Bagopedia's Comment: Prada keeps surprising us with its cutting edge designs. Bagopedia is a huge fan of Prada. I always look forward to seeing the designs for the next season. It never disappoints me. I also find that Prada's designs are so fashion-forwarded that other companies are copying its designs years after.

This 2012-13 FW floral tote is the most significant piece of the whole collection. It is an eye-catching piece. I love how they sew white flowers on a classic Prada bag. It just makes winter feel like spring.

Bagopedia's Rating: 3.5 Bags (Out of 5) 
Bagopedia's Comment: It is hard to believe that fall is coming.  It is also hard to believe that Tory Burch is selling this bag as a part of fall/winter collection. To Bagopedia, this is a summer bag. It has a floral print on a white canvas background. 

This bag can be pre-ordred now, but you won't receive it until October. It is a beautiful bag and totally works on Jessica Alba's summer look.

Tiffany & Co. Jitney Tote

Tiffany & Co. Jitney Tote: A Tote With Depth


Price: $495.00
Color: Natural (Shown), Tiffany Blue, Black
Where to Buy: Tiffany Stores, tiffany.com
Who carries it: Jessica Alba,
Bagopedia's Rating: 3.5 Bags (Out of 5)
Bagopedia's Comment: Bagopedia finds most magazine totes are very shallow. They can only put a couple of magazines to carry. This Tiffany & Co. Tote has a magazine tote design hard shell with a beach tote capability. With a great depth, it is much more functional than the regular magazine totes. The depth allows you to put things other than magazine. You can use it as a shopping tote, a weekend tote, a travel tote, or a beach tote.


It comes with 3 colors- natural, Tiffany Blue, or black. Bagopedia thinks the natural is the most summery color. The whole tote in Tiffany Blue is a bit much for me. 


The price tag is also fabulous.

Bagopedia's Comment: If you like the neon colors enough but are shy carrying a neon color bag, then try to add a little neon on your accessories first. If you think the neon colors are just fashionable and will go away, then choose something that won't kill your credit card allowance.


Bagopedia loves how this tote combine a raffia body with neon color leather details. You will look really current this summer and maybe next summer too for $195.00

CHLOE Angie Shoulder Bag

CHLOE Angie Shoulder Bag: A disappointment
Price: $1,995.00
Where to Buy: Neiman Marcus,
Who Carries it: Eliabeth Olsen, Jessica Alba, Rachel Bilson,
Bagopedia's Rating: 1 Bag (Out of 5)
Bagopedia's Comment: Watching Celine gets so much attention, Chloe seems a bit quieter these few years after the hit of the Paddington. Marcie bag is probably the most interesting one after. Chloe has a lot of expectation of this Angie bag and put it one the ad for 2012 SS collection.


The Angie bag is way too busy for my taste. There is zipper after zipper after zipper. The shape of this bag is not very modern. For me, I love a bag that has a large compartment, not many small  ones. I change bags all the time, so I organize my items into small pouches. The smaller compartments just confuse me. The most popular bags now like Birkin, Motorcycle, Luggage totes all have one large compartment. 


Even the shoulder strap can be removed, I am not sure what you need to shoulder strap for if the handles are already designed for shoulder. I know the economy is bad and many companies design bags for multi-purposes. However, more sometimes isn't more. Even the economy is bad, it just makes the customers smarter.

Bagopedia's Rating: 3 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopedia's Comment: Bagopedia hasn't posting much recently because there haven't been bags that catch my eyes. What catches me of this bag is the color. 2012 Spring/Summer is the season that all colors go back to their original shapes- just like those basic colors you knew when you were in the kindergarden. Then you grew up, your life became more and more involved. Colors got more and more complicated- light green, dark green, army green...

Bagopedia loves to see some original colors of this season- green, blue, yellow- all you knew in the kindergarten.

Kate Moss for Longchamp Tote

Kate Moss for Longchamp Tote

Price: On Sale $402.00 (Original $575.00)

Who Carries it: Jessica Alba,

Bagopedia's Rating: 2 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopeida's Comment: I know what you bought last summer

Bagopedia thought it was a Ralph Lauren Bag, then I realized it is a Kate Moss for Longchamp tote. Bagopedia hasn't seen any Kate Moss for Longchamp bags that represent "Kate Moss" styles at all. All bags look ordinary or even boring.

This tote bag might look nice now. Bagopedia is afraid if you put it aside, you will never use it again. You might be able to enjoy it the rest of this summer, but by next year, you will be surprised why you purchased it.

See how Jessica Alba carries it:

Bagopedia's Comment: This bag is too big for the look Jessica Alba is trying to create. The size should be smaller with hard leather case. When you want to get this look, choose the bag looking like a "flight attendant" instead of school hobo.

Jessica Alba + Valentino Rockstud Leather Shoulder Bag

Bag: Valentino Rockstud Leather Shoulder Bag

Price: $2,245.00

Where to Buy: Net-A-Porter,

Who carries it: Jessica Simpson,

Bagopedia's Rating: 2 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopedia's Comment: The design is classic. The color is hot. The leather is smooth. And the stud finish is popular. Only one problem- a big one, the Studs. Valentino's studs are real good studs. They are so heavy and can be used as weapons. The studs make this bag extremely heavy. 2 skinny handles don't seem to be able to support the bag, especially the bag can be extended to a much larger bag (48 CM). Also the handles are so skinny it can be put upside down easily. The studs then will go against your shoulder or below. From a designer's view, it is nice to put studs on the skinny handles, but not fun for real customers.

Bag: Loewe May Bag

Bagopeida's Rating: 3 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopedia's Comment: Loewe, or some people called the Spanish HERMES, is known for its soft leather, beautiful color, and elegant design. The May Bag is inspired by details from Loewe's past 165 years history. This bag is designed for modern women who don't like structured bags and will appreciate its softness. Bagopedia thinks it is odd that the front pocket looks so formal, but the bag looks too casual.

Bagopedia's Comment: When Bagipedia first saw this bag, we were wondering who would carry this bag besides Dita Von Teese, then we saw Jessica Alba. She wears this bag in a right way- totally black with a touch of red (Louboutin) on the bottom of her heels. That is how a stylist gets paid for. If you don't have a stylish, I recommend that you put it back to the shelf after look at it.

Bagopedia's Comment: "One of the most beautiful hobo bags". Italian leather combines jewelry-like shoulder chain. It is fashionable yet classic. 3 chains on each handle design makes it easier to carry. Bagopedia loves the extended chains connect to the long leather fringe. The price is high, but you will find you carry this bag so often that is worth spending the money.
