PRADA 2012 S/S Pyramid Frame Bag: 60's looks are hot

Price: $2,995.00

Where to Buy: Neiman Marcus,

Who Carries it: January Jones,

Bagopedia's Rating: 4 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopedia's Comment: As Mad Man Season 5 kicked off, the 60's looks are hotter than ever. Prada 2012 S/S collection features car details from the 60's and flames with bright colors. This Pyramid frame bag has a body of modern and a soul of the 60's. If zippers represent the freedom of women in the 80's, the frame would represent the 60's looks. As a woman of 2012, you can be both.

Bottega Veneta Duo Intrecciato Leather Bag


Bottega Veneta Duo Intrecciato Leather Shoulder Bag: A Tote-lly handbag

Price: $2,480.00

Where to Buy: Net-A-Porter,

Bagopedia's Rating: 4 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopedia's Comment: Bagopedia loves totes. However sometimes totes can be a pain too. Bagopedia always can't find my cellphone inside my totes. It seems to me as soon as you put something inside your tote, they sink on the bottom of the ocean. Especially the linings are dark or in a dark place, then you try to find your cellphone or coin purses.

This tote effortlessly divides into two compartments. One side can be used for money, keys, papers and the other side can be used for little things. The color is 2012 S/S color, but Bagopedia thinks it is so neutral that can easily be used in the winters too. The bag doubtlessly tells you it is a BV bag that you spend too money on your bags. However, the price isn't so shocking for a BV bag. The handles can be pulled longer (Just like CHANEL bags) or shorter to carry as a shoulder bag or messenger. It is designed as a handbags with compartments as well as a tote design- open top for easy access to your stuff. Antique look hardware and light color suede lining are good to have.

Tory Burch Large Straw Tote 2012 SS: Choose the right tote

Price: $295.00

Where to Buy: Tory Burch Stores, Saks Fifth Avenue,

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

Bagopedia's Comment: As you might be aware, the repeated small patterns are getting popular. You will be seeing a lot of those patterns coming out. The peak will be this fall and winter.

Unlike last fall/winter, the bags this spring/summer are really exciting. The patterns, the materials, the colors... just start to feel so light and airy.

This tote is something I will definitely think about. It is on the right track. I am not eager to purchase it because it is still early for this season. I know more and more like this will come out later this season.

Bottega Veneta Clutch: A Classic Clutch For "Little-Girl-At-Heart"

Price: $2,320.00

Where to Buy: bottegaveneta.com

Who Carries it: Michelle Williams,

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

Bagopedia's Comment: Bagopedia watches the red carpet and skips the awards. I usually take my computer with me while the awards are given. That is the best time for me starting writing thoughts on the red carpet.

I like to watch who carries what. Last night my eye stopped at Michelle Williams' BV clutch in pink crocodile. Red and pink go together so much this spring. I love the way Michelle carries the crocodile version of this clutch. She always looks like a shy and sweet little girl. Even though I have many Bottega clutches, I still want to get this one in pink.

LANVIN Diamond-Print Canvas Tote: Bagopedia's Best Friend


Price: $850.00

Where to Buy: Net-A-Porter,

Bagopedia's Rating: 3.5 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopeida's Comment: Bagopeida decided to get this bag. Even though this bag has been on the market for a while, I haven't been able to forget about it. Some readers might find it funny that I am blogging a bag that is not complete new in the stores. Bagopedia thinks every bag/person deserves a second chance.

Some online stores keep getting new bags. This bag starts to get on the bottom of some website. I know eventually it will go on sale. Even the new bags are coming out, I can't stop thinking about it occasionally.

The price is high, but it has a good name and is an unique piece that is worth collecting.

Chloe Marcie Round Crossbody: Color-licious

Price: $665.00

Where to Buy: Saks Fifth Avenue,

Bagopedia's Rating: 4 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopeidia's Comment: Bagopeida loves totes. I never learned how to carry a tiny bag except clutches. However, I need a bag that I can go out for dinners and parties on spring and summer nights without carrying my totes or clutches. I think totes are too casual and clutches are too formal. I really don't like to carry clutches because I forgot them all the time!

I immediately fell for this Chloe bag because its color. It reminds of early spring time when crocuses start to come out of the grass. The bag is super tiny that is not much bigger than my palm. It makes me carry the only things I need for dinners- changes, cards, phone, keys, and lipsticks. Everything fits well inside the bag just like gloves. The price tag is also acceptable for a Chloe bag.

GUCCI 1970 Medium Shoulder Bag: Back to Kindergarden

Price: $2,190.00

Where to Buy: GUCCI Stores,

Who Carries it: Jessica Alba,

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.

Salvatore Ferragamo 2012 SS Tote: A Happy Start

Price: $1,950.00

Where to Buy: Saks Fifth Avenue,

Who Carries it: Angelina Jolie, Eva Mendes, Nicole Kidman,

Bagopedia's Rating: 4 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopedia's Comment: Happy New Year! Bagopeida is happy to come back blogging after a short break.

The very first bag comes to my attention this year is this Ferragamo 2012 SS tote which is, as you see, already spotted on many celebrities. It has a very simple design with some elegant executions to make it a less tote-like look. The soft Ferragamo Vermont leather makes the bag super creamy, The curve top makes more room for your arms as well as making the bag more interesting. Overall, it looks like a better finish of the Alexander Wang's Emile tote.

See how Nicole Kidman, Eva Mendes, and Angelina Jolie carry this tote:
