Dior Gaucho Denim/Leather Medium Saddle Bag

Dior Gaucho Denim Leather Medium Saddle BagNo, I can not get my mind off the Gaucho. I have seen so many of the wonderful people on the forum post their beautiful Christian Dior handbags and I still yearn for one. If you are opting for the medium bag, gander at the beautiful Dior Gaucho Denim/Leather Medium Saddle Bag. I love this color combination, and unlike the off-white shade that I want, this bag won’t show dirt as easily. This Gaucho is made of denim with calf leather trim alongside lambskin links trim and contrasting topstitching. The chunky antiqued silver metal hardware helps show off the desired look of this bag. There is something about this bag that draws me in; whether it is the medallion and large key dangling from the front, the perfectly placed square pocket under the front flap, the saddle shaped flap pocket, or the chunky silver metal hardware. If you are wanting a Gaucho as bad as me, check out the medium size (which measures 13.5″ x 7″ x 2.75″). Buy this denim beauty via eLuxury for $1,180.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Soft Metallic Leather Fran Bag

Metallic is not out. Seems to me like it won’t be out for a while (seeing that Gucci used it all over the runway for fall/winter). Today is the day of Mr. Marc for all of us; sit back, relax, and enjoy his beautiful bags. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Soft Metallic Leather Fran Bag is glamorous and can be worn dressy or casual. There is something about the soft bronze metallic leather that gives off a perfect amount of glimmer and gold. This tote is flat but still has room for storage with its zipped front pocket and large front pocket. Carry this bronze beauty with topstitched leather shoulder straps with a 9.5″ drop. Closing with a brass pull for the zip top, this bag opens up to show off an inside pocket and floral twill lining. Measuring 15″ (at base) x 13″ x 2″, this bag is available via eLuxury for $278.

Bergacci = Scammers

This deserves a front page mention, for sure. Bergacci, an online store who had been selling “real” Louis Vuitton bags for discounted prices have been exposed to be scammers. Please read this forum thread and this one for more evidence supporting the case.

Don’t get screwed over!

Kooba Large Carla Bag with Braid

Kooba Large Carla Bag with BraidWhile braids are such a trademark of young girls, I never quite liked them. One reason may be because I hated letting my mom do my hair and I couldn’t figure it out myself or even just that I was not good at making braids. As much as I am not a fan of hair braids for myself, I am not a fan of huge braids on a bag. The Kooba Large Carla Bag with Braid is a chestnut polished leather that is cinched at the top with a huge braided leather belt. No thanks. While the bag is described as bohemian chic, I really just see a big awkward and stiff braid. Maybe the antiqued brass hardware accents the bag nicely; then again maybe the hardware is not enough. The shoulder strap is also braided, but it is the braid that brings the top of the bag together that I can not get over. It is so overpowering, especially since it ties in the front and finishes with tassels that are way too long. This bag measures 13″ x 12″ x 6.5″ and maybe one of you likes it, who knows! Buy it via eLuxury for $650.

I think I blinked and then this bag was gone. I kept meaning to post about it, but eLux has not re-stocked! What do you all think of the bag? This is the fun and crazy Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Faridah Bag. What I can tell you is that Little Miss Marc looks how I feel right about now. This bag would be perfectly fun for a day of errands or a day where you too feel like Little Miss Marc. What are your thoughts? :-)

(And someone let me know if it becomes available again!!)
