When it comes to buying a new handbag, at what point do you consider your purchase an investment? For most of us, with the way the economy has been fluctuating lately, buying an expensive handbag might require a little more thought and planning than say, an impulse purchase. This got me thinking, how many handbag […]

What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you see this clutch? I have to say, I am taken back to my younger days and I totally think Barbie or Gem and the Rockers. Then, I instantly think big hair, leggings (which we all know made their comeback a little bit ago) and […]

At this point, we’ve seen the Marc Jacobs Stam in many incarnations. There were the original black and petrol quilted versions, way back in 2005. We’ve had oversized quilts, silver and blue python, and, for one season, the Stam Hobo (anyone know where I can still get one of these?). I myself […]

The most I ever knew about Cacharel was that they made my favorite perfume, Anais-Anais, I was 12 and though I dutifully read Seventeen, Vogue, Harpers, and even the odd Cosmo swiped from my grandmother I had no idea that Cacharel was first a fashion house.
Like so many other almost forgotten labels (Lanvin, Chloe, Balenciaga, Biba, Members Only…), Cacharel is getting a second life of late and once I came across some handbags, well, you all know I’m a sucker for a resurrected label.
In a mustard color almost as forgotten until recently as the label, this shoulder bag is perfectly sweet, and simple. There are no over sized logos, or hallmarks, there is hardly any hardware at all, but that doesn’t mean the bag is short on detail. Straps of leather tied casually to rings form the handles for the bag, leaving soft ends hanging for a scarf like effect. There are 2 straps on the sides, and some added stitching for some additional interest, but overall, it’s a clean bag, that will work for many casual outfits all season.
And don’t underestimate the color’s versatility. Mustard is huge this fall, and works so beautifully with neutrals and browns that this may be an all season bag!
The Cacharel mustard handbag is $488 from TOFF Miami.
