We just returned from MAGIC and Accessories tradeshows in Las Vegas.  We walked miles, but found some new handbags, scarves, belts and jewelry.  We are going to be adding these items to our site in the coming weeks and months. We think you will love to wear them and be seen wearing them.  We will let know what we will be adding to our site.  We can't wait to show the new products to you.  These items are quality accessories yet fashionable and eye catching.

The Best to You.

Our computer bags and laptop cases

We have added computer cases by Miss MAK Handbags and Accessories, Bodhi Handbags, Luis Steven computer cases, and Anuschka Handbags.

These handbags are oriented towards the business woman and student.  They provide functionality and style.  All of these have compartments for a notebook, pens, phone, business cards and files.

Luis Steven's computer cases are perfect for that business woman or student who needs to carry files and a notebook.  These computer cases are designed specifically for carrying a notebook and protecting it. They have a nonstatic material on the inside and they are fully padded so that your note book is protected.  They are made of beautiful colorful leather, which will make you stand out.

Miss MAK offers two brief cases.  Both are made of a croco leather material.  They are brief cases so you can carry your files but large enough that you can carry a notebook.  The leather is exquisite.  These are stylist brief cases that you will want for that business meeting.

Bodhi Handbags offers a laptop case which you can place your notebook or files in.  If is small and sleek.  The leather is incredibly soft but durable.   Bodhi also has a top zip messenger bag.  This is a large bag in which you can carry a notebook and several files.  It is perfect for going to that meeting where you must bring your computer and several files.

 Finally, Anuschka Handbags offs a laptop organizer. It has three pockets for pen holders, cell phone and multipurpose pockets, and a removable padded laptop cushion. The front outside pocket has magnetic flap entry.  Off course on the outside is the typical Anuschka hand painter designs, which are not subtle.

All of us are business women.  We, like you, want to carry a stylist laptop case and/or brief case that fits our personality, sense of style, and profession.  We are trying to offer you some choices with that in mind. 

We will be adding more of these items in the coming months and we will be offering wallets, card holders and passport carriers.  I think you will like them.

Vin Baker Handbags... Beautiful and Eco-Friendly!

One designer the HandbagTailor team was eagerly looking forward to meeting and greeting while attending the WSA Show in Las Vegas in August of this year was Joe Peach of Vin Baker Handbags.  After visiting with him, we quickly realized that he has a vibrant and energetic personality and truly loves and deeply cares about what he does... "including staying GREEN."  From Joe Peach:  “It is my responsibility to my customers and consumers to design and produce the “most desirable product” as possible. However, as a citizen and as a designer, I am very sensitive to our environment and therefore take many steps to make sure that our ‘imprint’ on it is as minimal as possible without sacrificing the desirability of the product..."
 
After visiting with him, we viewed his new line.  These handbags are beautiful, well-made, functional, and... eco-friendly!

New Bodhi Handbags

My favorite handbag/tote for Summer is my new Bodhi Standard Bucket Tote in Grass.  First of all, I have to say that this bag is absolutely STUNNING!!  The color is a brilliant shade of green… PERFECT for the Spring, Summer AND fall seasons!  I appreciate the superb quality and craftsmanship of this bag.  I travel quite extensively for work and this bag is large enough to take small amounts of work as a “carry-on.”  I feel that this bag is a tremendous value for all that you get!  In fact, it is a bag that gets noticed and asked about everywhere I go! 

Visit HandbagTailor.com - Designers - Bodhi Handbags - to view the Standard Bucket Tote plus other Bodhi Handbags as well as many, many other wonderful Handbags and Accessories!

As a point of interest, the below article and picture appeared in the BlogHamptons.com:

Beth Ostrosky Stern Launches New BODHI Bags

 

 

Beth Ostrosky Stern hosted a luncheon at Savannah's in Southampton on Saturday to launch BODHI bags' new, limited edition animal-friendly collection.

The cruelty free line of clutches, totes, hobos, dog carriers and collars will help support North Shore Animal League America by donating an amazing 100% of the profits to the Long Island based no-kill shelter.

Beth, who rocked summer chic in a floral Ralph Lauren halter dress, was accompanied by her English Bulldog Bianca, who was pawfectly accessorized in a pink, faux-patent BODHI collar.

Guests included Real Housewives Kelly Killoren Bensimon and Bethenny Frankel, who had an awkward but pleasant exchange before Kelly, her daughters, and their two dogs made a graceful exit shortly after Bethenny arrived.

But the real stars of the day were the puppies brought to Savannah's by the North Shore Animal League for their adoption drive. Bethenny was particularly smitten with one 7-week-old precious pup who fell asleep on her shoulder during an interview with News 12's Gina Glickman. The puppies in need of "forever homes" melted the hearts of Rosanna Scotto and her lovely, look-a-like daughter Jenna, Jill Martin, Ellen Scarborough, and Bodhi designer Joseph Janus, who brought along his own pampered pooch, Marco.

She receives comments on the color of the bag, the softness, and especially the gold chain.  She also comments on the design of the interior pockets, the lovely red color of the interior fabric, and the accompanying assessory bag which she uses for credit cards, cash, makeup, or other items.

We think you would love this handbag, and it is on sale!

Have a wonderful New Year celebration!

During this difficult times it is important that our customer buy just what she wants.

Also important are the pockets, inside and outside the handbag.  If you don't see what you want on our site, call or email us and we will design the pockets so they are exactly what you want.

We can also make the straps so they are the length that you desire.

With this capability we are providing you with a beautiful and functional handbag or purse, so that your funds are well spent.  Also, we think you will enjoy the experience of creating your own handbag.

black is the new black

In all my latest perusing of fall fashion magazines,  I have come across one consistent theme--black is back.  Whether it be trends of rocker chic, goth or just classic grey scale dress, black is everywhere in all textures of leather.  At handbagtailor.com, we carry tons of fashionable black handbags for you or you can create your own. 

One of my faves is the Ananas Beatrice Distressed black patent shoulder/hobo bag.  I'm kind of partial to big bags because I tend to overload my purse.  This purse has such a unique shape and the texture of the leather insures this bag will take a beating and still come across as stylish.  And in the classic ,and very in color, black, it will carry you from season to season.  On sale at $450.00.

If you are in the Christmas shopping mood, what better time to design a custom handbag for someone you love. It will arrive around Thanksgiving at your door so you can start wrapping early.  My sister Julie is a purse maniac and 95% of her closet is black.  I'm thinking she would really love the Shoulder Hobo by Viva in Black lamb leather with silver hardware.  Lots of pockets for her lipstick and cell phone on the front and a roomy interior for her other must haves.

One of my favorite monthly magazines, Lucky, just ran a web article on "Great Bags under $150."  It seems that all the financial woes on Wall Street are starting to sink into our pocketbooks as well.  But what if you still need a new handbag? Don't fret.  Handbagtailor.com has many affordable options available, especially if you take advantage of our Fox 20% discount by watching the clip I blogged about on 7/31/08.   
Marnie Bugs, my favorite classic designer, features the Buggette in black Italian leather with a gold D-ring clasp for only $200.  The Buggette is the size of a clutch but the shoulder strap doubles its practicality.  Ms. Bugs also offers the Red Fin clutch for $150 and the Red Sliplet Chain clutch for $187.
All told we have at least ten handbags available for under $200 especially if you take advantage of the FOX discount.

Python is the handbag texture of choice in this fall's monthly fashion magazines. From clutches to shopping totes and hobo bags python is covering them all.  Handbagtailor.com has partnered with Viva Bags of California to bring you five different handbag styles all available in python.  Python colors available include classic tones like brown-gold and silver, but also a  very eco sage green color.  All three colors are available on our five styles of customizable handbags from the envelope clutch to the Kelley tote.  And you pick the hardware.
