Jason or Alex?

Being a really lazy woman this summer wearing casual clothes and running between my house and my pool, Bagopedia decides to go for a little dressy and fancy this coming fall and winter. I really like the look of small hard-shelled leather shoulder bag. They go well with skirt suit types. They remind me of the flight attendant look of the 60's. I filtered all small shoulder bags and finalized 2 bags- Alex and Jason. Both have hard shells with smooth leather and great details. The prices are almost the same as well.

So... Do I go for the bag from a young talented American designer who is famous for his "Lady-like"look or a British legend who was famous for his "cutting-edge" look?

Bagopedia's Comment: People are dressing too casually. Women don't carry "purses" anymore. Women carry "handbags" now-a-days. Carrying purses becomes a formal activity. However, Fashion comes and goes. Femininity is coming back. The frame bags are getting popular lately. Designer houses like Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Lanvin are making frame bags.

Bagopedia likes this bag that has a frame opening with some modern elements- the hardware is silver color instead of gold, the owl logo, and the chain. It has a classic look but a modern touch. It goes well with your little black dress or whenever you need to be a little dressy.

Bagopedia is Back!

Bagopedia spent a week in New York reviewing bags for this coming fall and winter. That is the only reason why I haven't been updating this blog for a week. Bagopedia saw about 200 bags. There are some that I find interesting (Top left clockwise):

Reed Krakoff Boxer Snakeskin and Leather-Detailed Canvas Tote$950.00

YSL Muse Two Oversized Leather Tote: $2,295.00

Louboutin Sweet Charity Studded Leather Bag: $1,395.00

Jason Wu Miss Wu Medium Two-Tone Leather Tote: $1,995.00

Jimmy Choo Gaia Leather Tote: $1,495.00

Bottega Veneta Frayed Intrecciato Leather Bag: $2,280.00

After seeing them in real helps me writing reviews. I have taken photos, taken notes, touched and opened them, so I have a good sense of how the new coming bags look like, smell like, and feel like.
