Alstermo Bruk Luggage K Is…

13.Mar.2009
Alstermo Bruk Attaché Case

Wanting.

I love that sapphire blue of this Alstermo Bruk attache. Only issue? It’s basically a box lined in linen, so I’m not sure how my MacBook would do in there…

Alstermo Bruk Cabin Trolley

Using.

I finally got my Alstermo Bruk cabin case. Alstermo Bruk began before Globe Trotter luxury luggage and it’s got the same vibe, for a third of the price: handcrafted, ultra-light elegance. Alstermo Bruk’s AMO-fiber®, the patented material their luggage is made out of, is better than I thought: it’s got a subtle, snakeskinny texture…

Alstermo Bruk Briefcase

Hating.

Cute briefcase, but Alstermo Bruk’s best work is in their AMO-fiber®



Stainless Steel Wallets K Is…

02.Mar.2009
Hard Side Accordian Wallet

Wanting.

So this hard-case wallet is actually made of aluminum. I just love its accordion style — you’ve got a mini-filing cabinet in your pants…

Stainless Steel Business Card Holder

Using.

I bought this stainless steel wallet months ago, and stash all my credit cards, etc., in it. Brown leather, lined in orange, it’s decent looking enough that I can carry it around without a purse (I hate holding bags, if I don’t have to)…

Stainless Steel Driving Wallet

Hating.

A woven stainless steel wallet sounds chic in theory, and looks geek in reality.

What’s cool about this wallet, though, is that it blocks RFID transmissions, so James Bond can’t scan and steal your personal and financial information as you walk by…

Hermes Travel Bags K Is…

16.Feb.2009
Hermes Eppi Style Birkin

Wanting.

I love so elegant a bag roughed up and large. This Hermes travel bag is impractical, but sexy enough so I don’t care. Women, take note in terms of style. And your own personality…

Vintage Hermes Sac Mallette

Using.

I’ve been eying this Hermes travel bag for years, literally. I love that hidden-in-plain-sight jewelry box in the bottom…

Hermes HAC

Hating.

This Hermes travel bag is a caricature of a Birkin. There’s no sprezzatura: it’s not playful enough to be cheeky, not careless enough to be cool, not formed right for even function…






Jalda Bags On Sale K Is…

09.Feb.2009
Jalda Croc Doris Bag

Wanting.

Jalda makes boss bags, but better than that I met her at a charity dinner and she’s hot.

So’s this Jalda bag, which is way on sale: was $505, now $177…

Jalda Black Lamb Fanny Pack

Wearing.

This Jalda belt bag is really equal parts bag and belt, and completely on sale: buy it for $77…

Jalda Patent Selena Clutch

Hating.

The hardware’s too Fucci for me…






Vintage Whiting & Davis Gate-Top Bags K Is…

05.Feb.2009
Vintage Whiting & Davis Gate-Top Silver Mesh Bag

Wanting.

This vintage Whiting & Davis bag is called a gate-top bag, a beggar’s bag, or an accordion-cap bag. I became obsessed with these vintage Whiting & Davis bags when I saw one in college.

This fine mesh silver Whiting & Davis bag is collectible quality. If I ever find one like it, I’m buying…

Vintage Whiting & Davis Silver Gate-Top Mesh Purse

Wearing.

This gate-top Whiting & Davis bag is circa 1930s-40s; the one above is probably Victorian. Either way, the accordion opening of these vintage Whiting & Davis bags never fail to amuse me…

Vintage Whiting & Davis Gold Mesh Gate-Top Handbag

Hating.

That fringe styles this vintage Whiting & Davis bag old lady. I could see some aged beast in Vegas clutching this…






Obama Designer Bags K Is…

20.Jan.2009
DvF Obama Tote Bag

Wanting.

The perfect Obama/DvF tote to toss organic arugula in while marketing.

Wait, I don’t buy groceries.

I’ll flip this on eBay in three years, if anyone will still pay $75 for it during a depression…

Obama Clutch Bag by Armando Javier Design

Wearing.

Who cares if this Obama bag is historic? It’s chic.

Obama bag by Timmy Woods

Hating.

Better left to beehived mavericks (with great legs).





Mirrored Clutches K Is…

06.Jan.2009
Mirror Clutch

Wanting.

This broken mirror clutch by Celestina is wearable art.

Plus, you can check out your chest without anyone noticing…

Mirror Clutch Envelop

Wearing.

This mirror envelop clutch by Ted Rossi is so simple, and so on sale…

Broken Mirror Clutch by CC Skye

Hating.

A blatant, boring knock-off of the Celestina mirror clutch. CC Skye’s broken mirror clutch is half the price, and looks it…



Jimmy Choo Clutches K Is…

28.Oct.2008

Wanting.

A beautiful brick perfect for a night at the Disney Concert Hall — last time I was there I had nothing to throw at the conductor, as he wasted an evening better spent alone with myself, YouTube, and Beyonce…

Wearing.

In lightening pink snakeskin, this Choo clutch is a standalone bag — wear it with nothing else. And since I’m already naked, maybe we can describe it as a “lying – not – quite – alone – if – you’re – rich – enough” bag…

Hating.

Add a lollipop flecked with 24K gold, mink ribbons to tie your hair into pigtails, and mary janes covered in Swarovskis. Now you’re the prettiest princess for your 36th birthday. By the way, your husband’s banging a grown-up…
