I didn’t think Coach also does summer handbags like this. It’s the Straw Natalie Shopper Bag Tote and if you look closely, this handbag has snakeskin, as well, and serves as a nice accent to it. The handbag does look a bit sophisticated and may even be carried even or use for fall or winter wear, and not just for the beach.
I love that it’s so spacious inside:
Liven up your wardrobe with this handbag, which is selling for $239 at Amazon.

I have a new bag to dream about!
The Ethel Satchel, released by Chloe early in the year, is designed as a super slouchy bag with a really large interior. It’s perfect for someone like me, who’d like to stuff everything inside my purse.
The handbag is made of smooth and soft goat and lambskin leather, whose combination assures of a sturdy and durable fit. I love its very obvious geometric hardware as the accent. It’s actually the one other thing that makes this handbag so interesting. I also like the contrasting leather on the top handle.
The collection comes in different color choices, which I think are all gorgeous:
This handbag is perfect as a weekender bag but you can also carry this to work and have all your essentials in it. At $1,295 a pop, I think this is a good investment. A bag like this is something I could use for years.
This purse is both elegant and useful.

I’ve just seen photos of Gucci’s fall and winter line for their handbag collection and the most dominant feature for this is its bamboo top handle. Many of their bag designs for this set come with it but the one style that really stood out to me is the evening clutchbag.
The piece’s size is so cute, as it is only about 15 cm wide. But it is, well…extravagantly elegant, to say the least. The design is exquisite.
The black version is made of snakeskin leather. Gorgeous! Featured with a leather bow and gold hardware accent to complement the bamboo top handle, this looks really sophisticated and classy.
Another style comes in gold diamante fabric, which I think is trendier than the black one. The latter is more fitting to those with classic taste.
Whichever evening bag you choose, I think it’s safe to say that you’re going out with style with this perfect clutchbag. The chain straps are detachable, so you can carry this a different way.
Though it’s an evening bag, I think it would work to wear it during day time as well, provided it’s matched with the right pieces in the wardrobe. I can definitely see this on someone wearing dressy shorts and a blazer.
Which one do you like better?

For a while now, I’ve seen lots of women carrying Louis Vuitton’s Neverfull with them because it’s basically the kind of bag you can put anything inside. With it’s very wide interior, the bag is literally never full and I think this Phantom tote from Celine is going to beat that.
How gorgeous are these bags, huh?
The design has been intentionally over extended, with its flaps on the side. It looks like a batwing, which is actually quite trendy, as you see this in a lot of tops and blouses for women.
The bag is accented with a tassel….lots and lots of tassel and while the shape does seem wacky, the bag can still look traditionally like a luggage shopper, which is quite sophisticated.
The bags are either made of suede/leather or croc leather. I can’t help but gush over its sheer gorgeousness.
What about you?
You can get this from Celine when it comes out for Fall 2011.
