Cute Clutches under $200 by Aksuona: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

I'm so excited to share a fun new UK brand with you - Aksuona. It's a super affordable, well crafted line of fun evening bags. For under $200 you get the handmade touch. Some styles are ever under $150. They make great holiday gifts for your gal friends.

Going Steady with Rebecca Minkoff, spring 2008 bags: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

Yesterday we posted images of the Rebecca Minkoff Spring 2008 handbag line at BagTrends.com. Isn't it amazing? The Steady (shown here) is such a breathtaking bag and my new it bag. I love the satchel shape, the option of the shoulder strap, the four cleverly designed outer pockets and especially the flip open hidden magnetic opening. Seriously, it's divine design and I'm personally buying it in sterling which is kind of a deceiving name. The color isn't really silver, but more of a really really muted-down gold that has a silver undertone. The leather has a nice texture so it's another great through-and-go bag (ie no worries about scraping the body). They will retail for $625 at ShopBagTrends.com and I know you're thinking "gosh that's a lot," but OMG this is such a hot bag I can't even begin to tell you how I begged and pleaded at the showroom to get one asap. Alas, I too will have to wait. If you want one we'll begin taking pre-orders in January.

I also have to comment on the wicked new custom hardware on the Morning After Bags. Previously, the side clasps had no logo or spunk. But now, the RM initials in the signature swivel script are elegantly engravd into gold or silver lockets. This should help fend off pesky knockoffs. Morning After Minis will retail for $515.

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Ted Rossi Boutique to Open at Henri Bendel: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

I'm so excited to share that Ted Rossi will now have a boutique at New York’s famed Henri Bendel, and just in time for the holiday season. Can you imagine a chicer stocking stuffer or Chanukah gelt than a Ted Rossi bangle? Well, maybe a Ted Rossi bag. (FYI Ted told me new bags are in the works for the spring season.)

The Ted Rossi boutique will be opening in mid-November inside of Henri Bendel. The 75 sq ft. shop will be located at one of the storefront 5th Avenue windows and will feature the full range of Ted Rossi products, including jewelry, handbags, and hair accessories.

I'm so excited for Ted and his whole team! When I first launched BagTrends nearly three years ago, Ted Rossi was one of the first brands I featured in that memorable April 2005 Top 3 Trends. It was also the first brand to do a giveaway with us that one you lucky bagistas got to enjoy. It's been a great three years for Ted Rossi and BagTrends - we've both come a long way! Rock on TR!!

Have a bag-a-licous day!

Bag and Borrow Hermes Handags: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

If you're a fan of luxury handbags, but your wallet hasn't caught up to your taste you'll love the new "Vintage Collection" at Bag Borrow or Steal.

The "Vintage Collection" is a compilation of the most coveted designer handbags in the world from iconic designers, including Chanel, Gucci, and Hérmes. The collection is the first of its kind available for borrowing and includes some of the most sought-after handbags in the world, such as the Hérmes Birkin and Kelly. Each piece is individually priced with a monthly rental range from $100 - $4,800. Weekly rental are available, starting for as low as $40!

I love that Bag Borrow or Steal has teamed up with Clair Watson, couture consultant for Doyle New York auction house. Watson is BBorS new vintage curator responsible for assembling the collection.

"As a result of the rising popularity of vintage accessories, their price tags are soaring, nearly doubling what they were 10 years ago," said Watson. "Vintage fashion makes a distinctive style statement in a fashion landscape where it is increasingly difficult to stand out. The designer handbags in the Vintage Collection give women the means to enhance their personal style and express their individuality."

What do you think about borrowing bags? Ya or nah? Let me know.

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Rebecca Minkoff in Andy Warhol's eyes: BAGTRENDS

Dear "Alpha Kitty" Bagistas,

I was inspired by the Warhol-esque videos produced by Alpha Kitty so I decided to do my own artist work. What do you think?

Below are four fabulous versions of the Rebecca Minkoff Morning after Mini.


To purchase the bag visit SHOPBagTrends.com (If you want the grey color, we are running low!! Get it fast. I'm not sure we'll be getting another shipment.)

Atoosa Rubenstein's Alpha Kitty Project: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

I have to share a fabulous new project with you called Alpha Kitty - a combination of girl power and Oprah Winfrey meets the digital video revolution. Alpha Kitties are brave, intuitive, fierce, and passionate. The brainchild behind this movement is former Seventeen editor-in-chief and founder of CosmoGirl! Atoosa Rubenstein. (FYI I heart Atoosa so much. She's one of my media role models and I love her positive message for young women).

But back to Alpha Kitties, which first scratched the couches of YouTubers, with videos of young phenomena like 18-year old Esmee Denters the first artist signed to Justin Timberlake's record label; fashion writer and my good friend Zandile Blay; and designer/drag queen Phillipe Blond.

Now Atoosa's teamed up with Andy Warhol :) or at least his book and once again aims to uplift, inspire and empower young girls to believe in themselves; to stop looking up to the Lindsays and Paris' of the world; to go out and make their dreams come true!! Watch the video's they are great.
