Kate Spade’s Eat Cake for Breakfast Terry

This handbag looks like a masculine doctor’s bag but is styled with trimmings and hardware (such as the small brass studs in its underside), giving it a flair of sophistication.

The piece also comes in black and a darker cherry brown color. What I like about it is that it’s slightly larger than Louis Vuitton’s Speedy. I also adore the minimalism and simplicity of it.

Blair Waldorf’s Louis Vuitton Les Extraordinaires Monogram Guipure Satchel

I think it’s a good way to splurge on something especially because you can help someone. More so, the bag itself is a good buy. Like many of Gucci handbag’s designs, this is a classic find, made of off-white cotton linen with leather trimmings.

Mother’s Day Gift Suggestion: Gucci’s Limited Ed UNICEF Handbag

And on their official site, I saw some of these designs:

They truly are wonderful pieces with a style that’s very distinct. Ismachseven is a fusion of ideas from the East and West. All the bags have a certain Japanese-Indian or English-French touch, and the marriage of these cultures on the bag designs is just perfect.

The pieces look luxurious and the colors are vivid and out of the ordinary.

I’m gonna be on the look out for Ismachseven even more and dare I wonder which celebrity is going to come out toting one of these bags one day.

From the official site:

Unique design, custom craftsmanship and a spectrum of fabrics, trimmings and styles are the creative cornerstones of IsmachSeven. With a keen eye, trained to find inspiration in the most varied, and often unexpected places, designers Mercedes and Isabella bring refreshing originality to each of their creations.

The exclusivity of the brand is reflected in details such as Japanese zippers, English linings, handles crafted from the finest Italian leathers and a combination of Indian, French and Thai fabrics, to name just a few. One is as inclined to find earrings from the native-American Zuni tribe or parts of Art Deco lamps in one piece, as she is to find hunting batons from the African tribe of the Massai or weaves from nomad tribes from the Himalayas in another.

Each handbag is a unique statement piece that allows a woman to reflect any of the wonderful facets of her personality. But each shares the underlying extraordinary vision and passion, which has quickly come to define the IsmachSeven name.

It’s most popular collection, the Le Pliage line, which was introduced in the early 90′s continue to be in demand among consumers. The Le Pliage is their foldable travel bag line made of vinyl material with leather trimmings. Le Pliage recently came out with more fun and exciting colors.

Longchamp’s Le Pliage is ideal for people who want one durable tote bag where they can dump all of their stuff together. It’s great for use at school, going to the gym or traveling. It’s also very comfortable and functional for people on the go.

The bag is light so that it doesn’t weigh heavily despite how many items you put in there. And since it’s foldable, you can keep it inside your suitcase during travels.

Of late, the bag has become a trend and a fashion statement more than it being a cozy and handy travel companion.
