Urban Junket’s New Shape-Shifting Tote | Convertible Eco-Friendly Cotton Canvas Bag

CATEGORY: Handbags

I’ve seen many convertible handbags in my time, but few with the shape-shifting properties of this new convertible tote from Urban Junket.

Strategically placed snap clasps allow you to easily change the purse from a simple tote to a structured doctor’s bag or jaunty boat shaped tote. With three distinct silhouettes, this is really like getting three bags for the price of one.

The tote will also please eco-warriors, as it’s as green as it is versatile. The exterior is made from polished cotton canvas which is colored with organic vegetable dyes. The color choices – indigo blue, grass green, and chocolate brown – aren’t very revolutionary but they are resistant to trends.

The interior is lined with an eco-friendly material cleverly crafted from recycled plastic bottles. Considering the different ways we can style the bag, it’s surprising to find so many features inside. There are pockets for sorting keys, pens, and other small items, so you should never find your cargo out of order. There’s also another pocket outside for business cards. The rolled handles are long enough for over-the-shoulder carrying, but if you’d prefer to go cross-body you can just add the longer strap.

Considering its versatility, this Urban Junket tote is a bit of a bargain at $90. You’ll find it in selected retailers in North America, Japan, and Mexico, and online at Uncommon Goods.

Recycled Bandanas Become Purses | Anamu Makes South Western Clutches

CATEGORY: Handbags

Wearing scarves and bandanas has become a bit passé, but that doesn’t mean you need to phase the colorful squares of fabric out of your wardrobe altogether. Fashion brand Anamu is giving these accessories a new lease on life by turning them into fun clutches and cuffs.

Designer Ana Maria Munoz was clearly influenced by the American South West when creating her new Go Native line. The collection features boldly patterned purses and cuffs with names like Hopi, Navajo, and Anasazi. With the taste for ethnic and tribal prints still hanging around, these recycled handbags are right on trend.

The purses are made from vintage cotton bandanas and lined with linen. They’re fairly simple, but with vibrant prints like this you don’t need a lot of design flair. Each one closes with a magnetic snap and has a patch pocket for carrying your ID and change.

You can pick up one of these new Anamu clutches for $80 or the cuffs for just $18 at the Anamu online store.

Giuseppe Zanotti Multi-Crystal Clutch | Multicolored Jewel Black Suede Flap Purse

CATEGORY: Handbags

We’re just leaving summer, but fashion is already looking ahead to colder weather. Nothing says winter like suede, and when it’s dressed up like this it’s downright irresistible.

The glammed up style comes from a shower of sparkling colored crystals. I love the way these tiny jewels pop against the soft black suede. That suede is lovely with its soft pleats, but it’s the rainbow of gems that’s the real star.

The clutch is a little larger than the average, and better appointed than most too. I really like the long zippered pocket, which is much better at keeping things organized than the tiny slips we typically see. My only gripe is the lack of shoulder strap. While these are never expected on a clutch, one would make this sizeable purse easier to manage when full.

I can imagine this clutch being a gorgeous accompaniment to a classic black dress or a daring multicolored evening gown. But I hope you have those items in your wardrobe already. With a price of $1025, this clutch may well exhaust your evening budget!

More Features of This Giuseppe Zanotti Jewel Suede Clutch

  • Magnetic snap closure
  • Logo print lining
  • Measures 7.5 x 12.5 x 3.5 inches
  • Made in Italy
  • Comes with a dust bag

Bottega Veneta’s Early Brick Bag Release | Fashion House Launches Handbag on Fashion’s Night Out

CATEGORY: Handbags

Are we all getting excited about Fashion’s Night Out? As September 10 inches ever closer we’re learning more about what our favorite handbag designers have in store. As part of the celebrations, Bottega Veneta will offer a special pre-launch release of its new Brick bag.

The Brick has a striking three-dimensional silhouette made from nero cervo leather. Bottega Veneta’s intreccio ad inserto technique adds subtle interest to the luxe leather. The generously sized top zip bag can handle all of your essentials during the day, or fold in on itself when you want a sleeker evening purse.

A total of 100 Brick bags will be sold in ten fashion capitals around the world, and a portion of their proceeds will benefit an unnamed charity. Unfortunately it hasn’t been announced exactly which stores will stock the bags, so if you’re keen on them you might need to turn up at your favorite boutique early and cross your fingers!

Giorgio Armani Pleated Handbag | Striking Medium Leather Ruched Sack Purse

CATEGORY: Handbags

All over textures can look overwhelming, but Giorgio Armani has got the balance just right with this Pleated Handbag.

The soft Nappa leather is carefully crafted into tiny, tight pleats. It might remind me a little of the sports skirts I used to wear in high school, but I think the effect looks much more chic here. I’m not so convinced by the handles though. In and of themselves these rope-like straps are lovely, but they make the pleated material bunch up awkwardly. Such smooth, chic pleats surely deserve a clean closure to match.

It’s not a very big bag, which might explain the lack of organizational features. I’m thankful for the small pocket which can take care of change, but find myself longing for more pouches to keep my keys and personal technology in order. It’s also a shame that there’s no interior lining, especially at this price point.

The range of colors is lovely, if not altogether groundbreaking. The subtle hues include ivory, dove gray, black, and this sexy military green. These shades might make it easy to incorporate this purse into any wardrobe, but its hefty $1600 price tag does not.

  • A logo pendant
  • Dual 20.7 inch straps
