Juicy Couture Valentine's Gifts

For those of you who are on a tighter budget or if you don't wanna get something as pricey as yesterday's Louis Vuitton heart purse, here's 2 items which are similar, both from Juicy Couture.

First up, is the Heart Crossbody Bag.


Similar in style and look to the LV Heart purse featured yesterday - its monogram is embossed onto the bag, and has that 'glossy' look. This Heart Crossbody Bag by Juicy Couture comes with tan-coloured crossbody strap with clips, so it converts into a clutch once the strap is removed. Get this sweet pastel pink bag for just $75 - just a fraction of the price compared to yesterday's LV Heart purse. Available via Neiman Marcus


Next up, also by Juicy Couture, is the Heart Jewellery Box.



Also similar to the item above, it also has logo embossed monogram and a hanging pearl logo charm at the zipper. Enclosed is the 'I am the fairest' mirror, four compartments and one ring holder. Again, it's similar to the LV Heart purse featured on our blog yesterday. Retails for just $55 via Neiman Marcus

Presenting: Chanel's New Ankle Bag, Hot off the Runway!!

Hot off the runway, is this new fad, the Ankle Bag! Seen on Chanel's the Spring/Summer 2008 runway at Fashion Week recently, this ankle bag is a novelty indeed! I've never seen any designer do an ankle bag before. The trend is quickly spreading like wildfire in the Celebrity circuit. Rumour has it that ankle bags was a trend fueled by celebs on House Arrest, who used this sort of ankle bag to hide their House Arrest detector thing-a-ma-jig. Very clever indeed, don't you think?


However, Bagaholic Babe isn't a fan of it though.
Do you think that this trend will catch on? Tell us what YOU think!!

Bargain of the Week!

This week's Bargain of the Week is of the Specialty Bag sort, ie. a bag intended for a specific purpose. For this week, imported directly from Japan, it's super-cute grocery bags you can cart along during your grocery shopping trip. Yep, since Anya Hindmarch's 'I'm Not a Plastic Bag', Grocery bags are quickly becoming fashion statements. Since then, it has become a sin not to have a fab grocery bag. Made of polyester, these bags are enviromentally friendly too! Choose from 2 cute and quirky designs, the Chihuahua, or the Jelly bean print grocery tote.



Don't you think the Chihuahua print one reminds us a little of Anya Hindmarch's printed Blue Label Bags? These adorable bags even have a side zippered cellphone pocket with an additional pocket on the inside! Also chihuahua and jelly bean-printed, depending on the exterior of the bag. Get these cute totes for just $30 each via Fred Flare

Bargain of the Week!

We at Bagfetish Unleashed are still loving Animal Prints, so needless to say, this week's Bargain of the Week is of the Animal sort - The "Palais Royale Animal Patent Continental Checkbook Wallet" (doesn't it sound so grand?, Lol) by Rafe New York.




Funk up the contents of your bag with this Cheetah printed Checkbook case cum wallet - you can actually use it as both! So not only does it look HOT but also saves space too! Made of rich patent leather (Patent is HOT this Fall/Winter season!) and lined with leather, this checkbook wallet holds 5 credit cards, your cash, etc. Plus, it also has a rear compartment with a snap closure. Get this via Zappos Couture for $198.95

Handbags that Light Up when Opened

Handbags To Light Up Your Life
by Amanda Gore

Solas Fashion 'inspired by the healing powers of light and colour' have produced handbags that light up when open. An idea born from not being able to find her keys at night, creator Kara Kurcz decided to incorporate a neon light into the frame of her bags.



Combining design and functionality with spirituality the bags come in a range of styles and choice of light colour- orange for 'sensual healing', yellow for 'self esteem', purple for 'self reflection' etc. It may sound like just a gimmick, but it's one that many girls in the US are already embracing- the bags have been seen in most of the gossip magazines, thanks mainly to celebrity endorsement from the likes of Vanessa Manillo, Scarlett Johansson and Cameron Diaz.




Britney Spears with Solas 'Chakra'


Solas 'Healing Clutch'


The cheesy blurb on the site states- "Our symbol represents the four elements; Earth, Wind, Fire and Water. Every clutch comes with a detatchable charm that will help motivate your day and inspire your life". The claims may be grandiose, but that's not deterring the customers- nor are the clever multi-functionality ideas including detachable straps that double as necklaces and wallets that become evening clutches- the newest styles are already on back order.
