Inspirational Designer Accessories
Pedre Watch: Made of brushed stainless steel with a rectangular face, the Pedre watch has a woven strap to make for a post modern yet retro appeal. A stylish everyday watch that will add a splash of color to your day. Seen here in orange, it is also available in green, pink, and white. Price: $68
Isabella Fiore Tote: Whenever I think of Isabella Fiore’s designs my mind immediately turns to highly decorated studded bags. So, it was a pleasant surprise to see the Sydney Tote. In comparison to the typical and more well known handbags, this one is much more low key and subdued in style. It’s made of Italian leather and accented with antiqued brass hardware. I love the geometric patterns and lines thoughout. The top flap and tabbed ring helps to break up the pattern a bit. A great bag to wear during all seasons. Bag dimensions: 7 1/2″H x 18″W x 6 1/2″D. Price: $750.
Tod’s Calfskin Bag: Oh, how I love, love, love this bag. I am drawn to the structure and almost utility like feel it has with all of its little zippered pockets. The color is sharp, bold and rich. The muted brass hardware is the perfect color tone to compliment the bag. You could wear this for work, travel, and play. I am normally not a big fan of Tod’s - I think the simplicity is at times too simple - but this particular bag really grabbed my attention. Today, I start saving in my piggy bank for this one. Price: $1,245.
Victoria Secret Convertible Bag: I never usually buy much from Victoria Secret, except of course the unmentionables - I love them! But, it was their clothing line that I was a bit skeptical about. It always seemed a bit racey, and not that I have an ultra conservative style - but it just didn’t seem like it suited me. So, I took a gander at their accessories instead and was pleasantly surprised by this little number. The VS Convertible Bag is made of canvas/polyurethane and has brass hardware. I love anything that could be used in various ways - more bang for your buck! The silver has a little bit of a sheen and sparkle to it, but not so much that it loses its ability to blend in well with outfits and not take center stage. Bag dimensions: messenger style (15″ x 11″) or tote style (15″ x 16″). Price: $79.
