Tiffany and Co. Introduces First Collection of Handbags

Tiffany and Co. has dominated the Jewelry scene for ages (who doesn't have a weakness for that little blue box?), and now the legendary company is taking its shot at fashion. And what better way to the hearts of the stylishly obsessed? Well handbags of course. Tiffany and Co. has launched its first line of handbags, and by the look of the collection, the company is off to a fashionable start.

The collection contain 44 pieces, and was designed by Lamberston Truex. The bags will stay true to the legacy of the empire, as every bag is lined with blue satin or leather, similar to those blue boxes we all love.

The price range for these bags ranges from affordable to luxurious, with numbers ranging from $395-$16,000.

The Hollywood Elite can't seem to wait to get their wealthy hands on these bags, as Jennifer Anniston was recently spotted with a trendy sued bag from the company.

While I have given you a quick glimpse of the collection, the entire collection is available for your viewing pleasure at Tiffany.com.

Arm Candy|Penny Patchwork Clutch By Franchi Handbags

*Penny Patchwork Clutch in silver*

I'm totally smitten with the Penny Patchwork Clutches designed by Franchi Handbags.

The super stylish clutches are convertible clutches made out of satin and feature studded accents that truly make this bag so ridiculously chic that I had to post about these bags.

The bags also include a single shoulder chain, and top magnetic closure.

Check out the Penny Patchwork Clutches in different colors below...




Here's the Penny Patchwork clutch in Champagne.



And here is the Penny Patchwork clutch in black.

Fashion Night Fix | Arm Candy | Kathy Van Zeeland Handbags

"Delicious Belt shopper". $89.

As a handbag addict, I can honestly tell you that it is really easy to focus solely on the top designers like Prada, Fendi, Gucci, Chanel, Marc Jacobs,Coach, Dooney and Bourke, etc. that you might overlook even more stylish bags that may be not include hefty price tags.

Although Kathy Van Zeeland bags aren't cheap per se, they are affordable handbags. The best thing about Zeeland's bags has to be how awesomely stylish and carefully crafted they all are.

I own a few bags myself, and I always get compliments on them. These bags were meant to get noticed, and I would suggest all fashionistas have a couple included in their handbag collection. It just fashionably makes sense.

Kathy Van Zeeland isn't afraid to experiment with her bags, and here's a peek at her latest collection...

"Ball Shopper" in Pumpkin. $99.


"Marbella" collection satchel in burgundy. $89.



Large satchel from "Four Eyes" collection in zebra print. $115.

"Double Date" satchel in mustard. $89.

"Four Eyes" flap satchel in metallic bone. $99.

"Mansion" satchel in bottle green. $99.

As you can see, these handbags are pretty fab. Kathy Van Zeeland handbags are the perfect example of when chic meets affordability. To check out more of these fabulous handbags, visit the Kathy Van Zeeland site.

Arm Candy | Marc Jacobs Handbags | Spring 2009 Collection

The very talented and innovative fashion designer Marc Jacobs usually doesn't disappoint when it comes to delivering the most stylish (and expensive) handbags. And if you are obsessed with handbags like I am, you would have to have a glimpse of what to expect from him in the spring. Here's a peek at the handbags from Marc Jacobs' Spring 2009 collection. Drool away.

Coin boxed purses will be a pretty big deal in the spring. They are great handbags for evening wear.

Mixed Media Bag from Marc Jacobs Spring 2009 collection. Interesting.

Mixed Media clutch handbag. Also interesting.

Yellow will be a major color in the spring, although it has already made a comeback in the fall.

A hot version of Marc Jacobs signature chain handbags. I really love this bag. Fab.

Sexy and chic tote from Marc Jacobs Spring 2009 collection.

We already know print dresses, skirts, tops, are one of the major trends right now, but print handbags will be pretty major in the spring, including animal prints.

So there is your glimpse of Marc Jacobs handbags from his highly anticipated Spring 2009 collection. I don't know a whole lot of people that will drop thousands on any of these bags considering the state of our economy, but everyone needs a little arm candy every now and then.

Arm Candy | Louis Vuitton Summit Drive Handbag

I have been obsessing over this bag shamelessly for quite some time now. This Louis Vuitton Summit Drive handbag has to be one of the most poshest bowling bags I have ever laid eyes on. It is stylish for a number of reasons:

First, the color of course. This shade of red will get you noticed. This color isn't for the fashion meek, this is a color you have to have the confidence to wear. Oh yes, you have to OWN this shade of red.

And if you don't love how the bold red patent leather is gorgeously embossed with Louis Vuitton's signature LV logo, maybe you will appreciate its adjustable buckles, or the large pockets on the front and back, or the double zip top that reveals its luxurious lining with a patch pocket adding to its tremendous functionality.

Priced for $1680.00, the Louis Vuitton Summit Drive Handbag is one of my favorite pieces of arm candy. Sure, right now I wouldn't drop that much cash on this bag, but it sure is sweet.

Arm Candy | Katherine Kwei Metallic Snake Donna Clutch

I absolutely love handbags, and I am always looking for the next big thing from fashion designers who have a history of designing very classy and magnificent handbags. But I am weak for any bag that lacks traditional appeal. I think every woman needs a break from those uncreative monogram stamped handbags that we see from all the more well known fashion designers. After purchasing a few, one begins to feel like they are just carrying a name rather than a stylish testament to the creativity of fashion. So when I see a bag like this, I have to take notice.

Katherine Kwei is not a household name designer. We don't often hear about her bags in television or movies, but maybe that ought to change. After all, it is not like celebs haven't worn any of her glamorous bags on the red carpet. Even J-Lo has a bag.

But I love the anatomy of this bag. Yes it is a clutch, but pay attention to its design. It is made up of silver metallic snake material and was fabulously woven using a traditional Chinese knotting technique. It is pretty roomy for a clutch as well, making it just as practical as it is stylish. Check out its interior...


Fab. This bag is the most expensive out of her other bags, and is priced at $1010.00 at Luxcouture. You can check out the rest of Katherine Kwei's handbags here.

Arm Candy | Dooney and Bourke Handbags| Hayden Panettiere Dooney and Bourke Clutch

Hayden Panettiere has recently collaborated with Dooney and Bourke to design her own handbags. Now we have seen Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton as the faces behind some earlier handbags, but they were not nearly as stylish and fabulous as the Hayden Panettiere Dooney and Bourke Clutch handbags. In fact, they weren't anything chic or edgy. Hayden's bags, especially this clutch bag, are so fab I had to blog about them. I love these clutches! They do not resemble any of the earlier Dooney and Bourke handbags, and that probably can be credited to the fact that D&B's Italian Design Team designed this bag. It has an elegant 24K carat gold-plated lion's head that just makes this bag absolutely flawless. Here is a look at the Hayden clutch bag in the other colors:

*All photos courtesy of Dooney and Bourke*

Fabulous! I am eyeing that pink (fuschia) one extra hard. I am loving the bag's gold leather piping too! This bag is true arm candy indeed. This is one of the most stylish bags I have ever seen from Dooney and Bourke.

The bag is $295.00 and you can find it here.
