I fell in love with the Lanvin Kentucky north-south styled tote ever since I saw socialite fashion heiress Margherita Missoni at Chloe’s newly refurbished Madison Avenue boutique re-opening Party with the Lanvin Kentucky. And of course the multiple occasions and outfits Coutney Cox matched with the stunning Lanvin Kentucky. See pictures below by clicking the thumbnails..

This multi-functional bag is ideal for woman on the go. The Kentucky tote is dressed in khaki green canvas tote and trimmed with brown leather and accessorized with gunmetal hardware. The interior is fully lined and features a single side zip pocket. Measurements 14″ x 14″ x 5″ with a 7.5″ handle drop. This is the last color version available in the sale section, so grab one while you still have the chance. Right now the Kentucky is on sale for $639, marked down from $959.

The handbag above is actually from Devi Kroell’s cheaper line for Tar-jhay. Anne Hathaway with her Target Bag, a perfect example that money doesn’t buy style. You don’t have to spend $500+ on a handbag to be fashionable, there are hundreds, heck even thousands of designers out there that come out with great bags that are stylish and very affordable.

The Devi Kroell designer handbags which are known for their four-figure price tag and exotic material, traded in all of the above to feature an under $50 price tag and embossed python material.

Not too long ago, I came across this wonderful product from Lovin My Bags called For Handles Only. This cream is an oil inhibiting product that prevents naked leather from darkening. Now I realize that I lot of people actually like their handles to patina, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try this product. From what I have experienced, it does not completely prevent your handles from darkening. Instead, it allows them to darken much more slowly and evenly. No more yucky black spots where your fingers always grasp the handles! Definitely a must-have for anyone who loves Louis Vuitton! The only down side to this product is that it can only be used for prevention and maintenance applications. If your leather has already darkened, this product won’t be able to help you.
For Handles Only is $14.95 for a 2 oz. jar or $26.95 for a 4 oz. jar.

Other products found at Lovin My Bags include:
Luxury Cleanser (For Balenciaga)
Luxury Cleanser Plus (For untreated leathers)
Feel Soft Moisturizer

While I was browsing over at Vivre.com, I stumble across this interesting bag by the actress/singer turned bag designer, Sang A. It’s called the River Square Tote and is made from richly-colored python. But not only is this bag yellow (Vivre.com describes it as matte bone), but its square! This unique little number certainly would receive some second looks as it strolled down the street! What makes this bag even more intriguing is the repetition of the square shape. The hardware located at the base of the handles, as well as the zipper pull, are all squares. For added convenience, the bag also features an optional shoulder strap and a front pocket for your keys. A good sized tote, it measures 13″ x 16″ x 3½”. Although this bag, with its $2,450 price tag, would probably not be found in my own collection, I can definitely say that I would admire anyone I saw carrying it. Who knows, perhaps it will be you!

Head on over to Eluxury (dot com) now, and you will be greeted by a lovely ad announcing the arrival of Louis Vuitton’s Damier Berkeley via their website. Louis Vuitton’s Berkeley gets its name off of Berkeley Square, a town square located in Westminister, London. It is an area known to inhabit extremely wealthy residents and acquires expensive (and limited) real estates. Louis Vuitton’s Berkeley is disguised in two different shades of the Damier canvas pattern, azur and ebony. Natural cowhide leather trim (on the azur version) or smooth chocolate leather (featured in the damier version) can be found throughout this bag, as well as round golden brass studs. Two key details I really like about the Berkeley would be the golden plated plaque on the front of the bag which reads “Louis Vuitton Inventeur‿, and four protective metal feet found at the base of this bag (a must if you seek to keep your handbags’ bottom clean). More features include adjustable rolled leather handles, patch pockets found on its sides, fine textile lining, a double zipper closure, a 12.4‿ x 8.7‿ x 5.5‿ measurement, and a $1,480 price tag.
