Sissi Rossi Gloria Handbag, Handbag of the Day

Made of super soft supple leather, Rossi’s Gloria Bag would be an upscale “poking around the city” alternative to your typical everyday handbag. It features a top zipper closure, front and side pockets for easy access and an internal pocket for items that require a little extra care. You can wear across your back using the adjustable shoulder straps or hold using the double top handles. The gold accents look gorgeous against the olive leather. But I can’t say that I am fond of white stitching – it never seems to give off a clean finish to a bag. Bag dimensions: 13″H x 16″L x 8″D. Price: $533.

Zac Posen Alexia Frame Bag

I want to like this Zac Posen Alexia Frame Bag, I really do, but I can’t help thinking that the diagonal gold chain detail on the front looks like one of those awful complicated body piercing chains. The rest of the purse, however, is quite stylish, with its smooth espresso leather, rolled leather and chain handle, and pert frame. It’s difficult to make frame handbags look modern and edgy, but this does just that. I only wish that chunky chain link weren’t hanging so awkwardly - it’s a bit TOO edgy.
