The words “bling bling” conjure images of something gaudy and over-the-top, which I don’t think is appropriate for this lovely little bag. Obviously vintage-inspired, the ‘fabric’ of this metal-frame bag is created from linked Crystals, forming an open weave of jewels over the silver lining. More crystals dot the handle and the clasp is set with a large Swarovski Crystal accent. Measuring 8″W X 5½” D, this perfect party bag sells for $900.
The frame bag has a large resin ‘jewel’ for the closure and the interior is lined in logo jacquard. Measuring 9 2/5″H x 16 1/2″W x 7 1/10″D, the bag is featured in Bergdorf Goodman’s Resort Focus and sells for $2,490.

Gucci’s Diamond Travel Tote is all dressed up in elegant woven fabric and a smart leather crest - and the brand’s logo script scrawled across the front. Though its exterior is rather showy (at least the colors are neutral), the interior is all business: Laden with compartments to keep small items in place, it also has enough space to make traveling a simple, comfortable affair. Not my personal taste, but not bad either. Available for $1276 at Bluefly.
Nordstrom is offering up this beautiful Botkier Bianca satchel in a stunning electric blue patent leather. The zippered front compartments provide easy access while the topzip and flap main compartment offers more security for personal items. The silvertone hardware accents the marine blue well and add even more shine to the patent leather. I imagine this handbag would be tres chic paired with black. But fans will have to wait, as this purse (and its 4 other-colored siblings) is only on preorder for the Spring 2008 collection, for $595 through Nordstrom.
