I saw the a few select pieces at Holt’s Bloor Street on the weekend. They are pretty nice bags. They have a lot more structure to them than normal LeSportsac bags. I’m really in love with the large camera bag in grey quilt.

They didn’t have my favourite bag of the collection though.

I got a look book on my weekend trip to the friendly neighbourhood Prada store. I love the illustrations of James Jean that is all over the collection. It turns out there is a whole line of accessories too. My trusty scanner and I got to work. Note these are large images for your enjoyment. Click the thumbnails.

Nathalie Atkinson from the National Post wrote and article on James Jean called Pure Jeanius. Another great article with a lot of images (many you have seen on I want - I got) is found at the comics212 site in a post called: PRADA IS JAMES JEAN: Comic artist covers spring collection.

This is the It bag of the season, even with all the calls about the end of it bags. NyMag has a post about getting your hands on the exclusive bag.

Lanvin - Large metallic bag

I’m obsessed with this beautiful purple bag by Lanvin. They have it at Holt’s and I go in to drool over it occasionally. It’s more incredible in person.

Purple large metallic bag with silver trims on the corners and the main opening. Chain link handles sit on either side. A popper fastening sits on the main opening. A zip pocket sits on the lining.

Some of the new Stella McCartney for LeSportsac bags are nice. You all know I love the prints.

This is my favourite bag and print. It’s a big bag too. I love big bags

The collection is available for Pre-Order only online at the LeSportSac website. You will not see these in the stores apparently.

EDIT: I’m wrong, you can pick up the collection at Holt Renfrew. Thank you LouLou maybe I won’t let my subscription expire now.

I’ve always thought LeSportsac was a little too expensive for a nylon bag; it has the Prada syndrome. That being said, I did by a Tokidoki messenger bag by Le Sportsac because it was damn cute. The prints are something this company does damn well.

Mirjana Scepanovic handbags

If I went to the Toronto Fashion Incubator’s Press Breakfast like I was suppose to I would have seen this stuff in person. I love to see more local handbag designers getting out there.

Her jewelry is pretty cool too, very Marni-ish

A Stupid Bag

A latecomer to the to the Anya Hindmarch “I’m Not A Plastic Bag” parodies, I still like these bags. My favourite is “I’m just a f#*king bag”, which is sold out, of course. Others include “I’m a cheap shit bag”, “I’m a very cheap bag” and “I’m just a stupid bag”.

My favourite Anya Hindmarch parody still is the I’m not a smug twat bag.

Marni always does great accessories; Spring 2008 in Milan is no different.

Oh, I liked the clothes too.
