The sleek hot pink clutch by Michael Kors is eye-catching to say the least. For once, we know for sure that hot pink never did go out of fashion. Again, the idea of a clutch purse makes this designer item welcome to classy social gatherings too and not just be confined to teengae boppers road shows.
Michael Kors had created this stunning accessory in patent leathr and has used contemporary silver hardware to decorate. The top of the purse is framed and opens on a hinge. We also liked the idea of the tiny logo embossed on the top closure unlike the in-your-face strategy adopted by most other high-end designer brands.

If you have noticed, we have always been a little partial towards neutral glam. And that is precisely why we are proud to bring the Lamé Shoulder Bag to you. Available in the market under the brandname Chloé, this one is a delight to look at and even more if owned. The dull golden colors impress with their simple elegance.
The design complements the low bling factor of the purse which really is a strong point, if you ask us. The fold over pattern is pleasing to the eyes and also very convenient for the user. There is a rather delicate gold-tone double chain shoulder strap too while a smart turnlock enclosure with the embossed logo sits on the front flap.

It has been some time since fashion label Burberry caught attention with any of its creation. But all that is about to change with the Summer Straw Tote that its desgining department has come up with. Afterall, when it comes to creating fashionable handbags, Burberry always does a great job.
The Summer Straw Tote that we are referring to is trendy and versatile enough to be sported throughout the year, so do not be misled by the name. We like the sheer simplicity that the bag exudes, even the trademark Burberry check pattern is only faintly visible on the buff-tones raffia.

Now, this might not go in too well with animal lovers but the market is abuzz with ‘oooohs’ and ‘aahs’ of the fashionable women. Well, they have been totally smitten by the Golden Python Fringe Bag designed by Asha under the brand ADM. Can’t blame them because the design is very stylish and elegant. The original python print is intact with slight accentuations by thin strips of the same leather at several places. A beautiful Moroccan-inspired quatrefoil clasp set with moonstone cabochons and a pyramid moonstone complements the exotica of the whole pattern.
The metallic color of the clasp lends it a strong attraction. Also, there is a French piping and small inner pocket to store your small nick-knacks. And we have no doubt that the purse will go very well will all your party dresses.

The hard times have struck all businesses, be it the regular ones or those in the ultra-luxe category. But yes, there are a couple of names like Gucci, Cartier and Armani that have opened new stores in different regions all over the world. But Hermes is not one of them. Empire expansion is not on the brand’s priority list. The company rep was heard saying that the financial turbulence will last another year or two. Watches and jewelry are not so popular but looks like certain exotic-skin Hermes bags is running waiting lists for several years.
Now to meet with the growing demands of the fashion world, Hermes has started breeding its own crocodiles on farms in Australia. Ouch! Now, this might hurt the animal lover within but we are told that some three to four crocodiles make one Hermes bag.

The Brahmin Les Roses Vittora is a rather interesting name being a combination of Hindi and French that too all in the name of a handbag. No wonder, the design too is something that compliments its unique name. Measuring just 8″ x 9.25″ x 4″, this one is small and sassy. The 24″ strap has the option of being removed to suit your fashion statement of the moment. In other words, you can both fling it over your shoulder or just carry it like a free-standing case. If you do the former, the roses dangling at your hip looks ultra gorgeous.
The bag comes with a center divider pocket and a back slide pocket with plenty of zips inside to keep your stuff neat and organized. All the hardware is in gold tone to complement the crocodile embossing. A very bold style, it comes in Black, Truffle and Pecan.
