Designers Handbags

Yes, we all know the Silverado. Today I am not mentioning this beauty as if you don’t know about it, but to tell you that the Gold is actually quite a bold and beautiful color and it fits in perfectly with my metallic need of the day. Those of you who are yearning for a trendy metallic bag don’t even think of not considering the Chloe Metallic Gold Silverado Satchel. As dull as it may be, I am going to list the features of this bag (because for many of us it will be old news). The bag shows off “metallic gold pebble-grain leather, whipstitched trim, antiqued golden hardware and studs, shoulder straps, zip top with extended snap tab, side snap-flap pockets, snap tabs on base of bag, canvas lining, inside pocket, and measures 7 1/5″H x 15 1/5″W x 6″D”. (taken directly from BG). I really like this specific gold color, but I haven’t seen it in person so I’m not quite sure what it will look like. Any of you know?

Is anyone done with hearing about Chloe? My guess would be that some people are, but I sure am not. I can’t fall out of love with my Paddy- it is my baby. I wear that bag and my arm feels so privileged! Vlad even loves it; heck my dad even loves it! So if you like the Paddy but want a little bit of a different style Chloe keeps on inventing for you. The Chloe Large Paddington Hobo looks like that familiar Paddington, feels like that familiar Paddington, sports the lock of that familiar Paddington, it nearly is that familiar Paddington… but a little different. This hobo is made of ivory leather with brown edging and beautiful golden hardware and studs. The hobo, unlike its ever popular prom queen sister, only sports one shoulder strap. The hobo style closes up with a zip top and the coveted and ever signature padlock and extended tab. The paddy hobo measures 10 4/5″H x 14 2/5″W x 7 2/5″D.

Most of us are quite accustomed to two main styles over at Chloe. But little Miss Thang is all about having us get to know her other designs a bit better. Let me introduce you to the beautiful Chloe Ascot Tote. This vivacious green tote bag is made from dark green pebble-grain leather and adds a little more color with teal trim. The big green is taking off the handbag world and shines in the sun with its golden hardware and studs. The focal point of this tote are the top and bottom tabs connected with the shackle clasp which adds a new dimension to the tote. I’m a fan of green and a big fan of teal, but I’m a little on the line with the combination of these two colors in this bag. Either way, I find the bag different and alluring.

I think I blinked and then this bag was gone. I kept meaning to post about it, but eLux has not re-stocked! What do you all think of the bag? This is the fun and crazy Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Faridah Bag. What I can tell you is that Little Miss Marc looks how I feel right about now. This bag would be perfectly fun for a day of errands or a day where you too feel like Little Miss Marc. What are your thoughts?

Metallic is not out. Seems to me like it won’t be out for a while (seeing that Gucci used it all over the runway for fall/winter). Today is the day of Mr. Marc for all of us; sit back, relax, and enjoy his beautiful bags. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Soft Metallic Leather Fran Bag is glamorous and can be worn dressy or casual. There is something about the soft bronze metallic leather that gives off a perfect amount of glimmer and gold. This tote is flat but still has room for storage with its zipped front pocket and large front pocket. Carry this bronze beauty with topstitched leather shoulder straps with a 9.5″ drop. Closing with a brass pull for the zip top, this bag opens up to show off an inside pocket and floral twill lining. Measuring 15″ (at base) x 13″ x 2″
