| Military chic is all the rage for the Fall season, which has inspired Prada to create their new handbag line for the season to come. Personally I would have never imagined that one day world renowned fashion designers would be inspired to make their goods out of the globally recognizable prints of camouflage. The first to present these unexpected designs was the House of Vuitton with the collaboration of Takashi Murakami when they revealed to the world the Monogramouflage line. |
 |
| Whether you believe it or not, the items became a hit instantly, which is proved by affection of celebrities to the idea. Now another fashion brand, I mean Prada, joins to the military concept. It may turn into a new trend for fall 2010, who knows. As part of the collection Prada designers offer several different styles, with some of them in 3 different camouflage color variations. |
 |
| In the collection presented by Prada you can see Saffiano Camouflage Tote that is made of sturdy calfskin perfect for everyday wear. The tote is 17″ wide X 14″ high X 7″ deep, it features a 4½” double top handle and a 9″-12″ detachable shoulder strap. Saffiano Camouflage Tote is fully lined with signature jacquard, it sports metal feet, snap closure, two inside zippers, two open pockets. The tote bag looks quite interesting. This tote is not too military yet it is perfectly styled to sport camouflage with the rigid shape. The handle proportions are just right - feminine and ladylike so you can wear this with your flouncy as well as sporty. It is still quite specific and obviously trendy but it is really pricey. You can purchase it via the Internet for $2,495. |

| Well, I cannot say that I am thrilled by the trend, I do not think that military camouflage can be chic anyway. And what do you think? |

| The name of Carlos Falchi is gaining popularity in the world of fashion lately due to his unconventional approach to accessories and clothes. Nothing looks like a beautiful handbag designed by Carlos Falchi. Now you can see women with Carlos Falchi Barbarella tote everywhere. |
|
| As we now the index of popularity of this or that fashion designer can be determined by verifying what celebrities carry an item. So the fact that carrying Falchi bag was spotted none other than the most extravagant and stylish pop singer Rihanna means a lot. The singer chose the tote in metallic silver. |
 |
| The bag comes in a variety of faux snakeskin colors, or patent microfiber, and it’s priced at $185 for the small (14 in X 13 in) and $220 for the medium (17 in X 16 in). It’s fully lined, has a removable interior zipper pouch, two inside open pockets as well as key and pen holders, and it’s a bit hard to make out in the photo, but the top is finished with a scalloped trim. The bag includes matching cosmetics pouch, features a magnetic closure and a 10 in shoulder strap. Carlos Falchi Barbarella tote is available in four color options: black, silver, gold and brown. |
 |
| Carlos Falchi Barbarella a roomy snake-embossed shopping tote bag gives a touch of the wild for any daily adventure. The tote is both exotic and charming. The metallic could border on tacky depending on the outfit you’re wearing this with, but it works against a neutral look like Rihanna’s.
Another major weak point of the Barbarella is that it’s super thin, so if you’re thinking of getting it to use as a grocery shopper or need a bag that could hold something like a laptop, you’re out of luck. Anyway, lots of fashionistas adore the bag and do not think of such stuff. |

| Lately every fashion lover has acquired at least one item featuring animalistic print. The most popular motifs among them there are doubtlessly leopard and zebra prints. So if you did not believe in the success of exotic prints, here you are. Now the trend for the prints have come our expectations. A famous fashion designer Judith Leiber has launched a series of animal inspired clutches. |
 |
| These are not bags you can carry with just anything, this crystal embellished clutch looks probably its best when paired with all black. Hardly had the clutches appeared in boutiques, a wave of critics and admiration raised. Some women fell in love with a new trend, or it is better to say a new manifestation of the popular trend. While others consider new clutches absurdly extreme and inappropriate. |
 |
| Actually, the clutches look super aesthetic: gracefully crouching animals’ bodies are covered from head to toe in hand placed Swarovski crystals. The few surfaces that aren’t crystallized are gold tone hardware, including the push-clasp fastening and chain handle that can be hidden inside for true clutch fashion. The interior features gold leather lining, wildcat clutches sport paws engraved on the base. And, of course, there you can see a tiny designer plaque. |
 |
| Judith Leiber is known as the favorite designer of most celebrities, that is why I wonder if we will see any fashionista carrying an animal inspired clutch from Judith Leiber. The answer is unpredictable, I think. Anyway, these clutches are perfect for glamorous events, they are the sparkliest way to drive everybody’s attention and get numerous compliments. And the last thing which is the least pleasant of all, the new clutches by Judith Leiber are really pricey. The price ranges from $ 4995 to $ 5495 depending on the animal. Do you think the trendy clutches are worth that much money? |
