It’s easy (okay, easier - being creative isn’t an easy job!) to be creative when you’ve got the best quality handbag materials in your studio…

I have to say, I love the yellow accessories that are on the market these days - they’re so cheerful!
This particular purse is the “Lux T - Jordana” by Tory Burch:
It’s made from embossed patent leather and accented with metal logo cutouts and vegetable tanned leather.

If you’re in the Toronto, Canada area on October 3rd or 4th you might want to check out handbag designer Jessica Jensen’s sample sale.
Jessica Jensen is the designer of the “Bloom” tote that made me drool earlier in the year :-)
Unfortunately, I’ll be on the other end of the country when this is happening… but […]

I’m trying to decide if it’s totally shallow of me to want this dark plum embossed patent leather tote by Versace strictly on the basis of it matches my nail polish?
Or should I just accept that it’s a pretty purse and stop over-thinking it :-)

Let’s take a few minutes to step away from Fashion Week and travel somewhere else :-)
How about Japan?
I think this generously-sized black & orange “Kimono” bag from Tokyo Made is totally yummy - it’s actually made from kimono fabric, and lined with obi fabric!
Check out the subtle detailling on the black fabric - too pretty […]

Are you looking for your own version of my $3.99 cherry purse?
For my lovely readers in the UK this £2.99 charmer from eBay may be the option!
The auction is on until September 12th, so you’ve still got time to nab it, if you can’t live without your own cherry purse :-)

I just couldn’t resist when I found this in the second-hand shop this morning:
Now, it’s not like I need more purses (heck, how many of us actually need a new purse??) but I saw those sparkly, beaded cherries and couldn’t put it down.
I have no clue who made this purse, and it’s not the sturdiest […]

I recently snagged a pair of sandals for better than 70% off… which got me thinking - why not take advantage of the amazing sales happening at this time of year?
I wouldn’t recommend sinking a lot of money into a really trendy shoe or purse, but why not save some $$$ on classic colors or […]
