Fab's Spring Handbag Guide! Convertible bags

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 14:02:22 -0700

When form meets function you have the convertible bag. These have been the celeb favorite lately. Remember Reese and her Lanvin? As well, Ashley Olsen's all about it. When worn as a satchel, the long strap hangs in a cool lackadaisical fashion; when worn as a shoulder bag, it looks travel ready. The convertible bag is even more convenient than the car, if you ask me. Here are some fab favorites.

I hope you're loving my Spring Handbag Guide! Just can't get enough? Join the Ooh! Cute purses! group founded by justjaime27.

Simply Fab: Maison Martin Margiela Convertible Beach Bag

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 02:00:22 -0800

It's a bag, no wait, it's a beach towel, wait . . . it's both! This MM6 Maison Martin Margiela Convertible Terry Beach Bag ($235) works like a beach bag and beach mat all rolled up into one. Just unzip the sides and huzzah: the cheery yellow plush terry towel is ready to protect you from the sand. Fab!

Two Bags in One!

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 00:53:14 -0700

Whether you're going back to the beach or back to school, a cute tote bag is a must. And a reversible tote bag? That's like getting two bags for the price of one!

Designer Sheila Djiwatampu, after training in Indonesia and Switzerland, has taken the plunge and hung out her own shingle. Her website, Sheila D, showcases these functional and fashion-forward totes, school bags, and pouches. You can buy them here for just $28. So get one for your remaining beach days, then when summer's over, just toss it in the laundry, turn it inside out, and take it back to school.

Look Book Love: Foley + Corinna, Fall '09

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Excuse me while I scoop my jaw off the floor. I didn't think I could love Foley + Corinna more than I already do, but my lust just got stronger thanks to its kickass Fall look book. Dana Foley and Anna Corinna dreamt up a collection of handbags made in rich Autumnal hues and buttery soft leather. The convertible bag remains a Fab fave, but this smart sling bag comes in a close second. Isn't it a cool, uptown take on backpacks?

On Our Radar: Rent Karl Lagerfeld's Idol Tote at Avelle

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 13:00:22 -0700

There's not a lot of bags I would rent, but I'm making an exception for this Karl Lagerfeld Limited-Edition 'Idol' Metal Mesh Tote and Convertible Clutch ($51 per week for members; $57 for nonmembers) that Angela Lindvall carried on the catwalk. How intoxicating would you be walking into a party with it on your arm? It's like having Karl as your date minus the intimidation. There's tons more gorgeousness in the designer boutique so be sure to bag it.

The Bags to Have at Fashion Week

FabSugar — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 07:00:22 -0800

Who knew a fun way to kill time at Fashion Week was to snap pictures of fashionistas' handbags? I am more of a shoe girl, but fabulous bags were just dangling left and right and I had to give you a peek at the bags of New York Fashion Week. The most popular were Goyard, Marni, Mulberry, Prada, Chanel and, my personal favorite, Yves Saint Laurent. This is a good mix of It bags and classics; it goes to show whatever bag tickles your fancy works as a bag to have at Fashion Week. What caught my eye? This metallic handled black Givenchy Nightingale. Ashley Olsen is a fan of this bag - I love the contrasting handle and convertible strap.

The Bag to Have: Gryson For Target Patent Woven Bag With Cutout Handles

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 15:00:22 -0800

Though Gryson's collection for Target hasn't yet hit stores, I spy the perfect little Summer white bag. My qualms about a white bag match that of many: The idea is nice, but how can you possibly keep a white bag clean? The way I see it, if the bag isn't super expensive then a little smudge, or two, won't be the end of the world. This Gryson For Target Patent Woven Bag With Cutout Handles ($45) is the perfect contender - I adore the convertible handles and woven leather. And white patent? Say it isn't so.

The latest beauty up for grabs, this Goldenbleu Audra Candy Convertible Clutch ($650), is one of the most versatile we've offered because it can be carried on the shoulder with the chain link handle and as a clutch sans the handle.
