Burnished Leather Hobo from DKNY

So I’ve been wondering lately what the deal is with my obsession for DKNY handbags and just where it all started at. I have to question it as DKNY are less than prolific when it comes to bringing out new bags. As an example I just visited their official site and found 3 bags for sale which I found quite funny if a little astounding. I suppose there’s also a case for doing just a few bags really well rather than 100s of bags that hoping that there is something for everyone, which is better?

With all this in mind I thought I would show you guys this cute Hobo that I found on the site which both looks a little strange but also very intriguing. It does look quite small for a HOBO despite the name but it could be the idea bag to bridge the gap between clutch and shoulder bag which is always a good market to be in.

The leather looks really great and I’ve been a fan of the Burnished effect for a while as it just stands out so much more than your average treated leather bag. I know some won’t really like the shape as it seems a bit like an American football, however with DKNY you can almost always be sure you are buying quality. I suppose that also raises the question if you are buying a designer handbag from a big brand name like this are you always guaranteed a quality long lasting product?

Im not too sure about the gold chains on the front of the bag as they do seem just a little out of place here but again that’s a question of personal taste. The colour also is a little boring but that’s the price you pay for a bag that’s going to go with so many different outfits. The price is around £245 on the official site but this isn’t going to include any import tax so you may have to filter that in, any of you guys know what this costs on the high street here? Until next time…

New Kate Moss handbags at Longchamp

kate-moss-longchamp

So Kate Moss was spotted earlier in the week at Selfridges to promote her new range of bags at Longchamp. Ive always been sceptical about how much input these “Celebrity designers” have in the actual design of the handbag. I mean sure they do know alot about fashion but being able to pick great clothes for yourself and designing your own range are very different animals.

Still even with that being said Kate is probably still the biggest supermodel in the world and she can sell alot of clothes/handbags. Anyone remember the launch of her range at topshop? The entire oxford street mile was packed with fans and paparazzi, i don’t know to many other models or even celebs than can generate that kind of hype.  Still im sure her stuff is worth a look, check out the official  site at http://www.longchamp.com/gb/home-10143.html
