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

Bagopedia's Comment: 3 things Bagopedia likes about this bag: The petal pink color, the lambskin, and the long handle height. 3 things Bagopedia doesn't like about this bag: The design is too busy (the large stitches on the handle shows masculine, but the folded leather in the front show feminine), the side straps are not necessary, and the price is very high. Overall, Bagopedia prefers a much simpler design.

Bagopedia's Comment: Didn't "Gossip Girl" tell you Proneza Schouler is so hot that can actually burn you? This classic yet edge bag has a beautiful design with fine details in a rich color. Do wear it as Hollywood youth do- wear them on single shoulder, not across the chest. You also gain a evening bag when you remove the strap.

Sofia Vergara + Nancy Gonzalez Large Crocodile Satchel

Bag: Nancy Gonzalez Large Crocodile Satchel

Price: $3,600.00

Where to Buy: Neiman Marcus,

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

Bagopedia's Comment: A beautiful bag doesn't need to be said too much. The good bag will speak for itself just like this Nancy Gonzalez large crocodile satchel. Sofia also made a really good choice- the cream color makes the bag more youthful because exotic leather (especially croc) can sometimes make you look like a grandmother.

Jennifer Garner + HERMES Victoria

Jennifer Garner takes her daughter Violet out for shopping on Tuesday (January 4) in Brentwood, Calif.

Bag: HERMES Victoria Tote

Price: $4,450.00 (35 CM)

Where to Buy: HERMES Boutiques,

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

Bagopedia's Comment: The bag is elegant and safe. However, Boston style totes should only use canvas or harder leather. It is hard to pull the zippers when the leather is too soft. Bagopedia found it is very difficult to open the zipper using one hand (because the other hand is carrying the bag), especially it is a zip-around top.

Nicki Minaj arrives at Miami International Airport to catch a departing flight on Saturday (January 1) in Miami, Fla.

Bag: Louis Vuitton Bellevue GM

Price: $1,090.00

Where to Buy: Louis Vuitton Boutiques, louisvuitton.com

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

Bagopedia's Comment: This is a simple tote with top zipper. You will find it handy to have a zip closure for a tote bag. You can wear it on your shoulder, hand, or below. We are sure this bag will take you farther than you can image- travel, shopping, business, weekend... Bagopedia is quite surprised by the price of this bag. It is totally in Vernis leather (LV Monogram pattern embossed) which is higher-end line with Monogram canvas price. If you are tired of carrying the Monogram canvas line, this is a good choice. There are 3 colours to choose from if red is not working for you.
