IMoshion Tobin Convertible Clutch

The IMoshion Tobin Convertible Clutch (in green) as a clutch and as a cross body purse

The word “convertible”  in the name of this purse refers to its ability to turn into a cross body or a handheld clutch by attaching or detaching a long shoulder strap to it. It’s an appropriate adjective but I think it could also refer to something else – the fact that it can be a studded leather fringe clutch OR a fur fringe clutch when you flip it to either side.

It’s like getting two purses in one!

Well, not really of course but I like the combination of the leather and fur here. Aside from being two hot trends for this fall, the right mix of leather and fur has a rich and luxurious feel to it and I think that that was done well on the IMoshion Tobin Convertible Clutch.

The “rich and luxurious feel” is more evident here on the beige color:

The cream-colored leather and fur bring out the gold in the studs and the sparkle in the rhinestones much better than in the brown or the green.

The IMoshion Tobin Convertible Clutch also comes in black and a more fun pink color. Though I am in favor of the beige, the other colors are worth taking a look at and of course, much easier to care for simply because they’re less of dirt magnets.

You can get this clutch at Endless.com. And because it’s made of vegan-friendly faux leather and faux fur, it’s set at a reasonable price of $80.00.

Vanessa Hudgens Fringin’ it at Farmer’s Market

UPDATE (11/12/10): Vanessa Hudgens’ black fringe cross body bag is the Gerard Darel Saint-Germain Leather Midday Midnight Tassel Bag.

*****************

Here’s the secret to how Vanessa Hudgens maintains her slim figure: she eats lots and lots of fruits and vegetables!

The 21-year-old actress was seen stocking up on some fresh produce at the Los Angeles Farmer’s Market last Sunday, September 26th. She was dressed cute and comfortably in a loose white shirt and black ruffle shorts topped off by a brown floppy hat and a black fringe cross body bag:

It looks like Nessa wasn’t too happy to see the paparazzi there at the market with her. Maybe it’s a good idea for her to leave her favorite clothes at home if she wants to avoid being stalked – that floppy hat is already way too recognizable!

I wish I could say the same for her fringe bag but as of now, no one’s ID’ed Vanessa Hudgens’ black fringe cross body bag yet. The closest I found were these two handbags; they’re also cross body bags and it’s great that these have the layered fringe like on Nessa’s bag as well:

Ed Hardy Felicia North South Shoulder Bag, $127.11

Prezzo Fringe Tote, $42.00

The second bag is pretty close to Nessa’s bag. It’s cute but too bad it isn’t the exact same one!

Here are close-up shots of Vanessa Hudgens’ black fringe cross body bag by the way:

Do you think you can help ID this bag?

5 Far From Ordinary Fringe Handbags from AmeriLeather

Tuesday, September 28, 2010

AmeriLeather is just a regular company that has been dealing in quality leather goods such as luggage, briefcases, purses and travel bags for over 20 years. They source and purchase their cowhide leather from major U.S. tanneries which they then ship to Asia to be manufactured into their various leather products.

Theirs is the very common manufacturing process nowadays – gather imported raw materials then have everything made in China. It’s what a typical business would do if it wanted to maximize profits and save on costs.

But as for AmeriLeather’s leather products? The words regular, common or typical DO NOT and CANNOT apply at all.
