Like most BGs, I’m a handbag fanatic! Although I can’t afford to splurge on some of the designer brands like Fendi, Alberta Ferretti or Balenciaga, I still find classic styles that complement my wardrobe as well as my bank account. I know I told you about the “it” colors of the season last month – metallics, but the style of the moment is the quilted pattern. Designers are now mimicking the classic Chanel quilted look with their handbags. From a small and shady back room on Canal Street to high-end boutiques in Italy, the quilted bags are all the rage. I’ve seen this refined and chic style in a variety of colors and shapes. I haven’t purchased one just yet, but when I do, it’s going to be hot!

WoW! I love each one. Actually, I don't think I've ever seen a purse I didn't like! Unfortunately, these are a bit too pricey for me but I sometimes wonder if I would ever be willing to spend over $1K on a purse. As beautiful as they are, I think something inside me would oppose such extravagance...but don't quote me on that. :-)
I've been looking for more affordable ones. If you see one that's under $100, please let me know. I think I should try Macy's.
Believe it or not, I just came from a new store in the Galleria here in Houston. The store is Zara and it is high fashion funk. I'm telling you they have great stuff that is somewhat affordable. I was so stunned to find a very cute, quilted purse for only $26! They had them in red and black. Fabulous!
omg! if you see any imposter f. biasia bags.. please let us know!!!! oh yes, let me check out my local zara. a new one opened up by my job =)
