Top 10 "It" Bags

By Stephanie Prommer, About.com

An "It-Bag" is a designer handbag that is deemed the "must-have" item of the moment as a result of a combination of celebrity usage, clever marketing techniques, superior quality and their ability to represent the mood of the season. They are generally produced in limited edition quantities.

These are the 10 "It" bags of seasons past and present, that we feel every handbag enthusiast should own, or at least know about.

1. Hermes Birkin
The Hermès Birkin bag is named after the iconic actress Jane Birkin, who once had a highly public relationship with influential french singer, Serge Gainsbourg, to whom she bore a child (Charlotte Gainsbourg). The 'Birkin' is the symbol of ultimate luxury, due in part to its exposure on popular television shows such as 'Sex and the City'. An authentic 'Birkin' costs upwards of $6,000 and can have a waiting time of up to 2 years.

2. Chanel 2.55
This little classic will always be "in". It was born in 1955 (hence the name 2.55) after Coco Chanel decided she wanted a shoulder bag to free up her hands and is inspired py the quilting on Jockeys coats. Karl Lagerfeld released a second, updated version in 2006.

3. Chloe Paddington
The Chloe Paddington was created by designer Phoebe Philo in 2005 and is considered to be the quintessential 'Boho-Chic' bag because of it's slouchy, unstructured shape and exposure by stars such as Kate Moss and Sienna Miller, who are known for their bohemian sense of style. A leather Paddington typically costs around $1,500.

4. Balenciaga 'City' Motorcycle
Balenciaga's line of motorcycle-inspired handbags are created out of distressed goat leather, which is what gives them their unique, relaxed shape. The 'City' bag in particular, caused quite a stir after becoming the official handbag of choice for notorious fashionistas like Mary-Kate Olsen. The Balenciaga 'City' bag is not available online and retails for about $1,200.

5. Alexander McQueen Novak
The Alexander McQueen Novak represents the structured shapes of Fall 2005 and was inspired by Kim Novak, a vintage-era starlet who appeared in Alfred Hitchcock films. It's original run consisted of a mere 200 bags, which caused mass hysteria among handbag lovers everywhere and elevated the bag into permanent "It" status.

6. Marc Jacobs Stam
The Marc Jacobs 'Stam' is named after the designers close friend, Canadian Supermodel, Jessica Stam. The bag features quilting and gold hardware similar to that of classic quilted Chanel bags, but differentiates itself with it's relaxed look, gusseted frame and kiss-lock closure. Practically everyone in Hollywood has one and it retails online for around $1,300.

7. Fendi Spy
The Fendi S/S 06 'Spy' Bag is priced starting at $2,100 and is a favorite of style stars like Hilary Duff and Linda Evangelista. It's notorious status is caused partly by it's enormous waiting list, which can last up to 3 years.

8. YSL Muse
The Yves Saint Laurent muse is a status bag of the highest quality. Crafted out of the finest embossed leather, this oversize structured tote features expertly minimalist gold hardware and is often carried by celebrities such as Katie Holmes, Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss and Jessica Alba. They are often sold out and are priced starting around $1,200.

9. Prada Gauffre
One of the latest "It-bags" to hit the market is the Fall/Winter 06/07 Prada Gauffre. Victoria Beckham, Halle Berry, Beyonce and Madonna have all been photographed with theirs. It is made of Nappa leather and retails for $1,800-2,650.

10. Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy 30
The Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Speedy 30 is more of a mainstay classic than a trend, but that doesn't stop it from maintaining "must-have" status all year round! Jessica Simpson carries hers practically every day. It is the ideal city bag, featuring a roomy interior with natural cowhide exterior and golden hardware. Price: $620.

The Top Three Prada Bags of All Time

by Monique E.

Nine times out of ten, getting a Prada handbag is going to be a good fashion investment. Today, the vast majority of these bags look really nice, are versatile and are trendy additions to your wardrobe. But there are three special bags that Prada has made that are going to stand the test of time and that you going to just keep on carrying season after season, and year after year.

So, what are the best Prada handbags? These are purses that women can carry them around because they are versatile, made of high-quality materials and trendy.

Prada Prize #3: The third best Prada bag is the Prada bowling bag, which came out this year. This bag is cute and timeless, which means that you will be able to carry it wherever you go. Another great about this bag with two small handles is that you can get it in several colors and styles. The Prada bowling bag is boxy and big enough to hold almost anything that you would need. Whether you want it in red, green or a classical color like black, you'll be able to find it.

Prada Prize #2:The second best Prada bag doesn't have a name, but the BR2375 is total luxury. Made from buffalo leather (how the buffalos got to Italy is beyond me, but somehow Prada made it happens), this bag is soft and delish. The bag has a push lock closure and the back flap folds over the front of the bag to close it. Everyone will know you are carrying a Prada because of the metal faceplate. This bag is classic and classy.

Prada Prize #1: The number one Prada bag is the shopper's leather shoulder tote. You may be wondering why a shoulder tote is the number one Prada handbag, and the answer is simple. If you are able to carry a Prada bag with a retail price of over $1000 to the grocery store, and are able to put your purchases from the mall in such a luxurious bag, people are always going to equate you with this bag. With this Prada bag, you are going to be able to carry it everywhere, and everyone will be jealous of your bag.

Now that you know the top three Prada bags, you may want to know the three Prada bags that you should keep your fingers off of. Sure, the celebrities and super models can get away with carrying these bags, but the average woman will just look like a clown with these bags.

Bad Bag #3: Unless you just escaped from the circus or are a nanny, keep away from the Prada Plex Stampato Tote. This bag just looks like a mess. Plus, with a retail price of about $1200 it's not an affordable mess. Once you carry it, you'll not be able to carry it again, because everyone will notice this loud bag.

Bad Bag #2: For $2,600, women can get the Prada bag of the future: the metallic gaufre messenger bag. If you are planning on dressing like Judy Jetson for Halloween, this may be the right bag. Otherwise, you may want to pass. Puffy, shiny and quilted aren't really a good mix.

Bad Bag #1: The Prada Napa Fringe Hobo is another bag that ordinary women won't be able to carry. Carrying this purse would make any normal woman look like there was a small animal growing out of her arm. The best advice for this bag is to let the celebrities carry it, and just laugh at them.

Sure, Prada is known for good bags, but there are a lot of them that you should not buy. If you think about your purchase and go for a classic bag, you'll be able to carry it around for a long time.

Keith Richards New Face Of Louis Vuitton Core Values Campaign

from European Luxury
Paris, France -

French luxury brand Louis Vuitton announces Rolling Stones Guitarist Keith Richards as the new face of the LV Core Values Campaign.

Following the release of the moving ‘Core Values: Emotions and Travels’ video on the Louis Vuitton website on February 18, the brand continues its story of unusual voyages with Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. Fifth in line after Mikhaïl Gorbatchev, Catherine Deneuve and Andre Agassi with Steffi Graf, the LVMH group announced today that Keith Richard is the new face of the Louis Vuitton Core Values Campaign. The French luxury brand managed to have Keith Richards, well known for his smudged black eyeliner and grungy look, participate for the first time in a publicity campaign.

The campaign visual represents the guitarist in a hotel room sitting on a bed besides a large Louis Vuitton luggage case. Playing a black guitar, his lights are dimmed with black sheer scarves and create a mysterious glow in the room. The photo was shot by the American photographer Annie Leibovitz and has a clever slogan: “Some journeys cannot be put into words. New York. 3 am. Blues in C.

Keith Richards donated all fees paid for his appearance in the Louis Vuitton Core Values Campaign to the Climate Project Association. This initiative from the hand of Al Gore, is supported by Louis Vuitton through the Core Values Campaign.

Antoine Arnault, Head of Communications Louis Vuitton said “We thought it was important to continue with someone unexpected”. “I think when people are flipping through a magazine, this will stop them.”

The Louis Vuitton Ad with Keith Richards will hit fashion and magazines per April.

Briefcases are out and high-end handbags are in for graduation gifts

The Canadian Press

NEW YORK — Krystal Schlegel comes from a family of Hermes fans.

Her mom owns a 76-centimetre, orange, ostrich-leather Birkin and her sister received a white one for Christmas during college. So the high school senior felt graduation would be the perfect time to get her own. "It never goes out of style," the Dallas 18-year-old said. She's been begging since January, dropping hints whenever she and her mom see a person carrying one: "Hey Mom, look at that Birkin!" A leather briefcase used to be the norm for a new graduate, fresh from a backyard party with bills slipped inside congratulation cards. But educational milestones have now become occasions for children to ask for an extra luxurious gift that they won't be able to afford on their own - and the humble briefcase will no longer do.

"Many women dream of a handbag collection to pass down to their daughters or granddaughters one day and giving them one at graduation is a wonderful way to help them start their own collection," said Tina Craig, 38, who runs the purse connoisseur BagSnob. Schlegel said her friends are also specifying designer bags to their parents for gifts. "They want something nice to go to college, and the sororities will look at (the handbags) too," said Schlegel, who is headed this fall to Southern Methodist University. She said her friends were looking into handbags by the French design houses Chloe and Chanel.

The Birkin - which would start at US$6,300 and is still hard to find in stores - may seem a bit much for a teenager during a recession. But a bag at any price can make a perfect graduation gift for a high school graduate headed for college, or a college grad turned loose in the work force.

For luxury on a budget, consignment stores carry used bags from high-end designers. Vintage designer purses, which can cost half the price of a new version, are an affordable option. Craig, who received a new Chanel purse and a vintage Gucci bag for high school graduation, said passing on a favourite designer bag already in a parent's collection would make the occasion even more personal. Buying an older, used handbag is also fine. "Make sure it is something she can actually use, and that it is still stylish today," she cautioned.

Bags with multiple uses, such as ones that are travel-sized or can be carried in different styles, are also good buys, especially as gifts for male graduates. Craig said that briefcases, messengers, or a hybrid of the two styles are the way to go. "They'll be able to use it more," she said. "They can use it when they go on a job interview."

Lindsi Lane, a personal shopper at Barneys New York, has sold Tumi luggage and Tod's messenger bags to male graduates who want something suitable for careers after school. For a 21-year-old going into sports journalism, Lane suggested a Tod's messenger bag because it had an option to be carried as a briefcase. "He felt as though he got a two-for-one deal with the purchase of this great bag," she said. Girls who want to combine designer appeal with practicality may want a large leather bag, like the Balenciaga weekender bag, said Lane. She sold one to a 17-year-old high schooler who would be attending college out-of-state. Besides being large enough for books, the bag "will be beyond practical for her when travelling back and forth from home to school," she said.

Even on a budget, Craig advises spending a little extra for leather, which at a brand like Coach may cost only a $100 more than a cloth counterpart. "Graduation gifts are gifts you want to last for a long time. Leather will wear better than nylon or fabric," she said. Along with the white leather Birkin for which she'll need to be placed on a waiting list, Schlegel is also asking for black Van Cleef and Arpels earrings - "the classic ones" - she explained, that cost $2,000. She considered asking for a getaway but decided the Birkin couldn't wait until college graduation, but the trip could: "I would appreciate it more when I'm older."

Celebrate the 10 Year Anniversary of the Famed Fendi Baguette

We can't believe that the original "it" bag is celebrating it's 10th Anniversary. We can still remember when we saved for months to get our hands on the black microfiber version and 10 years later the FENDI baguette continues to turn heads. It's only fitting that Sex in the City is making its big screen debut and the Fendi baguette is being celebrated considering it was the help of four fictional Manhattanites that helped this designer legend become so popular. Longer than most of our relationships, our infatuation with the Fendi baguette continues and we thought it we'd pay tribute by featuring one of the original styles. The Fendi zucchino baguette measures 9 x 6 x 2 and is a true classic in designer handbags and fashion for that matter. Shop authentic Fendi baguette handbags at up to 40% off now.

We heart Gucci - Gucci Guccissima Handbag

No matter how many different Gucci Guccissima styles we've seen, we never tire of this signature look.

Fashion on a Budget - Designer handbags, clothing and shoes

By Woody Lee

There has been a lot of talk about the economy lately and the forecast isn't looking too good which means it's time to start looking at ways to tighten the budget and cut back on the things you don't absolutely need. Though the thought about going without might seem grim at first, there is a silver lining when it comes to shopping. Just because you have less to spend on fashion doesn't mean you have to stop trying completely, following is a list of tips that help the budget fashionista in all of us keep looking fabulous.

Clothing
I thought starting off with the most obvious wardrobe item was a good way to kick off the list especially since a lot of us have already started thinking of spring wear, plus shopping for clothing on a budget is often the
