eBags ushers in Fall with a sale on woven purses and totes. You might think woven bags have no place in your Fall wardrobe, but they do. If you want to break your outfit black and gray outfit with an unexpected detail, the skull weave bag from Rebecca Minkoff may do the trick. If you’re the kind of gal who rocks the bohemian look all year round, then a colorful woven bag will definitely work well with your dresses and blouses. If you’re a busy mom who needs a roomy bag for running errands, then look at the roomy but light bag from Elaine Turner.

The next bag is less summery with a design that fits right into fall:

The Bottega Veneta Waist Pack: Yay or Nay?

The fanny pack was back in trend a few years ago and we’re sure they would make another comeback in a couple more years. We honestly think it would be nice to have one beautiful waist pack in one’s closet for days when one’s activity will require one to have have her hands free. A nice belt bag (yup, we used the word belt bag.  :-) ) in leather, in the right size, would be a good purchase.

We found a leather and nylon waist bag in Bluefly and it’s by no less than Bottega Veneta, but for $840 we’re unsure about this bag:

Bottega Veneta Leather and Nylon Waist Pack

This waist pack will probably last forever which means we can make use of it every time the fanny pack goes back in style, but we still don’t think we’re willing to fork over that much money on such a bag.

The bag’s exterior is made of leather and nylon. The front has basket weave leather with a zip. The main compartment is lined with nylon as you can see in this photo:Bottega Veneta Waist Pack Tag

The bag is actually two-toned: black and dark brown. The bag measures approximately 12” at widest x 6½” tall at center x 2” deep; weighs 0.5 lbs.
