That's A Fabulous Handbag

I'm usually not a big fan of overly fringed bags, but I really like this Jimmy Choo version. The fringe adds a bit of movement to the bag and with the fringes restricted to the bottom of the bag alone it's not overwhelming. Apart from the fringe, the bag itself is beautiful with woven pattern and embossed patches. It has gold tone hardware and chain straps, as well as a logo plate on front. It's part leather and part suede, $2,858 at LUISAVIAROMA.COM.

Jimmy Choo's collections for H&M will be available for sale on November 14th 2009 and it is being eagerly anticipated among many a Choo lover. The line will be more affordable than his famous Jimmy Choo brand, starting at around $100 for the bags. I  like, not love, the entire collection, however the bag above is my favorite. I love the bright blue and crystal detail as well as his signature below. The rest of the bags are pretty standard, but reflect a bit of the Jimmy Choo touch. The bags in no way compare to his signature line, but for a fraction of the cost, they will be a success.

Louisaviaroma is having a huge sale on their handbags, some of them newly released. I'm not sure why, but the European based store gets their products months before they hit the stores here in the US. For example, last week when I was at the Nordstrom semi annual sale, the staff set out a Marc Jacobs bag that has been available at Louisaviaroma since April. I said, "oh, that's last season, I've seen it," and they said the bag just came in that morning.

Check it out, if your in the market for a designer handbag, it's worth it. And their prices include shipping and import tax.  LUISAVIAROMA.COM

This beautiful Jimmy Choo handbag is from his Fall 2009 collection, but has already been released for sale. The star studs intermixed with the round ones adds a playful element to this rocker chic handbag. Although the bag is heavily studded, it's not over the top in my opinion. This bag has a detachable strap and bangle. Many of the handbags from this collection are on the wild side, with lots of studs and bright animal prints. Available at JimmyChoo.com, $2,227

I'm not usually a huge fan of Jimmy Choo handbags. Don't get me wrong, I like them, but I'm not obsessed with them like I am with certain LV's, Marc Jacobs, Chanels, etc.... However this bag is very whimsical and fun, but also beautiful. This design with the bangle and detachable strap is great, because it versatile and convenient. With the strap attached it's a easy access tote and without the strap it's a slouchy clutch. This handbag is patent leather and available at JimmyChoo.com, $1,196.
