Mulberrys Spring 2011 bags are amazing, and the “Tillie” bag is no exception! It’s made from supple calf leather and embossed with snake print, and looks more like a modern day satchel. I for one wouldn’t mind going to college with this in tow, but I think I’d leave the heavy books in my arms rather than weigh down this beauty! ZJK.

Something about Louboutin and leopard print that is like a soul-mate-level match. The celebs (KimK, natch–she flashed hers at a Gucci FNO event!) have been working the clutch version of the “Kathena” hard lately, which makes sense for the red carpet, but there is something so undeniably extra about this satchel. I’ve got visions of the HS version of lunch with the ladies with this bag, some ripped up jeans, expensive lingerie and a thick gold chain or two…..heavenly. Available in Lou-B stores now.

Much-buzzed about, emerging designer Mandy Coon is getting lots of energy for her “Ginny Bunny Bag,” which just arrived at Opening Ceremony and has sold out already elsewhere. The velvet is pictured here but it’s also available in leather (but c’mon, really, it has to be the velvet!). More images after the flip.

From the ultimate in classy, Trussardi tweeted a peak at its offering for Fashion Night Out, which, I know it’s supposed to be an exciting, great event for the industry, but I’m finding the blur of activities and offerings sort of overwhelming!

We tend to feature a lot of our repeat favorites when we visit Magic, but it’s always super-fun to stumble upon a previous unseen up-and-comer. The L.A.-based Ventidue label, whose booth was located at Project, had a lot of buzz in part because of the brand’s very on-trend leopard-print, pony hair, studded clutches…replete with fox-fur tails (!!), but also because of its highly stylish designers, Italian sisters Elena and Barbara Rosin, who launched the line two years ago. According to Elena, their design ideas begin while shopping the fine Italian leathers the bags are made of, but the finishing touches and details are inspired by L.A. street style. Don’t just love…..adore! More on the flip, as modeled by Elena.

Loyal readers know that when we visit Magic, we always make a stop by the Tokidoki booth to chat with head designer Simone and see what’s up. One new thing is the brand’s switch from the Pool section of Magic to Slate, where a lot of streetwear brands are located. Simone and his team were definitely feeling good at this show, riding high from the very successful launch of the Tokidoki makeup line launch at Sephora (updates on that in an upcoming post). The other big news is the relaunch of the bag line, which gave Simone an opportunity to work with a wider variety of details and materials, which he was super happy about. This collection is called “Bite Me” and as you can see from the image it has a vampire theme. Super fun! See many more bags on the next page.

The Alexander Wang accessories phenomenon is alive and well as this young label has been able to capture the elements of  the most wanted in fashion that is usually seen in brands with a much longer history. If we go down the history of “it” bags on a global scale, I cannot think of one  independent high end accessories  label  that has achieved such rapid commercial appeal as Wang.  The closest I can come to would be Kate Spade’s nylon totes  in the 90s ?

Calleen Cordero  has been designing her namesake collection of vegetable tanned leather accessories for over a decade. Hand-molded  leather  soles made in California, the latest season sees the continuation of sleek studding  with an earthy bohemian feel. Some of the components: alder wood (SFR Sustainable Forest), birch plywood (recycled wood),solid brass, nickel, vegetable dye, Italian leathers, semi precious stones and yellow glue (90% non toxic and 98% decomposable). Enjoy a  preview  at Calleen Cordero’s 2011 collection on the next page.

Trust Fun , a creative trio based in Australia , creates  arresting  limited edition items  like these Islander Sacks  that,  really you  just want to hang on a wall and stare at.  There is something cheerful about them I find simply  irresistible …View more on the flip.

Colette has added a bunch of new items from the very mean and vicious Fleet Ilya. This saddle clutch stands out. Bold and unapologetic, you know the women who walks into the room with clutch means serious, grown-woman business.
