The Hermès Kelly wicker bag , the kind  of summer bag that requires  you to put on your summer best on. On the net page fun, edible interpretations of the iconic Kelly bag.

Never-ever shy or demure (and thank god for that), Married to the Mob offers a beach towel that says what’s what.  On the next page, check out the brand’s “Bunny” tote in red, yellow and black. Available for purchase now at the Mob store.

There is nothing like a closer look at the accessories from a runway show. On the next page enjoy a look at a few of Miu Miu’s highly covetable shoes and handbags for this upcoming Autumn (This is in no way at all a call for the end of the warmth, which has just begun to arrive!). The trompe l’oeil effect on the footwear has us fiending big time. More on the flip courtesy of Miu Miu.

Featuring sturdy cotton canvas, theses roomy tote bags by Ika feature an array of colors and patterns perfect for Summer 2011. Available on Etsy, they’re priced around $59, though postage is hefty ’cause the designer is Paris-based.

Perfect bag for Autumn 2011 from Chloe.

If you read interviews with Carine Roitfeld, they inevitably seem to include one comment addressing her distaste for handbags. In part it seems she finds toting around your personal belongings in a sack vulgar (and in a way it is!), but also there are hints she felt forced as the editor of Vogue to promote them in her shoots, no doubt as a “thank you” for the many ad dollars spent adveritising them in her magazine.

Now that she’s left Vogue, it seems her position on bags has begun to soften, in part because she no longer has an office to store all her junk, but perhaps also because they no longer represent what had to have been one of the more odious parts of her job–being forced to make something artful out of items she felt completely uninspired by. Here is her recent, more upbeat on handbags:

“I have discovered how useful it is to carry a book, perfume, agenda,” she laughs, glancing at her capacious black leather Alexander McQueen bag by the table. “It’s a new life.” –Financialtimes, May 2011

And here are a collection of her more angry views on handbags, dating back five years:

“I don’t change my handbag every season. I believe in the Yves Saint Laurent woman who either has her hands in the pockets of her pantsuit or is holding her lover’s hand. She doesn’t need a bag.” –Spiegel, April 2011

Q: What do you always have in your handbag?
Roitfeld: I do not wear bags. BlackBerry in my pocket, spare glasses at work, or cosmetics, or comb. Even makeup has never corrected. –Russian Vogue, December 2009

“Right now I think that fashion in the world becomes a bit boring. There is so much money, and I feel a bit when you go to shows they want to sell so many handbags, and for me, well, I do not like handbags. I do not wear handbags. It is not a nice look, to carry a handbag.” –Nymag, February 2008

“Handbags?  You can wear a completely transparent shirt and show all the breasts, I don’t care. But I prefer to have my hands in my pocket than to have a nice little bag. So I am not good for all these fashions. They have to sell bags, bags, bags, bags, bags, bags. I hate handbags.” –Telegraph, November 2005

In the image above from a recent Cannes event, note Roitfeld carrying the smallest of clutches. One more image of Roitfeld carrying what appears to be another micro purse–though it’s so small it might be a keychain–on the next page.

Luxirare’s newest items include this cage purse adorned with seven genuine mink tails. It also includes two shoulder straps–one long and one short so you can customize depending on your mood. More looks on the next page. Available at Shopluxirare. If you prefer the bags sans mink that option is available, too.

Never again lose your clutch by having it stylishly tied to you wrist. The “Pheonicia” bag  by Phillipe Rocou is available at L’effrontee. Definitely a luv!

Using undyed leather contrasted with a silk screen neon stripe,  Clare Vivier’s “Pochette” is a flawless mini clutch. Dimensions are 6.5″ x 5″.  Spotted on Bleachblack, available here.

On the next page a peek at the ambiance and the shoes that caught our eye.
