These purses from Valentino all fall into that category.  With lush leather, folded and layered detailing, they are just as much sculpture as accessories.  All the purses are made in Italy and feature silk lining.

Don’t believe me?  Check these out!

Unique Textures from Valentino

From bright lime green to a classic black, this Brilliant Croc Fraimed Satchel will get you all the right looks on the street. I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t get the single ladies a date or two.

(why haven’t I bought one yet?)

It is made of caiman fuscus crocodile with a top handle and  suede lining. It measures 8″ high by 10″ wide by 5″ deep. This stunner is $2,850.

If the Satchel wasn’t quite your style check out the Crocodile Flap Satchel. This one comes in magenta or vanilla. It’s made of the same material, but includes a shoulder strap and is a tad bigger. This bag measures  9″ high by 9 6/8″ wide by 4 6/8″ deep. Because of the size it is $2,950.

From the quilted grained leather, the golden brass hardware with the rolled leather handles, you can tell right away this Marc Jacobs satchel is luxurious. The satchel shape is classic, the size 14″x 11.5″x 6″ is not too big.  However, I feel the leather belt and buckle around the bag is a bit much. I don’t think it needs that detail to make it look good.  In any case, it’s a very smart looking bag and the Beige colour is beautiful and versatile. I’m definitely a Marc Jacobs‘ fan and the material and craftsmanship is excellent. Get the Bruna Double Quilted Satchel now at eLuxury for $1295

Nine West Mina Leather Satchel

The first thing I noticed was the heaviness of the chains, but surprisingly enough, it didn’t take away from the femininity of the bag in the least. I don’t know how he pulled it off, but this is one gorgeous bag by Christian Louboutin! You are no doubt going to love this… the bag is lined in what else… but red!! ($1195.00 in case you are curious.)

Christian Louboutin Loubinette Lace-Covered Satchel

I can’t help it… I love this fuchsia bag, right down to those tiny ruffles. Frankly, I can’t find ONE thing about it that I don’t like. The bags that are presently sitting on a shelf in the closet shelf simply can’t hold a candle to this one and it would look amazing with my black leather coat. And, it’s even been marked down by 40%, and you know how I love to find a bargain. You are getting a $715.00 bag for $429.00! The bag is also available in black if the fuchsia is just a wee bit more than you can handle.

But I can’t imagine why lol…
