Available in March, the collection, available only in Singapore (sorry folks!) comprises a special Boston bag (of which 78 were made at approximately $903 US dollars) in white GG coated canvas featuring a hand painted version of the Paravanda Frida motif with the iconic Gucci web in pink and white and Gucci logo (meanwhile, 10 were made of a version with white crocodile handles); a wristlet in white GG coated canvas featuring a hand painted version of the Paravanda Frida motif and a cotton T-shirt featuring the Paravanda Frida motif styled in gray for men and white for women. The Boston bag is a classic Gucci shape--their equivalent to Louis Vuitton's Speedy, you could say--and the one bag that's been reinterpreted in countless versions and for a host of special occasions. All the bags in the special edition series have unique serial numbers embossed inside. Gucci also available here.

Whether or not this bag is for you, we should all be excited for the return of glam!! Feather and sequins!! What can be more decadent? Well, it's not like Valentino ever turned sensible but I cannot wait to see what they have in store for us once they pull out all the stops!! You cannot get a sense of the intricacy and details until close inspection but once you do you begin to appreciate the couture luxury and feel. Sure this is super fancy and a bit much for everyday but as a show piece you have to admit, it is pretty fabulous. At Bergdorf Goodman for $4,990.

If this is over the top for you, the Glam tote has the same idea with less embellishments. Go to jump page for photo and info.

I can't think of a better way to celebrate Chinese New Year this weekend than sharing the fabulous Chanel Paris-Shanghai collection with you!  My grandmother grew up in Shanghai during the height of its glory in the 1920's and 1930's, or as she calls it-- the chicest city on earth (other than Paris, she will admit).  Boy does she have great stories of her life as a young Shanghainese socialite (but I'm saving that for my book)!  I'm certain she'd approve of Chanel's beautiful homage to her glorious hometown (great excuse for me to pick up several bags so I can show them to her!)-- starting with the adorable plexi and enamel Chinese doll clutch above.  It's so exquisite and beautifully made that I will most likely have a glass case made to display it, taking it out for only the most special of occasions.  The sparkling sequined classic flap bags below are also very Chinese, we love anything shiny and anything red-- especially for Chinese New Year (I wear red underwear during the entire 2 weeks of celebrations-- sorry, is that too much info?).  The Paris-Shanghai collection is coming soon to a CHANEL boutique near you! This is a special sneak preview for Bag Snob readers, I will have more info for you soon!  Happy "Hu" Year everyone!

This bag registers so high on the style meter, it is redefining the word "chic"--literally. While on my myriad of Pre-Fall 2010 appointments (translation: the clothes that come out in July and August), I stopped in my tracks at YSL, whose accessories bowled me over. The divine chunky wedges aside, I was drawn to this vintage-inspired handbag. Stefano Pilati went military for pre-fall this year and this bag is the perfect complement to epaulettes, wide leg pants and belted jackets. Doesn't this bag look like something your mom carried when she was young? Who else is having a "Brady Bunch" moment? I love the saddle bag-esque shape of this bag and the antiquated hardware. Inside are roomy compartments that expand to accommodate your belongings. The "Y" insignia closure is also incorporated in a way that it's not garish whatsoever. While this bag also comes in suede, I love it in this leather version; it's rigid, durable and completely Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.

Price on request, available at YSL stores in mid-summer, www.ysl.com.

I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a Marc Jacobs bag, by either the diffusion line or the main one! Actually, I've never been excited by a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag. This Leola Hobo is the perfect mix of trendy playfulness and polished design. The zipper has undeniably replaced the studs this season but instead of randomly throwing zippers for the sake of the trend, this design incorporates it in an elegant asymmetrical style. $495 at Neiman Marcus.
