A Kim White Handbag 1974 AMC -Brown & Orange Molecular Leather Trim Grommet Bag I discovered these bags while looking at Sustainable Style. Kim White Handbags are the perfect bag: functional, stylish and comfortable, made in the most amazing fabrics known to man. Why are Kim White Handbags so special? Made from vintage automotive fabrics, Kim White uses dead stock never-used textiles intended for use in American automobiles: cars, trucks and vans. She fortuitously unearthed an entire warehouse of automotive fabric, which may be the last existing stock anywhere in the US, and she is the sole owner of these amazing textiles. Each Kim White Handbag is tagged with the year and make of the fabric, so you know exactly what car your bag comes from (i.e.: 1983 Camaro or a 1978 Ford Mustang). Kim White Handbags specializes in automotive fabrics from the 1970’s and 1980’s, when color was de rigueur in the automotive industry. (source)

Tano Handbag retailers in Canada
I’ve noticed that I get a lot of hits for Tano handbags. I thought I would post the Canadian retailers for those that want to know. It would be a good idea to inquire with each store as to their availability. You can also purchase Tano bags online at Musthavebag.com (I got it right this time 😉 ). Stay tuned as I will blog the Spring 2006 line when it becomes available.

There are times when I wish I could knit. This is one of those times. These bring back memories of the Arcade and playing the original Nintendo for hours on end in my basement.

This scarf is the coolest thing ever. I’m jealous of the boy that owns it.

Secret Garden Print Bag by Marc Jacobs Summer Check Bag by Burberry London I usually despise Burberry. Totally Chav crap in my mind. This bag has softened me a bit. It’s just so colourful and fun.
Tano handbag spotting…
I’ve discovered that Artizia is carrying 2 Tano handbag styles. They are damn good looking ones too.
$195.00 CDN – Alchemist Crunch in chocolate brown
$210 – Gerard Cruberdeen in Pea Green/Brown.
I handled the bags a lot while I was in the store and they are amazing. If you are really into the massive handbag, Tano is your company.

Desdemona handbag by etnies I was in Montreal from October 14 – 16. It was a great trip. I stayed at the Hotel St. Paul in old Montreal and it was amazing. I thought the service was excellent and I loved being caterer to. Sigh…memories. Anyways, I wouldn’t be a fashionista if I didn’t go shopping. I power-shopped with my lovely friend and stylist for the trip, Jason. He was great and helped me find some lovely items that I will post about in the coming days. This bag was something that I completely walked by, but Jason’s sharp eyes noticed it. The picture doesn’t show you the lovely lilac lining it has. It also doesn’t really show how big the bag is. It has 3 main compartments and a few little ones all over the place. I also didn’t get the little trinkets that are hanging off the key ring. I’m glad someone got use of it, I would have thrown those tacky things out. They aren’t a Prada Robot trick keychain, that’s for …
i want: Fall 2005 Handbags
I’ve come across some very cool handbags in the last few days.Missoni Velvet Satchel This bag is beautiful. I love everything about this bag. I love the colour scheme and pattern; the unusual shape and the hardware used for the clasp. This luxurious bag is made of black leather and velvet. Oscar de la Renta Embellished Suede Hobo This beauty is made of chocolate suede and has golden hardware. My favourite part of this bag is the engraved coins placed all over the body of the bag. It’s also big and slouchy, I love that. Carlos Falchi Nubuck Tall Hobo Moss green nubuck with braided leather strap and top flap. Be & D Crawford Cruise Bag Here’s another slouchy hobo bag in cognac. I love the riveting on the leather shoulder strap. This bag comes in other colours like Chocolate, Oz Emerald/Lime, Plum/Cognac (next favorite colour) and Washed Apple Green Python. handbags, fashion

Purseket – Organize your handbag A Purseket is an organizer for your handbag. I carry a lot of things in my handbags. It’s always a bitch when it comes to find things like keys, wallet, lip balm…This handy insert however gives more pockets to put all your gear in. This is especially good in the “digital era”, as I often find myself carrying my digital camera, iPod, cell phone and sometimes my Clie. The only thing I don’t like about the Purseket is the colour options. However, I do like the cranberry.

What kind of designer handbag are you?
I was visiting Trent today and saw that he was an LV bag. So I decided to try this test out. Apparently I am Dooney&Burke bag. You can take the test here if you really want to. I was kind of disappointed with this test, mostly because I had never heard of Dooney & Bourke. So I looked it up on the internet only to find out that the spelling that these people from zenhex.com use is wrong. It’s Dooney & Bourke, thank god for google. Anyways I decided to check out their website to find out if I truly am a Dooney & Bourke girl. Signature Giant Sac There is nothing like a giant bag to carry all your crap. I’m not quite sure what colour I would like, but I’m leaning towards the Sand/Red combo. The Giant Sac not big enough? Well they have the extra large version too! Small Bucket This bag is really cute. I would love it in the Marine as pictured or in green. Oh hell, the orange would …
