That’s how I came across this picture of Zooey Deschanel and her adorable red leather satchel (purse) monogrammed with her initials.

From facebook.com

Don’t you just love it? Good news is I found it and it’s only about $130!

Zooey is a known fan of Etsy so it is no surprise that the satchel is available there. It is actually by Leather Satchel Co, but they use Etsy as an ecommerce outlet.

Turns out her orange purse is by Riki Rosetta who is set to have a flash sale on her website on Saturday, September 10th in celebration of her very first trunk show.  All products, including the orange tote, will be 20% off on her website from 12pm to 6pm so start planning!

If you are interested in attending her trunk show, visit the boutique Deborah Gilbert Smith located at 340 Millburn Avenue in Millburn, NJ on Saturday, September 10th from 12pm to 3pm.

In the mean time, lets drool over her fab collection of purses!

I love finding new stores and little treasures. My latest find is Emen Gee Designs, a fun little shop with handmade purses and other accessories.

In an effort to protect their design, Botkier quickly sent off a cease and desist letter.

Because of limitations in the protection of fashion under intellectual property law, I’m guessing Botkier is alleging “trade dress” infringement. Trade dress essentially protects the shape of something. Examples include the shape of the Coke bottle, the McDonald’s Happy Meal box, and Taco Bell Restaurant buildings.

This would mean Botkier is trying to protect the silhouette of the Clyde bag, which they feel is distinctive. Remember, distinctive means that when you see the shape, you instantly recognize it as a Botkier bag.

Do you think Botkier has a case?

However, the rips, tears, and stains became too much for me so it was time to say goodbye.

Lucky for me, I found this cute faux-leather bag at Forever 21 for $30. (It’s not on their site, but it’s in their stores.)  It’s hard to let go of my awesome yellow bag, but I’m hoping this new one will live up to its predecessor!

I’ve discovered so many great sites and made so many new friends because of it. (Follow me!) My newest discovery is Bag Inc, a fun affordable purse site. They have some very chic leather purses for under $100. How can that be? I don’t know, but I’m not complaining!
