Cate Blanchett Wears Viktor & Rolf: The Bombshell and the Bombette
By Bag Snob Tina on May 22, 2013 10:00 am Tina Craig

Cate Blanchett carries Viktor and Rolf's Bombette Bag

Cate Blanchett: from Belstaff to Tod’s, the elegant actress is always a trendsetter and never a follower. Now the porcelain-skin star has done it again. As she exited the Hotel Armani in Milan on May 21st, she kept her look classic and androgynous, allowing her bag to (deservedly) do the talking. This isn’t just another top-handle bag; it’s the sought-after Bombette from Viktor & Rolf, my very favorite Dutch duo. (Indeed, Charlize Theron, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Miranda Kerr have all been spotted with it dangling from their arms, but Cate wears it best.)

Cate understands sometimes a sacrifice is worth it when it comes to high style. The Bombette, out of the house’s Fall/Winter 2013 collection, doesn’t boast the most practical of handles, but luckily those sculptural handles fold over and then you can enlist the help of the functional crossbody straps. This isn’t your average daytime carryall. This is the day bag, elevated. With a heavy influence of conceptual architecture and high art, it’s worthy of a woman who knows how to turn things up a notch or two.

Rachel Bilson Cute in Cannes with Chloé

Rachel_Bilson_Chloe_Mini_Elise

Rachel Bilson was spotted boppin’ around town in around town on Sunday in Cannes, France wearing an Isabel Marant skirt with a sweater and a cute Chloé Mini Elsie Bag at her side. This sweet little grained leather bag is just the right size for a vacation to the South of France, don’t you think? ID, check, credit cards, check check, lip gloss, sunscreen and you’re on your way. This bag is good for any season and goes great dressed up for work or dressed down for errands like Rachel demonstrates. Pick up the chic little crossbody at Barney’s for $1095.

Dianna Agron x Valentino Clutch: The Last Laugh
By Bag Snob Tina on May 21, 2013 2:00 pm Tina Craig

Dianna Agron x Valentino Clutch

For Glamour’s “These Girls” event, Dianna Agron went retro glam with a beehive hairdo and ladylike A-line dress. The Glee star performed a monologue about her 11-year awkward phase (hard to believe!) – what better way to have the last laugh with her middle school bullies than in full Valentino?? The real showstopper is that amazing bag in her clutches – with a price tag of more than 5k, the Fall 2013 accessory is basically worth its weight in gold. The studded edges of the platino metal box clutch add serious edge to Dianna’s sweet, white dress. And if that weren’t enough, studded snakeskin pumps (at Nordstrom for $1,095) can always be relied upon to make a statement. Available at Valentino for $5,045.

Chloé Medium Burgundy Leather Gazelle-Fur Amelie Shoulder Bag: Let the Fur Fly
By Bag Snob Tina on May 21, 2013 10:00 am Tina Craig

Chloé Shoulder Bag

I’ll admit it: I’m really just obsessed with that gazelle fur sticking up from the flap of this bag. Sometimes all it requires is a quirky and unexpected detail send a bag from “maybe” to “must.” That, and the contrasted effect of naturalistic fur against burgundy leather is so dreamy.

Fur on handbags is a tricky business, but not only did Chloé get it right (it’s just enough, not overkill), the injection saves the day. An addition like this is an amazing way to spruce up an otherwise bulky, unworthy bag. Because a tan-colored accordion gusset simply is not. I am even obliged to excuse the cumbersomeness of the double-up compartments. It goes to show: a great way with fur will take you far.

On Ssense for $3,595.

Pair with: The key to carrying this early in the season without looking inappropriate is in the pants. A white pair of skinny jeans, a la J Brand, will also pick up on the flap’s white tuft of fur.

At Neiman Marcus for $172.
