Glam Couture

couture-glam-girl.jpgThis here is the Juicy Couture ‘Glam Girl’ Jacquard Tote, a lovely bag with magnetic closure and leather trim.

The ‘Glam Girl’ is very glam, as you can see – all pink and girly and fabulous in the best Juicy Couture tradition.

It’s gorgeously roomy too – perfect for lugging around the usual summer stock of magazine, water bottle, make up etc etc.

Go get your glam on!

Hook’s Revenge!

ruched-crocoldile-satchel.jpgYou know who would really love this purse?

…Captain Hook.

No seriously, he would.

The purse, called the Ruched Crocodile Satchel by Nancy Gonzalez, is made of – you guessed it! – lovely shiny green crocodile leather.

It’s a bag that would make old Hook grin from ear to evil ear, with its gold hardware and double-zip top.

Evil pirates aside, this is a gorgeously luxurious purse, exceptionally crafted and guaranteed to last a lifetime!

Sweet Sweet Dior

dior-polochon.jpgThis sticky-looking purse is the Dior Cannage Vinyl Medium Polochon, a lovely, sturdy little leather bag with vinyl coating and silver hardware.

The reason this purse was described as sticky-looking is because it has an uncanny resemblance to a large chunk of delicious toffee.

And if sweet toffee doesn’t do it for you, it’s also available in black for a saucier s&m look!

Everyone’s a winner!

It’s Love, Louis

vuitton-thats-love-tote.jpgIf you’re wondering where you’ve seen this tote before, it’s currently hanging off the rather voluptuous body of one Scarlett Johannson in a series ofĂ‚ Louis Vuitton advertisements.

Called the It’s Love Canvas Tote, this is exactly what it says it is – a canvas tote.

A collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs (who pointed out that you can’t spell the word ‘love’ without ‘LV’), this bag is made of cotton and linen canvas.

The crowning glory is of course the gold and silver stitching, which apparently took over twenty hours to complete, entirely by hand.

My my my! Luxury indeed!

Juicy Daisy

juicy-daisy.jpgIt’s got to be said – when Juicy Couture stick to making cute, fluffy funky purses instead of the more serious-wannabe-upmarket ones, there are few designers that can challenge them for pure fun.

A great example is the purse pictured – the Juicy Couture Daisy Handbag, a lovely terrycloth purse with leather trim and polished silver hardware.

It’s an open-top bag so this might not be the best kind of purse to take to a theme park – otherwise it’s as packed full of Juicy delights as you would expect!

Toki-Bocce

tokidoki-bocce.jpgIt’s high time we featured another purse from LeSportsac – this time in honour of their adorable new Spiaggia print.

The purse pictured is the Tokidoki Bocce, a lovely little bag that comes with the Tokidoki qee.

The Spiagga print on the purse is just mind-bendingly cute (hey, it’s Tokidoki, what else is new, right?) with lots of cute surfey fishies and hawaiian damsels.

Words really are useless in this instance. Just look at that thing!

So cute and funky we just can’t take it!

Lamb’s Rams

derek-lam-violet-satchel.jpgThere is something about Derek Lam purses that keep you coming back for more – no matter how accustomed you are to the design and execution of these purses, every time you lay hands on the leather of a Derek Lam purse it’s enough to cause a shiver of delight at the softness of it.

The purse pictured is called the the Violet Satchel – a unique little grained leather purse made with two compartments and brass hardware.

The look of the purse is very old-fashioned, from the mature colour of the bag to the customary Derek Lam engraved ram’s heads on the front.

Definitely a special purse for a special person!

Father Prada

prada-deerskin-cam-bag.jpgThe great thing about Father’s Day is that it falls right at the very start of summer, when the weather is heating up and vacation plans are getting into full swing.

What better gift, then, for dear old Dad than this camera bag?

It’s the Prada Deerskin Camera Bag – a very manly brown deerskin bag that has gold hardware, a zip top and adjustable shoulder strap.

Perfect for the safe carriage of cameras, wallets, passports, documents or whatever else needs to be shlepped around.

A man bag, indeed!

Dior For The Dad

dior-homme-card-holder.jpgThis very unassuming little thing is the Dior Homme Classic 3 Card Holder, the latest in ArmCandyGirl’s list of Father’s Day gift ideas.

Made of canvas with a soft leather interior, it’s big enough to fit three different cards in three different card slots.

Although perfect for Father’s Day, there are very few women who wouldn’t be thrilled with such a swanky little card holder!

East, West, Versace is Best

versace-east-west-bag.jpgThis right here is the Quilted Couture East/West Bag, a very decadent (aren’t they always?) purse from Versace.

There’s a lot to say about this purse – the luxury and craftsmanship and all the rest of that jazz, but, just look at it. The quality of the bag hardly needs detailing, but let’s give it a bash anyway.

The Quilted Couture is made of beautiful topstitched leather, with gold hardware, golden leather handles, golden rivets, golden Versace name-plate, golden zipper… are you sensing a pattern here?

It is a very golden purse, and a very gorgeous purse. Ancient Rome had nothing on this!
