The Reverse Fold

We’re really pleased with the Fold shell cordovan money holder; it’s elegant, simple and as low tech as you can get. Cordovan is very supple leather and develops a wonderful patina over time.

We thought you might like to know that as beautiful as the finished side is the Fold can also be used on the reverse side. I recently began using my color 6 Fold reversed. I like the look of the cordovan on the inside when I open it, as well as the natural finish on the outside; I’m interested to see how the backside will age. It’s all about options.

Dare To Wear The Azumi And David Bag?

This is definitely not your average looking bag! People would want to take a second look at it, believing they’ve got it all wrong the first time.

Is that a bird, is that a plane? No, it’s a bag looking like a bootie. Or a bootie looking like a quilted bag? Keeping up with the trendiest bags traditions – the chain shoulder strap and the fringed side accessory – the new fall winter 2010 2011 collection from Azumi and David will pop the hood of your imagination with this new bag. Does it fuel your fashion engine? (if it does, then note that the bag is available for $458 and the clutch version you can see after the jump in black or gold is $375)

Haul Your Books In Style With A New Messenger Bag

School may be starting, but believe it or not, there is a way to make that first disheartening hike to class a little more enjoyable — a new messenger bag for all your school loot! Kick that nerdy backpack to the curb and opt for one of this season’s most stylish messengers to stow all your books, electronics, and other study must-haves on the go. Of course, messenger bags aren’t just for students, so if you’re in the market for a new bag to tow your laptop or other work necessities, look no further! I love the edginess of this corset-inspired bag with lace-up details, courtesy of Kettle Black, but if you were hoping for something with a preppier vibe, this houndstooth patterned bag from Juicy Couture has “giddy schoolgirl” written all over it. Ikat prints are still totally in, so I’m loving the tribal flair of this bag from Urban Outfitters, which is colorful without looking garish. For a more splurge-worthy staple, you might want to opt for a messenger with a more classic look that’ll still be stylish for years to come, like this buckled snake-embossed messenger by CC Skye, or this practical one from Banana Republic!

The Shoe Snob spotted these extreme Nicholas Kirkwood satin pumps with pearl embellished platforms. Not the most practical shoe. But definitely a head-turner!
