Kate Bosworth + Vanessa Bruno Cabas



Kate Bosworth gets in some shopping at the Opening Ceremony boutique on Thursday (March 3) in West Hollywood, Calif.

Bag: Vanessa Bruno Cabas

Price: Upon Request (Around $700 USD)

Where to Buy: Vanessa Bruno Boutique LA,

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

Bagopedia's Comment: Vanessa Bruno is not very well known in the U. S. yet quite famous in Europe and Asia. The only boutique in the U. S. is in L. A. where she gains many young Hollywood stars. This bag reminds Bagopedia of Celine's discontinued Boogie bags. The size is right. It looks casual yet classic. Bagopedia loves the matte leather finish that gives the bag a understatedly finish.

Katie Holmes + Max Mara Margaux


Still situated north of the border as the family patriarch Tom Cruise tends to work duties,Katie Holmes ventured out shopping with Suri in Vancouver on Tuesday (March 1).

Bag: Max Mara Margaux Ostrich
Price: $1,065.00
Where to Buy: Max Mara Boutiques,
Bagopedia's Rating: 2 Bags (Out of 5)
Bagopedia's Comment: Max Mara launched this bag in fall/winter 2010. It was designed for modern urban women who carry a lot during the day. The size was designed to fit a Max Mara coat. Katie carries the ostrich version which just came out this spring that will cost more. The bag is elegant but the design and color with gold zippers seem a bit tired.

Bagopeia's Comment: Bagopeida has been spotting Natalie Portman carrying this bag a lot recently. Natalie even chose to carry this bag at the first public outing after wining the Oscar. Bagopedia is not sure is she really likes this bag or she needs to carry it as a Dior spokesman. Bagopedia refuses to purchase any Dior products personally due to John Galliano's racist comments.

Bagopedia's Comment: Get a Kelly Style Bag for 1/3 of the price! Cartier and Tiffany's both have been working on their handbag collections by introducing them to the market at touch low prices. This beautiful bag has Cartier name and quality. It is elegant and classic. Bagopedia is sure that the prices can't always stay at this price ranges. Get them before Cartier raises the prices.

Michelle Pheiffer + Marc by Marc Jacobs Natasha Crossbody



Kicking off another work day, Michelle Pfeiffer was spotted on the set of “New Year’s Eve” this morning (February 23).


Bag: MARC BY MARC JACOBS Totally Turnlock Natasha Leather Crossbody Bag

Price: $348
Where to Buy: Bloomingdales,
Bagopedia's Rating: 1 Bag (Out of 5)
Bagopedia's Comment: This bag makes beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer a tourist from the South. The color looks like a rotten pumpkin. The shape is too casual for Michelle's age. Nowadays product placement is comment on the movies, but be careful who you put your products on. We all know Marc by Marc Jacobs is a lower label Marc Jacobs creates. The products are created for young girls, not for a movie star like Michelle.

This beautiful clutch has a beautiful permanent design and goes with everything- black dress, white long skirts, or colorful prints. Price is a concern of course, but who can resist the huge H logo in the front?

Debra Messing + Michael Kors Gia



Debra Messing hit the Michael Kors After Party on Wednesday (February 16) at Bemelmans Bar inside NYC’s Carlyle Hotel.

Bag: Michale Kors Gia Crocodile-Embossed Satchel
Price: $695.00
Where to Buy: michalekors.com,
Bagopedia's Rating: 3 Bags (Out of 5)
Bagopedia's Comment: This is how Bagopedia looks at Michael Kors- the look will stay, the workmanship goes. We love the looks of MK bags. They are elegant and classic. The details and the workmanship are not so great. Yet, they are affordable. If you are looking for a classic style but find it costly to keep the look up, get MK bags. They will keep you elegant for a while until the workmanship falls apart.

Bar Refaeli + Jimmy Choo Rosalie Grainy



Bar Refaeli steps out on Wednesday (February 16) for a shopping trip at Nordstrom in Los Angeles.

Bag: Jimmy Choo Rosalie Grainy Calf Medium Top Handle Bag
Price: $1,495.00
Where to Buy: Saks Fifth Avenue, jimmychoo.com
Who Carries it: Kylie Minogue, Whitney Port,
Bagopedia's Rating: 1 Bag (Out of 5)
Bagopedia's Comment: Sorry folks. This bag is just not working for Bagopedia. Not only does the design look like a shadow of other bags, but the inside is cheaply made. It is disappointed that Jimmy Choo would make a bag like this- see the lining photo. It looks like some a copy from Canal Street, not a 2011 Jimmy Choo bag purchased from Saks. Not to mention the color- a tanned leather bag sitting in Filene's Basement store for years.

Eva Longoria + Coach Kristin Collection


Gearing up for an outgoing flight, Eva Longoria was spotted at LAX International Airport earlier today (February 15).

Bag: Coach Kristin Collection Elevated Leather Sage round satchel
Price: $698.00
Where to Buy: Coach Stores, coach.com
Bagopedia's Rating: 5 Bags (Out of 5)
Bagopedia's Comment: Coach's new collection- Kristin, is inspired by a vintage handbag. The entire collection is meant to be feminine with soft lines. Bagopedia loves the one Eva chooses. The design is elegant and permanent . Bagopedia loves the soft tan leather. The price tag is really affordable. This bag looks more like a Loewe or Chloe Bag with 1/3 of the price. Bagopedia finds it hard not to give the bag the price rating- 5 Bags!

Bagopedia's Comment: Spring 2011 is all about bright colors. Bagopedia also loves the patent lather that gives the bag a bright and casual finish. The size is very good if you like to carry a big bag but are tired of the hand-carry ones. Carry it the way a supermodel does! This bag looks amazing!

Vera Wang + HERMES Jypsiere


Fashion Designer Vera Wang was spotted during New York Fashion Week.

Bag: HERMES Jypsiere
Price: $7,750.00 for Medium, $6,550.00 for Small,
Where to Buy: Hermes Boutiques, hermes.com,
Who Carries it: Katie Holmes, Elle MacPherson,
Bagopedia's Rating: 2 Bags (Out of 5)
Bagopedia's Comment: Designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier, this popular bag some people call "Birkin on Shoulder" has a more complete look than the Hermes Evelyne bags- leather strap instead of canvas, front flap and buckle, more organized inside... Bagopedia thinks the front flap is very annoying and will end up hidden inside the bag anyway. Bagopedia also doesn't think it is worth 3 times more than an Evelyne since Evelyne is not a cheap bag to start with.
