I’m obsessed with most of the new Fall arrivals at all of my favorite boutiques (it’s getting cooler here, so I’m starting to feel like Fall is on the way), but Mick Margo always has one of the very best selections online.
They have Sari Gueron’s new diffusion line, Sari:

Rachel Comey:

New handbag designer Tila March:

and old favorite, Jerome Dreyfuss (sigh). I love all of the Jerome Dreyfuss bags this season…

Spend some time over at Mick Margo – there’s not just shopping, they have designer interviews, and a FABULOUS retrospective of NYFW08.
And come back here and share with us your purchases – we want to see!!
No matter how many bags I have, I’m always thinking of my next. I know, it’s a sickness. And actually, I’m going to try and refrain from buying new bags for a while and love the ones I already have as part of a general movement towards “sitting still” and enjoying the ABUNDANCE that is my closet for a while. BUT….if I were going to purchase a new bag this fall, I think it would be by Tila March.
Mick Margo introduced me to these bags, and this suede lovely is my ABSOLUTE favorite:

(and apparently Funky LaLa will be stocking these bags too…and you’ll get a 15% discount there if you use code GRECHEN15)
Tila March is the creation of a collaboration between a French Fashion Editor (oh la la!) and a marketing executive for a luxury leather goods business. Talk about a guaranteed success…
They’ve already been picked up at Collete, Bergdorf Goodman, Henri Bendel, and many other department stores and boutiques around the world. The price point isn’t bad, the suede bag above is $767, and clutches are about $338.
I’m also in love with this colorful (the purple is my favorite) “Bonnie” handbag/shoulder bag/clutch (love the versatility)
