Designers Handbags

I love the shape of Coach’s ‘Francine’, although the Coach site describes it as “unique” and it’s hardly that, and I love the colour of this one. It’s also available in teal and in white and it’s not as striking in either. In fact, it looks a little bit cheap, in my opinion.

I’m also not entirely sure about the detachable shoulder straps - useful, but again, a bit cheap-looking. That said, it costs $798, so as ‘It’ bags go, it’s a bargain.

Claudia Schiffer seems to be the model of the season in the eyes of Karl Lagerfeld, with the Kaiser choosing his fellow German as the face of the Chanel spring summer 2008 advertising campaign.

While the beach setting is perfect for spring and summer, is the the black and white tweed suit suitable beachwear? Wouldn’t Claudia look more at home on the beach in one of the Chanel demin bikini’s as seen on the runway as modeled by Gemma Ward?
