The Elliott Lucca brand's work with leather is usually innovative or at least interesting and usually gorgeous. And this mid-sized clutch slash strap bag is on sale for roughly $106.

With its double-diamond-design in a quilted stitch, in lavender, chocolate, olive and black, the bag is 13" x 6" with two removable straps for different wearing lengths.
Isn't that ... 3 bags in one for one modest price? In these times, that's priceless!
Sure, there are bigger and ultra gorgeous, but more expensive, bags in the Catina collection, too. Check it out.
There are some bags that just mustn't be shown the normal web page size.
This Marc Jacobs Snakeskin-stamped purse is one.

Marc Jacobs Collection Cecilia Embossed Snakeskin Satchel
Oh, my! This color! I had just started preparation for a "what trends I'm into for Spring" post, and pastels top that list, my friends. And then I come across this, this pale plum Stam! It's gohhhhgeous!!

I don't know if the photography is off or the copy writer for
Neiman Marcus handbags is blind, but there's no mention of how this Stam just look so different! The handles, the width, what is it? If I find out, I'll let you know! (Oh, won't you do the same for moi?)
The purse sells for the usual Stam price of $1,350. *Shrug*
Well I *drooooooooooool* over the colour, it's my new fave!!

Woah! *Marc.Jacobs.overload* (in a robot voice of course!) can be found on
Bergdorf Goodman .com. To start, I'll go to the first bag I noticed of the season. His
Mina bag. A new addition to the framed bags in the Stam-esque family, the Mina has a hobo-like tapered shape and sqooshy bottom, with lots o' ruching below its kiss-lock closure. The one strap on the bag is a long (heavy) chain, and yes it's the only strap. The Mina is quilted like similar MJ bags, but comes in a gohgeous plum tone. Selling for the on-point $1,395 - is it my new favorite? Well, nah, I still love my Stam!
It looks like Marc Jacobs took a trip to Vegas when inspired by new Spring 2007 Python Patchwork Stams, and unfortunately what happened in Marc's imagination there, did not stay in Vegas. No the Python Patchwork Stam is now available for purchase via Saks Fifth Avenue (in blue, the tamest colour).

I should have warned you, this post's images are not for the faint of heart. The bags themselves are not for the faint of loyal Marc Jacobs heart, either---for this burst of tie-dyed snake skin costs $4,000.
More colours below, if you dare click on what look more like digital art images than photographs of real objects.

Gucci art, is this bag, this "Indy" bag with ethnically-flared floral embroidery on white canvas. It's a hobo shape with a single, rigid hand strap (plus detachable shoulder strap) sized quite large indeed, at 19" l x 13" h.
Also adorned in large leather tassels and trimmed in a gorgeous burgundy, this amazing bag costs $3,695. Pre-orders are being taken now for shipment by April 15th.
Even though this is a brand I often find overpriced for its quality and usually find over-rated, I bow down to this beautiful piece. Their Spring collection is striking and different. I just want more!
Suede is oh so soft but difficult to keep nice, both which make it a rare luxury. Embossed-logo leather is also a rare luxury (Guccissima, anyone?). So when you put the two together, well I fall in love.
Coach has a new Beaded Tote in Suede Signature at 14" x 11" for $358, and I wonder ... only one style of bag?!
Luckily for the care-scared or just for more Siggy-embossed, there are still Leather Signature "Hamptons" bags and accessories, like the wristlet.
Indulge!
