Hot Metallic Resort Handbags

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 09:28:30 -0800

The ship has sailed on 2007 Resort wear and accessories, and it looks like metallics are on board once again. But these handsome new handbags aren't just at home on holiday; the bronze, golds, and other rich tones are sure to make a glittering statement this holiday season. Here are some of my favorite new bags.

The Gucci Peggy Large Shoulder Bag is made from copper python with copper leather trim. The roomy style has an exquisite tassel detail as well as a sturdy braided double shoulder strap. Buy it here for $2,990.

This Fendi Canvas/Metallic B Bag is made from canvas and calfskin with bold metallic accents and top-stitching. The brass logo is chic and understated, and the chain accent add a chic edge. Buy it here for $1,000.

Trend Alert: Colored Metallic Handbags

FabSugar — Mon, 21 May 2007 08:03:33 -0700

These colored metallic handbags are a refreshing take on the metallic trend that's been so strong the past couple seasons. Really, I knew it wouldn't too long before we would start seeing metallic incarnations and I am quite excited for these. They kind of make my mouth water; is that normal? Anywho, if you liked the fruit striped flats I'm sure you'll like these colorful shiny beauties.

The Bag To Have: Lanvin Metallic Kentucky Tote

FabSugar — Thu, 17 May 2007 14:16:55 -0700

Lanvin has such a rich history and it amazingly keeps reinventing itself. This Metallic Kentucky Tote, $2,175, is immaculate. The soft leather and warm metallic hue is so refreshing next to some of the more masculine and gaudy handbags out there right now. Best of all, it will be great for Spring, Summer and Fall, because, as you recall, small metallic purses are here to stay. Plus, the top half sort of reminds me of the Hermes Birkin, and anything that resembles a Birkin is a sign of a bag to have in my book.

Kate Spade Fall 2007 Purple Metallic Handbag: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 07:31:33 -0800

I was happy to see less metallics on the Fall runways - but don't get me wrong, they will linger. I've stated I'm over metallics but this Kate Spade purple metallic handbag that debuted yesterday caught my eye. Though it doesn't look like the most functional bag - with the thick ruffled handle and drawstring closure - I love the purple metallic! So, undecided. You?

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 10:00:11 -0800

This Mary Norton Sceptre Gold Metal Handbag ($2,995) is decadent! Its sides are encrusted with semiprecious cabochons and rhinestones, and it is handcrafted in Italy. But can you tell? Does it look luxe or just cheesy?

Zagliani Metallic Python Handbag: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 01:22:22 -0700

Zagliani bags may be pretty, but they're not cheap: this Zagliani Metallic Python Handbag is $2,865. Jennifer Lopez loves hers, but I'm not sure if I could love one of my own, even if I could afford it.

The bags are designed by dermatologist-turned-designer Mauro Orietti-Carella, who injects the python skin bags with silicone, causing the plumped look. How very Nip/Tuck! So, after knowing the bag background, what do you think?

On Our Radar: Naomi Campbell Collaborates With Louis Vuitton

FabSugarUK — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 01:30:28 -0700

Naomi Campbell is often finding ways to raise money for a good cause using her fashion credentials. She has previously organised the Fashion for Relief catwalk show, and a fundraiser in India and now she has revealed plans to collaborate with Louis Vuitton.

The supermodel has created a handbag for the design house to raise money for the White Ribbon Alliance. It's a classic square shaped canvas bag with strips of metallic leather. The bag is yet to have a name, but will begin retailing in March to coincide with International Women's Day for 1,900 euros (about £1,750).

She told WWD, "People say fashion people don’t do anything. We do a lot." She missed out on the Louis Vuitton Spring show earlier this week, but did add her stamp of approval. “I’m a big Angela Davis fan, although I’m not sure if that was the inspiration. I love an Afro. I’ve rocked an Afro many a time.”

Dolce & Gabbana Hand-Woven Hobo: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 22 May 2007 14:25:33 -0700

I am torn about this Dolce & Gabbana Metallic Hand-Woven Hobo that Lolipop89 posted in the Love It or Hate It? group. It could potentially work with a Summery beach ensemble, but I'm not so sure it's worth paying over a $1000 for a bag I can only wear during one season. Plus, it kinda looks like a fisherman's net. What do you all think?
