D&G Stud Logo Tote

Alexander Wang has not answered my call on making a manbag out of his Rocco but Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana seem to try to compensate it by creating a beautiful full leather tote which looks like a normal tote until you see the bottom of the bag and voila!! What studs are those and this might just be the best way to display a logo on a bag without compromising elegance and subtlety! Now just to add a scope of vanila ice cream to a warm lava cake, the price is USD595, which is insanely irresistible for a full leather, made in Italy D&G tote. Now there are two problems only – I am not looking for another black tote as I have already owned a few totes and black bag so it is not for me but hey! This one is surely a catch. Pre-order from Neiman Marcus for shipment by July.

D&G Giraffe-Print Beach Tote

Oh…. I could really use a beach holiday now. Not that I am bored or tired with work, in fact I am on fire, but if there were somehow a beach holiday waiting, say in March or April, it would have been perfect. Anyway, for you who are planning one, this tote is such a beauty. The giraffe print is not overwhelming, very D&G, and unlike typical cheap-looking beach bags, this one is looking luxurious and perfect for a beach getaway. Imagine toting this baby in Nice or St. Tropez or Maldives! That would make it a killer. At USD540, it is such a good deal for a beautiful cruise bag. Get it at Saks.

D&G Crystal Covered Satin Vlada Bag

The latest campaign shot of D&G for Fall / Winter 2009 is among my favourites so far this year and the  Vlada bag, especially the one covered with red crystals, stole my attention. It has been a while since the last time I liked a bag from D&G for its originality and also for its big size (24cm x 40cm). If you pay attention, D&G collection has lately progressed to become a more whimsical and grown-up one, hinting that the D&G audience has also matured and expects more than just tees with a big D&G logo yet is still youthful which diffentiate the brand from Dolce and Gabbana. Pre-order the D&G Vlada bag from Luisaviaroma now for shipment by October 2009. The Vlada bags start from Euro491.67 for full leather version to Euro791.67 for the crystal covered version.
