Roberta Di Camerino Calf Leather Bag
If you’ve always loved the lady like kiss-lock frame purses but wish you had more space, you will love this bag by Roberta Di Camerino ($1174). It’s a super sized version of the feminine classic with a buckle adornment in bubble gum pink across an understated beige color palette. While it unfortunately lacks the kiss lock closure, it does have a frame and features a beige and pink leather double handle with shiny gold metal accents.
Louis Vuitton for iPad
Louis Vuitton’s iPad case, a simple sleeve in the label’s signature Monogram or the monochrome Damier Graphite, is the first unveiled by major designer for Steve Jobs’ all-conquering tablet. It lends the device the feel of a lightweight, ultra-portable attaché case – appropriate given that it is superseding your offline files and folders. It also gives your iPad some much-needed protection, because believe us, as much as you want an iPad, you will accidentally drop it at some point. The only drawback? It won’t be in stores until 2011.
