Bag-a-licious Gifts from THE SAK: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

I got up early or rather an on time today - 7:45am - now that I've finally moved my office out of my bedroom and have some true piece and quite! Wahoo. With my extra time and energy this morning, I went though a slew of mail. Fashion Week invited, old WWD's, bills, and a few holiday gifts. One such gift was completely unexpected. Andrea, the lovely pr girl at The Sak and Elliott Lucca (both by the way owned by the same company) sent me a sweet note and a sweeter bag. Check out the pewter, utilitarian tote? The color is my kind of metallic - very sophisticated and practical. It's not too bold and not likely to get on my nerves even if I wear it every day. There are four outer pockets and a discreetly placed outer cellphone pouch. Inside you'll find more pockets. I'm digging all the organizational value! There's a detachable shoulder strap for those lazy days when toted by the hand just won't do. Of course, I would never use the shoulder strap. It's just too frumpy I for me. Granted, if I had to hold a child in one hand and groceries in the other I might sing another tune ;) . If you're looking for that affordable, durable, work-bag (gosh I sound like I"m on HSN again!) The Sak's Dakota Shopper is a great option. $189 at TheSak.com

Jenny Yuen Handbags - a name to watch in 2007 : BAG TRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

Remember this name: Jenny Yuen. This is the brand to watch for 2007. Jenny's bags are smart, functional and stylish. The Sherlock, Jenny Yuen's must-have day bag, is the new love of my life

As I do with all bag before they are written-up on the BagTrends e-zine or available in our shop, I took it for a test run. The Sherlock glamorously withstood a rigorous day of meetings (translation: I needed mucho space for my files/tech gadgets), me running around the city in 4 inch heals (no added back ache from a nutty big bag, Jenny's is sized right!), and needing instant access to my notepad (ideas come at me all the time). The clever design takes into account a gals need for pockets both inside and out!

While The Sherlock comes in a wide variety of shades, I've opted to only purchase the black pebble grain leather option for our whop. Why? Because I think a day bag should be tough and I prefer to carry textured/pebble grain leather over a softer finished leather (which is how the almond and blush Sherlocks are). If you are interested in another shade, I can send you and image and place a custom order. customerservice@bagtrends.com

Jenny Yuen has many more bags (which I am gladly going to test asap). Don't be surprised to see more styles from this new designer in www.ShopBagTrends.com soon.

Have a bag-a-licious day!

DEAR BAG GURU - Finding A Timeless Day Bag: BAGTRENDS BLOG

Dear Bagistas,

Here's what the mailwoman had for me this week:

I recently became the recipient of a modest windfall and I'm interested in purchasing a classic designer handbag with my earnings. Can you steer me in the direction of a few bags that are sure to translate for many years to come? My budget hovers around $2K or less. Any suggestions you could offer would be awesome. Thanks so much! -- Stacey
