Falling in love: Marc Jacobs Mix Quilted Tote at Barneys New York

By Andrea Thatcher on October 29th, 2007

Marc%20Jacobs%20bag.jpg

Brown bags aren’t always the ones that catch our eye, but we have noticed the way they catch the light. Sometimes a brown bag looks more luxe than a blag bag in an online photo because of the way you can see the materials and details more clearly. So imagine how sophisticated the black (or cognac!) versions of this Marc Jacobs Mix Quilted Tote must be in person. At $1,495 the bag features my favorite things – soft leather, quilting, and chain handles. This definitely goes on my fantasy Christmas list.

Botkier Bag Perfection

By Andrea Thatcher on August 29th, 2007

Botkier.jpg

Every season I search and scour to find my idea of the “perfect” bag. Usually, my quest to find the holy grail of handbags concludes unsuccessfully…until now. The Botkier Bryant Hobo is perfection. With its brass hardware and soft lambskin leather, this bag is large enough for day but also chic for cocktails after work. Not to even mention the cute elephant charm and Botkier tusk that accent the strap. Now I just have to decide on grey or black…

Fall accessories are catching our eye – the Sak Dakota hobo

By Andrea Thatcher on August 1st, 2007

dakota%20the%20sak.jpg

Luxe leather hasn’t exactly been synonymous with the Sak in the past, but maybe it will be in the future. The line is definitely increasing it’s leather line, with more fashion-forward designs like this Dakota hobo. Zipper and strap details add interest without going too far, and we really love this rich “luggage” maroon color. At $139 it’s definitely pricier than other Sak options as well, but it’s worth it for the superior style.
