Reese Witherspoon is Lanvin Happy

Saturday, April 10th, 2010 at 6:20 pm  

I found this picture of Reese Witherspoon with then boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal and thought how interesting it was to see a multicolored woven bag released seasons ago. Such a piece would have been a perfect accessory this spring.

I guess this just shows how trends come and go, and then come back again. The one on Reese is a Lanvin Happy Woven Bag by the way.

I found another woven Lanvin while doing my search – the Lanvin Happy Satin Woven Purse. Here’s a look:

I’m sure these two Lanvin purses cost a fortune. In fact, the satin purse alone went for over US$2000++ when it was released.

Now if you want something similar but definitey less costly, why not go for a brand like Harveys Seatbelt Bag instead? I found these cute options:

Express Your Love This Season with RED Woven Bags from Rafe New York

Sunday, February 14th, 2010 at 8:58 am  

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! This day is all about LOVE LOVE LOVE. And if you already have a date planned, that means wearing a special outfit later tonight.

Dressing in red is boring, and I’d say a tad too much. Plus, you will easily blend with the decorations so avoid going that route. Go for a neutral monochromatic coloring instead (such as charcoal gray, black, navy, beige, bone, or nude) and just show some love by using an eye-catching red handbag like the red woven bags from Rafe New York enumerated below.

This collection of woven handbags is made from the most luxurious genuine leather, while the detailing is a brilliant mix of weaving and pleating. To cap off the unique combination, Rafe Totengco (the designer) highlighted each bag with a pair of hanging hand-cut, handmade tassels. The outcome is a collection that looks fresh, breathtaking, and super distinct. Take a look:

Rafe New York Zoe Flap Clutch, US$254

Rafe New York Mandy Medium Hobo, US$429
