As one of my favourite fashion brands, there’re got to have reasons existing. Both stylish and luxury, bags from this young California brand boast the sophisticated designs and exquisite detailing. With rich colors and trendy decorations, they can be your best choices to make you stand out.

And with the time approaching, more and more chubby bags made by warm materials have been released in recent days. As you know, the ultra-cool quilting is one typical character of Treesje bags, so you can miss this Treesje Bare Revealed Satchel to warm up as well as dress up your fall and winter.

Established by Castiglioni family in 1994, Marni has been becoming more and more successful and strengthened with the time. Now as one of the biggest watching focuses in Milan Fashion show and Italian major fashion brand for women, the responsibility for the designer is quite heavy. But it seems easy for Consuelo Castiglioni seems to face it.

Her talent, is not only expressed on applying the color, clipping and material, but also keeping searching with the help of her innovative design. However, unless you are the die-hard pursuer of Consuelo, otherwise some of Marni’s weired designs would puzzle you a lot.

Take this Marni Goat Hair Leather Bag for example, well, to be honest, at first glance, I was really freaking out. what’s the holy crap, a human’s head full of hair? Oh my God!!! It reminds me of the horror film, from which we can often see such kind of scary head. Will it someday speak to me? Oh, forget it~ After I calmed down, I began to think about another question: if so, is it necessary to wash it with qualified brand shampoo or it will smell when getting dirty or sweating? That’s really a question. Anyhow, even I have money to burn I still won’t buy this so vivid “hair” bag. If you happen to the hair fetichism, the information below is for your reference…

Measurement: 28″ in width, 16″ in height, 3″ in depth.

Besides the various floral patterns designed by Valentino, the different kinds of bows out of Chloe are my favorites as well. I’m quite into the fashionable items from this fabulous fashion brand, not only for its trendy designing concept but also due to its showy color collocation. Bows can be regarded as its significant marks which are so easy to attract women’s eyes especially for those girly women who always dream of becoming the princess in the fairy tale.

This Marti Suede Clutch by Chloe does quite agree with me. It features a fuchsia leather clutch but at the same time mixed with merlot suede, which is a smart try and an innovative move. I like the sweet shadow created by the gradual change of pink color. The twisted leather detailing shaped into two bows on both sides on top, of which the edges are dramatically braided by iconic zippers, this clutch displays a complicated flavour combined with femininity and boldness.

You can just grab this clutch in hand or with a detachable shoulder strap which can be folded inside to carry as a shoulder bag. With a magnetic-fastening front, there is a zipped pocket inside and the interior is fully lined in black canvas. Measured 24″ x 6″ x3″, you can add a brush of pop to your wardrobe as long as spending $295.

It seems that some trendy elements are not just temporary, instead, they often stay sophisticated. The fringe element is a good example. Personally speaking, I have been looking for an ideal fringe bag for a long time especially after some of my friends have found the perfect fringe bags to decorate their wardrobes.

Well, thank goodness, the release of this Jimmy Choo Adele Fringe Leather Bag has cheered me up a lot. And for those bohemian style pursuers, this one is supposed to be recommended strongly, which symbolizes the triumphant comeback of the fringed bags.

Made by brown and grainy leather, this chic Jimmy Choo fringed bag is a perfect combination of various wonderful fashionable elements, for example, the exotic and luxury python leather, the larger sized stylish buckles attached on the front as well as the mentioned casual fringe. What’s more edge, there is a snakeskin panel flap over top to strengthen the unusual silhouette.

Decorated with silver tone hardware outside, the interior is lined in find suede which also has a zipped pocket inside. Measured 10″ / 26cm X 3″ / 8cm X 10″ / 26cm, a patch pocket at back helps to extend the space to hold more essentials.

People often hold the concept that the designer bags are always connected with luxury leather materials and dazzling ornaments. But that may not always be the case. Actually, the top fashion brands are more selling their inspirations often, which can take the most advantage of the limited resources to make the trendy stuff. And that’s why anything even the small item made by ordinary material is sold at high price just because it’s tagged with famous brand.

However, we should admit some fashion brands indeed have the ability to create the chic beauty just using ordinary material. Marc by Marc Jacobs is a good example. Take a peep at this Franny Animal Print PVC Tote from Marc by Marc Jacobs, there is no luxury thing on this tote. Neither real leather nor real animal print, it’s crafted by cream and black PVC material with a stamped calf-hair effect. Well, there is a designer-stamped plaque at the front to let us know its identity. With gold tone hardware, this tote uses a top magnetic fastening to keep it open and close. The interior, which is fully lined in signature monochrome twill to echo each other inside and outside, has two pouches and one zipped pocket to hold stuff. You can carry it with double handles or on your shoulder with a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap. $330.

Bottega Veneta is always the ideal fashion brand for women to make themselves stand out with junoesque charm. Regarded as Italian Hermes, Bottega Veneta has really lived to this reputation.

Although all the leather products from this brand are beyond most people’s means, there are reasons for it. Yes, BV seems to dislike too much gaudy decoration on its products, the hand-made process is very complicated especially on the weaving leather, which is so time-consuming to finish.

So the high quality goods deserve high prices. Look at this Bottega Veneta Nero Intrecciato Nappa Wool Bag which is tagged with unbelievable high price of $3,980, I could not help expecting the fall and winter to come soon at first glance. What a warm shelter this fashionable BV tote offers for your necessary to protect them from the cold weather.

Featuring a classic black tote made by the double-sided intrecciato nappa, the metal silhouette has made this tote into sculptural form. With adjustable leather straps which is fastened by small buckles near to the top, you can make the proper length to comfort the carrying. What’s more considerate, the interior is lined with thick wool, which is so functional and chic. Besides, a small wool pouch also goes with it, which you can put the coins or some small things in.

As one of the most wanted fashion brands, Rebecca Mincoff indeed deserves this reputation. Just turn on the TV, you can find its figure at any corner in the fashion world. From the vogue magazines to American TV series, many female celebrities have spotted carrying Rebecca bags.

Among all those die-hard fans of Rebecca Mincoff, I’m also a member of them. Although this cool fashion brand has released bunches of bags, I just can not find any reason to dislike any one of them, because each one is really awesome and alluring.

Take this Rebecca Mincoff Python Passion Microfiber Clutch for example, have you ever imagined some one could make this over used element so amazingly gorgeous? At least I did not expect it. As you know, the python leather has been used by many designers to create exotic style. But this one by Rebecca Mincoff, you can smell sort of modern cool flavour from the exotic material.

Since it’s made by python leather, the designer has designed this clutch into the python-embossed pattern on the surface as well as covered by the glazed gloss. With a spring-lock flap at the zip front pocket, it’s decorated with gunmetal tone hard ware. The solid trim and metal feet are also attached to offer more security. Besides, classic tassel zip pulls are applied to emphasize the identity. There are many compartments interior to make you easy to class the essentials separately. You can carry it with a detachable chain strap on your shoulder as well. $295, very reasonable…

LANCEL Plume series of early autumn collection in 2010 has continued the consistent Art Deco style of the brand, which is combined with French romantic sentiment as well as the urban pragmatism.

Just as free and casual as an elf flying through the city ruckuses, travelling in the boundless world between the heaven and the earth, its romance and innocence, yet childish mischievousness, are not expected to be praised by anyone.
