In collaboration with artist James Jean, Prada has created what just may be the massive bag hit of S/S 2008. The Fairies Bag is a gorgeous painting on soft supple grain leather, and if the notion of wearable art doesn’t tickle your fancy, perhaps the stunning ad campaign for the bag will. Topping out at $2,290, the collectors piece will be available in very limited quantity.Tilda Swinton have one of this limited bag.Photo courtesy of bagbliss.com

$27,700*

Hailing the return of the structured bag, this might be Fendi’s best seller since the Baguette. Although the white lambskin runway bag (pictured on the runway) was well-received, the $27,700 black crocodile version is truly coveted.

Prada Knot Shoulder Bag is quite cute, can be dressy, and is priced relatively reasonably. This is not just nylon either, it is designed with smooth leather and sports a gathered top and a large knot detail. The knot could almost pass for a rose or some sort of floral design (note I said almost, I did not guarantee it). The other cool aspect is the removable shoulder strap, which means you could easily transition this bag from day to night. The inside is lined in logo fabric and there is a zip pocket. Dimensions are large enough to make the bag usable; 10″ x 6″ x 4.5″. Overall I really do like it. It is alluring but not over the top and feminine but not girly. Available in black and talco via Barneys for $1,295.
