blog![]() ![]() What to Handbag: Jumpseat Handbags I have to admit, I've never looked at an airline seat and said, "You know, this fabric would make a killer handbag." But former flight attendant Jennifer Langley did, and we're all the more stylish for it. Jumpseat Handbags are made from vintage wool airline seat fabric, lined with military jacket satin and include seat belt straps and buckle connectors. Not only are these bags deliciously retro, but they're made to withstand all kinds of wear and tear. And for all you germophobes out there, it's important to note that the fabric and all the materials are unused. The bags are limited edition, so get yours before they fly off the shelves for good.
What to Handbag: Kooba Rose Gold Gemma Bag For those of you interested in metal science, rose gold is a gold and copper alloy known for it's unique reddish color. For those of you interested in the science of fashion, rose gold is known as a great color for accessories, such as this awesome Gemma Bag from Kooba. Plus, it's big enough to carry all your essentials, and better yet, it's now 50% off. Thus, we may conclude that metallurgists and fashionologists will agree on the following point: rose gold rocks!
What to Handbag: Big Buddha Vegan Sunset Shopper I like a good chicken wing and a nice filet mignon every once and awhile, but just because I'm not a vegan doesn't mean that my accessories don't have to be. This Big Buddha Patent Shopper is great for carnivores, omnivores and herbivores alike. The bold orange color compliments any outfit, and the round gold studs are sure to make you look stylish while you're eating your crispy fried tofu (it's delicious, try it!).
What to Handbag: Gap European Collection Canvas Satchel For those of you with a penchant for Gap creations, but with more of a 'European' aesthetic, look no further. This Canvas Satchel is made by the Khaki masters, but the ones in their European studios. The look is still clean and casual, but with more flair and individuality than their traditional accessories. I love the small slit handle and subtle cream/white stripe. Oh, and it's on sale for $44.99!
What to Handbag: Derek Lam Marisa Chain Handle Bag So I wanted to do a post about purses. I feel that there is a big rival in the almost to your hip bag of yesteryear that your mom used to sling over her shoulder with her slightly Farrah feather do when you were just a tiny tot---or at least that is the lucid image they conjure for me. Anyway in my search for the perfect modern "purse" example I came across the Derek Lam Marisa chain handle bag. It was perfect. A great bronze chain, that killer ram's head kiss clasp, the lady like shape....it was love at first purse sight. That was before I saw that it was marked down to a 1/4 of the price! Now I am $450 poorer but happily awaiting my new found love.
