There's good news and there's bad news for lovers of this bag. First, the good news: it's on sale. Yippee! Now the bad news: by "on sale" we mean "it's still £609". Boo!
It's by Villador, and we think it has just the right mix of flamboyant bow and serious colour to make it a useful bag to take just about anywhere. If you agree, you can buy one here.
No one could accuse Helena Bonham Carter of not having her own sense of style, and she's probably one of the few people who could actually get away with carrying a handbag which, in someone else's hands, would look like something picked up at a Disney souvenir shop. Not that Helena would care, even if it was, of course: but what do you think of this little fairytale bag?
Valerie from Belgium sent us a link to this Topshop handbag, which she thought looked rather similar to Chanel's Matryoshka bag, which won your approval when we featured it back in January.
Even without the Chanel logos, we somehow doubt any of you would've needed our help working out which bag is which, here, because the Chanel looks expensive (as well it should), while the Topshop version is... yeah.
Of course, the Chanel bag does cost around £2,500, and that's assuming you can get hold of one, whereas the Topshop bag is £22 and available now, so if you've been longing to hang one of these on your arms, you can buy it here.
Oh my God, they killed Kermie!
And they charged $1,673 for his head on a rope!
The Fashion Police need to go and lie down now to digest this disturbing news. First, though, we ask that you all join us in a moment of silence for that poor little frog who never hurt a sole.
. . .
Although today is a day for mourning, rest assured that tomorrow the Fashion Police will be hard at work, hunting down the criminals who did this and bringing them to justice. Temperley London, you have been warned!

Remember Dune's 'Lotty' peep toes? This is the matching handbag. Like the shoes, it's about as kitsch and as twee as it's possible for a bag to be, but that's all just part of its charm. It's £45, it's also available in black, and you can buy it here.
A few weeks ago, we might have questioned the usefulness of a bag that can double as a pillow, but having just taken a long-haul flight, and not being great travellers at the best of times, we can actually see where the designers of the Dream Pillow Bag were going with this.
We can't quite understand why the bag/pillow had to have a print featuring scary fruit people, or, indeed, why it had to be $280, but if you can, you can buy it here.

Foley + Corinna started making their mark in the handbag world in 1999. They are best known for their Mid City Tote, but I prefer this Jet Setter Junior. It comes in lots of colors (purple, black, chestnut, magenta, white, blue, gray, red, sliver) as well as standard and metallic leather. It is the perfect chic bag for work but can be used any time! It also would make a great carry-on while traveling.
If you think it would work for you, find it at Luna Boston for $425.

Fringe. Even although we know it can look stunning in the right hands, we're so used to seeing it in the wrong ones that we've come to have a deep mistrust of it, which leads us to mistrust our initial judgements on the be-fringed fashion items that cross our paths.
Take this Galliano handbag, for instance. We can't help but feel that putting an arm through that strap would feel a little bit like plunging it into the depths of the jungle, not knowing what might be lurking there waiting to bite it off. This image alone is enough to make us say "thanks, but no thanks", but you may see things differently. In fact, you may think the fringing is what makes it wonderful.
Which is it? Is it a fashion crime, or is it absolutely fine? You decide!

I love Matt & Nat bags. They are a stylish alternative to your typical leather bag. They are 100% vegan - no animal products or by-products are used. The designers have done a good job of staying current with their designs, using fun colors, and offering a variety of shapes and sizes. I really like the same-tone stitching and bold, sturdy hardware. The crinkled exterior adds texture and uniqueness. The best part is getting a great bag at a reasonable cost. Their bags range from $165 to $350. Here are few of my favorites, and you can visit Matt & Nat here.

... because it looks like crawling flesh itself. More specifically, it looks like the flabby, saggy flesh of someone's lady-bits. Seriously, does this bag look like a naked, fat person to anyone else, or is it just us?
This was originally sold for $795, but was later greatly reduced in price in the Bergdorf Goodman sale. We wonder why? Don't people WANT to look like they have someone's flaps of flesh hanging from their arm? No?
