Rock Patchwork Shoulder Bag from Balmain

Have a look at this sleek and super stylish Rock Leather and Crocodile Patchwork Shoulder Bag from Balmain. It was recently presented for Spring 2011. You may think spring is too far. Yes, you are right, but fashion designers never stop inventing new, unusual and interesting things. Personally, I could not wait until spring comes to carry this magnificent handbag.

This Balmain gold leather patchwork shoulder bag features crocodile and sequin embellished panels. As far as I know patchwork is likely to be on the peak of popularity the Spring to come. At least, I would like to believe so as patchwork looks so vivid and unusual.

The shoulder bag has woven details at patchwork seams, gold chain link straps with a leather shoulder tab, uneven edges at front flap, a concealed magnetic fastening to close. If we look in inside of the bag we will see that it is a roomy bag with an internal gold designer stamped plaque, a silver zip fastening pouch pocket with a ‘B’ zip pull and it is fully lined in black satin.

Metallic leather, gold crocodile and sequin-embellished patchwork make this elaborate Balmain shoulder bag the epitome of the label’s baroque ‘n’ roll aesthetic. Experts advise us to carry it at cocktails with a high-collared white shirt and rebel-cool leather pants to make a hard-hitting first impression.

The model you can see in the picture is wearing this Balmain gold leather patchwork shoulder bag teamed up with Balmain jacket, Fendi pants, Alexander McQueen top and Erickson Beamon earrings. The whole image of the model is super trendy, urban like, vivid and feminine.

Everything seems to be impeccable about this bag. However, even the sun has dark spots. The only dark spot of the Balmain patchwork shoulder bag is the price. Would you agree to pay $7,912.80 for the bag?

Minimalistic Trend for Fall 2010 from Chloe

The world renowned fashion house of Chloe presented the Fall 2010 Collection where they returned to the signature aesthetic. As the face of the Fall 2010 campaign was chosen Raquel Zimmermann, the fashion model who has been noticed in Vogue US and has worked for Gucci.

The Fall 2010 collection by Chloe is based on beige hues. The only accessory that stands out on the background of infinite beige is handbags. Chloe has presented a great selection in handbags and the looks for the fall 2010 collection are gorgeous.

The bags feature an array of colors from deep plums, to candy reds, and warm chestnut. I was especially amazed by the diversity of styles: ranging from satchels to totes and shoulder bags there’s truly something for everyone.

Experts say that Chloe handbags for Fall 2010 are minimalistic, some say that they are rather boring. The thing is the designer returned to the classic shapes and classic styles. And I am sure that lots of women will appreciate this step at its true value.

Among the bags I would like to pay your attention to there is Chloe Aurore Bucket Bag. The distinctive feature of the bag is a drawstring that fastens the item. Aurore is made in traditional beige and can be bought for $ 1695.

Chloe Aurore Top Handle makes me think about travelling. For some reason I associate the bag with a suitcase. Gold tone hardware on the top goes well with the color. A very stylish and fashion conscious choice, I would say. But the item is quite pricey, it is available for $ 1995. Not that little!

I cannot but mentioning that Chloe presented several bags featuring pleated handles. Personally I adore the idea as it makes the bag look a bit romantic yet modern and urban.

One of the biggest sellers this year, the quilted leather Stam comes in grey and patent for winter. It represents a blend of high fashion status with a down-town street sensibility in an awesome way that only Marc Jacobs can do. The bag costs £ 760.
