Four brown bags, four very different price points. Here’s how faux suede from Gap and Old Navy compares with genuine suede from Quince and Chanel.

I've never been a die hard fan of Missoni. It's a bit granola for me (granola-luxe that is!). From far away the prints and stitches look kinda nice but the minute I get up close to the piece I have a change of heart. Maybe it's a taste maturity thing and one day I just…

If I weren't so lazy I'd have bought this clutch by now. I mean lazy as in I can't imagine actually carrying this bag in my hand or under my arm all night. How do girls do it? I've been trying to psych myself into buying a clutch all winter long. I've kaboodled at least…

What a relief that handbags got their groove back starting with 2008. I can finally drool again. I thought I might have to resort to another past time! Click, consider, click, consider... what lovely bag deserves a good home today?? I will say I have been desperately seeking 2 things: a black patent bag and…
