I recently discovered Marka handbags, which is a company that produces business and travel bags that not only serve their functions well, but are quite stylish and chic at the same time. This is a feat that is not always so easy to carry out considering the active lifestyles of most people. Functional bags need to be well-made, able to carry a lot and able to withstand a lot of wear and tear, but at the same time, they need to look nice.
Marka bags, founded by Molly Nelson and Katherine Walker Buxton, fill that handbag void of multipurpose bags that are at the same time, functional and pretty. The web site is fun to browse with bags divided by style, occasion and even a special section for laptop bags. There’s bags for work, travel, everyday and even some that would work for new moms. There’s lots of chic color choices and beautiful combinations of Italian leathers and woven fabrics. Plus, the bag prices span a wide range with some in the $100-dollar range and the most expensive around $425.
For a fun twist, check out the “ex-files” which showcases how the bags got their names. Not only are these bags chic, there’s a great sense of humor connected to them too!

Hi Mallory,
I’m Mac, a Fashion and Beauty editor with TopTenSources.com - love this site you and Ella do! I’m writing you about a new site, StyleFeeder.com (http://www.stylefeeder.com/). It’s a great way to keep track of all the fashion finds you see while you’re shopping/browsing online, and because it’s formatted as a feed (with images as tags!) you can share it with lots of people, especially your readership (including me).
Sign up, add the bookmarklet to your browser toolbar and, next time you see a great bag or pair of shoes, click and it’s on your StyleFeed! Here’s my feed as an example: http://www.stylefeeder.com/stylefeed/mackenzie (I thought tagging “cute_guy” was fun, but no buying them, unfortunately ;)).
Hope you like StyleFeeder, and keep up the great work at Pursed Lips!
Best,
Mac
