Sole Intuition – A Fusion of Insight and Style

There’s just something about a quilted bag that I find so appealing, so divine. I think they make such a dignified statement. Though I’m not typically a fan of red, the Marc Jacobs Desir Stam Quilted Leather Satchel caught my eye.

The stunning satchel has been updated for the season in luxurious quilted leather with cracked and stamped finish. It has double handles, a long detachable shoulder strap and gold-tone hardware. It also features an exterior zip pocket and top kisslock closure with interior zip pocket.

If the price were say, $1000 less expensive, it would so make it’s way home with me. But it’s not…so it won’t. It will remain an item on my ever-expanding Fantasy File.

Am I the only one who didn’t know that Vans made handbags? I”m glad I found out because I’m really feeling The Don’t Get It Twisted Handbag.

It features twisted straps and a quilted pattern at the top with inner zip pocket. I love it because it’s simple and cute, not to mention it’s big enough for me to just throw my life into it.  Be sure to leave a comment on this Bag Attitude while I go check out more of what Vans have to offer.

Since I’ve been working so hard lately, I do believe it’s about time I purchase myself a designer bag. Though I’m looking for a bag that will have a bit more longevity (and a lower price tag), I still can’t help but find myself coveting the Burberry Prorsum Medium Osprey Leather Tote.

The silver leather tote, having a fringing effect, features one handle, ruching at the sides, studs on the base and has black designer-stamped lining. In case you’re wondering about the color, it’s a “designer color” called Metallic Trench. Nice, right? Be sure to comment and let me know what you think of this Fantasy File.

I’m beginning to love clutches more and more, the big ones that is. I think they’re super chic and it wouldn’t hurt for me to add one or two to my collection. The reMade USA Valencia Clutch is upcycled from used leather jackets. In case you were wondering, upcycling means converting waste materials or useless products into new ones better quality. Smart, right?

The black scrap leather envelope clutch measures 13″ × 8.5″ and is also leather lined. Sweet!

I’m one of those people who believes that certain brands come with expiration dates. By expiration dates, I mean age limits. There’s nothing worse that seeing someone wearing something appropriate for a 12 year old and they’re 25.

It’s not my intent to offend anyone who likes the brand, but I feel that way about Juicy Couture. I think the brand is perfectly suited for anyone under the age of 18 – actually, I’ve say 21, but beyond that…not so much. However, when I stumbled upon the Juicy Couture Generation Y Juicy Studded Canvas Tote, I almost considered purchasing it for gym use. I figured it would be large enough to tote around my towel, water bottle, jacket and whatever else I decide to throw in my bag.

The canvas vote features double shoulder straps, a top concealed magnetic snap closure with an interior zip pouch and cell phone pocket. What do you think? Is it gym worthy? Would you even pay that much for a gym bag? Be sure to comment and let me know what you think.
