juicy-couture-leather-satchel

The LWL Leather Satchel from Juicy Couture is crafted with smooth leather and accented with gold links and a “J” heart charm that dangles from the handle. On the inside, the pockets read “Shop!” “Hello?” and “Juicy Kiss!”. The canvas interior is stamped with the Juicy Couture logo and there’s a mirror attached by a cord that reads “I am the fairest.” Personally, I think there is a little too much reading involved with this bag but I find it charming despite how it makes my brain hurt. At $350, the satchel measures 15 x 6.5 x 11.5 inches.

Offered exclusively from Saks Fifth Avenue, Juicy Couture really gives me something to smile about with their Jetset Box Bag. Although some of their bags are a little over-the-top for me with all the teenybopper colors and styles, I’ll have to admit that this little guy is pretty cute, bopper or not. Composed of faux snakeskin (thank God, the reptile-butchery was getting out of hand) and signature canvas lining, the bag has a charming heart-shaped lock securing its contents. A pink, twill bow completes the honey-colored purse and adds just enough frill without overplaying the cutesy card. Juicy’s Jetset Box Bag is priced at $225.

Slowly but surely, Juicy Couture is moving back on to my good side with some of their new styles. This cute Canvas Hobo has a tan body with light pink trim. The bag features two shoulder straps that attach to the canvas bag with rings which pleat the purse at the top. Flap pockets can be found on the sides of the hobo and a signature “J” heart tag is attached to the front. The summery Canvas Hobo from Juicy Couture measure 7 x 13 x 8 inches and sells for $198.

As part of Juicy Couture’s Fall 2005 Trunk Show, Saks is offering a new line of Juicy handbags that are available now for pre-order. Included in the series is this adorable Babe Charm Handbag in metallic leather that has chain-detailed handles and a crystal logo charm. In dirty gold color, the Babe Charm bag from Juicy Couture sells for $295 and measures 7 x 10 x 3 inches. Some other Juicy bags due out this fall that I liked were the Lola Handbag and Baby Fluff Bag with Chains. All of the Trunk Show items can be viewed here.

This Juicy Couture Weekender bag has me chomping at the bit! With a Tartan looking plaid wool and nubuck leather trim this bag is more than appealing. Combine that with quilted leather handles and a belted shoulder strap and the Juicy Weekender easily tops my wish list for a new overnight bag! The bag measures 27 x 14 x 10 inches and can be purchased at eLuxury for $425.

I have nothing to say except that I threw up in my mouth a little bit at first sight of this bag. Juicy Couture’s Velour Backpack is not only ugly, but ridiculously priced at $225. With all the purple and the poms, I don’t know what to even say about it other than what I already have. Yuck. Vomit. Yuck.

Just the purse for spring, this adorable Juicy Girl Small Nylon Tote features dark pink topstitching with vibrant pink hardware and studs. Accented with tonal/dark pink “Her Majesty; Juicy Couture” and signature Scottie dog crest appliqu?? this bag measures 9×12x7. Available in crystal/cocoa, you can purchase it at Neiman Marcus for $165.

Okay, so maybe I’m jumping the gun a little with this whole spring thing, but this Couture Islands Bag with Towel by Juicy Couture is really hot! This clear plastic tote, with pink leather trim features top handles with rings and is accented with a “First class Couture” shield. Includes pink/light green/white/black map-print towel, with a matching zip top coin purse, this adorable bag is available at Neiman Marcus for $165.

At some point and time, Juicy Couture bags were not on my list of favorites, but here lately, I’ll have to say, I’m really loving their new styles. The Juicy Couture Bowler bag, made of soft-grained leather with contrast topstitching is accented with polished silver or brushed gold metal hardware. This unique bag features key charms galore and signature textile lining. It measures 14×11x4, and is available in black or dark beige. You can buy it at eLuxury for $325.

The It-Girl Fairy Tale Shoulder Bag by Juicy Couture is fashioned in natural canvas with grained leather trim. Accented with antiqued silver metal hardware, this really cute bag carries with a leather shoulder strap with adjustable buckle and links. What really offsets this bag is the top flap with the Juicy fairy tale-embossed plate and lock closure. I’ll have to say, I think Juicy Couture is finally growing up and getting away from that whole teen scene thing. This very smart and ohhh sooo stylish bag looks like something I’ll need to save my lunch money for! Measuring 15×8x6.5, you can pick up this little number at eLuxury for $450.
