The 1960′s collection features luxury handbags with a hint of boho chicness. The collection is now up for sale at Shopbop and it looks like they are selling really fast.

House Of Harlow Fall 2011 Collection

There have been lots of designer handbags that have come out styled so perfectly fitted for military inspired wear, in its structure and colors. Below are just some examples:

Halogen® ‘Military’ Leather Satchel

This handbag is featured with cargo flap pockets and belted straps in a classic khaki colored leather. It’s a very functional and compartmentalized bag which can be carried via its double handles or crossed over the body with the straps. I love how perfect this is for everyday use, especially if I get tired of carrying a tote with me.

Available at Nordstrom.

Proenza Schoule PS1 Pouch

PS has several variations and I also like that they have come with this smaller, more compact size. This is made of military leather and as this is the PS1, it has its foldover flap and belted straps, plus brass hardware. This handbag is available at Kirna Zabete.

Nicole Lee Military Purse

Featuring buckle straps and side cinch tassles, this Nicole Lee Military purse takes a different twist to military inspired fashion. This handbag, however, is made of dyed PU material and may change its color over tome. It still looks funky and stylish, as well as fashion forward. You can get this at Buckle.

Michael Kors Satchel Shoulder Leather

Michael Kors does away with subtlety and really comes up with a handbag with the military camouflage. Despite the lack of compartments, this doctor-shaped bag is roomy and spacious inside. This is available at Michael Kors or at Lord & Taylor.

4 Military Inspired Handbags

This is called the Billy Jean Clutch, which is a cross between rocker chic and urban chic. The handbag comes with a fold over design and the flaps are zippered down with a few tassels. It looks totally cool and radical. The style is a stand-out and looks even better with all the choices of prints and colors or it.

This clutch is oversized, thus making it more utilitarian than regular clutches. It also comes with a strap, so that it can be worn as a shoulder bag.

For $220, this handbag is worth the price!

Elly Clay’s textured satchel in bright, almost turquoise blue, is probably my favorite in her collection. This also comes in fuchsia, black and pewter but I really love the blue best. I especially love the size, it’s the kind I need from the bag.

This satchel is designed in glazed calf leather and embossed python. The surface is textured and oh, so gorgeous! Brass hardware complete its style.

Lastly, this is Elly Clay’s Boyfriend Hobo and its the edgiest from this selection. The handbag has an unusual strap, which sets it apart. I’m not so thrilled about the studs but I can live with it. The handbag is made of elephant grain calf leather and it’s really spacious inside.

Elly Clay is designed by Crystal Haylett, who is based in New York. As a new player in the handbag scene, her designs have really become much sought after by celebrities and socialites. The handbags make use of a lot of hardware and fringes, as you have seen and the best way to describe Elly Clay’s style is that is truly fashion forward.

Shop for Elly Clay at their website.

I went to Louis Vuitton online store and didn’t see this Sac Chien on the site (maybe it has been discontinued?) and I just wanted to write about it before it disappears for good. A couple of years ago when I walked into the Louis Vuitton Boutique and saw this Louis Vuitton Monogram Sac Chien and I fell in love with it. This bag is the ultimate dog carrier and this is what all dog lovers should have one. If I remember correctly, back then, the Sac Chien 50 (small) was $1650 but now it costs almost 2 grand. LV has been increasing their prices in the US (because of the value of dollar against the pound, euro, and yen has been weak) You can still find this model on Louis Vuitton online stores (international)

Updated as of July 16, 2009 : they still carrying this bag, you can go to the site and search under “Dog bag 40″ for small or “Dog bag 50″ for large

There’s something about pebbled leather handbags that sends goosebumps to my arms whenever i see them. It’s like you’re freaking out to touch them lol. Well, at least it’ll scare the pickpockets for awhile.

I love the zip pockets that this bag has. You could put a couple of small bills on it. Then when you’re really broke and you remember that you stowed some cash on one of the pockets, surprise! haha, i’m sure alexander wang didn’t originally thought of that purpose for this bag. haha. But this is surely a fun bag, that goes from day to night.
