventeur” plaque for an optional use of bag. It can be carried separately.
The actual Noé and Alma was located and considered as the outer bag. It has leather straps for easy carrying. They are expected to be released sometime in September this year. (more…)

I just got my shipment of metal purse frames this morning! I barely opened them up, and got to making a purse pattern. I wanted it to be quite big, so that phones, wallets, keys and whatnot FIT IN the bag. I got the idea from a vintage picture I had bookmarked a long time ago.

So, I took some fabric I got from TroisMiettes. It's a cotton tree print with birds all around it.I took the purse frame and did an outline of it on paper. Added seam allowance of one centimeter.
It will probably have a silk purple lining. I'm not sure yet.

When it’s reMade of course!

Durable and malleable, leather is an ideal material for reusing and upcycling. Seizing that potential, reMade USA just launched a line of stylish handbags made from used and scrap leather. reMade’s bags were initially made from leather jackets found in charity stores, with details based on the original garments. The company now also gets cast-offs from the furniture and automotive industries.

reMade has around 10–15 different bags available for order on its website at any time, currently ranging in price from USD 125–365. If they’d like to breathe new life into a garment they no longer wear, customers can also supply their own leather jacket and request a design based on one of reMade’s models. Hand-crafted in San Francisco, stamped with its own unique serial number, and lined with a recycled silk scarf, each bag is inherently unique.

reMade isn’t the first to make leather jackets into bags. But as planet-friendly products jostle for attention, it’s not enough just to be green. How to stand out and create a sustainable business on top of a sustainable product? reMade’s founder, Shannon South, demonstrates the importance of building a brand: using good design and photography; showing the process and telling a story; and adding charming and recognizable details like a silk scarf lining.

Spring/summer seasons are very fast. It seems a moment ago that I have complimented my favorite label, Gucci. There were few spring/summer 2009 handbag items that didn’t make me flinch and some I really liked. Now, I am looking forward for I can possibly tote these handbags on the distant horizon because they are readily available on my Gucci online store.

An array of Gucci Handbags after the jump.

Showing above is the Gucci ‘icon bit’ medium Boston bag. It has a horse bit detail, D ring detail, metal chain and studs. The chain details and its little studs are the perfect hardware that I am looking for to complete my chic city street look. I think its a little bit pricey for a medium sized leather bag ($1,990).

Another Gucci  ‘galaxy’ large shoulder bag with metal chain and interlocking G-detail. One of the handbag preferences from this collection. Favored being simple and large shoulder design. This bag has also right amount of hardware that allow us to express our strong attitude. Fairly priced $3,500 for a designer python like this. It is also comes in black leather for the price of $2,500.

This is the Gucci ‘icon bit’ medium shoulder bag. It has a horse bit detail, D ring detail, and lot of studs that comes in variety colors and utilized from various materials. This bland suede version start at $1,390.

Lastly, I really like this Gucci ‘new Jackie’ large shoulder bag with hand stitching, bamboo detail and tassels. Very classic ever! The tassels on the opposite side and the bamboo detail gives the right amount of decoration to complete the look.

This type of Gucci bag has a broad range of prices because of different materials and colors are being utilized. The price starts at $2,995 for the GG monogram version and go up to $9,990 for the ostrich version.
The bag shown above has a price of $5,700. A little bit steeper for python, but it is absolutely a beautiful handbag.

These are some of the Gucci Fall/Winter 2009 Handbag Collections to splurge on! So put all your pennies down.
