As with the roundup for Paris Fashion Week, we give you, today, the roundup for Milan Fashion Week. Indeed, they're the most unbelievable stuff you've ever seen (both in a good and bad way). Tee hee hee. And for the rest of you who missed Fashion Week, well, you'll get to see what caught the eyes of the people right on this post *winks*
The Drum-Shaped Wristlet
Bottega Veneta
Flat round metallic leather zip-top bag
First up is the Bottega zip-top bag which is both cute and funny! It's cute because it DOES look like a cute lil drum haha but heck, how do you go around with one of those?
The Jewelry-Like Bag
Dolce & GabbanaCoral and sequin-embroidered crocodile bag with necklace shoulder chains
This is so overdone. Not for me, no thank you!
The Canvas Tote
Emilio PucciCanvas tote with orange and printed leather trim
Absolutely LOVEEEEEE this one! Love the fact that it's framed, not overdone yet still has a hint of Pucci in it! Three cheers for Emilio Pucci! Hip hip hurray!
The New Exotic
FendiTop-handle python bag
Love this one too. It's one of those that have grown on me over the course of these few weeks. I think it has style and character. Not to mention, very unique too!
The Heritage Bag
GucciThe revamped Jackie shoulder bagGoodness gracious! The title's definitely fit for it. 'The heritage bag' they call it. And under the Gucci brand? So un-Gucci. Being a huge fan of their's, I'd have to say I give them a 1/10 for this one! Boo!
The Waterproof Bag
Tod'sNeoprene shoulder bag in neon coralNice one from Tod's. And in a new color too! How pretty! No reason to not look hip and happening even during the rainy season like we have in the tropical country of Malaysia!
The Metallic Leather Clutch
ValextraRectangular mirrorlike metallic leather clutchLast but not least, this Valextra metallic leather clutch which we've seen over and over again. It's nothing to shout about really. It's been done again and again and what's there to say except... BORING! I don't mean to be a Meanie but don't you think Valextra's a little behind time in their designs? Hehe

Out are the times where people make purchases for seasonal items. Instead, the majority of them seek classic/evergreen items they can collect and wear over the years. And thanks to high fashion and luxurious labels, you'll never have to throw out your newly purchased bag because the zipper's out of order - although you've only really made use of it for 3 months!
This coming Spring, you're looking at luxury in muted browns. Bottega Veneta, well known for its woven bags, shocks us again this season with an extensive range of bags, purses and clutches in caramel right through to dark saffron, copper and chestnut. Check them out below..
An AMAZING collection, wouldn't you agree? Lots of hardwork and dedication was required to bring about such a fine collection - even right down to the intricate details. Fabric treatments and handcrafted leathers were not overlooked as it was necessary to give you all the vibrant summery, earth tones you have today in this collection.
I personally recommend the half woven, half tarnished copper shopper hobo as well as the shopper as they're hot from the oven! I believe they look great with just about anything, they're roomy and not to mention, great arm candy as well! ;)

This week, we bring you a bag that'll definitely WOW you!
Bottega Veneta Crocodile Tote
Yes, this week's recommendation on our Splurge of the Week is the Bottega Veneta Crocodile Tote. A camel colored crocodile piece, this bag comes with silver-tone hardware, top handles with rings and a HUGE price stuck to it.
Priced at $22,680.00, the tote is definitely a splurge but you can be assured of getting something that's only of the finest quality - especially when it comes from Bottega Veneta (one of Italy's leading luxury leather houses).
I don't know about you but to me, it's definitely overpriced. Think about it.. If I had $22,680.00, I'd rather buy 11 bags priced at $2,200 and fill up my closet and yet have a very collection rather than just one measely piece. But if you think this bag is for you, you'll be owning one of the few pieces in the country - let alone in the world. To find out more, click here
