Here is an adorable clutch by Fendi with that hand-crafty look, done very well this time. Every grey cloud must have a silver lining, or at least so when it comes to good designers. I like to refer to this bag as their Embellished Rainbow after the Storm Clutch. 3D and complete with beads, this funky purse is obviously very Big Name, and not to be found at your local craft fair, with its signature F buckle and $6,280 pricetag. Contact the company or your local boutique to purchase.

This is still not all from Fendi, as they’re celebrating a very big month. Stay tuned.

This bag looks like it started out with trends from the indie scene. First the designers layered cutout circles atop each other, then added beads. Then the designers moved on from today’s looks, with the most popular of ancient handcrafters’ marks, the Native Americans’ “feathers”, embroidery and thick stitches.

Unfortunately instead of hip and/or homey, the bag looks more like a trashy “professional” in a barely-there fringy skirt complete with diseased boils.

Instead of made with love this $2680 monstrosity is made with extra fug.

Perhaps a good blogger should cover more than she can cover, to really cover as much as she can - or can’t? Anyway, I’m bringing back (after I’ve just come back) weekly bagopshere posts. But I’m trying to expand into bag-related posts from non-bag blogs, too. Tough! I also would love to discover new bag blogs (I’ve receieved some recently and I’m late on adding your wonderful links). Anyway, if you have a post you’d like to suggest - comment us!

• Apparently this Fendi bag ate the wrong part of a turkey this Thanksgiving (and the meal didn’t agree with it) - or, well, what would purses eat anyway? Anyhoo! I don’t enjoy animal cruelty symbols for my heartwarming meets feast (and mashed potatoes) holiday, but I do enjoy giggling at this fab but overcooked purse! –InMyBag
• Plum plaid/croc framed satchel by River Island — you see this is a handbag I would never find to post, especially since it’s from the UK! But gosh, I kind of fancy it! –TheBagLady
• The Addict’s Mantra: The Logo is Not Who You Are –TheRunwayScoop
• The dream find = Vintage Dior Bag for … $8 — leads to the TOUGHEST question of all = is it or is it not—real? (I hope it is, and oh! It makes me want the perfect vintage Dior-at any price!) – Help a girl out over at StyleBytes. (The post is older, but the bag was featured recently in an ensemble.)
• And finally… Of course one must feature a post with one of the fabbest bags in the world, but only in a bagosphere recap when - alas - it is the rare pipe dream of a 30cm Blue Jean Hermés Birkin that is not my own, nor for sale. Whose is it? Megs. I can only dream on my little blogger’s pay, but I’m happy to stay the blogger anyway (and hope to grow, at least)! For the rest of those like I, let us ogle these really well-taken photographs! –ThePurseBlog
  

Today we sum up this holiday week in bag blogging, turkey and graciousness (not to mention a more Christmas-themed than Thanksgiving parade, as usual). Luckily, the graciousness might just continue on the Internet–if we all try hard, we may still have those mashed potatoes whenever we’re able to peel the spuds, we still have all that we give thanks for, and at least hopefully the turkeys are a little bit safer, for now.

At least when it comes to eating them.

No, we must worry more about the cows. Back to life!

Wee-woo wee-woo! What can I say, but just make adoring noises about this gorgeous bag?!

It’s a fabulous, chocolate-trimmed Spy bag in Zucca logo fabric well hidden for a subtle effect under luxe sequins.

This Fendi Spy costs $5,490. *Moans & groans*

Continuing with their style of a very geometric logo print, is the design on Fendi’s Crossword Clutch. In a word: “smart”. With cleverly laid out “tiles” or strips of silver letters on white leather, which spell Fendi in a perfect rectangular “U”, this bag has name appeal and is attractive “to bag”. Complete with a silver metallic handle with “Fs”on each side, appearing similar to their Zucca logo, the clutch is sized 12″ across x 6″ down. This pieced together bag doesn’t have too steep an expense, yet it’s not being given away in a game! It’s $920 at Neiman Marcus.

The newest B. Fendi bag is a hobo with one buckle, sort of simple, but bold and nice. The B. Fendi Zucca Hobo comes with large-logo, Zucca, printed canvas, antiqued brass logo hardware, leather shoulder strap with chain links, interior slip pocket and cell phone pocket. This not-so high maintenance bag’s oversized leather buckle hides a snap and flaps over a zippered closing. $1040.00 comes in a medium 12″ x 9.5″ x 5.5″ at eLUXURY.com.

B. Fendis! B. Fendis! These bags were so prevalent in stores and on people’s wish lists this year. One of the bags of 2006, for sure. The style debuted in the year, and one of the very first to come out, and the first to make most magazines, was the B. Fendi Lace & Embroidery Shoulder Bag. It’s still being sold now - plus it’s on sale! $3,633 from $5,190! Sure, the bag is a busy B., and there might be others you prefer (I actually do) but one has to admit, this bag buzzes luxury.

For sure, the B. Fendi line will be huge in 2007, but what’s next for designs? Check back to Pursed Lips soon for the very next style out!

#5 - Bluemarine Lace and Jewels Evening Bag

That sure is glitzy. In fact, I’d name it Cher after her Vegas-style shows: The Cher Satchel.

#4 - B. Fendi Metallic Leather Shoulder Bag

Wow, look at that thing. It is one site to behold. Love it or hate it, I think it is 100% di-vinnnne!!

#3 - Fendi gold Spy Hobo

This was one of the first Spys I recognized as a bag I liked. Before then, I actually hadn’t posted any. Bad me. Love those Spys now!

#2 - Louis Vuitton Monogram Satin Aumônière

This could easily pass for a high spot on our top 5 party bags list, as well. This bag is gorge!

#1 - Chloe Python Silverado

Silver Metallic Python skin in a fabu IT bag with detailed accents. Um, yes, it’s number 1!

Happy New Year!! See you all this week for the top 5 bags of 2006!

Here is a peak at one item from Fendi’s Spring 2007 bag collection. I hope this is some sort of case, but it could be a little clutch bag. It’s certainly different with that large zipper pull. I just really think this would make a cute beauty or camera case over a bag, though.

See more of the collection at Style.com.

Nothing new and interesting has been coming from Fendi lately, but one bag of note is the Canvas Palazzo Print Tote, featuring a signature-included asymmetrical photo print and chain-printed straps on a roomy—nay, a huge 20″ x 15″—tote shape, for only $650. And the design actually means something; “Palazzo print pays homage to the neo-classical architecture of Fendi’s Palazzo flagship store.”

Still, I’m not convinced. What do you think?
