So you know we love a great handbag and a great steal, right?  Here’s a great new tip for the like-minded; check out www.GomattaGirls.com for their upcoming handbag sale.  They will feature a number of styles over the course of a week at rock bottom prices.  What’s a gomatta, you ask? It’s slang for a mobster girlfriend or mistress; no self-respecting wiseguy is without one.  So we have a pretty good idea of how they get their discounts to be so deep.  Their merchandise is discounted around 70-90%, and since these bags retail in places like Barney’s New York starting at $400, that’s some serious savings!

Don’t be confused–they sell only one style a day, and the next day it’s something new.  So if you like what you see, snap it up before somebody else does.  Supplies are limited, and as the Gomatta Girls say, once it’s gone, it’s gone for good!  If you go ahead and subscribe, you’ll get notified when the new merchandise goes up.

I often find myself drooling over the newest designer luxury handbags! Loving the style, texture and luxury that each unique piece displays. But I also catch myself wandering…if I had the money…would I spend it on this?? Sometimes the answer is yes, because I love it that much, yes I know very materialistic of me! But sometimes there is a big no, no no. This extravagent handbag is not worth it to me. What do you think??  Urban Satchel Louis Vuitton Bag

Most Expensive Designer Bags Handbags: Urban Satchel Louis Vuitton Picture

Extravagant Price: $150,000

This Urban Satchel Louis Vuitton Bag exhibits a different taste of fashion. Incorporated with what designers call “urban charms,” the bag is crafted with all sorts of urban rubbish you can find from shrimp tails, band aid, cigarette packets, tea bags to gums and used water bottle.

Though it has been described as “Fugly” and was declared one of the ugliest bags, this one-of-a-kind luxury is a hit to the rich and famous teenagers. It has been said that the Olsen twins signed a multi-billion dollar deal to advertise this expensive and totally outrageous bag and are fighting over who gets to purchase it. Other rumors are that Anna Wintour and Victoria are locked in a nasty bidding war to get it.

 The newlyweds are out and about.. and while their recent wedding and pregnancy has been most talked about, I’m going to talk about her handbag(of course)! I love that it’s black; she can wear it with multiple outfits, multiple functions and still make it look good. I’m not for sure what this exact bag is that Ashley is carrying around Hollywood, but if you like her style, here are a few that are similar to it:

Designer Blog: The Little Things

In life I appreciate the little things, those that often go unnoticed.  So it only makes sense that I do the same in my design.  Why must a bag be loud in order to be praised…I say that it doesn’t need to be.  Quiet statements can attract equal attention and further admiration. 

Perhaps bags are like women?  Some women quickly grab attention by parading their extroverted personality across a room, turning heads from every direction.  While others are more delicate and quielty confident?  These are the women, whom I have grown to know make the best life-long friends and partners

While the latest ‘it’ bag, covered in bold hardware may send you drooling for weeks on end, it will also end up at the bottom of your closet in years to come, perhaps even months.  You may even find yourself asking why you ever wore such a thing

and the bag in your hand?  Well, its your best friend….and your life-long partner.  You tote it around everywhere you go and it never fails to dissappoint you.  It is as loyal to you as you are to it and you realize….the little things in life - the simple things - are also the things that stay with you forever.
