Violet May London, Luxury Laptop Bags and Accessories: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

I'm working on a laptop bag story for AOL's fashion site - http://www.stylelist.com/ - and I can't tell how hard it has been to round up a selection of fashionable, computer-friendly bags. It's not like I've never shopped for this bag or written about it, but I'm really trying to find a few that are also true luxury laptop bags - not an easy task. What's a gal who loves the luxury of a Carlos Falchi crocodile tote or a new ditty from Lanvin supposed to use when she goes high tech? Tumi? No offense to Tumi, but while the quality is certainly there, there's still no feminine lux, no use of exotic skins or unique fabrics of other kinds, no wow factor.

Presenting ...

Violet May, a London-based accessories company that as they say "brings a touch of fabulousness and luxury to everyday working life." Founder Claire Collins realized, like most of us, that it's quite frustrating to find stylish, business accessories, so she decided to help herself - I mean us - out. Violet May is produced in Spain at an atelier with over 100 years of experience in the leather goods manufacturing industry. Doesn't that alone make you want to go out and buy one? I mean how many brands that have launched in the past 5 years are being produced in the fine European factories using skilled artisans and top of the line skins? Few! Trust me. Any way, enough of my babbling. Do check out the Viotet May website and you'll see why I'm raving about this brand. The prices aren't budget conscious - the featured style here is $970. But you are getting the python, the fabulous inner lining, the detailing, the craftsmanship and the pleasure of owning a truly bag-a-licous laptop bag.

Bossy Cat Snake Skin Clutches for Under $260: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

How luxuriously yummy are these Bossy Cat box clutch? With the bejeweled clasp they have a vintage vibe. Plus, that price $258 - for snake skin no less - is almost too good to be true.

Bossy Cat is the brainchild of Sofia Wallin, one of Asia's top models, who felt that she and her friends could not find stylish, practical and affordable clutch bags that were versatile enough to combine with both casual and evening wear. Wearing high-end fashion on the runway, she had in mind a versatile, affordable option that would sacrifice nothing for style. Thus inspired, this young entrepreneur developed her own line of clutch bags and smaller handbags.

I love this emerald green clutch, but would probably opt for the basic black. Actually for $258 for a snake skin evening bag, I may just go for both! Available at Searl.com.

Have a bag-a-licious day!
