When it comes to accessory trends, the whole world turns to Italy. Plain and simple, the changes start here. Trussardi 1911 is a one hundred year old Italian brand, and while many of their Fall bag designs are derivative of Chanel or Hermès, it's worth taking a look, if for nothing else than to check out the upcoming trend shifts.

Pint-sized princess Eva Longoria certainly picked up some handbag pointers from her pal Victoria Beckham. The actress accessorized her cute pale pink top, sweater and jeans outfit with a beautiful blue Hermes Birkin purse, one of Beckham’s faves. I love the way the rich blue contrasts with the dusty pink. So much for being “desperate.”

Hermes Jypsiere

The Hermes Kelly is an iconic bag, but with its structured shape and usual smaller sizes, it lends a very dressy vibe to your outfits. When Hermes sent out the Jypsiere for their Fall 2008 collection, everyone who…

A Few of My Favorite Things: All-Time Favorite Bags Edition

Posted on on Thu, 02/11/2010 - 08:46 by Designer Handbag Reviews At Señora Cartera
Back in December, I began a series of personal posts entitled "A Few Of My Favorite Things" with the goal of sharing with my readers the things that I love. From my obsession with reality shows to a penchant for Hershey chocolate bars to my favorite person and all of her favorite things, I've provided a glimpse into what Señora Cartera favors. Now I'm closing out this series by sharing my all-time favorite bags with you.

When Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw made the Fendi Baguette the "it" bag to have, I loved it and had to have one. Back then, I was single and favored smaller bags. The 'Baguette' was the perfect companion. I had quite a few, but, sadly, ended up selling them all to fund my next bag obsession.

My Favorite Bags

This leads me to the Balenciaga City Bag. I've bought many of them as well, but only sold away a few. For me, the 'City' provides the look and feel I prefer to use on a daily basis. I can bang up my City bags without worrying because the quality of the goatskin leather on these designs is beyond comparison. I love that I can have the same bag, but switch things up with different colors. It's change done in small doses, and that's how I like my bags to evolve.

Now that you're familiar with my past and present bag obsessions, it's time to know what I hope lies waiting for me in my future. While the handbag loving world fawns over the Hermés Birkin, I long for a sweet, demure Kelly Bag. Even though a croc Kelly is pictured here, my heart desires an Hermés 32 cm black lizard Kelly. This bag is the epitome of timeless sophistication. I want to grow old with that bag. I want to attend my son's weddings carrying that bag, and I'd want to be buried with it. If I'm lucky enough to go to heaven, then I want my black lizard Kelly bag with me for eternity.  My hubby promised I could get one on our 10th wedding anniversary. Only four more years to go.

There you have it, folks. I hope you've enjoyed learning a few things about me from knowing what my favorite things are. I'd love to know what your all-time favorite bags are. Please feel free to share!

More Fall 2010 Man Bags

Posted on on Wed, 02/10/2010 - 15:29 by Designer Handbag Reviews At Señora Cartera

Travel bags, from spacious canvas totes to urban and utilitarian duffels, were everywhere during fall 2010's menswear fashion weeks. I've selected the best pieces from labels like Burberry and Hermés. My only complaint with these timeless designs is the absolute lack of color. I'd love to see a sharp dressed man toting a cobalt blue weekender. Wouldn't you?


I thought it would be appropriate to include what I found to be the worst man bag I've ever seen. This poor thing has way too much going on, and, unfortunately, none of it is good. I can't fathom who the target audience is for a design like this, but apparently Lanvin believes there's an audience out there clamoring for a hot mess bag.

Hermes Opens First Men's Store

Posted on on Tue, 02/09/2010 - 12:36 by Luxist

Tomorrow, Hermès will open its first men's store entirely dedicated to men's ready-to-wear, accessories and art of living. Called Hermès Man, the boutique is located at 690 Madison Avenue in New York at East 62nd Street and stands directly across the street from the U.S. flagship store.

"We felt there was a tremendous opportunity to really showcase all these wonderful products for men that Hermès makes," said Robert Chavez, President and CEO of Hermès USA during an exclusive interview with Luxist. "These products tended to be overshadowed or almost hidden among the other categories across the street. This store will raise the awareness level of our current and potential male clients in this market who might not have realized before that Hermès had all of these products, from our enamel cuff links to the made-to-measure program."

The store will also feature exclusive products that were made specifically for the new Hermes boutique. Exclusive items include a selection of silk ties--one with the Statue of Liberty next to the Eiffel Tower on the front, while another has an apple motif and comes in four different colors. On the reverse of the ties, "Hermès Homme" appears, which is a signature for the new line.

Another signature product that is exclusive for Hermès Man is a handcrafted leather baseball glove, which retails for $8,200. "The baseball glove is a new product," says Chavez. "It has never been made before by Hermes. We thought if we are opening our very first Hermès boutique for men in the world and it is going happen in the United States and in New York City, then we need to make to make a baseball glove. When you think about it---with the leather and the stitching, it is a natural fit for us. When we first saw the glove, we were all taken aback by how beautiful it is. And as fate would have it, as we knew this date was approaching the New York Yankees won the World Series!"
