Botkier’s Soft Pleated Hobo is available in this ultra girly Dusty Rose shade. Isn’t it lovely? You could tell by this photo that this bag is super soft. Made of supple Italian leather, the soft pleats and fringe zipper pulls make this such a great choice for Spring. Botkier gave this hobo all the right details without making it look gaudy. From the top zip closure, zip pockets, removable shoulder strap and the fab every day size of 15 1/2″W x 10 1/2″H x 7″D this pretty bag would look just right with any outfit. I’d wear it with jeans, sandalas and a pretty top. The price point isnt too bad either, for a Botkier. If pink isn’t your shade, it is also available in black and silver! Available now for $595 at Nordstrom

From the quilted grained leather, the golden brass hardware with the rolled leather handles, you can tell right away this Marc Jacobs satchel is luxurious. The satchel shape is classic, the size 14″x 11.5″x 6″ is not too big.  However, I feel the leather belt and buckle around the bag is a bit much. I don’t think it needs that detail to make it look good.  In any case, it’s a very smart looking bag and the Beige colour is beautiful and versatile. I’m definitely a Marc Jacobs‘ fan and the material and craftsmanship is excellent. Get the Bruna Double Quilted Satchel now at eLuxury for $1295

I really like this Versace bag. Although the ivory coloured jacquard fabric has the Versace signature Grecian key, it’s subtle not gaudy as some logo-ed handbags tend to be. Paired with grained metallic leather trim and gold hardware this Versace Logo Jacquard Hobo looks very elegant and classy.   Available now at eLuxury for $1590

The first thing I noticed was the heaviness of the chains, but surprisingly enough, it didn’t take away from the femininity of the bag in the least. I don’t know how he pulled it off, but this is one gorgeous bag by Christian Louboutin! You are no doubt going to love this… the bag is lined in what else… but red!! ($1195.00 in case you are curious.)
