As a special treat this week, I thought I’d feature great purse-posts (or pursts) from around the bagosphere. I’m a little bit wiped from purses, but there were great bags and/or commentary abounding this week. I can find inspiration from an opinion or another blogger’s (bagger’s) find, even if I’m having trouble starting from scratch.

Starting with an Important IT bag from Fendi that I missed in my recent scouting, due to different stock at different e-stores: The Fendi Large Leather Selleria Tote, via Luxist, sold at Saks Fifth Avenue. I posted the line’s hobo on High Fashion High, last week, but this bag is better! I love the shape, stitching and horizontal strap. And sure, the horse is an interesting feature, but I don’t understand its buckle design embossed onto the leather. That doesn’t seem too luxe, just odd.

– Purseuing’s DKNY Reversible Bag in red paisley is lovely for summer, but I wish the block pattern on the opposite side were a contrast color, like navy. I’d buy it for sure, then.

– I disagree about Coach’s Signature in general (I think it has an artistic and well-designed aesthetic of the butterfly pattern) but EBelle5 points out more to dislike about their patchwork signature. Still, as a commenter stated, the “counterfeiters dream” aspect is more about higher difficulty in recognizing a fake, and less about amateur sewers replicating it.

– Finally, get a different perspective from Mallory’s on Luella’s Charm Satchel on The Bag Snob, with “Not Charmed by Luella” (best title this series). Although, The Bag Snob is quite mouthy about her distaste, indeed. Gosh, she is a Bag Snob! Whoa.
