I have never considered bags made of mink as good investment hence they rarely go up to the list of highly desired bags and often end up on the overly fashioned bags. A multicolor patchwork mink satchel might not have sounded good an idea but I adore the end result of this Miu Miu bag up to the point I had to put it on the HOT bag list. If you ever need to buy a mink bag, I say make it this one. Buy it from Bergdorf Goodman for USD2,990.

The signature hobo bag from the designer duo came with its new incarnation that, in a way reminded me of Gucci Techno bags from the last season. Coincidence? Or the case of being inspired Any way, it is a fabulous bag at even more fabulous price tag for USD465. Buy it from Saks.
And this is the Gucci bag I spoke of:

This reminds me of an old school bag. Mine was a back pack, actually but with two pockets, you can imagine. The bag is made entirely of soft lambskin that Balenciaga is known for. It might not be an IT bag material but it comes from a French house, so almighty that it banned the French Vogue and its venerable Carine Roitfeld from its shows and removed its ads and stopped sending sample over to the fashion bible. Balenciaga got some balls. This bag costs USD2,195.

I like the cute shape of this Gucci bag and despite the fact that the GG canvas is a little too tired for now, in blue, it still evokes enough of the vintage touch to make it a highly coveted item to me. This baby seems available only in Asia. Price in Singapore is SGD1,380.

Smythson has always been known for its first class stationery, leather goods and cabinet work since it was first established in 1887. Some readers have asked me what other leather goods companies are comparable to Hermes in term of its prestige, craftsmanship and heritage. I have to say that although Goyard, Valextra and Loewe are pretty close, Hermes has always been known as the “King” of leather goods. Smythson, on the other hand, is comparable with most of these giants despite the fact that it has been know more for its personalized stationery. The newest addition to its signature Nancy handbag is the large tote in Amber color. I have to say that the price of this tote at GBP795 is such a steal. I will have no doubt that the quality of the material and workmanship is impeccable as with anything that is produced by Smythson. The company made its first handbag in 1902 so it has a history of over a century. Smythson ships worldwide.

Can you imagine how chic this bag is for a casual brunch and shopping over the weekend? It is one of the most exciting bags I have seen from Mulberry in a long time after the almighty Bayswater and Alexa so there is no reason why the Daria does not get a place in the line-up of Mulberry’s most iconic bags. Available online or at your nearest Mulberry stores, the Daria is priced at GBP795.
