Marni Slouchy Leather Bag

Star Stevenson — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 16:55:53 +0000

As much as I love structured handbags like my Louis Vuitton Speedys, I have a soft spot for smooshy and slouchy leather bags. This amazingly Slouchy Leather Bag by Marni has just the right amount of soft, slouchy-ness!

This Marni bag boasts soft supple Mushroom coloured leather with ruched detailing. It has double shoulder straps and a simple silver-tone turn lock fastening on the fold-over flap. The nude shade is soft, subtle and extraordinary. Bet you wouldn’t find another bag in this shade in a crowd! That’s what I love most about this Marni bag. It will definitely stand out among other handbags. Get it now at Net-A-Porter for $1780.

Merry Christmas from Banging Bags!

Hello World!

admin — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 13:00:37 +0000

Hey everyone! My name is Star Stevenson and I’m the new resident pro-blogger for Banging Bags! You may know me from Glamour Gift Guide or even my personal sites. Anyone who knows me well, knows I have an affinity for (read: I love, love, love! ) handbags. Admittedly, it’s one of my (many!) vices. I’m constantly on the look out for my next new piece of arm candy and I love talking about bags in general. In fact, I just added two new bags to my collection just last week! This is my second pro-blog under the b5media network and I’m quite excited and honored to be given another opportunity to write about what I love.

I look forward to getting to know you, the current readers of Banging Bags, as well as make new, equally bag-obsessed friends. Together we shall discover new designers, revisit the established ones as well as discuss the upcoming collections, styles and trends. So, come back often and don’t be a stranger!

Hello World!

Handbags Left In Cars… Thieves Love You For It

SP Bragg — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 11:14:02 +0000

I was just reading about stolen handbags on MoneyExpert.com and they mentioned the fact that over the past year, over 400,000 bags have been stolen from cars. Not only are you losing your bag, but think about what might be in the bag and the things that are going to have to be replaced! Having a credit card fall into the hands of a thief, terrifies me. And then there is the driver’s license with your home address clearly printed for anyone to see… we are talking thieves here. It just gets worse and worse.

Rule of thumb for this holiday season is to keep your bag with you. And those gifts that are too heavy to carry around with you… lock them in the trunk!

Do you know of ANYONE who has had a bag stolen from their car??

Handbags Left In Cars… Thieves Love You For It

Saving Up for Your Next Handbag

SP Bragg — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 19:15:30 +0000

This is so cute, you aren’t going to have any problem at all tossing change into it. For that matter, show it off, your friends might feel inclined to help you save.This little “bag” measures 6 inches which leads me to wonder about how much you could actually stuff in there? Twoonies might add up quite quickly.

Today is Clean Out Your Bag Day

SP Bragg — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 16:31:59 +0000

Am I the only one who find all kinds of STUFF in the bottom of my handbag?? And it seems the bigger the bag, the more stuff I tend to find. Maybe that’s one reason why I have been trying to break myself of the habit of carrying a big handbag. I have to admit though, I would love to peek inside Katie Holme’s bag. Apparently she needs a bag this big to get her through her work day. We just have to be related lol…
