Tano Handbags and JPK Paris Handbags Signature Bag – The Bucket Bag

A very popular handbag silhouette right now is the bucket bag and two terrific handbag designers   who count the bucket bag as their signature, best selling handbag are JPK Paris Handbags and Tano Handbags!

What makes the bucket bag such a popular style is the non structured appearance of the bag, very similar to the hobo but having a more “bucket-like” shape (as opposed to the wider slouchier shape of the hobo). The bucket bag silhouette has a very contemporary, modern look while still having a classic appearance that will compliment just about any outfit you wear. A great feature of the bucket bag is the large main compartment that is big enough to carry an e-Reader, yet not too big that all your “things” gets lost in the bottom. The Bucket Bag fits nicely under your arm and hugs your body for better security.

JPK Paris Bucket Bags are made of ballistic nylon (making them super sturdy) with leather trim and are available in many bright, bold colors perfect for the warmer temperatures; Fire Engine Red, Turquoise, Fluorescent Green and Lipstick to name a few. The JPK Paris Bucket Bag is a perfect choice for a great summer handbag and comes fully lined with a beautiful printed pattern, modern chunky hardware (in gunmetal or gold) and two zippered interior wall pockets for organization.

Tano Handbags Zippy Bucket Bags are made of polished Lux leather, and also come fully lined with one zippered interior pocket and two leather slit pockets for your cell phone and glasses. The exterior of the bag has two zippered pockets on each side of the bag, great for items you need to grab quickly and often. The Tano Zippy Bucket gets an A+ for organization, probably part of the reason it has become such a huge success!  Tano’s Zippy Bucket is offered in black and brown, a better year-round bag that is versatile for all seasons.

So if you are in the market for a new handbag and are looking for a fresh new look, check out JPK Paris and Tano Handbag’s fabulous bucket bags at IrvsLuggage.com today!

Really, everyone should have a bucket list and a bucket bag!!  🙂

Show off your Tough Love and Blue Jeans with Harvey’s Seatbelt Bags

Everyone has a moment in their life that defines them. It can force you to change your mind about something or it can reaffirm the choices you have already made. For some, that moment involves a little tough love from a teacher, parent, boss or coach who wants the best for you and hopes to teach you a life lesson.

Think about your own “tough love” moment and who helped shape your choices. Who was most important to you? For me, it was a coach in college. Now try to remember what you were wearing (even if it was a long time ago!) I was wearing a sweatshirt, blue jeans and sneakers.

Back to the future for a moment and as I catch up on the latest leather handbag news, I am quietly reminded of these times with Harvey’s Seatbelt Bags rerelease of two popular handbag collections – Tough Love and Forever Blue Jean.

Harvey’s Tough Love tradition started back in 2005 as a Valentine’s Day Special Edition Seatbeltbag and each collection has been hot ever since! This year Harvey’s is mixing it up with Margot; a fresh collection of mixed sized woven fun and flirty toned Seatbelts in reds, pinks and purples. Margot is accented with Black retro acrylic handles and also comes with a detachable cross-body strap that clips to the exterior d-rings for multiple toting options. The 2012 edition of Tough Love, Margot Medium Tote Mix Weave Tough Love, includes the following seatbelt colors: Cotton Candy, Maroon, Espresso, Razzleberry, Violet, Rose, Scarlet, Ballet, Peony, Red and Black.

Now that we are into the New Year, Harvey’s has introduced their 4th collection of Forever Blue Jean Seatbeltbags. This time available in the Convertible Tote, Large Satchel and matching Clutch Wallet; Forever Blue Jeans is a fun mix of new and vintage blue Seatbelts woven with gray and silver tones! The collection is also lined with a special seamed denim design. Forever Blue Jeans also blends well with any Blue, Black or Storm colored Harvey’s Original Seatbeltbag wallets and accessories – a great gift set idea for any Harvey’s fan!

Whether this is your first Harvey’s purchase or you are a loyal follower, Harvey’s newest versions of Tough Love and Forever Blue Jean will entice you and make you wish for more (especially when Harvey’s Seatbelt Bags are on sale!) Are you tough enough? Shop with Irv’s Luggage and Clutch it up, before this round of Tough Love is gone forever!
