Turn Any Bag Into a Fur Fringe Handbag with the Kettle Black Fur Hanging Clip

Victoria Beckham at London’s Heathrow Airport on November 14, 2010

Remember Victoria Beckham’s Louis Vuitton Foxtail Bag that we featured here on our blog sometime last year? Well now, you can get that LV bag’s $2,500 look for just $129.00 with the Kettle Black Fur Hanging Clip:

Kettle Black Fur Hanging Clip in Red Fox and Grey Fox

That is, if you liked the look in the first place. This fur clip is available at Singer22.com and the online retailer also suggests that you can use it as a belt loop keychain worn like so:

I think we should stick to sticking it onto handbags, don’t you think so?

I also gotta warn animal-loving handbag collectors out there that though this hanging clip may be 95% cheaper than the LV, it’s still made of 100% real fox fur. That sort of justifies the over 100-dollar price tag for just a keychain but not its use of real fox fur. I wish Kettle Black just used faux fur for this as not only is it cruelty-free, but they could’ve also further lowered the price on this hanging clip.

Would you pay $129.00 for this keychain made of real fox fur?

Rachel Zoe Covers a Possible Baby Bump and Reveals a New Rachel Zoe for QVC Fringe Bag All in One Go

Tuesday, October 12, 2010

Rachel Zoe shops in West Hollywood on October 9, 2010

These pictures don’t reveal if Rachel Zoe is indeed pregnant or not but they do confirm one thing: Rachel Zoe’s new fringe handbag design for her Rachel Zoe for QVC fashion line!

The possibly pregnant pint-sized stylista easily kept her belly covered with her large black messenger bag with long fringes. This doesn’t help suppress (or directly address) the pregnancy rumors but at least we do get to see a new design for her Rachel Zoe for QVC fall collection as modeled by the designer herself.

Actually, Rachel Zoe first revealed this fringe handbag in a personal picture posted over at her own website RachelZoe.com:

It was posted on September 30th and came with the caption: “Dying over my new @qvc bags, can’t wait to rock them for fall! Avail. Oct 27th! XoRZ”

Well, that obviously means we still have a little over two weeks to wait out before we can get the new Rachel Zoe for QVC bags, but if you can’t bear it any longer and must have a fringe bag like hers now, then here’s a similar alternative from Corso Como:

Corso Como Payson Large Flap Cross-Body

This Corso Como Payson Large Flap Cross-Body is $298.00. It’s more expensive than the current Rachel Zoe for QVC handbags (which retail between $80 to $220), but there hasn’t been any news on the prices for the new handbags yet and they just might go higher than $298.00.

You can wait until October 27th to find out or you can get the Corso Como Payson Large Flap Cross-Body now at Endless.com. Whichever you choose, both fringe handbags look great anyway so it’s a win-win situation!

Victoria Justice with a Kotur Fino Feathery Fringe Clutch at the 2010 Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party

Saturday, October 9, 2010

Victoria Justice was at the 2010 Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party held at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, CA last October 1. As the 17-year-old actress is one of the hottest teen celebrities right now, she was right in place at the star-studded event.

Victoria Justice chose to wear a grey short-sleeved wrap skirt dress and black gladiator platform sandals both from Michael Kors who was one of the major sponsors of the night. She accessorized with black and gold jewelry and finished off her look with a feathery fringe clutch:

Alright, another feathery fringe spot! I know not a lot of people are fans of feathers on handbags but it’s just that we so rarely see them that I get ecstatic whenever I spot one. The last time we saw a feathered handbag was on Olivia Palermo and before that it was just Jennifer Lopez, so this one on Victoria Justice brings up the tally to a grand total of three.

Here’s Victoria Justice’s clutch up close:

The fringe is a mix of feathers and gold sequin circles, which makes for an interesting textural design on the clutch’s body. The lock is adorned with a precious jewel clasp.

Victoria Justice’s clutch is the Kotur Fino Feather Clutch. I wasn’t able to get an exact price on it, but Kotur handbags are generally priced between $300 to $900 with some items going as high as $1,500.

Feather fringe clutches are beautiful but they don’t have to be as expensive as Victoria’s! Here are 3 feather fringe clutches (the most expensive one set at just $56.00!) to prove just that:
