Today we want to talk about Prada and in particular about its handbags collections. When it comes of Prada it’s impossible to not talk of quality that together with elegance creates that time-less style we have always been loving.

Far by seasons and fast trends Miuccia Prada has always managed to capture fashion suggestions and redesign them on her bags and shoes collections where new elements come near recurrent iconic patterns creating quite a reassuring effect.

This is what happens with the jacquard logo on the saffiano fabric of the bags. All the characteristic we have talked about can be found on the East West jacquard nylon tote also featuring nappa handles and refinements, buckles and detachable strap. It’s a classic model but absolutely in current fashion, maybe thank to the gathered effect of the fabric or simply for its elegant simplicity.

It’s an iconic handbag of the brand D&G and its name is Lilly Bag. This exclusive accessory doesn’t miss of anything as it is capacious and attractive at the same time. The Lilly bag, designed by the duo Dolce&Gabbana is realized in leather or in coloured patent leather.

It has been designed in different sizes, all of them provided with zips creating two or four useful parts. A real temptation!

The Utopia handbag by Roberto Cavalli with its rounded design that reminds about a saddle, is within the most distinguished bags this spring/summer 2009. The country touch given by the long and numerous fringes are mixed with the studs to give the celebrated bag as well a hint of punk.

A prestigious style and look, in highly soft leather, this exquisite bag has the ideal size to be your perfect partner during the hole day. Very appreciated by Halle Barry, Eva Herzigova, Milla Jovovich, Liz Hurley, Asia Argento and Jessica Simpson.

Tod’s new shopping bag, the G-Bag, is dedicated to Gwyneth Paltrow who is the brand’s excellent testimonial. Made in different dimensions and materials it easily transforms from shoulder bag to hand bag. The G-Bag is one of the main designs of the new Tod’s collection.

From the colored bags and the ones in resistant cotton to the ones in leather the Italian brand’s handmade tradition still remains the protagonist. The balance between style and handiness is perfectly combined in this new bag, which is designated to be one of the Spring’s Must Have. Perfect together with this year’s collection, like the Tilda bag or the new strong colored or leather made Helmet bag.

The new Prada Primitive bags  have in their name the essence of the collection: the desire for nature and origins. The main characteristic is the crumpled aspect of the materials and their soft shape.

The aspiration to came back to wild nature and primordial atmospheres was previously announced at the fashion show by the S/S collection and then by the ad campaign. The crumpled and deconstructed dress are perfectly complemented by bags.

Colours and materials emphasize the search for primitives dimensions and nature with a real protagonist: python. Primitive bags are realized in soft leather but there are also jacquard nylon versions or the particular python skin printed nylon bag with lateral leather bows.

While waiting for 2009 Spring/Summer collections there are many big and little pleasures that could be satisfied thank to sales!

Paciotti mini satchel is one of the ultimate (but not less extraordinary!) Winter temptations perfect for spring as well, in glam purple or in classic back.

This precious buckle double handles satin clutch is an elegant evening bag that for its fun shape perfectly matches with a top and your favourite jeans, obviously with a stiletto.

Jimmy Choo is well-known as one of the best shoe designers. When it comes of bags he manages to create real marvels as well. One proof of that is the patent leather and suede bauletto bag.

The two materials matched together create an absolutely charming effect. Studs and dark golden details complements the whole series of trends that are gathered in just one handbag. The main peculiarity of the Jimmy Choo bauletto bag is the central golden zip dividing the bag design into two mirror-like parts.

Beside the bauletto model there is also the tote bag by Jimmy Choo realized in the same materials (patent leather and suede) and colours. It has the central zip as well but also four other horizontal zips.

A cool, sparkling and fun version of the clutch. Provided with zip and padlock this creative envelope-shaped clutch bag is one of the best fall-winter latest fashions and is designed by the D&G duo of Dolce and Gabbana. The clutch is available in two different sizes, both absolutely irresistible!

The bag can create a trendy and smart look when matched with jeans and a top or either a more elegant and fashionable one adding a glam and stylish touch to the ensemble. The D&G clutch deserves a place among the 2008/09 fall-winter it-bags in any of its colors, like red, purple or black.

The bags and accessories by Tod’s are always synonymous with elegance and timelessness. The company has distinguished itself for its excellence in the field of Made in
Italy since it started. This was possible thanks to his city style, classic but not obvious, fashionable but not subject to the change of fashion.

The new Goa bags of the Spring/Summer collection by Tod’s certainly represents a novelty in respect to the classic shapes the brands have customized us to. This handbag enriched with new particularity like the braided handle, the lateral strings and the rouches created by the leather.

The black tone to go with everything, the gold tone to get a glam effect and the patent leather to be all the vogue: this bag, designed by Roberto Cavalli, has plenty of everything. They say that with the right accessory you can make even the simplest dress stylish. Well, this fabulous creation it’s a proof of that. It’s, as well, a perfect accessory for richer prints.

The Cavalli clutch is available at our luxury fashion boutique for ladies, Giglio Donna.

The New Year’s eve is the best occasion to wear a sensational evening dress like the metallic green one designed by Roberto Cavalli for his fall winter collection.

Holiday are getting near as well as the last day of the year. To celebrate the beginning of the new one you will need then a bright look, and this dress is the perfect choice to light the party up with a special and fascinating allure.

Perfect to be worn for the Christmas holidays, this evening bag is an example of the sophistication and elegance distinguishing the Gucci brand. The Crystal evening bag is available in many colours and materials and features a maxi buckle, engraved Gucci script logo and magnetic snap closure.

This slim clutch holds everything we need in those nights and it’s one of the best Christmas gifts as regards accessories. The Gucci Crystal bags are available at our boutique Giglio Donna and soon at our new Giglio Store online.

When it comes of trends, this year we can’t help but talk about patent leather.  As we have widely written in the first issue of our new Giglio Magazine, this year every trend is a leap in the past. It doesn’t matter if we are referring to the 60s, the 70s or the 80s, as long as the trend is extreme. After ankle booties, platform shoes, high-waisted garments, patent leather accessories cannot be missed.  

Who knows it well it’s the brand Prada who has dedicated to this trend the whole Fall Winter collection 07/08. The picture portrays one of the wonderful Prada maxi-models that is on sale at our boutique Giglio Donna. This black patent leather handbag is characterized by a quilted soft leather and a removable cross-body strap. This big, capacious, functional but not bulky accessory can be our whole-day-mate.

One of the most strong trend, this winter, is the metallic effect which is added into the closet from clothes to accessories. It can be obtained with silver-tone leather shoes and handbags or with metallic hardware and in both cases the effect will be magical and at the top glamour. Totally different between them but both in keeping with this year’s trend are the two accessories created by the Versace.

The hexagonal handbag (on the right) is definitely more casual. This silver-tone aged leather handbag is perfect for every kind of night out and every out-fit. It completes and polishes immediately every look: trendy with a skinny jean an a pair of high-heeled shoes, sophisticated and charming with a little black dress.  The stiff evening bag (on the left) is more elegant. It’s totally in silver-tone with metallic details and handle. Precious ornament with no excesses this accessory of the new Versace collection is a little purse of big elegance and style that makes every colour precious and is perfect for every out-fit.
