This season, the 'Paraty' (below) is the new addition to the line of Chloe's ever-expanding icons. Today's Splurge of the Week is the Python version of the Paraty...<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIa803mfIrt6YahqaUa5yr1gnTwzr59Sp496zOSHKg5MXKoCMJdUlksxSRdeht3oSAbX26j33y-zFR-EY7KUz2bwLIGfNVi5hiYmAXLGC0gBokrcTTIp767ZpS5UgfcBf2H-dBfTOY5IAX/s1600-h/Chloe+Paraty+python+tote.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIa803mfIrt6YahqaUa5yr1gnTwzr59Sp496zOSHKg5MXKoCMJdUlksxSRdeht3oSAbX26j33y-zFR-EY7KUz2bwLIGfNVi5hiYmAXLGC0gBokrcTTIp767ZpS5UgfcBf2H-dBfTOY5IAX/s400/Chloe+Paraty+python+tote.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299224226884391730" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjykCZ5UIVcNkCF_iniX7JWVJ4icJSPQOkCwToJdWb_C5XjRVHomD-PU_03huBqxX3m9WHGhM2fF548DufEs_KLTw07XcmMVjHbEAFnHR1a4LjxOCRkhgFocH-NNkGKdCFP5Pi0z89VJR3y/s1600-h/Chloe+Paratay+Python.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 149px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjykCZ5UIVcNkCF_iniX7JWVJ4icJSPQOkCwToJdWb_C5XjRVHomD-PU_03huBqxX3m9WHGhM2fF548DufEs_KLTw07XcmMVjHbEAFnHR1a4LjxOCRkhgFocH-NNkGKdCFP5Pi0z89VJR3y/s400/Chloe+Paratay+Python.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311459859206896594" /></a><br /><br />You might recognise this bag from one of Chloe's Spring/Summer 2009 ad campaigns (shown above). As we all know, some bags that we see in stores are not sold online. I was searching high and low for this bag so that I can share it with all you BagAddicts out there. Alas, I finally managed to locate this Python leather version. The lambskin versions are imho, a tad boring. This version, on the other hand, is so chic and stylish, perhaps due to the embossed python leather that gives the bag added texture and an edgy appeal. It's black so you can wear it with practically anything! Plus, like most bags out there nowadays, it comes with a detachable shoulder strap for carrying on the shoulder. <br /><br />I'm a firm believer in having only ONE black bag that you can wear to death, so at £1,873.83 / $3820, it's definitely worth the investment!

Yes, this bag was seen in our Fashion Week Coverage. This "Amazon Shoulder Bag" by Marc Jacobs definitely seems inspired by a Jungle-esque theme that was all the rage with all MJ designs this season, including those for Louis Vuitton. <br /><br />This bag definitely exudes a native-like character with its contrasting textures and colours. This metallic leather multi-flapped bag is made of Zebra-print pony hair, snakeskin and suede with leather tassel, padlock and key details. The colourful woven guitar strap inspired sling strap also takes the whole tribal-ethnic vibe to another more 'authentic' level.<br /><br /><b>Pre-Order</b> this bag from MJ's S/S 09 runway collection for a price of $2,950 via <a href="http://www.eluxury.com/estore/browse/product_detail.jsp?id=12155544"> eLuxury </a href> today!Bagaholic Babehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07544638027588443348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540654027862139469.post-58890331668104667852009-01-19T07:10:00.000+08:002009-01-19T07:10:01.541+08:00Splurge of the Week!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUyT30LKgpXwrC4XvRP8Jyus1dM_r_nI1dmBlKXuN9HvBZZKLtXn5uMy_QPLO34Aj6ETR2PwvNEX2WErF4da854zKSD30ab2M1Szkih7BD5Vb4gwxIuqMwxk0YeDdRVj60Q6koM75VzjMg/s1600-h/Fendi+Python+Multicolour+.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 318px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUyT30LKgpXwrC4XvRP8Jyus1dM_r_nI1dmBlKXuN9HvBZZKLtXn5uMy_QPLO34Aj6ETR2PwvNEX2WErF4da854zKSD30ab2M1Szkih7BD5Vb4gwxIuqMwxk0YeDdRVj60Q6koM75VzjMg/s400/Fendi+Python+Multicolour+.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292525850785447810" /></a><br /><br />This week's Splurge of the Week comes from Fendi's new Spring/Summer 2009 collection.

I have never been much of a Muse Two fan, preferring the original Muse instead, as the Muse Two has a more mature and structured look that is similar to that of the Birkin. However, that thought went straight out the window when I saw the Muse Two below.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi0NMpFfV4Zq2Y33F8ImgLcFc7VBz5waDkV98v9eZFSZGTRHtOia1FsPIGRo70JqvAdiS03KxBH4ipzVbzNO2DtXdN_x13PHvn6-Ff8g4Fc2ZkCYBV8tKZPSiBSLXvE-qEDnGRxS7A01ZM/s1600-h/YSL+Croc+Muse+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 319px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi0NMpFfV4Zq2Y33F8ImgLcFc7VBz5waDkV98v9eZFSZGTRHtOia1FsPIGRo70JqvAdiS03KxBH4ipzVbzNO2DtXdN_x13PHvn6-Ff8g4Fc2ZkCYBV8tKZPSiBSLXvE-qEDnGRxS7A01ZM/s400/YSL+Croc+Muse+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276857752483340354" /></a><br /><br />The rich hues of aubergine and maroon ombre paired with the midnight blue on the flap and trims add an even more super-luxe feel to the already luxurious Muse Two in croc-embossed suede. In suede it may be, but Bagaholic Babe still thinks that this bag is a bargain at $1,995 for a YSL piece. I mean, since the man himself, Mr. Saint-Laurent is dead, Bagaholic Babe predicts that this bag will definitely escalate in value in time to come, as the Muse Two is fast becoming an icon.

This Secret Code bag exudes an old world charm, reminding me of the bags of the pre-Second World War era. Making its first appearance in Fendi's Spring/Summer collection this year, this Secret Code is back this season, in different textures and materials. Today's featured pick is made of mouse karung leather with semi-precious stones and large topstitch detailing. Most F3 Secret Code bags come with a shoulder strap so that it can be worn cross-body messenger style.

Miu Miu, a brand that is known for its usually roomy bags (think Matelasse, Coffer, and all the rest) has turned that philosopphy around, as this season, we see bags which are much smaller in sizes, those of which can be slung in your arm and not on your shoulder. In other words, arm candy.

Not only do we see LOTS of exotic prints and animal prints, but also wildly mismatched colours!! Besides that, MJ's underlying philosophies in creating this collection, in Bagaholic Babe's opinion, are <b>contrast, textures, and colours. </b>The key shape of the season also seems to be the messenger as well as smaller-sized shoulder slung bags.<br /><br /><br />Get ready as Marc Jacobs has unleashes the Exotic kingdom unto us, often with a few of them exploding onto just a SINGLE bag!!

There really isn't a thread that binds the collection together as a WHOLE.<br /><br />The quilted bags are more classic looking, whilst the ones with sequin details and rope straps may add a touch of glam and sparkle to your outfit.<br /><br />The multi-flapped bags with contrasted textures and exotic skins with exotic skinned tassels all in one just prove to be too much for my liking! I mean, pony hair + lizard skin + python + suede + leather all in ONE bag?! It may be fine if it's in one colour, but all those details and textures PLUS contrasting colours and tassels all in ONE bag is just well, an eyesore. One really doesn't know where to look and what to focus on when you lay your eyes upon it because there is just TOO MUCH going on! However, one thing I do not doubt with all the exotic combinations is well.... the price tag, of course! Just using one type of exotic skin already costs a bomb... imagine the use of 3-4 AT ONCE..!<br /></div>Bagaholic Babehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07544638027588443348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540654027862139469.post-64275116457447578702008-11-02T04:46:00.000+08:002008-11-02T14:34:19.692+08:00Presenting: Prada S/S '09 Collection<b>Presenting: Prada's S/S 09 Collection</b><br /><br />Miuccia Prada promised us a simple back-to-basics collection, and simple, it is.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRdMfJEq27qc88XnsDcw_dbe6rkd8JwLW99srWp1L8uMafsAzrK31FgoGAnstDqbILPaY1y6hmwVZq_Y7t3eG30Ymrx454lCgCqZDYAWtQzG8MokQu1NbyPPyG-4FdGj5bTzv0SojyqL4/s1600-h/00820m.jpg"><img style="display:block;

With the use of solid, earthy tones, this collection doesn't really feel like a Spring-Summer collection at all, but more like Fall-Winter. Hm...This season's collection is very basic, with crinkles, creases and drawstrings as its theme. Exotics such as python are used here and there, but the shapes of the bags seem to be identical, regardless of the materials used. Bagaholic Babe, a lover of bright colours feels that it's a tad too plain and not summery enough. I used to be a fan of Prada, but with last F/W and this coming S/S collection, I might change my mind soon...<br /></span></div>Bagaholic Babehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07544638027588443348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540654027862139469.post-72763736687716245692008-08-13T00:15:00.004+08:002008-08-13T00:15:00.702+08:00Bagging For AttentionBy Dzireena Mahadzir<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A Thai designer makes unusual and beautiful bags from combining exotic skins with semi-precious stones. But it's all just a hobby to him.</span><br /><br />PIROON Wacharamontri is an unlikely bag designer, considering his day job. A lawyer by training and profession, he makes handbags as a hobby.<br /><br />But his bags, which are made of exotic skins and lambskin and embellished with semi-precious stones, have become so popular, his hobby might just become a full-time career!To date, his bags have been sold in Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and the United States, with high-end stores like Neiman Marcus and Lane Crawford carrying his designs. The latest market is Malaysia with his creations being sold at the new Tang's at Pavilion in Kuala Lumpur.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZUBuYaNV__F62mkbcibubzrNki06z7y5Ghe9O2C19dQxIG-sc8JavpzCynyiPvvj_qrYCNrvVWojOjYgGQ3JNEh1iqiPyLGojqlYCEZNhPYLgsGZKC34yfk_NVtm1Z_PIc1egLIJiWaOX/s1600-h/bagatelle1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZUBuYaNV__F62mkbcibubzrNki06z7y5Ghe9O2C19dQxIG-sc8JavpzCynyiPvvj_qrYCNrvVWojOjYgGQ3JNEh1iqiPyLGojqlYCEZNhPYLgsGZKC34yfk_NVtm1Z_PIc1egLIJiWaOX/s400/bagatelle1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233546160297685554" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">[Red and green dominate the Fall/Winter 2007 collection]</span><br /><br /><br /><br /> For now, however, the boyish Piroon, 34, is content to design the bags that do not even carry his name. In KL, they are being sold under the label, Bagatelle.<br /><br />Piroon started making bags five years ago. His interest was sparked by his love for semi-precious stones. The leather was more like a canvas for him to play with the gems.<br /><br />"It started when a friend in Hong Kong, who owns a gallery that sells jewellery, asked me to design some pieces. He said why not think up something different, so I ended up putting precious stones on bags. So the concept is more like semi-precious stones on good leather," he says during an interview in Bangkok.<br /><br />"I have two lines, Seasonal and Classic. The Seasonal's first batch has only 15 bags. If they sell well, I'll make 30. The maximum number for each style is 50, and only two for each country.<br /><br />However for my Classic line, I won't make more than 30 pieces. I also custom make pieces for my clients in Bangkok who tell me what they want."<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTuZGucLs4LvuwqwDsapleO4OoA1wEQK_HzFlWSwKWk-t1ftqbKdmJ7VPf39PdQhdEnw9h7McPE2_F7XJVjxKi4VbYOyBIDtzKGk-YQuur83fCOkGdpj4OWIFj9G0DMSdxwYHI8osiC1Vq/s1600-h/bagatelle2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTuZGucLs4LvuwqwDsapleO4OoA1wEQK_HzFlWSwKWk-t1ftqbKdmJ7VPf39PdQhdEnw9h7McPE2_F7XJVjxKi4VbYOyBIDtzKGk-YQuur83fCOkGdpj4OWIFj9G0DMSdxwYHI8osiC1Vq/s400/bagatelle2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233547239637902114" /></a><span style="font-style:italic;">[The Ibiza bag, perfect for parties]</span><br /><br /><br /><br /> Piroon gets his ideas from his travels; this season he was inspired by Spain, so the main colours are red and green.<br /><br />His collections initially comprised clutch bags because he thinks they are sexy.<br /><br />"But now I have moved to other bags. This Fall/Winter I'm using onyx, pearls, smoky quartz, tiger eyes and green jade. For Spring 2008, I am looking at corals and turquoise. Gold is the colour this year but silver is also popular, so I have chosen pewter. I like exotic skins, and I like amethysts and smoky quartz."<br /><br />Piroon doesn't seem concerned with making very practical bags as most designs offer little room to hold things and yet are rather heavy. But there's no mistaking their wow factor. Carry one and you can expect attention. A Bagatelle is so well embellished, it could be the only accessory you need for the evening.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4jCX0JXQcuHHvf8OnfhwM7mo0NZmiVE_eF-VX_lG5SRDIq4ut_Lt7MSutRt_ayFTp2ojzJZT3nfVQzaWYIKEf8QTM7CrZ2dAv0dy7uieSlLKe2nIFXwwwcYj39JhPO6dESVDRWeyJ8l3b/s1600-h/bagatelle3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4jCX0JXQcuHHvf8OnfhwM7mo0NZmiVE_eF-VX_lG5SRDIq4ut_Lt7MSutRt_ayFTp2ojzJZT3nfVQzaWYIKEf8QTM7CrZ2dAv0dy7uieSlLKe2nIFXwwwcYj39JhPO6dESVDRWeyJ8l3b/s400/bagatelle3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233547935069904498" /></a><span style="font-style:italic;">[Piroon Wacharamontri calls his creations jewellery bags]</span><br /><br /><br /><br /> Not surprisingly, Piroon says his customers are mainly in their 30s and older, as he believes you need to attain a certain level of sophistication to appreciate his bags.<br /><br />"I don't like the word 'fashion', I prefer 'style'. Why don't you have your own style, be different. I call my bags jewellery bags."<br /><br />What's interesting about these bags is that the stones are so beautiful that you feel like taking them off the bags and wearing them as jewellery. In fact, Piroon, says he has designed handbags where you can take the "handle" off and wear it as a necklace!<br /><br />Although his bags are a hobby, Piroon does have his eye on expanding further: "I'm looking forward to distributing the bags in more countries, but in limited pieces. I don't want everyone carrying the same bag. I'd also like to design a home collection, I used to design candles with semi precious stones. Now I'm looking at the business aspect, so one thing I'd like to see is my bags being sold all over the world!"<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">*Bagatelle's Fall/Winter 2007 range, and Classic line are available at Tang & Co, Tang's, Pavilion, KL.

The shoulder straps are braided and has ring insets throughout the strap. Open up the bag with the double zips to a roomy interior that'll cater to your everyday needs. <br /><br />Suitable for almost every occasion, the bag matches most outfits. However, the gray looks like patches of dirt from a far, the sides of the satchel don't look appealing and the bag simply doesn't go well with brass/gold-looking hardware. And if you were to look more closely, again, we're looking at details.. and lots of 'em. Pleats, folded sides, braided shoulder straps, brass hardware. Too elements contained in one bag alone. But of course, after having reviewed many bags this fall, it looks as if it's a trend among the designers this season.<br /><br />Anyhow, if you'd like to find out more about this Italian-made satchel, <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod64970035&parentId=cat13030738&masterId=cat14210731&index=54&cmCat=cat000000cat000141cat14210731cat13030738">click here</a><br /><br />The <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod64970035&parentId=cat13030738&masterId=cat14210731&index=54&cmCat=cat000000cat000141cat14210731cat13030738">Chloe Heloise Python East-West Satchel</a> is available for the price of $4,495.00 via <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com">Neiman Marcus</a><br /><br />Please note: Python is not available in California.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540654027862139469.post-7243977448341274412008-07-01T09:55:00.000+08:002008-07-01T09:56:49.626+08:00Newsflash -- 100 Limited Edition LV Neverfull BagsDear BagAddicts,<br /><br />The ever popular and soon-to-be iconic Neverfull bag by Louis Vuitton is now available in a <b>Limited Edition</b> version. The Limited Edition piece is available in Exotic Croc skins. Only <b>100 pieces</b> of these bags will be available. I'm not sure if it will be available in Malaysia though, but sources have told me that it will be available across the causeway, over in Singapore. Limited Edition Neverfull bags will be available this month (July). So if you're an LV collector and wanna get your hands on this exclusive piece, hurry out to your nearest LV boutique. As for the price, I'm not sure how much these beauties cost. Bagaholic Babe has had the privilege to view this Limited edition in Violet croc, though I'm not sure if it'll be available in other colours. But hey, it's a limited edition so I guess the colour doesn't really matter.Bagaholic Babehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07544638027588443348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540654027862139469.post-29073427027948444532008-05-12T16:49:00.003+08:002008-05-13T15:08:39.824+08:00Splurge of the Week!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFELu8xtiQXAb_VCKQ_p0Cv0UOJs5BW0ezmtHD7lkq_2x_cf2bNu4cZJXRzU-hXj-5X2gebreebF1Q6SCTV-45n4v1mFzMOLz_1-o63TalnWIvo3RqnwPOm4AbALJ_KleAEdBa1K96J1gr/s1600-h/fendi.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFELu8xtiQXAb_VCKQ_p0Cv0UOJs5BW0ezmtHD7lkq_2x_cf2bNu4cZJXRzU-hXj-5X2gebreebF1Q6SCTV-45n4v1mFzMOLz_1-o63TalnWIvo3RqnwPOm4AbALJ_KleAEdBa1K96J1gr/s320/fendi.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199411048176544210" /></a><a href="http://eluxury.com/estore/browse/product_detail.jsp?id=11776779">Fendi Fringed Zebra Baguette</a><br /><br />This week's splurge is a very unusual zebra printed pony hair with multicolored leather fringe tied to the bag seams throughout. The bag comes with brushed gold metal hardware, 2 detachable multicolor leather shoulder straps (one long, the other shorter)and golden appliques on each side, all items logo-engraved. The baguette opens with a flap at the top and opens up to interior twist-lock closures that allow the buckles to be removed and sumptuous suede lining. <br /><br />Whenever I look at the baguette, I cannot help but remember the song 'Born to be Wild'. No doubt about it, the prints say it all. Colorful fringes, zebra prints, pony hair.. definitely hard to miss in a crowd.. which I feel is a little too much. The bag contains too many elements together at the same time. It would've been perfect if it was just the zebra printed pony hair alone. What do you think?

What can we say, 'wraps' are just her area of expertise! Lol. Bagaholic Babe rather likes this wrap ultra-luxe croc bag in burnt orange. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX8_rZ7Y7N86mjEb_568HT0uwzzFYwzXoe_-fMd5K1ZNS9BWDeVT811r47YkhmRuAJwXHiE6QxDlNqU4F4Alcv5-iTid5G5X0iV983XFqYRvLdw39HLXMNkc3KsivGcfh-Jkayu82kfyhI/s1600-h/Donna+Karan+Embellished+Pouch.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX8_rZ7Y7N86mjEb_568HT0uwzzFYwzXoe_-fMd5K1ZNS9BWDeVT811r47YkhmRuAJwXHiE6QxDlNqU4F4Alcv5-iTid5G5X0iV983XFqYRvLdw39HLXMNkc3KsivGcfh-Jkayu82kfyhI/s400/Donna+Karan+Embellished+Pouch.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168897826924439650" /></a><br />Embellished Pouch by <b>Donna Karan</b> <br /><br /><b>The Verdict</b>: This suede pouch comes totally embellished and encrusted in oversized rhinestones that well, er, look like rusty bells or those coin charms you get on charm bracelets from afar, don't you think? I mean, I could hardly tell that it was rhinestones. Bagaholic Babe isn't too much of a fan for this bag. To me, I think that it has a rather Indian influence and vibe, with those 'bell-looking' oversized rhinestones that remind me of those bells that Classical Indian dancers adorn on their ankles.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgEO-hQ2d_XyRBRw2PfJ_-JDpb4FC2yOBu26nZMY1lnReuYOuriuNYseb3EVtbbyC1UkJukqZgNWMpLMEgbqCervjPrKwtBhb9T192FRWKZtDj-19dCA57LuG-F-XMCAfMDuNHOc1SaoNh/s1600-h/Marc+Jacobs+Double+Ring+Bag.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgEO-hQ2d_XyRBRw2PfJ_-JDpb4FC2yOBu26nZMY1lnReuYOuriuNYseb3EVtbbyC1UkJukqZgNWMpLMEgbqCervjPrKwtBhb9T192FRWKZtDj-19dCA57LuG-F-XMCAfMDuNHOc1SaoNh/s400/Marc+Jacobs+Double+Ring+Bag.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168897831219406962" /></a><br />Double Ring Bag by <b>Marc Jacobs</b><br /><br /><b>The Verdict</b>: This Double Ring bag by Marc Jacobs reminds me of the 'Lindy' Bag by Hermes from last Fall/Winter. I guess it's just the whole concept on which the bag is based on - from the double rings to the supple 'folded-in-the-centre' look. Although Bagaholic Babe doesn't really like bags which are to structured, this one isn't my cuppa tea at all. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHJ2WktKK5l-ZO9ReosyeEx2V424JhFQP9o_tGRfrk2-0qA3jgFfltNPaCJgoaWgC2FkXTL7JR90lNZThLZ3CMBp1irALVUyo2VuAGyxoXuLj9KygDyzvqx0zGv4-Fbe5vGLBazgeTjuNc/s1600-h/Ralph+Lauren+City+Country+Bag.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHJ2WktKK5l-ZO9ReosyeEx2V424JhFQP9o_tGRfrk2-0qA3jgFfltNPaCJgoaWgC2FkXTL7JR90lNZThLZ3CMBp1irALVUyo2VuAGyxoXuLj9KygDyzvqx0zGv4-Fbe5vGLBazgeTjuNc/s400/Ralph+Lauren+City+Country+Bag.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168897835514374274" /></a><br />The City/Country Bag by <b>Ralph Lauren</b><br /><br /><b>The Verdict</b>: Well, Ralph Lauren, whose brand philosophy is premised on the whole 'sporting arena', is true to it's sporting style with this luxed-up version of a plaid 'hunting bag' with croc flap. Bagaholic Babe loves the way the crimson stands out against the black top flap. Very eye-catching indeed, however bags like these aren't really my style. But it's a nice bag though.<br /><br /><li>To view other accessories picks like shoes and jewellery that made it into NY Fashion Week's 'IT List', <a href="http://www.style.com/trends/accessoryreport/F2008ALIST">Click Here!</a href></li><br /><br />(all images from Style)Bagaholic Babehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07544638027588443348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540654027862139469.post-21674145121274673772008-01-28T21:31:00.000+08:002008-01-28T16:45:15.127+08:00Splurge of the WeekThis week's Splurge of the Week features a new bag from Gucci's Spring/Summer 2008 Collection. I'm usually not so much of a Gucci fan, but this one's a whole different story. This bag is Very Un-Gucci-esque in the sense of its unstructured, rather slouchy shape.<br /><br />Presenting to you, today's Splurge, the 'Hysteria' Python Bag from Gucci's Spring/Summer 2008 Collection. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfzjQvnkbcmA5xeVS2SYFP8cwBC430m3HzMcXLqi0KyCEkLL7hxKXMAGz5u1aIJceDw6nHpQK3U_fXhIWk6BP5Gm92clAaNx88l0if9EDKab1LmCmt6VzdeGHokqMifYTqIqBZHmt5ikFn/s1600-h/Gucci+Hysteria+Python+Bag.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfzjQvnkbcmA5xeVS2SYFP8cwBC430m3HzMcXLqi0KyCEkLL7hxKXMAGz5u1aIJceDw6nHpQK3U_fXhIWk6BP5Gm92clAaNx88l0if9EDKab1LmCmt6VzdeGHokqMifYTqIqBZHmt5ikFn/s400/Gucci+Hysteria+Python+Bag.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159777961559935106" /></a><br />Hysteria Python Bag (Medium Size)<br /><br />This medium sized top handled bag comes in black python with a detachable shoulder strap so that you can wear it crossbody style should you get tired of lugging your stuff in your arm. Well, crossbody is definitely more convenient, especially when you need both hands free to do your shopping, but Bagaholic Babe is more of a 'arm' style kinda gal. <br /><br />However, this item is not available in California due to state laws on python products. If you don't like this bag in Python, and for those of you residing in California, this Hysteria Bag in Medium size also comes in Black patent. Actually, I much prefer the one in Patent, but I thought I'd feature the one in Python since it's our regular 'Splurge' of the Week post as the Patent doesn't really warrant itself as a 'splurge' per se. If you like this bag, it's available via <a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446183781&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492709361&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474399545537&bmUID=1201354247606&ev19=1:1">Saks </a href> for $3,990.

So today, here's yet another Animal Print Haircalf Tote - the 'Safari City' Tote in zebra print (although not in a very zebra-esque colour) by lesser known designer, Renaud Pellegrino. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAnxShdi7obBYLgBKJj_ImFbD5xFK5zehpNeVI9KgsWg1MWqTPMzpj1Hq-dCuyJWrAmcH3yWW1AfSeEyirv1U0-xnttUOJARYTqE3NRivBEHg75-Z-dNkJxBkV5B0dPFk9ri2NoGzOe3YB/s1600-h/Safari+City+Tote.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAnxShdi7obBYLgBKJj_ImFbD5xFK5zehpNeVI9KgsWg1MWqTPMzpj1Hq-dCuyJWrAmcH3yWW1AfSeEyirv1U0-xnttUOJARYTqE3NRivBEHg75-Z-dNkJxBkV5B0dPFk9ri2NoGzOe3YB/s400/Safari+City+Tote.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151622951810437266" /></a><br /><br />This Safari City Tote comes with removable shoulder straps. What I love about this Pellegrino tote is the unique zippered angled pockets that are parallel to the envelope-shaped top flap closure. In fact, Bagaholic Babe initially thought that the zippers were actually the fastening for the top flap. It gives that sort of illusion at first glance, don't you think? Honestly, I've had my eye on this tote for a while. And now, the good news is that it's on sale!

The reason for that isn't because we don't feature those anymore, but because there weren't nice accessories for your bag worth writing about. Today, I've finally found something very girlish and cutesy that will definitely brighten up the contents of your bag, be it a small or oversized bag that you're toting around. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGX8JO9qGMyIhzEXZ5gNNSzqdVFtqnpUvZidBFgjD57kl4ngOLpXGAcS9F0C3iFiUQXdYgB7DCrApN_X1T2oKlEA1LHxMEVz0OkowGeslTeE_bhrdwb4Y-6x3C-mqz5FYr5p4PIWB4mMfd/s1600-h/Luella+Heart+Coin+Purse.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGX8JO9qGMyIhzEXZ5gNNSzqdVFtqnpUvZidBFgjD57kl4ngOLpXGAcS9F0C3iFiUQXdYgB7DCrApN_X1T2oKlEA1LHxMEVz0OkowGeslTeE_bhrdwb4Y-6x3C-mqz5FYr5p4PIWB4mMfd/s400/Luella+Heart+Coin+Purse.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140799838610397666" /></a><br /><br />Isn't this heart-shaped coin purse so adorable?

This week features the designer's Metallic Python Tote. For those of you not in the know, the designer was a dermatologist-turned-designer. Using his Dermatology background, Zagliani discovered a new technique in the art of handbag making when he came up with the idea of injecting exotic skins such as Python and Crocodile with Silicone to give Exotic skins a buttery soft texture. So needless to say, this designer specialises in Exotic skin handbags.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdCUrMCPacjh7uc9-6lmyHrdnPMBDOnHOvPfy3OvyQopGZ1Caim0_V5h54lBtQgrzhTMSgVTimixaO56U0plqylMyLQVoYa2GGZI6EMx-GD31HC2uDNQ4oZc-1zORjrSER3Vi2i20ng25w/s1600-h/Zagliani+Metallic+Python.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdCUrMCPacjh7uc9-6lmyHrdnPMBDOnHOvPfy3OvyQopGZ1Caim0_V5h54lBtQgrzhTMSgVTimixaO56U0plqylMyLQVoYa2GGZI6EMx-GD31HC2uDNQ4oZc-1zORjrSER3Vi2i20ng25w/s400/Zagliani+Metallic+Python.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130832231533925650" /></a><br /><br />This belted frame top Metallic Python Bag has expandable gusseted sides and is dubbed as "this season's showstopping 'It' Bag of the season."

So needless to say, it was love at first bite when I first saw this Michael Kors Animal Printed Haircalf Bag. Like most Animal Print bags, these bags were inspired by Safari animals such as the Zebra and the Leopard. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOggxlbDKc01oeQMCnNFt_lkY2hAMjOa0IuNeI30LrGhNTYKKe3-rT4Zu34SUZW7E4uWlLvr9AJhqM8glkYbWT8Y2hNGXTc_zZPzBtKshijxwtJ8x_0a6fEjVdVTE-Lnatmb1DJVsg3kGI/s1600-h/Michael+Kors+Haircalf.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOggxlbDKc01oeQMCnNFt_lkY2hAMjOa0IuNeI30LrGhNTYKKe3-rT4Zu34SUZW7E4uWlLvr9AJhqM8glkYbWT8Y2hNGXTc_zZPzBtKshijxwtJ8x_0a6fEjVdVTE-Lnatmb1DJVsg3kGI/s400/Michael+Kors+Haircalf.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130471918137529586" /></a><br /><br />This Haircalf Cut Out handle bag has a leather strap with chain link detail trimmings at the top.

It's so colorful, it can be a standalone - minus the accessories and it's enough to take other's breath away.<br /><br />And what about the 'Graphic Clutch' from Christian Dior? It's luxurious ponyskin as well as it's unique design gives others the idea that there is none like it. Definitely an accessory to carry on a dinner date. Be the envy of others while your beau serenades you. <br /><br />(Images from Style)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540654027862139469.post-91539370150089652252007-10-23T10:40:00.000+08:002007-10-23T12:08:11.322+08:00'It' Bag List - Milan Fashion Week S/S '08Yes, Fashion Week ended a couple of weeks ago, so Here's the <b> Bag 'It List' </b> Roundup from <b>Milan Fashion Week, Spring/Summer 2008</b>.

The colour and the zippered details just <i>'make'</i> the bag! A diversion from the Tods philosophy of Functionality and Classic looking bags, but I absoloutely love it! They should have 'louder' bags of this sort. Very ME indeed. </li><br /><br /><li>For a more Classic looking bag, who could say no to the <b>Embroidered Satchel by Bottega Veneta</b>? Love the pastel ombre embroidery details. A bag that can definitely take you from a casual shopping day right into the office! </li><br /><br />(Images from Style)Bagaholic Babehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07544638027588443348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540654027862139469.post-89059752730147502192007-10-15T22:14:00.000+08:002007-10-15T08:40:04.666+08:00Splurge of the Week!Animal prints are still very <i>'now'</i>, so this week's Splurge of the Week is the Zebra Messenger Bag from Roberto Cavalli's Fall/Winter 2007 Collection.
