Mulberry Alexa Satchel Oversize

The Alexa satchel is a vintage-inspired bag design. I am digging the bag as a messenger and the size is pretty big too at 42cmx32cmx22cm. The bag is made in the UK, fully in Buffalo leather and knowing Mulberry, the bag is worth the price tag of EUR833.33 inclusive of shipping to most countries in the world. My only reservation is the closure mechanism which is perfect as a messenger but too much hassle when toted. Love the blue and gold color combo on this bag! Available for pre-order now for delivery after 31st March 2010.

Givenchy Pepe Sac in Red

Made of wrinkled lambskin, the Givenchy Pepe Sac in this hot red should be your staple for the Spring / Summer 2010. The bag is understated and striking at the same time. Givenchy is the master in achieving this effect of a bag on the crowd – just like a Santa passing by, everyone else will have to stare. This hot baby is available in Barneys for USD1,300.

Sneak Peak – Prada Spring 2010

Miuccia Prada is my most anticipated designer every season because anything she comes up with will somehow become one of the hottest trends for the season. For Spring 2010, Prada is all about its basic clean and easy-to-like look. Many will agree that there are many wearable pieces in the show which would directly sell at Prada stores. I love the bags (even the transparent plastic ones, which I normally will not) and the beautiful printed nylon coats. I am just not sure about the shoes.

Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 Sneak Peak

The highlight for the Spring 2010 at least for the Parisian designers will be about obsession with youth. Representing the young generation, I will have to say we are open to new innovations and unconventional ideas but I do hope the designers do know that some of us have taste too. Here are some sneak peaks from Vuitton Spring 2010 runway.

and What the hell was Marc thinking?

Messenger with a big fury thingy, shoes with mustache and the scariest of them all

Bottega Veneta Men Spring 2010 Preview

Tomas Maier made sure that the Bottega Veneta men Spring 2010 collection is nothing short of covetable bags. Seriously, i could take all the bags on the runway anytime, if only i were one of those people who do not need to work to live, eat, travel and shop. I am digging the hairdos on the models too and the tie-dye shirt with the matching brown pull-over too. See the military green jacket there? Maier might have just outdone his past self with this collection.

Gucci Men Spring 2010 Preview

White colors are everywhere in Gucci Men Spring 2010 runway and i am thrilled as it is my favorite color to wear. Then again, Frida Giannini is not one who is afraid of colors, not even dark shades for Spring / Summer collection and so we began seeing grey, turning dark blue and black by the 25th look. I am also happy to see that the man bag collection for the next season is generally more usable compared to the Fall 2009 collection. The Gucci signature GG fabric is nowhere to be seen on the runway. Instead, Frida opted for white canvas with leather trims for her bags (grey, black, blue and yellow colors). I am loving the blue leather duffel which is somewhat similar to Louis Vuitton SC bag, the croc hobo bag in grey and of course the classic white horsebit loafers which i might just end up treating myself to a pair next year.
