By Bag Snob Kelly PEPE LE PEW Do you smell something?  Oh right, it's Halloween!  And that's when the crazies come out to play.  And really the only time the skunk, otherwise known as the Curella de Ville look, would be cool and fun.  FENDI SKUNK FUR PEEKABOO ROLL BAG at Saks Fifth Avenue for $1970.

By Bag Snob Kelly How does Givenchy keep doing this? Design a bag that is so simple yet utterly amazing!! OK, forget everything I said about any other one off bags, if you are looking for just one all around great piece for the season or for the year, this is it! The sides unzip to add room in the gusset but this is...

By Bag Snob Tina Derek Lam's New Irina bag is a chic retro throw back look from the 70s but has a modern feel with its long skinny chain and whimsical tassels.  Jessica Alba pairs the bag with skinny jeans and flats by... Derek Lam Irina Chain Handle Bag also at Barneys.

By Bag Snob Kelly It is true Lanvin has lost its luster but there are still a couple of bags that are worthy of my desire, like this Happy Quilted Clutch. Notice I used desire instead of "lust", this just isn't one of those bags that begs for my attention. But if you need a good clutch, this does fit the bill. The tren...

By Bag Snob Kelly Just saw this at Barneys yesterday and I love it so much more than last season's Eclipse. Just like the new Sacca, the strap is leather woven chain, so you get the chain look but with the leather to add grip on the shoulder. Also, the textured leather is so much better than patent for a hobo, which...

By Bag Snob Tina Barneys is now 40% off + 25% off. It's not free but pretty damn close. I'll be heading to the store later but you can get your sale fix online from home. Check out all the fabulous bags on sale... Barneys is now 40% off + 25% off. It's not free but pretty damn close. I'll be heading to the store later but you c...

By Bag Snob Kelly I have to say something about this tote. I love Valextra, all their bags are exquisite. You pay for the superior construction and leather. But this is a canvas tote for $1060!! WTF?? I love the white with bright turquoise trim, absolutely perfect for the summer. But how can you possibly justify...

By Bag Snob Kelly I saw this Burberry bag and was like, "Oh good, Burberry is making cuter bags" and then I realized why I like it so much. It reminds me of the Proenza Schouler PS1. But now that I see them side by side, it is obvious who has got "it" and who doesn't. Seeing both together, I would never get the Burberry...

By Bag Snob Tina Barneys New York has the best bag collection for sale right now!  Shop for Jil Sander knotted bag, Givenchy nightingale and buttery soft Henry Cuir leather tote-- all at 40% off! I also love Barneys' private label bags, reasonably...

By Bag Snob Kelly The perfect color for the season and the price is right for an exotic. Need I say more? Everyone is looking for a white clutch for the summer but who wants to plunk down a grand or more for something you need a few times over the course of 3 months? But this very lovely clutch, simple with dark wood...

By Bag Snob Tina I love Valextra bags, they are made impeccably well and are so simple chic-- my purple Boston bag has been around the world squished in a suitcase and I never worry because I know it won't fall apart. I'd love to have this shopper for traveling, it fits magazines and a lap top perfectly.

By Bag Snob Tina Is there another brand cooler than Balenciaga? (Balmain is close behind but Christopher Decarnin has yet to prove he's worthy of the outrageous prices and that he's more than a one season wonder!). The Brilliant Pouchette Bague Black Lizard showcases everything I love about Balenciaga...

By Bag Snob Tina Elsa clutch also available in Oatmeal python at Barneys New York here. Just eighteen months after the opening of New York City's iconic New Museum, the architects of SANAA have returned with a surprising second act, designing Derek Lam's flagship boutique in Lower SoHo (its first stand a...

By Bag Snob Kelly I didn't think anything of this bag at first when I saw it in a picture but when I carried it around at Barneys, I was suddenly in love. There are many details that is overlooked in the picture, like the side pocket and the fact that it is a drawstring looking bag but actually does not require you t...

By Bag Snob Tina I am quite concerned-- with news of Prada losing $50 million a day you'd think everyone else would be scrambling to produce bags that people will actually want to buy and use (not to mention afford!).  At Barneys New York.  What do you think?  Snob or Slob?

By Bag Snob Kelly I am envisioning a girl, maybe me, wearing a summer shift dress in sandals, flats, skipping down the street with a giant smile. It's like a typical ad for anything but none of it works if she has a shoulder bag or giant tote, she needs this Jil Sander top handle tote that is small and white white. I...

By Bag Snob Kelly This is such a great bag for bag lovers of all ages and most budgets. The hobo is no longer a trend but a staple and must but recent renditions have more shape and details so it is not just a giant sack. This one especially, has all the trimmings you crave, the outside pockets are not only a time save...

By Bag Snob Kelly I am obsessing over that Jimmy Choo lace clutch but it is just way way too expensive. If you like the idea and can live without the studs (probably has a longer shelf life this way) here is a really good option for like 1/4 of the price. This Prada lace print wristlet has some advantages over the Ji...

By Bag Snob Tina Basic black is not as boring as you think. At least not in the hands of Jil Sander designer Raf Simons. We all need an essential daily black bag (especially now that everyone's bag budget seems to have been... Basic black is not as boring as you think. At least not in the hands of Jil Sander designer Ra...

By Bag Snob Kelly Not to sound like a total teenager but OH MY GOD, this is soooo HOT! Rock goddess chic with total sophistication! Givenchy is on FIRE, I can forgive the stupid camera case if they have bags like this to counterbalance the misstep, I mean we have all made worst mistakes than that. Like making my...

By Bag Snob Kelly This may not the be the most stylish bag ever but for a messenger, I say it is damn good. I swear, it looks way better in person and without the drawstring totally pulled shut. The shoulder strap is 24" long which is super long so even on a tall person, it hangs down below the hip. I hate the cross body...

By Bag Snob Tina One of the hottest designers of the moment in Hollywood is undoubtedly Derek Lam.  His latest arm candy, the Romina sac and the Catia, have been seen on A-lister Gwyneth Paltrow and young starlet Rachel Bilson and is getting lots of paparazzi attention!  We all need a big tote in our busy liv...

By Bag Snob Kelly I love Givenchy but even if you are a bank robber or if you just found a bag of money, this would still be a bad buy. This camera case encased in glass crystals is cute and kind of cool, it would be really fab if it were $200 (but as a camera case would still be steep). It is 5" x 8" which is too big for your...

By Bag Snob Tina Oh Lanvin, how do I love thee... even when thy chains would break and thy bags would sag I knew one day thy love of ribbons and chains will function in harmony. Seriously, Lanvin has had a long and rough road with its bags but this just might be the season to believe again. Alber Elbaz is a genius when i...

By Bag Snob® Tina Valextra prices are very reasonable considering the craftsmanship of the bags, they are not called Hermes of Italy for nothing! If you get the chance to see them in person, turn them inside out and you will see what I mean, perfection! Boston bag in medium - $2,380 and Punchline tote $1,720...

By Bag Snob® Tina Jil Sander also offers up useful and stylish totes in multi colors and leathers. I love Jil Sander, you can never tell what season her bags are from because they are so simple and timeless. Some might say boring but hey, a boring tote is always useful! (Jump for more!)

By Bag Snob® Kelly I saw this at Barneys and fell in love so I immediately grabbed it to find out the designer and to my surprise it was a Barneys Private Label. Actually, I shouldn't be so surprised, Barneys' fashion director Julie Gilhart is heavily involved in the design and development of the line and we all...

What can I say? I was starstruck and giddy to meet the man... Christian Louboutin with Bag Snob Kelly and her signed City Girl...
