Chloe bags and Juicy Couture
brand No Comments »Still carrying around your groceries in plastic bags? Shame on you (and me). We have no excuse, though, ladies - with all of these organic totes popping up everywhere, there’s something to suit everyone’s discerning tastes (even you, leather lovers). While I’m not sure it’s the brilliant design that will finally convert everyone to a greener lifestyle, I think it’s worth mentioning this Juicy Couture California Go Green Canvas Bag. Roomy enough to hold a smallish load, this functional bag serves a dual purpose: It makes life easier for you with its strong material, and it sends a positive and important message to the world. Go green for $75 at Saks.
Though I’m not a huge fan of Juicy Couture, I couldn’t help but adore the new collection of nylon handbags at the store the other day. I gave them a little test drive and this lovely Janet Shoulder Bag definitely came out on top. Not only is the pink color adorable, the bag itself is very graceful despite its slouchy, relaxed shape. There are a few unusual touches here and there, including the angled zipper and the seatbelt-like trim across the bottom, and then there are the details we all expect from Juicy (hanging dogtag and whistle charms). The overall effect is light and youthful, and the purse is just perfect to carry on those warm, sunny days all season long. It’s also sold in black, green and purple shades. Available for $195 at Neiman Marcus.
Juicy Couture is known for their girlie, quirky handbags, and if you’re looking for a good neutral bag that’s casual, you just might be in luck. The Juicy Couture Anchor Tote is a great weekend bag to wear with jeans or a cute summer dress. It’s made of canvas in a natural color with white ruched handles that are easy on you and don’t leave ugly red marks (yes, Balenciaga, we’re talking to you). The bag also comes with a removable shoulder strap, so you can wear it messenger style as your roam the boardwalk in style. I can’t wait for summer, in case you haven’t picked up on that. The Juicy Couture Anchor Tote retails for $250.
Chloe was founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion in Paris from her simple, chic clothing line. Aghion developed body-skimming, alluring designs that were a striking contrast to the prim, reserved ensembles of her day.
The popularity of the initial designs allowed the Chloe Company to continue to grow, and the designs became more widely available in other countries. Today the collections include designer handbags, accessories, and shoes as well as clothing.
