In a fashion landscape so varied and eccentric that the simultaneous embrace of leopard, lace, military-chic and minimalism doesn’t seem all that far-fetched or contradictory in the least, sometimes we forget the charms of a simple, good thing. You know who doesn’t forget that kind of stuff? Miuccia Prada. The Prada Saffiano Lux Tote is exactly the kind of bag I want to turn to when I’m feeling trend-weary.

This design isn’t new, and we’ve probably covered various iterations of this bag in the past. The more I see it, though, the more I think it deserves mentioning. The straight lines and clean edges are basically perfect in their simplicity, and the stiff, tough saffiano leather will hold its shape for years to come. For me, this tote is perhaps the perfect price-effective alternative to a Birkin, particularly if the buckles and flaps of the Hermes classic prove to be a little much for your usual style. I’ll take one of these in every color, and I bet I’d never get sick of carrying them. Buy through PursesMama for $409.

Rivington is the latest addition to the growing Damier city bags collection. This feminine and versatile bowling bag is elegant and understated, a perfect touch to any everyday wardrobe.

But if bowling-shaped bags are not your cup of tea, here’s another variation: the Cabas Rivington which is a bit similar to the Neverfull. Its a generously sized tote with adjustable capacity thanks to the vertical zips on both sides. Very practical.

Rivington comes in two sizes: PM (12.6″ x 8.6″ x 5.9″) and GM (15.3″ x 9.4″ x 7.1″), while the Cabas measures (16.5″ x 11″ x 7.1″). They are available exclusively at Louis Vuitton stores for US$885, US$1030, & US$1300 for the PM, GM and Cabas respectively. However they are available on www.pursesmama.com for only $200+ USD. Though replicas, they come with exactly the same quality as the original. Woohaa!

Christmas is getting nearer and nearer, while people are busy preparing gifts for this big day, or some might have already had everything ready, I am still confused with what kind of gift I am going to buy. But there is one thing can be sure, small accessories like iPhone case, coin purse and classic bags like Celine Luggage Tote and Trapeze Bag should be considered on gift list. People like sending small yet practical gifts like the above small accessories that I mentioned. When preparing for Christmas gift, we should take practicality and actual value of the gift into consideration. So today I am writing to share these little items with you in order to give some advices to the people who haven’t had any idea yet.

When iPhone has become the most favorite cell phone all around the world, some iPhone accessories also came into being. iPhone case is one of them! If you think that dressing up your iPhone with a cartoon case is kind of childish, this iPhone 4(4S) Crystal case will be an eye-catching one that is individualized and distinctive. With artificial crystal and flower detail attached, the iPhone case is even more glamorous than your phone.

A coin purse is also a perfect gift for Christmas as long as it’s not going to be out of style. These lovely coin purses feature a flower with petals on the front, available in 6 different colors, you can buy a set (6 colors) as one gift or sending them to different people as 6 gifts. Your choice!

If your friends deserve to receive a big gift, take a Celine Luggage then, for it has a smiley face which symbolizes for happiness and joy. The tote is roomy that can hold many daily essentials, it’s a perfect bag for day and night.

Celine Small Trapeze Bag looks a little similar to the luggage tote as both of them come with ears like a bat. The ears on both sides can be placed inside the bag with snap buttons. This bag is hard-sided so it can stand without putting anything inside. With single handle and one detachable shoulder strap, the bag can be both handheld and carried across body.

Hermes always seems to be a brand that is far from reach. Many people would never think of buying one Hermes item because this world luxury brand is extremely pricey. If you feel reluctant to spend thousands of dollar buying a wallet, why not make a thousand more valuable than only a wallet? A thousand is more than enough for a handbag and wallet or even more. For example, the Hermes Kelly Long Wallet that I recommend today is quite incomparable as you will find no other knockoffs are superior to it.

Hermes Kelly Long Wallet is famous for its rectangle design with top grade palladium hardware. The soft leather, exquisite stitches as well as the functional compartment and card slots have proved the exact value of it. If you take a close look at the wallet, you can see each detail has been carefully taken care, which makes it very close to the original one. The wallet is impeccably crafted from authentic Italian Epsom leather, so the features such as feeling and texture can be met.

Recently, I found a handbag that is full of elegance and charming features that I love when I browsed around on Pursesmama! If you follow Pursesmama in these days, you will definitely find out some new arrivals out there. I was surprised to spot this amazing Prada Top Handle on the site. I just can’t take my eyes off it after my first glance. I love black because black brings me a sense of safety. To some extent, it’s a kind of representative of a successful woman, so black also gives us a sense of achievement. In function, it’s not only a handbag catering for your daily need as it’s supposed to be, more importantly, it comes with a detachable shoulder strap that is user-friendly enough when you are carrying with heavy stuff in your bag. I love the flap closure design as it can help your stuff stay safely in your bag, besides, it’s also a decorative part on the bag adding an additional charm to it. Exquisitely crafted from cowhide leather makes it even more durable and worthy.

It seems that Louis Vuitton has put much emphasis on its Lockit. There are many versions of this item, including the classis Monogram Canvas, elegant Suhali leather and exaggerating Fur. Now, Louis Vuitton shows us another Lockit in Patent Monogram Canvas in its Fall/Winter 2012 collection. No great difference to be found, Louis Vuitton Fall Winter 2012 Lockit still comes with all the same essential features, but there is no oxidized cowhide leather again. Instead, it’s crafted from the same material all over the bag including the handles, key holder as well as the padlock, making the color of the bag so matching. With zip-top closure, it makes open and shut a simply step, which is surely your best accompany at work.

Gucci celebrates its 90^th anniversary by launching the ‘1921 Collection’ which includes bags and accessories in retro design, gave the Gucci lovers a refined beauty of classic. Among all the items, there is one that draws my attention and comes with all the gorgeous features I am crazy about! Gucci ‘1921 Collection’ Medium Shoulder Bag is combined with the classic shape from Gucci New Jackie Shoulder Bag and special material that mixed with two colors which are gradually changing between brown and red. Like the classic New Jackie, this Gucci ‘1921 Collection’ Shoulder Bag also comes with the push lock closure, bamboo and tassel details, the shadow of timeless Gucci product is fully embodied! Though there is no great difference on this version, the feeling that this bag presents is clear to be distinguished from the old classic one. The ways it offers for carry are rather considerate, single adjustable strap for shoulder or elbow carry and one detachable shoulder strap for cross-body carry make carrying it a pleasant experience. The interior layout and capacity of the bag is so reasonable and ideal for busy or casual city living. It will be surely a favorite for Gucci fans.

Accessories from Marc Jacobs are always desirable and pleasing to us. In 2011 Fall/Winter collection, Marc Jacobs even shows us the combination of fashion, exaggeration and practicality, surprising us with innovative changes. The collection has been divided into several series. “The Delancey” collection is pleasing women with fashion and durability. “The Crosby” offers various choices for businesswomen and “The Lindy” is famous for its retro design and exquisite craftsmanship, giving a redefinition to the classic items. The interior capacity of this collection is quite spacious and functional. Crafted from supple lambskin, a soft sensation is added to bags, perfecting the rigid outline of the bags. The elegant metal buckle and the chic plated lock are attached on the leather-made shoulder strap on “The Delancey” , which has made this series become the most eye-catching one and highlighted the simple beauty of the modern female.

Louis Vuitton Alam has a regular shape that can stand properly and comes with double rolled handles, which has become a popular bag worldwide representing classic and eternity. However, when added some innovative features, the bag will definitely present a new and chic look differing from the traditional one. The Alam I am writing about today is innovated from the classic and simple one. In Monogram Multicolore Canvas, it looks younger than that of monogram canvas made. Some details like pointed studs and front pocket have perfectly decorated it a lady bag with refreshing elements. Alma is also famous for its wide opening. You will be surprised to find out that you can zip up from one side to another, which is user-friendly enough for large item like laptop or file folder. With the help of the interior pockets, your essentials like cell phone or wallet can be well-organized.

Green is a refreshing color to us, representing reborn. Imagine you are carrying a green bag, wearing a pair of boots, sitting somewhere in the grass, what a beautiful picture! Of course, if carrying this Proenza Schoulder PS11, that will add the picture another lightspot.

The bag functionally comes with a removable shoulder strap that enables you to carry either as a shoulder bag with the strap or clutch without the strap. Entirely crafted from merlot textured leather, the shape of the bag is held so well that it feels and looks somewhat like an artwork. Proenza Schoulder PS11 is by far my favorite for autumn this year as it comes with the color and design I like, which will be by no means let me down.

Talking about Dior, I think the item that appears in our minds at once is Lady Dior Handbag which is said it’s named after the Princess Lady Diana, who received this bag as gift during her visit to Pairs. Diana was so pleased with this lovely bag. Since then, Lady Dior has become the favorite bag of many ladies. The most iconic part on this bag is the quilted leather with the distinctive stitching called “cannage”, together with the dangling ‘D.i.o.r’ letters available in silver and gold, this glorious bag is sumptuous but understated. Reinterpreted in each season, Lady Dior now is available in different variations such as classic lambskin, patent lambskin, exotic python and crocodile leather. Besides, impeccable craftsmanship gives eternity beauty a redefinition. Because of all these incomparable attractions, Lady Dior is favored among many celebrities and has become an essential accessory in all events.

While winter is getting closer and closer, we shall change the stuff in our closet before it officially arrives. The same with last year, handbags or clothes with fur detail will be much appreciated, which is also the most suitable accessory in winter season to keep warm and comfortable. Choosing a bag that is neither too clumsy nor too small for day and night still matters for some people, but when going for Miu Miu, you will definitely find one that you can’t take your eyes off it. Miu Miu Shoulder Bag is pretty much like Gucci at the first glance, however, the squeeze-to-open lock with Miu Miu engraved logo obviously tells who it is. With tiger fur detail, this shoulder bag naturally comes with a wild sensation like a little tiger being held in your arms. It might be a little scary, but it must be comfortable as well. I love the chain strap on this bag because the golden strap does not simply add elegance to the bag, but also makes everything go right on the bag. Miu Miu Shoulder Bag is well-shaped, the overall feeling that it presents is so amazing that you don’t want to take your hands off it!

I believe this must be the most special bag you’ve ever seen. Louis Vuitton Zipped Tote is made out of three different types of material including classic Monogram Canvas, heavy calf leather and smooth goat leather. The mixture of these three materials makes the tote a bit weird, but from another angle, it’s distinctive and creative. In fashion, this might be the best example interpreting what fashion is all about. But for many of us, it’s a bit high-profile and not exactly pleasing our eyes with the combination of three totally different materials in different colors. Double handles are long enough that enables you to carry both on shoulder and elbow. Functionally comes with a roomy space and interior zipped pocket, it’s perfect for iPad or laptop, which makes your busy living more convenient and efficient.

The new collection Boy Chanel bags will definitely touch the deep of our heart. I think you will fall in love with them at the first sight. The charm of these bags is so unique that they can be easily told from the traditional feminine purses, which is both seductive and appealing. Designed to be worn across body,
Boy Chanel is inherited the classic chain strap from the Chanel Classic Flap that we have known, but some slight changes have also been made on these bags as you can see that they stray from the classic quilted leather and turn the shiny turn-to-open lock to the bronze lock. Whether carried on shoulder or across body, Boy Chanel brings us a line which is bold and clean, glamorous and distinctive. Meanwhile, the masculine glamour has been reinterpreted on these bags, which holds close to the original essence of Chanel aesthetic.

Classic will never go out of fashion! Like the gorgeous Hermes Birkin, it will never get out from people’s attention no matter how long it has been released. Some new variations have been adopted so as to make Birkin distinctive to meet people’s need. Whenever there is need, there must be supply, so Pursesmama will not let their customers down because they know exactly what we need. Today, I am surprised to find out the new arrivals out there, the fabulous Hermes Bikin in some more amazing colors, rose, orangered and blue. Besides, many of them are available in two types of hardware, shiny silver and brass gold. Birkin is not simply beautiful, it’s more attractive than we expect. You deserve to have one in your wardrobe, so how can you let it go?
