Christian Louboutin and his creative genius are irrepressible. The brand he has developed in his own name recently celebrated its 20 th anniversary. He has no doubt made his reputation by designing footwear and created a distinct style of his own. However, he is not willing to be tied down to only shoes. He wants to prove to the world that there is more to Christian Louboutin than just women’s shoes. He has not just created but established a men’s line with some exclusive designs. He has been working at expanding the line and keeps adding new accessories to his existing line. The new component he has added to his men’s line is the elegant 3Way Limited Edition Bag. It fits very well as a part of the fashionable men’s collection. The limited edition handbag has been crafted out of pure premium leather. The design of the bag makes it very versatile and convenient to carry. The leather backpack can easily be transformed into a tote by simply detaching the shoulder st...

No matter what is the extent of diet-conscious fashion divas but I put my foot down when it comes to the secret behind their heights of sensual vibes they secrete while walking on the ramp. Yes, you may call it a result of their regular spa treatment or spending hours in gymnasium but to me it clearly seems to be a symptom of their too much intake of dark black chocolate cupcakes. And why not as the sinful treat makes it impossible for any women to stay away from. But little was I aware that they will choose this strategy to flaunt their love for handbags or rather goodies or to be precise cupcakes. Claiming to be the world’s most expensive cupcake (not edibily), it is a welcoming accessory to be picked by trendy women. Called cupcake evening bag from Judith Leiber, it is festooned with choco colored rocks and diamonds and can offer a room for your designer gloss and accommodate few currency to pay off tips. Retailed at $4,295, this would surely not open for any sundry a...

Luxury handbags are the most sought after accessory by women and Louis Vuitton has been masters at designing and creating collections that are lapped up by the women. They move along with the changing trends and fashion. They are about to launch their Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2011 Lockit clutches and bags. It is an original design from 1958 which is making a comeback after so many decades.

The International Jewelry Week at Dubai was a grand success as it brought together several bespoke creations that were made specifically with the event in mind. We had recently reported about the gemstone bath tub that was unveiled during the week. The fashion accessory that really wowed the crowd at the weeklong event was the Mouawad 1001 Nights Diamond clutch purse . The heart shaped, handcrafted and diamond encrusted purse has achieved the distinction of being the most expensive handbag in the world. The fact has been confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records. Priced at $3.8 million the purse was on display at the Pearl Lounge, Dubai World Trade Centre during the International Jewelry Week. The body of the purse has been made from 18K gold. The entire body of the purse has been covered with a total of 4,517 diamonds that weigh an astonishing 381 carats. The embellishment of an object to this level is unprecedented and that’s why the result is absolutely breathtak...

Of all the accessories that we would recommend buying, bags are one of the most sensitive accessories that need attention. For instance, after the Hermes Birkin Handbag which we had announced earlier, you might want to take a look at the Hermes Berkin Handbag which is made of gold and diamond. It is expected to fetch an astounding amount of 90k, which is a ridiculous amount of money. The bag doesn’t look appealing and lacks the class that one would like to see in bags like that. In fact, it is surprising that Hermes would launch something so bulky and call it a high end bag. Nevertheless, what makes it high end are the diamonds and gold which are attached all over the bag. The metals and stones do not add to the allure either, and it is one of those bags that you actually would not want to be seen with even if it is rather expensive. Of course, there would be several takers for bags like these and there is no doubt about it. You might want to take a look at the Victoria...
