Penelope accessorized a beautiful outfit by Wyeth Designs with a coordinating beige Chanel classic flap handbag with gold hardware. Often called the 2.55 purse, sales associates simply refer to this purse as the “classic flap bag”. This purse is the foundation of any handbag collection. It is complete with double chain shoulder strap invented by Coco Chanel to free up use of a woman’s hands and quilted design inspired by jockey’s coats. Also featuring exterior love letter pocket, double flap closure and interior pockets to keep lipstick and compacts secure, it offers everything a lady needs. In the 1980s Karl Lagerfeld put the CC monogram turn clasp into the design. There are few purses that have lasted the test of time such as this one. This classic can be worn for evenings or even daytime paired up with jeans as Miss Cruz has.
The classic flap bag is carried season after season, often coming in limited edition colors. Available in lambskin or caviar leather, the latter is must more wear friendly scratch resistant leather but lambskin is a baby soft to the touch. This fall it is available in black, white, gray, a rich dark chocolate brown, yellow, light green, blush, ruby, clay, and two shades of beige.

Chanel is exclusive. We all know that is a fact. But they are actually quite exclusive on the internet as well. The website is done well, but there are no prices or detailed descriptions. That is why when it comes to Chanel, Vlad and I go to our friend Rhiannon. Rhiannon is a part time writer on the Purse Blog, but most of the time she writes for her own blog, Chanel Amour. When I am longing for the latest Chanel news, she has it. A new bag that really is striking my attention is the Chanel Precious Symbols Handbag. Rhiannon explains all about this bag:30 April 2006

The Louis Vuitton Damier Alma is an alluring shape with the chic Damier print and is accented with smooth ebony leather trim. This bag is the perfect size for work or fun measuring 12″ L x 9″ H x 7″ W. The Alma opens wide with a double zip top closure to show off terracotta canvas lining and a cell-phone and patch pocket.

But if you are looking for no print or pattern and only simply divine leather, give your attention to the Louis Vuitton Epi Leather Alma. Available in myrtille or black/silver this Alma shows off gorgeous textured Epi leather and is accented with smooth leather trim. While the myrtille is gorgeous, the black/silver makes me go ga-ga. There is a full double zipper closure with a padlock which opens to alcantara lining along with a small inside pocket and cell phone pocket. This Alma also measures 12″ L x 9″ H x 7″ W, and looks like the perfect work bag to me.

I have probably told you all that I will stop talking about the Fendi Spy ten times now. I lied. Fendi realized what a huge fashion impact the Spy has been and won’t stop producing these bad boys. I’m not going to blame them; some of the Spy’s are to die for. Right now there are two new ones that I am torn between. Torn as in which one I like more. So I will leave it up to all of you to decide between the two beautiful beauties.

As reported by The Bag Lady, little Miss Sexy sported a new and gorgeous Coach bag at the Kid’s Choice Awards. Jessica Alba showed up at the awards toting the new Coach Daphne Straw Top Handle Bag. Apparently Hollywood’s sexy A-lister saw beauty in this new tote which shows off imported straw with python, suede, leather and canvas trim. While it seems like this list of trims might be over-powering, Coach has a way of adding subtle details to make this bag anything but subtle. On the inside there is a zip pocket, multi-purpose pocket, and satin lining. Like I mentioned before, with all the different trims and textures, the outside is the focus of the bag. On the outside there are also two front pockets with turnlock closures and two side pockets also with turnlock closures. The bag measures 12 (L) x 9 (H) x 4 1/2 (W). Take a cue from Jessica Alba.

When I see a bag with straw, it shouts out sunshine and pina coladas. Right now the warm spring and even warmer summer is just upon the horizon and it is all I want to be thinking about. To get me in a sunshine state of mind is the Prada Straw and Leather Frame Bag. This frame shaped bag shows off a woven straw body and is accented with white leather trim. I love the frame shape of the bag along with the buckle details on the straps and logo plate on the front. Closing up there is a double zip closure. Overall the bag measures 8½”H X 13″L X 4″W. Can’t you see it paired with a perfectly cute flowered summer dress and a rockin’ pair of shades?? Yay for summer.
