Default Michele Handbags - Who knew?!?!
I was browsing through Saks on Saturday looking for my fall handbag. Have been looking for a new fall bag for 6 weeks or more - online, in numerous stores, etc. Nothing has grabbed me...until NOW!

I had heard that Michele (known for their beautiful watches) had come out with a handbag line but had not seen anything from it. Well, when I saw this stunner - the Michele Kylie - I was hooked! It also comes in black and brown but this purple color with iridescent leather trim is amazing!

The quality lis quite high. Stitching is precise, hardware substantial, good attention to detail. The leather has a beautiful glazed finish and is sufficiently thick for the style. I am so excited to carry her!

~Enjoy!

I was also shocked to see these in Nordstrom's a few weeks ago. There was a fabulous metallic (subtle, but pretty) hobo that I loved, but the handle wasn't quite long enough. I was told by one of the SA's that Michele came out with these a few seasons back, but they just recently were picked up by the department stores. I can't wait to see more!

I saw a few Michele bags online that caught my eye on Saks. I haven't seen them irl but am impressed with the lines of the bags thus far.

They are gorgeous! I've actually seen a few at NR. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I think I may soon :)

I didn't know Michele made bags. I don't own a Michele watch, but I've always admired them. The bag you got it really pretty! Thanks for sharing.

Great bag! I saw Michele bags at Nordstrom last holiday season. She had one that looked similar to a Birkin! I think her prices are very fair for the quality of bag/leather. Good choice!

I just pulled the trigger on an Inez hobo in black at Saks online sale. Only 346! They have about 3 or 4 bags on their site on sale right now. Can't wait to get it!

Here's new black Inez hobo. Love it!! The leather is divine, sturdy, great sheen yet almost a suede-like feel. The stud and zipper details add a bit of edge along w/ the braided handle. It fits a substantial amount and feels comfy on the shoulder. The slouch factor is great. I'm very impressed so far and will be taking it for a test drive today!!

On sale at Saks.com for only 346.50!
