Get Your Vintage Fix - J.W. Hulme (Virtually) Auctions Off Its Archives

Chi Diem Chau — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 09:15:13 PDT

If you're not familiar with J.W. Hulme, let us give you a quick history lesson. The brand has been around since 1905, making tents for the war and then later designing bags for sporting hunters. Fast-forward to present time and J.W. Hulme is still going strong, but now designing quality bags and accessories for the 9 to 5 warrior. We love its sturdy, timeless bags, so you can imagine our excitement when we found out the brand just launched an auction site today - bids are currently between $126 to $420 - selling rare and vintage pieces from its archives. The current stock, which will be replenished for the next couple of weeks, includes a bevy of women and men's bags ranging from buttery soft brown leather totes to cross-body saddle bags. The perfect Fall gift for yourself, or maybe a deserving boyfriend? Check out more pieces from the collection in the slideshow, and then start shopping. May the highest bidder win!

A Chic Lunch Tote That Will Keep Your Food Chill

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 14:00:22 PDT

From the outside, this Murval Ibiza Lunch Tote ($27), designed by Parisian sisters Muriel and Valerie, looks like any other chic lunch bag. But it's what's on the inside that's really impressive - it has an insulated interior so your food can stay chilly on the go. Cool, right? I'm sure YumSugar would approve. Beauty junkies can also use it as a makeup travel bag. Sophisticated bag on the outside, geeky cool on the inside.

Alexander McQueen may have passed, but he lives on in so many ways - tribute books, ads, new collections. The latest way is this awesome Lola&Bailey Long Live McQueen Tote ($49). It's a genius play off of the original motto, "Long Live the Queen," and even includes a small crown. Very cool. Take it to the beach, the store, to work; keep McQueen by your side, always.

Totes Too Cute to Leave at Home

PetSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 10:55:05 PDT

Straight from the makers of those chic cushions and neat Blik wall decals, the people over at Pillow Pillow Pillow let you take your breed love on the road with organic cotton totes. After all, you'd look pretty ridiculous carrying around a pillow. Water-based inks make up the simple silhouettes (all based on actual animals). Naturally, Otis the Boston Terrier is my favorite, but peep the other cute designs below. Happy shopping!

Fab Finding Followup: Pool Par-tay

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:00:22 PDT

Splish splash - I attended a super-fun pool party last weekend. Finding a splashy outfit is simple but the twist(er) was my parents were also in attendance. That's why I needed you to help me find a cute ensemble that wouldn't offend the elders. Don't get me wrong, the 'rents are cool, but there was no need to have my goodies hanging out amongst friends and fams. I started you off with this rad Free People Tie-Dye Beach Tote ($98); I adore the wavy print and extra-large shape.

Let's see my favorite looks!

Look #1, created by barbiesugar, incorporates cool colors; I also love the raffia fedora.
