I spotted someone with this bag while I was at the airport yesterday. And I realized I’ve never really paid much attention to Louis Vuitton’s Mahina Leather bags.
This is the Stellar GM, which I think is the most convenient handbag to have in the Mahina Leather line. It’s big and it’s roomy and the bag’s shape for me is the one I find most ideal. I do love my handbags rectangular or boxy. And I like that it has a zipper top, which keeps my stuff secure but accessible.
The Mahina leather is a discreet version of the Monogram. It comes with pleats and the bag looks femininely sophisticated. The leather is so soft, with hues of blues and grays. I think it goes really well for a daytime fall wardrobe. But it also works perfectly for summer clothes.
I love that it also comes in multi-strap. So convenient to carry around, and so stylish at that!
You can get this at the Louis Vuitton site.

I’m really becoming more and more impressed with the way Victoria Beckham handles her handbag line. She really does know what she’s doing and has been coming up with impressive pieces that can rival her personal favorite handbag lines the Hermes or Louis Vuitton.
This structed tote bag can give these high end brands a run for the money. The Victoria, by Victoria Beckham, is a simple but very elegant looking handbag that can become an instant classic. The interiors of this handbag is bare or minimalist, but you can see just how roomy it is.
This handbag has been created in collaboration with Katie Hillier. Simple but very dramatic, this comes with a short handle, cream lining, golden hardware with stud base and two internal slit compartments.
It’s so good looking and functional that the handbag has been easily sold out in stores like Net-A-Porter.
Don’t be surprised if Victoria Beckham’s name when it comes to handbags falls in league with the rest of the premiere handbag designers we have in the world. She’s really carving out her niche in fashion with her collections.

I found another piece to go with the fashionable color blocking trend.
This is the Lita Handbag and its hip design is something you cannot ignore. I like the choices of basic colors that come together in this piece. Its craftmanship is intricate and detailed, made of soft suede leather. I also love that the handbag is oversized but lightweight.
This piece is not only stylish and fashionable, it’s also very handy to carry anywhere all the time.
• Dimension – 13″H x 16 1/2″L x 5″W • Material – Suede • Closure – Top Zip & Magnetic Snap • Interior – Back Wall Zip With Two Additional Pockets
This is available at Bakers Shoes.

Louis Vuitton’s Cruise Collection for 2012 was unveiled over the summer and it truly is full of fun and happy colors. Most of these were designed by Julie de Libran, in collaboration with movie director Sophia Coppola, who is a huge fan of the brand. She is in fact, the muse for this.
Just some of this line’s styles feature this discontinued Chantilly structured sling bag, but is given a new look for this collection. It’s colorful and perforated. Actully many of the bags from this collection are that I think it’s the running theme. I’m not exactly liking the little holes, but I think that it does give these handbags a new vibe.
What do you think? Do these designs work for you or are too detailed and bright?

My computer’s spell-check is working perfectly fine. But the title is filled with all those K’s because, in case you didn’t know it and if that’s not obvious enough, the Kardashian sisters have this penchant for spelling most everything that begins with a C (but pronounced with a K) as K.
Anyway, the sisters have recently launched the newest product attached to their names. They have a line of handbags now and it’s exclusively released at Sear’s. The girls have been chosen to endorse the handbags and willingly sealed their names with it because they’re pretty much bagistas themselves and have closets full of designer handbag collections.
However, I doubt if they are truly involved with the design of their Kardashian Kollection, because if they were, something like this would’ve not slipped off their hands.
The first bag to the left is Botkier’s Clyde handbag. The one on the right is the design from the Kardashian Kollection.
These girls tote around Botkiers in Hollywood (aside from their LV’s, their Hermes, and all those other name brands). So, they must be so aware of which designs go with what brand.
But Botkier has claimed, the particular Kardashian handbag in the photo is a direct rip-off of their own design. Botkier even posted a blog about this claim and is mulling over reporting this to the CFDA.
Sears was quick to act on this and removed the actual handbag in contention from their website. It’s no longer up for sale. It’s interesting to see how this will develop. Guess someone’s already trying to solve this matter.
It’s not the first time the Kardashian sisters had their name endorsing a product only to pull out of the deal when something comes up wrong. They’re currently in a legal battle with a credit card company for another endorsement deal that didn’t fully deliver.
