A new look from Prada nylon collection. I like this bag, just not the price (USD1,160) even after 20% off at Bluefly. Prada nylon bags simply are just too expensive despite its quality which holds for years.

Ok guys, this is the best deal ever and by ever, i mean in a really really loooong time. Tod’s leather computer bag is so handsome and luxurious it kicks my Vuitton Monogram Canvas Sac Bosphore in its back. I have loved this bag since the first time i saw it although i still love the tall version more (not available anywhere else but on Tod’s website catalog only) but i am willing to make do with such a big mark-down at Barneys. The original price of this bag was USD1,850 which was pretty okay for the full leather, elegant, classy look but now at USD739???? If it were to be marked down just as much here in Singapore, i might get tempted.

It seems like in challenging times like this, everyone in Burberry has been working extra hard to come up with many products to lure spending. Like i have said again and again, with the Sterling Pound cheaper now, there has never been a better time to indulge in something from Burberry. For this season, Burberry tweaked its Nova check and make it darker, somewhat more military and i love the collection from its clothes, coats to its bags. Burberry Prorsum line, especially has grown dressier, edgier, sexier and grown-up, reflecting the spirits of its Creative Director, Christopher Bailey. Love this bag for its casual cool appeal and although the signature check is all over, it looks classy and subtle with the darker tones. Available at Neiman Marcus for USD1,495.

Well, well… ain’t this hot or what? It’s been a while since we last saw a hot man bag from Prada and this is definitely it! I have always loved the gradient of brown colors on the deerskin, which is one of Prada’s signature leather and this bag is all about the leather. The shape is simple yet practical, suitable as everyday bag for those who carry a lot daily or for a short trip over the weekend. This beauty is available in Bergdorf for USD1,950. It is tempting.

Gentlemen, there is one more reason for you to ditch that colorful backpack of yours this year (you do know that it jacks up your geek factor by a million folds and you are asking not to be taken seriously in all ways possible?) thanks to Stuart Vevers at Loewe. Loewe to Spain is Hermes to France or Valextra to Italy and its pre-fall/winter 2009 collection for men sent me to the state of hyperventilation in the count of nano seconds. I have been thinking about getting myself a bigger Amazona for the longest time but there are even more choices now. Look at that Calle 39. Victoria Beckham could not resist it and now it is available for men too!

Men’s bags commonly come in a messenger, briefcase or tote shape so this satchel from Coach is something different and i am loving it. Let me start wit the material. The leather of the bag is rugged and rough, the way a man’s bag should be. I also like that the bag is slouchy without structure, making it look effortlessly cool somehow. On top of those, the size is neither too big nor too small making it handy without looking like a woman’s purse. Now, the best part of all is this baby can be both worn on a shoulder like a handbag (which is rare for man bags) and across the body like a messenger.
This bag is one of the many Coach leathergoods i love and will surely grow to love even more if i own it. If you should know, the best thing about Coach is not the CC fabric or canvas. It is all in the leather goods that age gracefully and stand the test of trendiness. Unlike the popular CC fabric bags, ithis model might not be made available at most Coach stores. Enquire from your nearest Coach stores or get it from Coach.com for USD598.
