Dior, Just Cavalli, Fendi Shoulder Bags

Written by H on .

 

While the words ’shoulder’ and ‘bag’ together conjure up images of mid 1980s soccer moms scampering to games with big hair and even bigger glasses, I was refreshingly delighted by these super Fall 07 — post 1980s — chic shoulder bags.

I dig Dior, as usual – the man of my dreams, creating a subtle metallic, quilted, GOLD lambskin bag. With comfy flat shoulder straps and eye-catching grommets, this bag is a sure hit.

Mirror, mirror on the wall — who’s the goldest of them all? Fendi’s sharp styling — read, inverted pleats and contrast stitching — highlight this bag’s classic shape.

More tote than shoulder bag, more snake than lamb – this Just Cavalli creation is metallic through and through, complete with bronze colouring and gold hardware. Topped off with a luxurious lining, you’ll be prepared for whatever the — lipstick — jungle throws at you.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Roxbury Drive in Pomme D'Amour

Written by H on .

 

While Canada Day happens but once a year, everyday is a celebration of patriotism with this aptly coloured glossed-leather bag from Louis Vuitton.

A woman of versatility, the optional cowhide shoulder strap is convenient for days when I want to go hands-free; the bright colour works wonders with both black and brown; and the shape of the bag works well for shopping-filled days and soiree-filled nights.

And because French is one of Canada’s two official languages, je t’aime ce pomme rouge sac.

Written by H on .

 

My favourite things always include the colour gold, and most likely black, and always boast some wild options.

Dolce & Gabbana’s cinched tote is all chic with its classic cinched-closure, wool felt, and gold hardware.

With its dainty pintucked detailing, and me in a fabulous pair of sky-high heels, I’m ready for whatever the week throws at me.

Woven Leather Bags by Bottega Veneta, Lauren Merkin, and Michael Kors

I first fell for woven leather because of my personal aesthetic preferences. After doing some research, I realized that beside its eye-catching excellence and dainty detailing, carrying a woven leather bag is a wise decision because of the strong, sturdy, and structured nature of the handbag. Even in the case of a Michael Kors rattan clutch, the flimsy rattan is reinforced by a fabulous — GOLD! — woven leather strap.
