Becks’ bags were up for grabs on Net-a-Porter UK this morning, and they SOLD OUT like Justin Bieber tickets at a little-girl-fest. The bags officially hit stores later this month.

Beckham’s new handbag line comes in six sexy styles and retails between $1,800 to $13,950. Look for them at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus LA and netaporter.com.

I’m impressed. Anything this girl touches turns to gold bricks of awesome.

Victoria seamlessly bridged the gap from pop superstar to trophy wife to high-fashion designer. She is brand new to the couture game and was already nominated for a British Fashion Award earlier this year.

Can’t wait to see the continued evolution of the Beckham power couple, as they dominate the world.

BAG FIGHT!!

Hmmm…

Does the BCBG bag on the left look familiar?

Authentic Marc Jacobs CHEWBACCA hair-on satachel. M Jacobs partners with Evil Empire to bring you the galaxy’s hottest handbags.

Marc Jacobs is clearly an innovator. But did you know he is bananas for Star Wars?

For his latest handbag installment, Jacobs scoured the outer galaxies finally landing in the nether regions of Naboo to obtain the ultimate satchel medium: WOOKIE FUR!!

Available at a space retailer near you for remarkably low £37 solar shillings.

Some things are just made for each, and fall and tan leather are two of them. Although you can certainly wear tan leather accessories year-round, the fall is when the earth tone just feels best. So now is a better time than ever to assess your handbag situation and make a good back to school investment that will start you off right  (okay, we know we’re not really headed back to school, but it’s a good excuse to shop).

This roomy, buttery Gap Leather Tassel Tote ($98) is one of those bags that only gets better (and more perfectly worn-in) with time. With a long double handle and easy to access side compartments, this is the ultimate commuting tote.

This Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Magazine Clutch ($348) can be worn alone or used inside a larger bag to organize your life, ie. no more digging for keys. It also has a detachable shoulder strap, so you can stash your tote, whip this baby out and wear it out to dinner or anywhere else a lady with a smashing leather bag might go.

If a hobo is more your style, you will love the Hype Zula Lambskin Leather Hobo ($196, down from $295). Its slouchy shape and glam gold chains make it such a good choice for weekends brunches and play.

If you’re all set on leather bags, but don’t want to spend a fortune on a big bag, treat yourself to a token like J. Crew’s Studded Leather Pouch ($68). For a fraction of the price of a shoulder bag, this wristlet can be worn for a everything from a coffee run to a big night out.

And if you’re not in the market for a leather-size investment right now but you still want to cash in on the look, the Heather Cognac Crossbody Bag ($29.50) from Delia’s is a great, inexpensive find.

Below you’ll find Bryna’s new Fall 2010 collection and if you are interested in becoming the owner of one of those you can find them on Bryna Nicole website, Shop Style, Ideeli and at your local stores. Please check Bryna’s website for more information.

Bryna was also kind enough to share her experiences with me and allowed me to interview her. Here is a recap of our brief conversation.

Before you start reading let me know who is your favorite Handbag Designer?

1. What made you decide to design handbags?

I was working as a stylist at a local boutique and had clients who were dying for a less brand-oriented luxury handbag and there were none out there at the time, so I decided to go to fashion school to learn the business.

Why handbags and not clothes?

Sizing is intimidating for someone who didn’t even know how to sew! Handbags were also where I saw an opening in the market.

2. What is your inspiration?

I’m inspired by all sorts of things. What my friends and what I need in a bag really comes to mind when sitting down to create a new shape. Functionality and style is always the most important.

3. How would you describe your brand? And what is different about your brand?

Vintage-inspired luxury with modern details. I try to use really unique leathers and textures throughout the collection and there is a very special attention paid to the smallest details like zipper pulls, lining fabric, and stitch size.

4. Who is your favorite handbag designer and why?

Miu Miu’s bags are always amazing. They use the best textures and combine things in ways that others would never dream of. They maintain the highest standard of luxury while still making a young, fun and functional bag.

5. What do you love about your job and what you don’t like so much?

I love that I am my own boss. I could say this is one of the challenges as well. I don’t have to answer to anyone but myself and a lot of times that is the hardest things to do! It takes a lot of self-motivation but luckily I love what I do and when I see a woman walking down the street with one of my bags, it’s the biggest reward.

6. Describe an average day of a handbag designer?

Oh jeez. It can be completely different every day! I work out of my home, so the first couple hours are usually answering emails and tending to any urgent things that have popped up since I went to sleep the night before. I usually have a couple designs in the works so some time is spent working on finalizing the detail sketches. Lots of counting: inventory, orders, prices, hardware quantities. Always making sure I have enough pieces for the upcoming production. Sometimes I have a meeting with a boutique or a trunk show or shopping event. A lot of times I’m travelling to NY, LA or Vegas – and most days I try to save an hour to take my puppy to the park .

7. Lamb or cow leather?

Mostly cow because the skins are much larger and easier to work with, but lamb is sooo soft…

8. Plans for the future? What’s’ next? Any plans to design other things?

Future plans include more accessories: belts, jewelry etc…and hopefully down the line we will get into shoes!

I am beyond obsessed with the simplicity of this Lanvin T-shirt dress. Alber Elbaz kills it every time. I swear he is an alien. The Balmain aviators are bad ass too. Simple yet totally effective. I have a feeling they are about to get reaaaally played out everywhere but for now I have a big crush. As for everything else, I would like to load a bunch of gold accessories with the white dress and go with my staple le vernis Chanel nail colour. Easy and clean. Now on to our handbag and shoe. I am loooooooving Marni’s new muted pink handbag that just popped out. $1400.. I might need it. :-/ And then Miu is killing 60′s mod this season as we are all aware of and these shoes are beyond darling and innocent looking.. but then the sky high heel gives it that modern day edge. I’m definitely into it. Miu Miu is front runner for me this season second to Balenciaga. Without a doubt. Well, I’m off to bed early with the beau and the kittens. Hope you are all having a great Saturday!

STEPHANIE Pratt is heading to New York — according to a new report.

Insiders say The Hills star is bound for the Big Apple so she can join MTV reality show The City.

Stephanie — the sister of psycho Spencer Pratt — has been talking to producers of the show, which stars Whitney Port and Olivia Palermo, reports New York Post gossip column Page Six.

“Now that The Hills is over, Stephanie has been talking about moving to New York for The City,” a source said.

“There would be a lot of drama there because her ex-best friend, Roxy Olin, is a regular on the show — and there’s bad blood because Roxy just dropped Stephanie for Whitney Port.”

this makes sense. Maybe it will follow her starting her handbag line.

LINK LOVE:stephanie pratt to star in “The City”?

Once upon a time, a Russian artist prophesied the careers of her three Israeli granddaughters, Dina, Yael, and Tamar Magnes. The first would create clothing, the second, jewelry, and the third, graphic design.

Today it’s only fitting that, the sisters would look to their wise grandmother as the inspiration for their joint venture, a line of high end handbags. The sisters gathered in New York with a dream of designing and creating together. They love working with materials such as Italian leather, Natural canvas, vintage wool and silky linings. Made ‘with love in NYC’ (as every tag on every handbag states) the handbag are an expression of their individuality and harmony as a trio.

Check out more of their designs here.
