So im in the mood for some practicality today as we look at the new Hermes Jypsiere which is kinda square but also cute looking at the same time. One thing that will jump out at most people is how practical this bag looks and how much stuff your going to get crammed into it on a day to day basis. Still at the same time it does look pretty elegant and stylish and is bound to go with alot of different outfits and looks.
One thing that was a bit surprising to me was the price tag which is over £5000 which just shows how out of touch i seem to be with the higher end of the bag market. Still what you are paying for here is primarily the quality of the handbag and also i suppose the name. With this being said though ive seen a number of really nice (dare i say replica) messenger bags at netaporter and asos recently that may put this bag to shame. I mean sure you’re not going to be able to brag about your Hermes but does anyone still do that now anyway?

So i may be a little late on this one but i wanted to post about this new Fendi spy tote bag that i just spotted for the first time. It was released during the summer but for some reason is only coming to my attention now. Now this bag is very high end at its going to set you back over £1000 in designer outlets but it really is an work of art.
The sequins look really great and i like the way the violet refects in the soft light. One thing i do have to critize about this Fendi bag is that it is quite small and you could almost consider it a clutch its so compact. On the one hand it is easy to carry but you have to keep in mind your not going to be able to carry alot around with it. Its truly an act of style of practicality in this case but this has often been the case with many of todays (and yesterdays) high end designer handbags. Still its a very interesting bag, check out the main site for a closer look.

So i have to admit i have not always been a fan of Stella McCartney, mainly because over the past few seasons her handbags havnt really been up to standard. I can understand this from one perceptive as she has been focusing more on her designer ware but even so. However it looks like she is starting to produce some really interesting designs again mainly in the clutch handbags arena.
So the first thing you or anyone else is going to notice about this clutch is the bright yellow leather. It really makes a bold statement and i suppose it is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. One problem you may have is finding something to match this, however where there is a will there is a way and i have a feeling some designer eveningwear may fit. I have to mention this is also a very rational clutch bag as is only has a very small gold chain for the wrist and not the big DKNY straps that we have seen alot in recent years.
One thing that does go against this bag is the price as its around £350 in most high street stores which i think is alot for such as small bag. Also you have to consider how much use you are going to get out of a clutch handbag like this as its really only going to be used for special occasions. Still i think its a really great return to form for Stella so you might want to check out some of her other bags too!
