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.

Two heavy hitters, designer Alex Wang and retailer Opening Ceremony have come together on a tote bag, which features Alex’s signature bottom-stud detail. For those of you who are dying for an Alex statement piece, but can’t lay out the multiple hundreds, this tote is $125 and offered with either silver or gold studs.

Cotton totes aint nothing new, but I love how Es N Yaa update the look with Ghanian fabrics, which, according to co-designer Esther, have limited production runs. In other words, once the fabric is exhausted, that’s it, nada mas! So the chances of spotting another woman sporting a bag just like yours (which, you know I love LV all day, but how many LV Speedy bags did you spot today?) is very, very small.

I got my "I Heart-Shaped Doorknocker Earring NY" tote bag this week from Julie at Bubblegum Ponys and I just wanted to say I love it. Look how cute it is:

And you don’t have to sit there and be jealous of me, you can go buy one at BubblegumPonys shop.  There are a bunch of different colors and it’s only $20 or two for $30. Considering how flairful it is that is a total bargain!

I spotted this bag as I was headed out of the Pool section of Magic, and I knew I had to grab it for the Hello Kitty fans in our readership. Ms. Kitty is still all about the cuteness, but it’s a toned-down, more mature and earth-conscious sort of cute. It’s a startling viewpoint coming from the Queen of Carefree, but I guess even pussy cats have their reflective moments.

^^I’m posting this from my seat in the airplane. The vendor told me where you can purchase this, but it’s stowed away in a bag somewhere and I don’t feel like digging for it. Sorry!

Jeremy Scott is definitely one of the enfant terrible in the fashion industry and stretches boundaries. His wild designs and especially all-over prints make sure that you get the deserved attention.

Colette has now a new canvas tote bag by the designer in their e-shop. It is black and features his already famous puddle design, that also came a couple of months ago on a Longchamp collaboration bag. It goes for 290 Euros and is available now.

We have reported before about the Takashi Murakami exhibition at the Moma in Los Angeles, that is still going on until February 2008. For the occasion Louis Vuitton opened a temporary pop-up store in the museum and is selling a few items, only available at that store. The most interesting items are the coin case and the shopping bag, both coming in the classic Monogram design and with special Murakami artwork.

In case you do not have the chance to pass by the museum until February, then you can now also purchase the items at Cliff Edge.
