Like all other Isabella Fiore handbags from the Mosaic collection, Susanna features that Moroccan inspiration handcrafted intricate tile work that makes these bags stand out. In this case, the embroidery is placed on the outer front flap-patch pocket and nearby the top edge of the bag. It’s beautiful and discreet and it gives Susanna a sort of vintage look many women appreciate. This tote bag has double braided shoulder straps with 5.5” drop.

The interior is lined and the interior pockets have a nice leather trim on the edge, matching the indigo color of the exterior. The interior zip pocket is large enough and there are also two multifunctional pockets for the cell phone and the pda or for any other item you may want to easily find inside your purse.

The Liz bag from Once Upon a Tattoo Isabella Fiore handbags collection is maybe the best of all new items in their Spring / Summer 2010 catalogue. Liz is a mid size shoulder bag available in a very nice and soft pale yellow with brown embroidered tattoo-like patterns. For girls who like darker colors for their bags, there’s a version of this shoulder bag in reverse colors: black leather with beige patterns.

This Isabella Fiore shoulder bag features a front flap with magnetic closure and an interior zip pocket and pouches. The back zip pocket is useful for keeping items such as ID papers handy when traveling, for instance. The bag is made from vegetable-dyed leather lined with fabric. It has a 10” drop single strap with chain links alternating leather and metal rings.

Rambler’s Legacy is one of those Coach bags that one could recognize on the street from the first glance. It’s a kind of Coach icon, in the same glove tanned leather that made Coach famous since such a long time ago. In my view, the mahogany color version of Coach Rambler’s Legacy looks much better than the black one. It’s probably the golden hardware which plays a role in my preference for the mahogany, but actually both versions are elegant and perfect to the smallest detail. The turnlock closure is typical for older Coach bags, with its nice, oval shape.

The gusseted pockets are roomy enough to accommodate pretty much everything that a modern girl would love to carry around with her every day. This shoulder bag has a 48” adjustable strap.

One of the main keywords in defining the Stewardess Coach bag is convenience. That’s because flight attendants need to be able, for instance, to access certain items inside their bag by using only one hand. The open pockets are just perfect for that, as well as the turnlock closure which doesn’t require two hands to open it. But of course you don’t have to be a flight attendant to love this purse. It’s one of the Coach bags classics we love to have in our collection and wear from time to time. I can see myself wearing this bag even in ten years from now, without worrying that I’d look old fashioned.

The glove tanned leather is smooth, yet resistant. Moreover, the brass feet prevent bottom scuffing, in case you have the bad habit of putting your bag on the ground. The stewardess bag is available only in black color and it features an adjustable 26” strap, which can also be detached, if needed.
