New Fashion Designer Bag Lover

There are a few reasons why Jones Bootmaker has come up on my fashion radar this week. Firstly the lovely Tor at fabfrocks posted about this fab bag, which had me thinking if I wasn't such a designer bag lover then this would be a great investment at only £69 for a leather bag which will go with everything, never go out of fashion and looks big enough to fill with everything except the kitchen sink!

Then this weeks Grazia featured a classic Leather Satchel, also £69, for those of you who a) can't afford a Mulberry Alexa or b) don't like it anyway!

My favourite weekly Glossy also featured another one of my current obsessions - Clogs! Totally loving these (both colours) at a very reasonable £65, but alas I think Mrs Fab will need to continue her quest for a slightly lower pair as I want to be able to wear them everyday and any shoes with heels over 2 inches are purely for transportation by Taxi not for traipsing around Tesco, although I might have to make an exception for the Russell and Bromley Leopard print ones, they are divine and have me drooling like a dog! Oh and can somebody please tell me why R&B don't sell online?

New Stock Satchel Style Mulberry Alexa In Fashion Trend

The more time I have had to think about it, the more I think I may be going off it (a tad).
I think any "it" bag lover got a bit caught up in the hysteria surrounding the Alexa, after all it seemed to tick all the boxes. satchels were going to big news for s/s10, vintage ones were fetching a pretty penny on ebay and this one was even named after Alexa Chung (not that that has any kind of impact on any of us who are actually old enough to be her Mum) but we do appreciate a good bag, no matter who it is named after.
I have been thinking about the satchel style and how practical it is when in use as a bag. I thought back to when I had a Fendi B, I got so many compliments on it as it sat perched effortlessly, in the crook of my arm, but if you had seen me trying to extract my purse from it whilst at the checkout in Tesco, with an umbrella in one hand, my mobile in the other and all the shopping to contend with, it was a complete nightmare. You unclipped the flap which was stiff, no soft squidgy leather, so it didn't stay up whilst you hunted around desperately for something inside.
With the Alexa, you can of course eliminate that problem as it can be worn across the body,although this isn't always a good look for larger ladies, as the strap will sit between two big bosoms and the bag will be perched next to one of your hips, making you appear even wider than you actually are.
Then, not to help matters, I saw these recent pictures and I am not so sure I like the way it looks, all sloppy and just "hanging there" with little structure.

Have you or anyone else you know bought this bag? If so, what do you think? and if you really must have it the Butter coloured one pictured at the top of this post, is back in stock at net-a-porter, but hurry!

Muratori Launches Eco-Friendly Luxury Handbag Line

Luxury...with the world in mind sums up the Muratori mission of producing high quality designer handbags that are both beautiful and environmentally conscious. When Julie Berard decided she wanted to launch a handbag collection she knew exactly what she wanted: something that could be luxurious and also environmentally friendly. “We are so thrilled to present our new collection,” said Berard. “My dream was to share my love of fashion, while preserving nature. I was eager to find a way to combine these two ideas and am confident that with a Muratori bag, one will feel a sense of ultimate luxury and style without having to sacrifice the environment.”

The line made it's debut in January of 2010 and has even been picked up by David Lawrence at The Bravern. The collection is made in Italy using only the finest material including chrome-free leathers, custom-made hardware, and a strong Italian tradition carried out by master craftsman to create remarkably unique bags. The attention to detail is evident, the shapes of the bags are distinctive yet timeless and each has an element of surprise. Muratori is truly Luxury with the World in Mind™.
