Splurge of the Week!

Animal prints are still very 'now', so this week's Splurge of the Week is the Zebra Messenger Bag from Roberto Cavalli's Fall/Winter 2007 Collection. It's not often that you see a messenger bag with a belted detail, and this is why the bag looks unique! Not your average conventional messenger bag at all!





As we all know, animal prints are one of Roberto Cavalli's signatures. Made of Animal Print Ponyhair, this unique messenger bag is definitely a splurge - £1,310.64 via Net-a-Porter

Splurge of the Week!

This week's Splurge of the Week is a Limited Edition Satchel from Roberto Cavalli's Fall 2007 Collection. Even though many would perceive this item as slightly mature-looking, I absolutely love this bag! So classy and so expensive looking!


Roberto Cavalli Satchel


Side View

Made of Crocodile-printed calf leather , this 'Medium' Satchel comes with a shoulder strap with chain detail, giving you the option of converting it into a shoulder bag. The croc-printed leather bits and details give the bag a touch of class, and the 'RC' logo in gold gives off a somewhat vintage vibe. It's definitely a key piece if you want to accentuate your Fall/Winter look this year! Pre-Order this zebra striped Roberto Cavalli Satchel for $1890 via Nordstrom . Pay only when your item arrives!

Roberto Cavalli Suede and Python Satchel

Very rarely does Roberto Cavalli create such a simple and understated bag, devoid of animal prints and without the Punk-Rock Chic vibe that he is known for. This Roberto Cavalli Suede Satchel stands out because it is so different from the rest of his bags. Don't get me wrong, for you all know that I'm a huge fan of Animal Prints, but this one isso toned down and in such an beautiful shade of deep purple that were it not for the 'RC' logo embossed on the python panel in the middle of the bag, I wouldn't have guessed that it was by Cavalli. Oh and the best part of the bag? I love the handles! Available via Nordstrom for $1,900

Roberto Cavalli Vodka

Well I know this is not really related to handbags except maybe for the designer, but I thought it'll be interesting to let you guys know about it!

In 2006, Couture designer Roberto Cavalli has come out with his own brand of Vodka, "Roberto Cavalli Vodka". Below is the press release from the Roberto Cavalli Website.

Roberto Cavalli Vodka

Roberto Cavalli Vodka



An extremely pure, light and easy vodka to drink with absolutely zero aftertaste. It is made using the purest water from the peaks of Monte Rosa.

“The art of hospitality has always been one of my greatest passions” – says Roberto Cavalli – “that’s why creating this Vodka felt very natural and spontaneous to me – it’s limpid, pure and brilliant as my perfect woman.”

Since this autumn, Roberto Cavalli Vodka is available in the most exclusive clubs and restaurants in New York, Miami and Los Angeles. It is distributed by Southern Wines and Spirits for the US market.
In Europe, it is on sale only at Just Cavalli Café in Via Spiga 30, Milan. The price of the bottle is 50€.



Thank-you for your attention.

So, to tie in with the festivities, Bagaholic Babe puts the spotlight on Clutches!

First up, is the Bottega Veneta Butterfly Woven Clutch


This Bottega Veneta clutch is made of textured leather with a knotted leather clasp. It is elegant and chic, and in short, a true statement of understated simplicity. Perfect for a Christmas Ball, Winter Formal or an Elegant Evening Gala event if you want to be the Belle of the Ball. It measures 7 inches X 4 inches X 2.5 inches. Available at Net-a-Porter

Second on the list, is the Diane von Furstenberg Leather Clutch


Metallics are in this season and as showcased in the collections shown at Fashion Week, Metallics are here to stay! So, what better way to get ahead of the rest? Show everyone your fashion forward-ness by using this Metallic Leather clutch! Diane von Furstenberg also seems to have caught onto the 'Feng Shui' trend by adding an auspicious Macrame knot detail on the clutch, thus giving the bag a slightly Oriental feel to it as well! This clutch, like the Bottega Veneta clutch above, is also perfect for a Christmas Ball and Elegant Evening Gala, BUT provided that you're going to be attending the After Party as well!
Available at Net-a-Porter , this Diane von Furstenberg clutch measures 12 inches X 5.5 inches X 2.5 inches and is lined in suede.

To add a little 'Bling' to your outfit, the Judith Leiber Slender Curve Pave Crystal Clutch


Judith Leiber is known for her signature hard-cased crystal-encrusted Pave clutches that comes in animal shapes such as the Mandarin Duck (as seen in Sex and the City), fruits, and other quirky designs that add a little fun to your outfit. However, this clutch stands out from the rest of her quirky collectors' pieces due to its uniform shape and structure and push lock closure. It also comes with a coin purse and double-sided mirror. Judith Leiber thinks of everything, doesn't she?

With this clutch, you'll definitely be Red Carpet worthy and Red Carpet ready. And, with the amount of Bling on this clutch, you don't even have to wear any jewellery! Actually, it's advisable that you DON'T wear any jewellery, otherwise, you'll end up looking like an overly decorated Christmas tree (pardon the pun). That aside, this Judith Leiber clutch is the perfect accent piece that will complement your LBD (Little Black Dress) or even your black evening/ball gown if you like. To add a little more elegance to your outfit, sweep your hair in a loose updo, grab your clutch, and you'll be ready for your closeup! ;) *winks*
