The brand name is a staple in the world of Italian fashion and design. A husband and wife has started this company over 1 hundred years ago. They have started their business with leather items which were designed and made by them. Their products were become popular in all over Italy.

With over 1 hundred years of experience Fendi is Italian Brand name. People like to love great fandy handbags. Fendi handbags are beautiful, trendy and great products that’ll forever. To ensure quality and consistency many people purchase these at full price. However, the bags are often only available in limited qualities and they can be difficult to come by. Finally, several people decide to purchase their Fendi bags at a reasonable price or consider as fendi medium handbag blue.

They have begun to appear in US in the 1980s.A Fendi brand made its being there known in NY city, Los Angeles and California before moving all over country. Now a day, handbags compartment as Fendi name are available almost every where in country. Today, they are not only work with leather handbags.

I’m usually one for only satchel like handbags. In fact, most of my handbags are satchels from Michael Kors and Louis Vuitton. I’ve never been one to like shoulder bags. For some reason, they always seemed to hurt or fall off my shoulder. My shoulder may be in trouble though, because I’ve been drooling over lots of shoulder bag lately.

One of the shoulder bags that I’m in love with is the Versace “New Couture” Leather hobo. This handbag is stunning, and kind of reminds me of the discontinued “Griet” bag. I always loved the “Griet”, but I couldn’t purchase it at the time. Now the “Griet” is sold out world wide, and it’s so great to see a bag that kind of resembles it.

I love the quilted leather, and snap-tab closure featured on the bag. Even the gold hardware goes amazing with the white leather. I think this would make such a beautiful handbag to use in the Spring. White handbags do take a lot of work to keep clean, but when a bag is this beautiful it may be worth the extra maintenance.

If you don’t like this handbag in white, or you’re just simply scared to spend that much money on a handbag that could get dirty never fear because it also comes in black and green. I personally don’t like the green color at all, but the black is stunning. In all honesty, this handbag probably looks more beautiful in black than white. The price is extremely high, so it’s probably better to purchase this bag in black anyways. To spend thousands on a bag that may get filthy isn’t worth it. Well at least to me it isn’t.

The Versace “New Couture” Leather Hobo can be purchased  for $2,295. The bag is stunning, but I think the price is way too high for it. If I’m going to spend that much on a bag, I’d probably put it towards an Hermes “Birkin“. A “Birkin” costs much more than that, but it would be a good amount to start a “bag fund” with

Here’s the first image of Louis Vuitton’s Cruise 2010 ad campaign to surface online. Starring Isabeli Fontana, the campaign was shot by Patrick Demarchelier  Its such a lovely photo. The colors are amazing and really vibrant, makes me wanna go on a vacation. :p More images to come in the coming days. Isabeli’s carrying the Monogram Bulles PM, available for US$1170 at Louis Vuitton stores starting November 2009.

Jimmy Choo is known as the designer brand that makes women drool over beautiful shoes. Everytime I see a Jimmy Choo shoe my heart skips a beat. The shoes are gorgeous, but every now and then the designer brand has some beautiful looking handbags.

When I came across the, Jimmy Choo “Pep” Glazed Canvas Tote I was surprised! When I think of Jimmy Choo, I think of a designer brand that is classy and sophisticated looking. To see that the “Pep” Glazed Tote was made by Jimmy Choo was appalling and shocking at the same time.

I do not like anything about this bag. To me, this bag looks like an absolute mess. You got flags, jewels, lips, and even shoes featured on the bag. If you examine the bag, it really does look like magazine cut outs. The bag is all over the place, and I don’t understand the theme of it at all.

I’m not sure who would actually carry this tote around. I suppose those who love edgy fashion might have an appreciation for this handbag. All I know is that, my wardrobe is edgy for the most part and I despise this bag. I could never see myself using this bag, but of course that is just my opinion. If you happen to love this bag, then rock it out because I know I never could.

The Jimmy Choo “Pep” Glazed Canvas Tote can be purchased at Nordstrom for $995, which I think is ridiculous for this bag. The bag is not cute at all, and the price is way too high. I would think this bag would cost $400 at the most, but when you’re dealing with Jimmy Choo you can never expect a low price. Sorry Jimmy Choo, but this bag get an F in my book.

Jimmy Choo will donate 25% of net sales from the Project PEP collection to the Simelela Rape Centre in South Africa.

Let your exotic styling shine as you carry this Gucci Jungle Large Tote Bag. Need I say more about this stunning carryall? Well obviously, this indeed shows exotic flair and Gucci handbags decided to keep their latest signature trend on it as well for a hint of hipness.

This gucci bags is definitely simple since it only features exotic python all over, though that material alone already makes this tote stunning. It doesn’t need to have anymore other designs as it would only ruin the bag’s natural luxe.

Besides, theres Gucci bamboo detail, which has seem to become their signature accent for their latest collections. These bamboo accents hang on the handles, showing four of which on either side. This also has some piping detail to somewhat add paneling to its totality.

With dimensions of 13? x 11 x 5 inches, this Gucci Jungle Large Tote is sure to pack your entire everyday essentials and whatnots. On the inside are zipped and two open pockets for additional room. Other than the double handles with adjustable knot and drop of 7? inches, this also comes with a detachable metal chain strap of 19 inches drop.

And since this is an exotic Gucci creation, expect it to retail expensively. Indeed, this Gucci purses  sells for $3,800, but perhaps its sophistication and timelessness makes it worth it after all.

For Fall/Winter 2009-2010, Karl Lagerfeld designed ‘Coco Cocoon’, a new collection of sleek, casual handbags and accessories in washed lambskin or nylon. The Coco Cocoon line reveals turned inside out, the signature Chanel quilted pattern which corresponds to Coco Chanel’s perspective that "true luxury is when something is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside".
The collection features a number of pieces from handbags and small leather goods to large travel bags. All pieces are lightweight, really comfortable for use in travel or city escapades from day to night. I quite like some of the bags just because they’re puffy and great for traveling (and could double as a pillow, lol). But some are really chic especially the white totes, bowling bags and the cute little pouches.

Now onto the bag. You may remember this one from the photos I’ve posted months ago, from Vuitton’s Cruise 2010 presentation in New York. The bag was presented in Damier Azur canvas, but that version would be hitting the shelves months from now. You can, however, get the Stresa as early as now… in Monogram Canvas.

Named after a town on the shores of Lake Maggiore in Italy – a popular retreat for the elite – the Stresa has the town’s calmness and timelessness in terms of the design. It’s an elegant bag with an angular shape  and offers a comfortable carrying experience even when full. Effortless chic I say.

The bag features a wide zipped opening for easy access, two interior patch pockets, an interior D-ring, bottom studs for protection and flat shoulder handles. It comes in two sizes PM (15.7" x 8.6" x 8.3") and GM (17.3" x 9.4" x 8.6") with both sizes large enough for carry A4 documents. They’re available at Louis Vuitton stores and online at louisvuitton.com for US$1360 and US$1520 for PM and GM respectively.
