What do you think of the Fendi Roll Bag Tote?

Fendi Roll Bag

The Fendi Roll Bag Tote injects a shot of fun into the sometimes staid and stuffy world of logo bags. I heartily agree!

Hester van Eeghen Launches U.S. Website

Hester van Eeghen Launches U.S. Website

Hester van Eeghen
I hadn't heard of Hester van Eeghen before this but wow, she's instantly become one of my favorite handbag designers. The Dutch brand has spent more than twenty years building a cult following in Europe and although the bags have been available in the U.S. here and there the launch of the new U.S. website, HVEUS.com, is something I'm sure her American followers are more than a little excited about.

Hester van Eaghen designs are colorful, structured, and an interesting blend of new and old styles that I can only think to describe as "contemporary retro." Each bag incorporates five elements into its design in some way: beauty, passion, shape, color, and surprise, and straps are also very important as Hester is often seen riding a bicycle to her studio in Amsterdam so having a bag that can hang from the handlebars (even evening bags!) is essential.

One of my favorites, in the gallery below, is called Monocle and blends happy colors of turquoise, purple, and pink in a softly structured way. It's a limited signature edition and as such comes numbered and signed by Hester van Eeghen herself. $750

Six Hot Clutches For Those Cool Winter Evenings

The Deal: Save up to 25% on Fabulous Clutches at Endless.com

The Lowdown: As summer has given way to fall, so do the laid back boat-and-beach events give way to the more formal occasion (um, office holiday party anyone?). As you well know, in the last few seasons clutches have been firmly established as a standard handbag option for both day AND evening, and are a terrific way to add a little chic personal style to the standard Little Black Dress. This year everything is in the details, clutch-wise, and Endless.com has some great embellished clutches to up your style quotient. And since, like the rest of us in this economy, you’re probably not holding your breath for that holiday bonus, “at a discount” really is the new black.
